Product details
Overview
SN74ABT245BPW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in 5-V digital systems. It features high-drive capability (−32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL), supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across −40°C to 85°C in a 20-pin TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT245BPW datasheet, SN74ABT245BPW pinout, SN74ABT245BPW application, or SN74ABT245BPW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.2 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH), 0.5 ns output skew (tsk(o)), ground-bounce immunity (<1 V VOLP), and compatibility with TTL- and CMOS-level control signals in memory expansion, peripheral interfacing, and bus isolation designs.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-directional 8-bit data routing controlled by DIR and OE inputs: when OE is low, data flows A→B (DIR = H) or B→A (DIR = L); when OE is high, both ports enter high-impedance state. The logic diagram confirms noninverting signal paths with no internal inversion on either bus side.
Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs at VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±100 µA, while power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-Z during supply ramp-up. Absolute maximum ratings include 7-V supply tolerance and −0.5 V to 5.5 V output voltage range under powered-down conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5-V TTL/CMOS rails with ±5% supply tolerance. |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - Delivers robust drive strength for heavy capacitive loads and long trace routing without external buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 0.8 ns to 3.6 ns (typ/max) - Enables sub-4 ns bidirectional propagation critical for high-speed address/data multiplexing. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes during simultaneous switching. |
| Ioff | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - Prevents damaging backflow current during hot-plug or partial-power-down scenarios. |
| tsk(o) | 0.5 ns - Guarantees tight timing alignment across all eight channels, essential for parallel bus integrity. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - Meets industrial-grade ESD resilience without requiring external protection diodes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, exposed thermal pad not present (non-VQFN). Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low global enable controlling 3-state output isolation for both A and B ports. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Input/output port A - Bidirectional data lines connected to source bus (e.g., microcontroller data bus). |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 11 | VCC | 5-V supply input powering internal logic and output stages. |
| 12–19 | B1–B8 | Input/output port B - Bidirectional data lines connected to destination bus (e.g., peripheral or memory bus). |
| 20 | DIR (Direction Control) | Logic-level selector determining data flow direction: H = A→B, L = B→A. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hot-insertion support | Enabled by Ioff and power-up 3-state circuits - eliminates need for sequencing controllers during live board replacement. |
| High-drive outputs | −32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - Drives 50-pF loads at full speed without signal degradation or added gate count. |
| Latch-up immunity | >500 mA per JESD 17 - Withstands transient overcurrent events in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low ground bounce | <1 V VOLP at 5 V - Reduces simultaneous switching noise that could corrupt adjacent analog or clock signals. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed bidirectional switch enabling time-multiplexed access to shared data lanes across independent subsystems. Use Value: Sub-4 ns propagation and 0.5 ns skew ensure precise timing alignment across all eight channels during high-frequency pattern generation. |
Use Scenario: Isolating functional test instrumentation from production boards during in-circuit programming or debug sessions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled bus disconnect device activated only during active test cycles, maintaining high-Z state otherwise. Use Value: Ioff protection prevents backfeed damage when target board is unpowered, supporting safe "live" probe attachment and removal. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APW | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (−24/24 mA), 3.5 ns max tPLH, no Ioff. | Not suitable for 5-V systems or hot-swap; requires level-shifting if interfacing with 5-V logic. | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3-V domains and lower power consumption is prioritized over drive strength. |
| SN74AHCT245PW | 5-V tolerant inputs, TTL-compatible thresholds, 8 mA drive (−8/8 mA), 10 ns max tPLH, no Ioff. | Limited drive capability restricts use with >30 pF loads; lacks hot-insertion protection. | Choose for cost-sensitive 5-V designs where load capacitance is low and sequencing control is available. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APW and SN74AHCT245PW, the SN74ABT245BPW delivers superior 5-V drive strength, verified hot-swap capability, and tighter timing-making it the preferred choice for industrial backplanes, memory interfaces, and systems requiring robust bus isolation without external support circuitry.

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on SN74ABT245BPW?
Tie OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. Minimum resistance is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; TI recommends ≥10 kΩ for standard 5-V CMOS drivers, balancing noise immunity and current draw. This configuration guarantees safe startup behavior in systems lacking sequenced enable control.
Does SN74ABT245BPW support mixed-voltage operation between A and B ports?
No. SN74ABT245BPW is a 5-V-only device with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. Both A and B ports operate at the same VCC-referenced logic levels; it does not provide level translation. Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, but outputs swing rail-to-rail relative to VCC, making it unsuitable for true 3.3-V ↔ 5-V translation without external circuitry.
How does the Ioff feature protect SN74ABT245BPW during hot insertion?
The Ioff circuitry disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting current flow through the device to ±100 µA even if A or B pins are driven externally. This prevents damaging back-current from live backplane traces into an unpowered board, satisfying hot-swap requirements without external FETs or sequencing logic.
Can SN74ABT245BPW be used in place of SN74ABT245BDW in the same PCB layout?
No. SN74ABT245BPW (TSSOP-20, 4.4 × 6.5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) and SN74ABT245BDW (SOIC-20, 7.5 × 12.8 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) have incompatible footprints, land patterns, and thermal profiles. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign; mechanical dimensions and solder mask openings differ significantly per TI package drawings PW0020A and DW0020A.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT245BPW can drive while maintaining specified timing?
SN74ABT245BPW switching characteristics (tPLH/tPHL, tPZL/tPHZ) are characterized at CL = 50 pF. Driving loads beyond this increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may exceed 3.6 ns max tPLH. For reliable sub-4 ns performance, keep total trace + load capacitance ≤50 pF; heavier loads require derating or buffer staging.
