Product details
Overview
SN74AHC245QDWR from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, and features direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls for flexible bus isolation in automotive infotainment backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC245QDWR datasheet, SN74AHC245QDWR pinout, SN74AHC245QDWR application, or SN74AHC245QDWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, SOIC-20 package thermal performance (θJA = 58°C/W), propagation delay ≤6.5 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD 17.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-bus bidirectional communication using a single DIR input to select data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low OE input to place all outputs in high-impedance state. Its CMOS AHC logic family ensures rail-to-rail output swing and low static current (ICC ≤ 40 µA).
Input thresholds scale with VCC: VIH = 3.85 V (min) and VIL = 1.65 V (max) at 5.5 V supply; noise margins exceed 0.9 V under dynamic conditions. The SOIC-20 package supports surface-mount reflow per JEDEC Level-1 (260°C peak, unlimited floor life).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - Enables interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤6.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in compact timing budgets. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL, VCC = 5 V) - Sustains signal integrity driving 15-pF loads across PCB traces and multiple inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - Qualified for under-hood and dashboard electronics per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 10 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - Enables fast bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation in modular systems. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - Ensures robustness against transient ground bounce and ESD-induced parasitic conduction. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHC245QDWR uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm body, and 2.65 mm max height. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control: Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow - enables single-wire bus arbitration. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Bus A I/O terminals - connect to microcontroller or ASIC data port; tolerate 5.5 V inputs regardless of VCC. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 11 | VCC | Power supply - bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 12–19 | B1–B8 | Bus B I/O terminals - interface to peripheral modules; share same voltage tolerance and drive strength as A-side. |
| 20 | OE | Active-low output enable - tie to VCC via pullup resistor during power-up to prevent bus contention. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified with customer-specific configuration control - meets OEM change management and traceability mandates. |
| Wide supply range | 2 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate 3.3 V/5 V regulators in mixed-voltage systems. |
| High noise immunity | Dynamic VIH(D) = 3.5 V and VIL(D) = 1.5 V at 5 V supply - rejects >1 V of coupled noise on control lines. |
| Low power consumption | ICC ≤ 40 µA max at 5.5 V - reduces quiescent current in always-on vehicle networks. |
| Robust ESD protection | ±20 mA clamp current on I/O pins - withstands contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without external TVS. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC min (1.65 V), higher speed (tPD ≤ 5.1 ns @ 3.3 V), but reduced latch-up immunity (≥100 mA) | Better suited for 1.8 V/3.3 V-only systems; not recommended for mixed 2 V–5.5 V environments requiring wide supply tolerance | Select when prioritizing speed and low-voltage compatibility over latch-up robustness and absolute max ratings. |
| MC74VHC245DTG | Same pinout, identical function, but non-automotive grade (–40°C to 85°C), no AEC-Q100 certification | Acceptable for commercial industrial equipment; unsuitable for automotive production due to missing PPAP documentation and qualification testing | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where extended temperature and automotive compliance are unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74AHC245QDWR, SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 offers faster switching at lower voltages but sacrifices latch-up margin and supply flexibility, while MC74VHC245DTG provides functional equivalence without automotive qualification-making SN74AHC245QDWR the sole choice for AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring 2 V–5.5 V operation and >250 mA latch-up immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHC245QDWR?
The SN74AHC245QDWR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. This rating is validated across the full 2 V to 5.5 V supply range and confirmed in the official TI datasheet SGDS018.
Does SN74AHC245QDWR support 3.3 V logic levels?
Yes, SN74AHC245QDWR fully supports 3.3 V operation: it meets all recommended operating conditions at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, including VIH = 2.1 V (min), VIL = 0.9 V (max), tPD ≤ 8.4 ns, and IOH/IOL = ±4 mA. Its wide VCC range (2–5.5 V) ensures seamless interoperability with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
How should the OE pin be handled during power-up for SN74AHC245QDWR?
To ensure high-impedance state during power-up, OE of SN74AHC245QDWR must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI specifies the minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes.
Is SN74AHC245QDWR pin-compatible with SN74AHC245QPWR?
No - SN74AHC245QDWR (SOIC-20, DW package) and SN74AHC245QPWR (TSSOP-20, PW package) share identical pin functions and numbering but differ in physical dimensions, thermal characteristics (θJA = 58°C/W vs. 83°C/W), and board layout requirements. They are functionally equivalent but not mechanically interchangeable without PCB redesign.
What is the latch-up performance specification for SN74AHC245QDWR?
SN74AHC245QDWR exceeds 250 mA latch-up immunity per JESD 17, verified under worst-case conditions. This specification is explicitly stated in the "Q Devices Meet Automotive Performance Requirements" section of the SGDS018 datasheet and applies to the exact SN74AHC245QDWR part number as shipped in SOIC-DW packaging.
