Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2245NG4 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), 25-Ω integrated series resistors on B-port outputs, ±12 mA B-port drive, and 64 mA A-port sink capability at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. It operates from –40°C to 85°C and supports high-speed logic interfacing in industrial backplane and memory expansion systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2245NG4 datasheet, SN74ABT2245NG4 pinout, SN74ABT2245NG4 application, or SN74ABT2245NG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.5 ns), 3-state control robustness during power sequencing, B-port slew rate control via internal 25-Ω resistors, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic families across 4.5–5.5 V supply.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT2245NG4 implements a dual-octet bidirectional transceiver architecture with independent DIR and OE controls. Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process enables low propagation delay (≤4.5 ns) while maintaining high noise immunity and latch-up resistance (>500 mA per JESD-17). The device enters high-impedance state during power-up/down when VCC is below 2.1 V.
B-port outputs integrate 25-Ω series resistors to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components; A-port outputs are optimized for higher current drive (64 mA sink) but lack built-in termination. Input thresholds meet standard TTL levels (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and output voltage specs guarantee VOH ≥ 2.5 V (A port, IOH = –24 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (A port, IOL = 48 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V rail tolerances. |
| A-port IOL | 64 mA max - Supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines. |
| B-port IOH/IOL | ±12 mA - Matches MOS/low-power logic interface requirements with controlled edge rates. |
| tPLH / tPHL (A→B) | 1–4 ns - Enables reliable 200+ MHz bus handshaking in synchronous backplane designs. |
| IOZH / IOZL | ±10 µA - Guarantees minimal leakage in 3-state isolation mode, critical for multi-drop bus integrity. |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - Protects inputs against transient overvoltage events per MIL-STD-833. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 67°C/W (PDIP-N) - Allows full-output operation up to 85°C ambient without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2245NG4 is supplied in a 20-pin plastic DIP (N) package, 6.35 mm wide, 25.4 mm long, 4.57 mm height, with 2.54 mm lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables B→A data flow; HIGH enables A→B data flow. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | A-side bidirectional data terminals - connected to local bus or controller side. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains. |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | B-side bidirectional data terminals - connected to peripheral or expansion bus. |
| 19 | OE | Output enable: LOW activates transceiver; HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply input (4.5–5.5 V) - powers internal BiCMOS circuitry and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω B-port series resistors | Eliminates need for external termination resistors, reducing PCB component count and layout complexity for high-speed bus stubs. |
| High-impedance during power sequencing | Automatically isolates buses when VCC is between 0–2.1 V, preventing signal contention during system power-up/down transitions. |
| Latch-up immunity >500 mA | Meets JEDEC JESD-17, enabling safe operation in noisy industrial environments with ground bounce or ESD coupling. |
| EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power, achieving <1 V typical ground bounce (VOLP) at 5 V/25°C. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V logic families without level-shifting circuitry. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245N | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but lacks B-port 25-Ω series resistors; requires external termination. | Suitable where board-level termination is preferred or B-port loading differs significantly. | Select SN74ABT245N only if external resistor placement is acceptable and B-port signal integrity is managed at layout level. |
| SN74LVC245APW | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (24 mA), no integrated B-port resistors, TSSOP-20 package. | Designed for modern low-voltage embedded systems; incompatible with 5 V buses without level translation. | Choose SN74LVC245APW for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing power efficiency over legacy 5 V compatibility. |
Compared with SN74ABT245N and SN74LVC245APW, SN74ABT2245NG4 uniquely delivers integrated 25-Ω B-port termination for 5 V bus systems, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy industrial backplanes without layout revision-while maintaining full 5 V tolerance, high-current drive, and robust power-sequence behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74ABT2245NG4?
The SN74ABT2245NG4 is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial environments including factory automation, motor control cabinets, and outdoor telecom enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This rating applies specifically to the N-package variant and is validated per TI's production test conditions.
Does SN74ABT2245NG4 require external pull-up resistors on OE or DIR pins?
SN74ABT2245NG4 does not require pull-ups on DIR, but OE should be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor when guaranteed high-impedance state above 2.1 V is needed-especially during partial power-up. TI specifies minimum resistor value based on driver sourcing capability; 10 kΩ is commonly used and verified in reference designs for SN74ABT2245NG4.
Can SN74ABT2245NG4 drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
Yes-SN74ABT2245NG4's B-port outputs integrate 25-Ω series resistors, enabling direct connection to 50 Ω PCB traces or cables when paired with proper termination at the far end. This eliminates discrete resistors and improves signal fidelity for lengths up to 20 cm at 100 Mbps, as confirmed in TI's application notes for SN74ABT2245NG4.
Is SN74ABT2245NG4 pin-compatible with SN74ABT245N?
Yes-SN74ABT2245NG4 and SN74ABT245N share identical 20-pin PDIP (N) package dimensions, pinout, and footprint. However, SN74ABT2245NG4 includes integrated 25-Ω B-port resistors while SN74ABT245N does not; substituting one for the other requires verifying whether external termination is already present in the design for SN74ABT2245NG4.
What is the typical ground bounce (VOLP) performance of SN74ABT2245NG4?
SN74ABT2245NG4 exhibits typical output ground bounce (VOLP) < 1 V at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, measured under worst-case switching conditions. This low VOLP-enabled by EPIC-II™ BiCMOS design-reduces noise coupling into adjacent signals and improves system-level noise margin, a key specification validated in TI's characterization report for SN74ABT2245NG4.
