Product details
Overview
SN74ABT245BDBRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in industrial control and embedded communication systems. It features high-drive outputs (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across −40°C to +85°C with 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT245BDBRG4 datasheet, SN74ABT245BDBRG4 pinout, SN74ABT245BDBRG4 application, or SN74ABT245BDBRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-control logic behavior, output isolation during power sequencing, ground-bounce performance (<1 V VOLP), and SSOP-20 package compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL-level bus architectures.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output-enable) inputs. When OE is low, data flows either A→B (DIR = high) or B→A (DIR = low); when OE is high, all outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR. The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs at VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot insertion.
Propagation delays are tightly specified: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns (max), tPZL/tPZH ≤ 6.2 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF. Input hysteresis (Vhys = 100 mV) improves noise immunity on control lines, while latch-up performance exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS logic rails without level-shifting. |
| High-Level Output Current | −32 mA IOH - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without signal degradation. |
| Low-Level Output Current | 64 mA IOL - supports robust sink capability for pull-down-dominated bus topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤3.9 ns max (tPHL/tPLH) - enables reliable operation in high-speed 5-V digital systems up to ~200 MHz effective data rate. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <1 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - minimizes switching noise-induced logic errors during simultaneous output transitions. |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff and power-up 3-state - prevents damaging current flow and bus contention during live board insertion or removal. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade environmental stress without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT245BDBRG4 uses a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, 7.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, and 2.0 mm max height per JEDEC MO-150. Pin 1 index is marked by a beveled corner or dot; package is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 inputs/outputs | Port A bidirectional data terminals - connect to upstream bus segment; direction determined by DIR input. |
| 9 | DIR | Direction-control input - high enables A→B transfer; low enables B→A transfer. |
| 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | B1–B8 inputs/outputs | Port B bidirectional data terminals - connect to downstream bus segment; function mirrors A port under DIR control. |
| 18 | OE | Output-enable active-low input - high forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| 19 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling and ground bounce. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required adjacent to pin for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | −32 mA source / 64 mA sink capability - eliminates need for external buffer stages in dense 5-V bus designs. |
| Hot-Insertion Ready | Ioff ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed damage when inserted into powered-backplane systems. |
| Power-Up 3-State | Outputs remain high-Z during VCC ramp-up - avoids bus conflicts before system initialization completes. |
| Robust ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM per JESD22 - withstands handling and board assembly without additional protection circuitry. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD17 - survives transient overcurrent events without destructive latch-up. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245BDWR | SOIC-20 package (7.5 mm × 5.3 mm), higher thermal resistance (θJA = 58°C/W vs. 70°C/W for DB), identical electrical specs. | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOIC footprints; less compact than SSOP but easier hand-soldering. | Select SN74ABT245BDWR if board space permits larger package and manual assembly is required. |
| SN74LVC245A | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (−24 mA/24 mA), no Ioff or hot-insertion support, smaller 20-pin TSSOP. | Designed for modern low-voltage systems; lacks robustness for mixed-voltage or hot-swap environments. | Choose SN74LVC245A only for cost-sensitive 3.3-V-only designs where hot insertion and 5-V tolerance are unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74ABT245BDWR and SN74LVC245A, SN74ABT245BDBRG4 uniquely combines 5-V operation, hot-insertion readiness, and SSOP-20 compactness-making it optimal for industrial upgrades requiring backward-compatible 5-V signaling in constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74ABT245BDBRG4?
The SN74ABT245BDBRG4 is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation controllers and automotive under-dash modules, without requiring thermal derating or forced cooling.
Does SN74ABT245BDBRG4 support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SN74ABT245BDBRG4 supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V (limiting current to ±100 µA), and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance during VCC ramp-up. These ensure no bus contention or backfeed current occurs when inserting the device into a live 5-V system.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SN74ABT245BDBRG4 supply voltage and output current?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SN74ABT245BDBRG4 is −0.5 V to 7 V. Maximum output current is 128 mA per pin in the low state (IOL), and −32 mA in the high state (IOH) under recommended operating conditions. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage per JEDEC stress guidelines.
How does the DIR input control data flow direction in SN74ABT245BDBRG4?
In SN74ABT245BDBRG4, the DIR input determines bidirectional path direction when OE is low: DIR = high enables data transfer from A bus to B bus; DIR = low enables transfer from B bus to A bus. When OE is high, both ports are isolated regardless of DIR state-ensuring deterministic bus separation.
Is SN74ABT245BDBRG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74ABT245B family?
Yes, all SN74ABT245B variants-including SN74ABT245BDBRG4 (SSOP-20), SN74ABT245BDWR (SOIC-20), and SN74ABT245BPWR (TSSOP-20)-share identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior. Only mechanical dimensions and thermal performance differ, allowing direct PCB footprint substitution where package height and layout allow.
