Product details
Overview
SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in 2-V to 5.5-V systems. It features direction control (DIR), output-enable (OE), ±8-mA drive at 5 V, 5.5-ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17 - used in automotive infotainment backplane isolation and ECU inter-bus communication.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 datasheet, SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 pinout, SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 application, or SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, SOIC-20 package thermal resistance (θJA = 58°C/W), 3-state output isolation timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 9.2 ns at 5 V), and compatibility with 2.0-V to 5.5-V mixed-voltage bus interfacing.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-rail bidirectional data routing using a single DIR input to select A→B or B→A flow, while OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance state - enabling true bus isolation without external logic. Its AHC logic family ensures CMOS-level noise immunity, rail-to-rail output swing, and low static current (ICC ≤ 40 µA).
Switching performance is load-dependent: propagation delays range from 4 ns (min) to 6.5 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V and CL = 15 pF, while enable/disable times (tPZH/tPHZ) are specified down to 5.6 ns. Input transition rate limits (20 ns/V at 5 V) ensure robust operation with slow-edge microcontroller signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3-V MCU to 5-V peripheral bus) |
| IOH/IOL | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - drives standard TTL loads and short PCB traces without buffering |
| tPLH/tPHL | 4–6.5 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables >100-MHz burst data handshaking in synchronous protocols |
| tPZH/tPHZ | 5.6–9.2 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - guarantees sub-10-ns bus release for time-critical arbitration |
| VIH/VIL | 3.85 V / 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V - provides 0.65-V noise margin against VCC/2 threshold drift |
| Latch-up | >250 mA per JESD 17 - withstands transient ground bounce and supply coupling in automotive harnesses |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and transmission-control module environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27-mm pitch, 12.6–13.0 mm body length, and 7.4–7.6 mm width. Maximum height is 2.65 mm. Pin 1 identifier is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow - determines real-time bus polarity without reset |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A I/O terminals | Bi-directional data ports tied to one system bus; internally isolated when OE = High |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic - must be low-inductance connection in automotive layouts |
| 11 (VCC) | Power supply | 2-V to 5.5-V core and I/O rail - decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of this pin |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | Bus B I/O terminals | Bi-directional data ports tied to second system bus; functionally identical to A-side but electrically isolated |
| 20 (OE) | Output-enable input | Active-Low: Low = transceiver enabled; High = all A/B pins in high-Z - critical for hot-swap and power sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Meets Grade 1 automotive reliability requirements including temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD (HBM ≥ 2 kV) |
| 3-State Output Isolation | Outputs achieve <±2.5 µA leakage (IOZ) when OE = High - prevents bus contention during sleep mode |
| Wide Supply Range | Operates from 2 V to 5.5 V without level-shifting - simplifies integration across legacy and modern voltage domains |
| High Noise Immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., 3.85 V/1.65 V at 5.5 V) - rejects coupled noise in noisy engine compartments |
| Controlled Edge Rates | Input transition limit of 20 ns/V at 5 V - suppresses crosstalk and EMI in dense PCB routing |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | Lower drive (±24 mA), 1.65–5.5-V VCC, TSSOP-20 only | Better suited for high-speed 3.3-V-only systems; lacks SOIC option and higher latch-up rating | Select when higher output current and TSSOP footprint are prioritized over automotive SOIC compatibility |
| MC74VHC245DTG | Non-automotive grade, –40°C to +85°C, same SOIC-20 pinout | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; lower latch-up rating (100 mA); intended for industrial/commercial use only | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where full automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1, SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 offers greater drive strength but requires TSSOP assembly and lacks SOIC availability, while MC74VHC245DTG matches the pinout and package but omits automotive qualification, latch-up robustness, and extended temperature support.

FAQ
What is the AEC-Q100 qualification status of SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1?
SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), with test reports covering HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD (HBM ≥ 2 kV). This qualification is documented in TI's official automotive product change notices and applies specifically to the DW package variant with G4Q1 suffix, confirming suitability for under-hood and transmission-control applications.
Can SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?
Yes, SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 is fully specified down to 2.0 V VCC, with guaranteed VIH = 1.5 V and VIL = 0.5 V at that voltage, and functional tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns (CL = 15 pF). Its AHC logic family maintains rail-to-rail output swing and noise margins even at minimum VCC, making it suitable for battery-backed or low-power automotive subsystems.
How should OE be handled during power-up to ensure high-impedance state?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs at power-up, OE of SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 must be held High via a pullup resistor to VCC. TI specifies minimum resistor value based on driver sink capability; for typical use, a 10-kΩ resistor suffices. Floating OE is prohibited - it may cause bus contention or excessive ICC until stable logic levels are established.
Does SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 support hot insertion into a live bus?
SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 supports hot insertion only when OE is held High (outputs disabled) prior to connection. Its absolute maximum ratings allow VI up to 7 V and clamp current ±20 mA, but sustained bus contention during insertion can exceed IO limits. For true hot-swap, external current-limiting or dedicated hot-swap controllers are recommended alongside proper OE sequencing.
What is the thermal resistance θJA for SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 in its SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74AHC245QDWRG4Q1 in the SOIC (DW) package is 58°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC conditions (2S2P layout, 1-inch² copper pad). This value assumes proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias; actual system θJA may vary by ±15% depending on board stack-up and airflow.
