Product details
Overview
SN74AC245IDWREP from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver IC designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between parallel buses in industrial and embedded systems. It operates from 2 V to 6 V, supports bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE pins, delivers ≤7 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and features ±24 mA output drive capability with high-impedance isolation when disabled.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AC245IDWREP datasheet, SN74AC245IDWREP pinout, SN74AC245IDWREP application, or SN74AC245IDWREP equivalent, this page provides verified functional behavior, SOIC-20 package layout, voltage-tolerant inputs up to 6 V, guaranteed timing across −40°C to 85°C, and direct alternatives for bus interface redesigns requiring enhanced reliability and extended temperature support.
Technical Context
The SN74AC245IDWREP implements TTL-compatible AC logic with dual-rail input tolerance - inputs accept voltages up to 6 V independent of VCC, enabling mixed-voltage bus interfacing. Its direction control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) signals operate asynchronously, eliminating need for clock synchronization during bus handshaking.
Internal circuitry ensures power-up/power-down high-impedance state when OE is tied to VCC via external pullup; the device meets JEDEC JESD22-A110 (HAST), JESD22-A104 (temp cycle), and JESD22-A114 (autoclave) for extended reliability in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems without level shifters |
| Max tpd @ 5 V | 7 ns - enables high-speed data transfer in real-time control loops and memory-mapped I/O |
| IOL / IOH | ±24 mA @ VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 6 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals or legacy buses |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified per enhanced DMS pedigree for industrial automation and avionics applications |
| Package Thermal Impedance | θJA = 58°C/W - supports continuous operation at full drive strength in compact PCB layouts |
| IOZ Leakage | ±5 µA max @ VCC = 5.5 V - ensures minimal bus leakage during isolation mode, critical for low-power sleep states |
Pinout & Package
SN74AC245IDWREP uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.4–7.6 mm body width, 12.6–13.0 mm length, and maximum height of 2.65 mm. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Low = A→B data flow; High = B→A data flow - determines physical signal path without clocking |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to first bus segment; tolerate VI up to 6 V |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Power rail for internal logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | Port B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to second bus segment; electrically identical to A-side |
| 20 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: Low = enabled transceiver; High = high-Z isolation - requires pullup for safe power sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; no 6 V input tolerance | Suitable for modern low-voltage digital systems but incompatible with 5 V legacy buses | Select when full 5 V bus compatibility is unnecessary and power efficiency below 2 V is prioritized |
| SN74AC245N | Same logic and timing specs, but commercial-grade (0°C to 70°C) and non-EP packaging | Lacks enhanced reliability testing, DMS support, and extended temperature range | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-critical consumer applications where long-term supply stability is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74AC245N, the SN74AC245IDWREP uniquely combines 2–6 V operation, 6 V-tolerant inputs, −40°C to 85°C qualification, and JEDEC-verified reliability - making it the sole option for industrial backplanes and military sensor hubs requiring mixed-voltage interoperability and field longevity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74AC245IDWREP can safely accept?
The SN74AC245IDWREP accepts input voltages up to 6 V regardless of VCC level - a key feature enabling direct interfacing with 5 V peripherals on 3.3 V systems without external level-shifting circuitry. This specification is guaranteed across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range and is validated per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet SCAS780.
Does the SN74AC245IDWREP require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE must be tied to VCC through an external pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source, as specified in the functional description section of the SN74AC245IDWREP datasheet. Failure to implement this may cause bus contention or undefined logic states at startup.
Is the SN74AC245IDWREP pin-compatible with the standard SN74AC245N?
Yes - the SN74AC245IDWREP shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and SOIC-20 (DW) package dimensions with the commercial SN74AC245N. However, the IDWREP variant adds enhanced reliability testing, extended temperature qualification, and controlled baseline manufacturing - making it a drop-in replacement where robustness and long-term supply are required.
What is the typical power dissipation capacitance of the SN74AC245IDWREP?
The SN74AC245IDWREP has a typical power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) of 45 pF per transceiver channel at VCC = 5 V, f = 1 MHz, and CL = 50 pF. This value directly impacts dynamic power consumption in high-frequency bus applications and is measured under standardized load conditions defined in the switching characteristics section of the SN74AC245IDWREP datasheet.
Can the SN74AC245IDWREP be used in automotive applications?
The SN74AC245IDWREP is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. For automotive use, TI offers the pin-compatible SN74AC245-Q1, which undergoes full AEC-Q100 stress testing and is qualified for operation from −40°C to +125°C. The SN74AC245IDWREP remains suitable for non-safety automotive test equipment and aftermarket diagnostics where extended temperature support is needed but automotive qualification is not mandated.
