Product details
Overview
SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 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 system interconnects. It features ±32-mA high-drive outputs, bus-hold on all data inputs, Ioff support for hot insertion, and operates over –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 datasheet, SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 pinout, SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 application, or SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 equivalent, this device is selected for robust 5-V logic-level bus isolation, low ground bounce (<1 V), and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD 17 - critical for mixed-voltage board interfaces and hot-pluggable modules.
Technical Context
The SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 implements EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture to reduce dynamic power while maintaining TTL-compatible drive strength. Its DIR and OE control logic enables direction-selectable data flow (A↔B) with simultaneous 3-state isolation when OE is high.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on floating A/B inputs without external resistors, and Ioff protection limits reverse current during partial power-down - both essential for system-level reliability in modular backplane and peripheral interface designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - supports heavy capacitive loads and long trace routing without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.8–3.9 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - enables high-speed bus handshaking up to ~250 MHz effective throughput in synchronous protocols. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 µA at VI = 0.8 V or 2 V - eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on unused data lines, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 92°C/W (DGV package) - defines maximum power dissipation limit under natural convection cooling in compact PCB layouts. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow current during hot-insertion or partial power sequencing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including PLC I/O modules and motor drive controllers. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 uses a 20-pin Thin Very Small-Outline (DGV) package, 4.4 mm × 3.6 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, DIR | Direction Control Input | Low = B→A data transfer; High = A→B transfer - determines real-time bus flow direction without reconfiguration. |
| 2–9, A1–A8 | Data Inputs/Outputs (Port A) | Bidirectional I/O with bus-hold; connect to microcontroller or FPGA data bus segment A. |
| 10, GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 11, VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply for core logic and output stages; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 12–19, B1–B8 | Data Inputs/Outputs (Port B) | Bidirectional I/O with bus-hold; connects to peripheral or memory bus segment B. |
| 20, OE | Output Enable Input | Low = outputs active; High = all A/B pins enter high-impedance state - enables bus arbitration and isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS Process | Reduces dynamic power vs. standard bipolar TTL while retaining high noise immunity and drive capability. |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Guaranteed Ioff and power-up 3-state behavior prevent damage during live board replacement in rack-mounted systems. |
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | Eliminates external biasing components on all 16 data lines - reduces PCB area, assembly cost, and failure points. |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - minimizes switching noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense digital systems. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - ensures robustness against transient overcurrent events in industrial environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Microcontroller-to-Peripheral Bus Isolation |

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 operation (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA); no bus-hold; CMOS process. | Suitable for modern low-voltage systems but incompatible with 5-V buses without level translation. | Select when migrating to 3.3-V domains and external pull resistors are acceptable. |
| 74ABT245N | PDIP-20 package only; identical 5-V specs and pinout; no DGV option; RoHS exemption status differs. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repairs where surface-mount is not feasible. | Choose for manual assembly, breadboarding, or drop-in replacement on existing DIP-based designs. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ABT245N, the SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 uniquely combines 5-V tolerance, integrated bus-hold, hot-insertion safety, and space-saving DGV packaging - making it optimal for industrial-grade surface-mount bus isolation where voltage compatibility and reliability are non-negotiable.

SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data I/Os (A1–A8, B1–B8), maintaining valid logic levels (VIH/VIL) on floating inputs with ±100 µA hold current - eliminating external pull resistors and preventing metastability in unconnected or unterminated bus segments.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SN74ABTH245DGVRE4?
Per the official datasheet, SN74ABTH245DGVRE4 has absolute maximum ratings of: VCC = –0.5 V to +7 V; VI = –0.5 V to +7 V; VO = –0.5 V to +5.5 V; IOL peak = 128 mA; storage temperature = –65°C to +150°C - exceeding these may cause permanent damage.
