Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2245DBR from Texas Instruments is an octal transceiver and line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data bus communication between A- and B-buses. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), B-port 25-Ω series termination, and operates from –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V. Used in industrial backplane interfaces and legacy bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2245DBR datasheet, SN74ABT2245DBR pinout, SN74ABT2245DBR application, or SN74ABT2245DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SSOP package, 3.8 ns typical A→B propagation delay, 12 mA B-port sink capability, integrated 25-Ω series resistors on B outputs, and high-impedance state during power-up/down.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT2245DBR implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent DIR and OE controls enabling bidirectional data flow: low DIR routes B→A, high DIR routes A→B, and high OE forces all outputs into high-impedance isolation. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process delivers low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and robust latch-up immunity (>500 mA).
B-port outputs integrate 25-Ω series resistors to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components, while A-port outputs support higher drive strength (64 mA sink). The device enters high-impedance state when VCC is below 2.1 V, and requires OE tied to VCC via pullup resistor above that threshold to guarantee isolation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2245APW | 3.3-V only operation; lower drive (24 mA A-port, 12 mA B-port); no integrated B-port series resistors | Suitable for modern low-voltage systems but requires external termination for clean edges on B-bus | Select when migrating to 3.3-V infrastructure and external resistors are acceptable |
| SN74ABT245DBR | Same ABT family, identical pinout and specs, but lacks B-port 25-Ω series resistors | Requires discrete 25-Ω resistors on B outputs for equivalent signal integrity | Choose only if B-port termination is implemented externally and cost-per-resistor is justified |
Compared with SN74LVC2245APW and SN74ABT245DBR, the SN74ABT2245DBR uniquely integrates B-port 25-Ω series resistors-reducing component count and layout complexity-while maintaining full 5-V TTL compatibility and superior latch-up immunity, making it optimal for industrial bus isolation where signal integrity and robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT2245DBR?
The SN74ABT2245DBR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is specified in the recommended operating conditions table of the SCBS234D datasheet and applies specifically to the SN74ABT2245DBR variant in the DB package. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior or reduced reliability.
Does SN74ABT2245DBR require external series resistors on the B-port outputs?
No, the SN74ABT2245DBR does not require external series resistors on the B-port outputs because it integrates equivalent 25-Ω series resistors internally. This feature is explicitly stated in the device description and functional overview of the SCBS234D datasheet and eliminates the need for discrete termination components, reducing BOM cost and PCB area.
What happens to SN74ABT2245DBR outputs during power-up?
When VCC is between 0 V and 2.1 V, the SN74ABT2245DBR automatically enters a high-impedance state on all outputs, preventing bus contention during power sequencing. However, to guarantee high-impedance above 2.1 V, OE must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor-the minimum value depends on the driver's current-sourcing capability as noted in the datasheet.
What is the maximum sink current supported by the A-port outputs of SN74ABT2245DBR?
The A-port outputs of SN74ABT2245DBR support up to 64 mA sink current under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = 25°C), as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the SCBS234D datasheet. This rating enables direct driving of heavier capacitive loads or longer traces without external buffering.
Is SN74ABT2245DBR pin-compatible with SN74ABT245DBR?
Yes, SN74ABT2245DBR is pin-compatible with SN74ABT245DBR-both use the same 20-pin DB package and identical pinout (DIR, A1–A8, GND, B1–B8, OE, VCC). However, SN74ABT2245DBR includes integrated 25-Ω series resistors on B-port outputs, whereas SN74ABT245DBR does not; this difference affects signal integrity design but not physical layout.
