Product details
Overview
SN74ABT245BRGYR 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 and embedded systems. It features high-drive capability (−32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL), hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates over −40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT245BRGYR datasheet, SN74ABT245BRGYR pinout, SN74ABT245BRGYR application, or SN74ABT245BRGYR equivalent, key selection criteria include its VQFN-20 (RGY) package thermal performance (θJA = 37°C/W), 3.5 × 4.5 mm footprint, and compatibility with 5-V TTL-level bus isolation in mixed-voltage interface designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT245BRGYR implements dual-directional 8-bit data flow controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its logic diagram confirms noninverting signal path with independent 3-state control per bus side, enabling true bidirectional isolation when OE is high.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, and power-up 3-state logic that holds outputs high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - both critical for hot-swap and live-backplane applications in telecom and server boards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across noisy 5-V rail tolerances in industrial PLCs. |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple inputs) without signal degradation. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1 ns to 3.9 ns - supports >200 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed control interconnects. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1 V at 5 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signals during simultaneous switching. |
| θJA | 37°C/W - enables higher sustained power dissipation in compact VQFN layout vs. SOIC or TSSOP alternatives. |
| Ioff | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 - prevents damaging current flow during partial-power states in modular backplanes. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level ESD immunity in field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74ABT245BRGYR is housed in a 20-pin VQFN package (RGY) with 0.5-mm pitch, 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and mechanical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-side data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional I/O ports connected to A bus; direction determined by DIR state. |
| 9 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: low enables transceiver, high forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state. |
| 10 | DIR (Direction Control) | High routes A→B; low routes B→A - defines data flow direction independently of OE. |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B-side data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional I/O ports connected to B bus; synchronized with DIR and OE logic. |
| 19 | VCC | 5-V supply input - requires local 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 20 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to solid ground plane beneath thermal pad. |
| 21 (exposed pad) | Thermal / Ground | Electrically tied to GND internally; must be soldered to PCB thermal pad for θJA = 37°C/W performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hot-insertion support | Enabled by Ioff and power-up 3-state - eliminates need for external sequencing or isolation logic in modular systems. |
| High-drive outputs | −32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - reduces need for buffer stages when driving ≥10 TTL loads or 50-pF trace capacitance. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 1 V - maintains signal integrity in dense layouts where simultaneous switching noise could corrupt adjacent analog or clock lines. |
| Latch-up immunity | >500 mA per JESD 17 - ensures reliability in harsh environments with voltage transients or ESD events. |
| VQFN thermal efficiency | θJA = 37°C/W - allows 2× higher continuous power dissipation than SOIC-DW (58°C/W) in same board area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245BDWR | SOIC-20 package; θJA = 58°C/W; no exposed thermal pad; larger footprint (7.5 × 12.8 mm). | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where VQFN reflow is unavailable. | Choose when manual assembly, lower-cost PCB fabrication, or compatibility with existing SOIC footprints is prioritized over thermal density. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (−24 mA / 24 mA); higher propagation delay (tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns). | Targeted for modern low-voltage mixed-signal systems; not interoperable with 5-V TTL buses. | Choose only for new 3.3-V designs requiring lower power and smaller size - not a drop-in replacement for SN74ABT245BRGYR. |
Compared with SN74ABT245BDWR, the SN74ABT245BRGYR delivers 36% better thermal resistance and 40% smaller board area; versus SN74LVC245APWR, it provides 5-V TTL compatibility and 2.7× higher sink current - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial bus architectures.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT245BRGYR to ensure reliable 3-state behavior?
TI specifies tying OE to VCC via a pullup resistor (value determined by driver sink capability) to guarantee high-impedance state during power ramp. The SN74ABT245BRGYR's built-in power-up 3-state circuitry automatically holds outputs disabled until VCC exceeds 2.1 V, preventing bus conflicts - no external sequencing required.
Can SN74ABT245BRGYR interface between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
No - the SN74ABT245BRGYR is strictly a 5-V device (4.5–5.5 V supply) with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). It cannot safely accept 3.3-V inputs nor drive 3.3-V receivers without level-shifting circuitry due to VI absolute maximum rating of −0.5 V to 7 V and lack of mixed-voltage I/O architecture.
How does the exposed thermal pad on SN74ABT245BRGYR impact PCB layout and thermal performance?
The exposed pad (Pin 21) on SN74ABT245BRGYR must be soldered to a dedicated PCB thermal pad connected to internal ground planes. Per TI SLUA271, this achieves θJA = 37°C/W; omitting the pad or using insufficient vias increases junction temperature by >25°C at 100 mW dissipation - risking timing violations or latch-up in continuous operation.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT245BRGYR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
TI characterizes switching parameters at CL = 50 pF. While the SN74ABT245BRGYR's 64-mA IOL supports heavier loads, propagation delays increase linearly with capacitance: tPHL rises ~0.3 ns per 10 pF beyond 50 pF. For designs exceeding 100 pF (e.g., long traces or fanout >10), empirical validation is required - the datasheet does not guarantee timing above CL = 50 pF.
Is SN74ABT245BRGYR suitable for use in safety-critical automotive applications?
The standard SN74ABT245BRGYR is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the enhanced product variant SN74ABT245B-EP (with extended temperature range and screening for defense/aerospace/medical), but no AEC-Q200-certified version exists. Customers requiring ASIL-B/C compliance must perform full qualification per ISO 26262 or select alternative AEC-Q200-qualified transceivers.
