Product details
Overview
SN74ABT245BPWG4 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 TTL systems. It features high-drive capability (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across −40°C to 85°C. Used in industrial backplane interfaces and legacy system upgrades requiring robust level-shifting and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT245BPWG4 datasheet, SN74ABT245BPWG4 pinout, SN74ABT245BPWG4 application, or SN74ABT245BPWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, direction-control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) logic interface, ground-bounce performance (<1 V VOLP), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and compatibility with 5-V CMOS/TTL logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by DIR (data flow direction) and OE (output enable/disable). Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot insertion or partial power-down. The power-up 3-state feature ensures outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes, eliminating bus contention at power-on.
Electrical behavior is defined for VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, with guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.0 V at IOH = −32 mA and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA. Switching performance includes tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns (A↔B), tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6.2 ns (OE→output), and tsk(o) ≤ 0.5 ns skew - all measured at CL = 50 pF and TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS supply rails without regulation overhead |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple inputs) without signal degradation |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes during switching |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD17 - withstands transient overcurrent events without destructive failure |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤3.9 ns (A↔B, CL = 50 pF) - supports >200 MHz data rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded bus topologies |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - survives handling and board-level ESD events without external protection diodes |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - blocks damaging reverse current during live insertion or mixed-voltage hot-swap |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present. RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 Inputs/Outputs | Port A bidirectional data lines - connect to source bus; direction determined by DIR state |
| 9 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B - synchronous with OE, no internal delay |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize VOLP and noise coupling |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B1–B8 Inputs/Outputs | Port B bidirectional data lines - connect to destination bus; electrically identical to A-side |
| 19 | OE | Output enable: LOW = active transceiver, HIGH = 3-state isolation - overrides DIR when disabled |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff + power-up 3-state eliminates need for external sequencing or isolation logic during live board replacement |
| High-drive outputs | 64-mA sink capability enables direct drive of 10+ TTL inputs or 50-Ω transmission lines without buffers |
| Low ground bounce | <1 V VOLP reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN), critical for mixed-signal or precision analog co-location |
| Robust ESD/latch-up | 2000-V HBM and >500-mA latch-up rating allow use in unshielded industrial enclosures without derating |
| Wide temperature range | −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in factory automation, transportation, and outdoor infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (−24/24 mA), no Ioff, higher speed (tPD ≈ 2.8 ns) | Suitable for 3.3-V-only systems; lacks hot-insertion capability and 5-V tolerance | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and prioritizing speed over robustness or mixed-voltage compatibility |
| SN74AHCT245PW | 5-V tolerant inputs, same 5-V VCC range, lower drive (−8/8 mA), no Ioff, higher VOL (≤0.8 V) | Compatible with 5-V logic but cannot drive heavy loads or survive hot-insertion events | Select for cost-sensitive 5-V designs where load capacitance is <20 pF and hot-swap is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and SN74AHCT245PW, the SN74ABT245BPWG4 uniquely delivers 5-V operation with hot-insertion safety, 64-mA sink strength, and sub-1-V ground bounce - making it irreplaceable in industrial backplanes and legacy upgrade paths demanding reliability under dynamic power conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating temperature for SN74ABT245BPWG4?
The SN74ABT245BPWG4 is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and applies to all electrical specifications in the datasheet. Operation beyond +85°C may cause parametric shift or accelerated wear; thermal derating is not supported.
Does SN74ABT245BPWG4 support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SN74ABT245BPWG4 supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V (blocking reverse current), and power-up 3-state holds outputs high-impedance until VCC reaches valid logic levels. Both functions are inherent to the silicon design and require no external components.
What is the purpose of the DIR and OE pins on SN74ABT245BPWG4?
DIR controls data direction: LOW enables B→A transfer, HIGH enables A→B transfer. OE enables/disables all outputs: LOW activates the transceiver, HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state regardless of DIR. OE has priority over DIR and is essential for bus isolation.
Can SN74ABT245BPWG4 interface between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
No, SN74ABT245BPWG4 is a 5-V-only device (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). It accepts 3.3-V logic-high signals but cannot safely drive 3.3-V inputs due to VOH ≥ 2.0 V (exceeding 3.3-V VIH max); level-shifting circuitry is required for bidirectional 3.3/5-V interfacing.
What PCB layout considerations are critical for SN74ABT245BPWG4 stability?
Place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND within 5 mm of pins 20 and 10. Use short, low-inductance traces for DIR and OE to minimize noise-induced glitches. Route A/B bus lines differentially where possible, and avoid routing sensitive analog traces parallel to the transceiver's GND path to limit VOLP coupling.
