Product details
Overview
SN74AHC245QPWRG4 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 ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, achieves propagation delays as low as 4 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and features direction-control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) inputs for flexible bus isolation in automotive infotainment backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC245QPWRG4 datasheet, SN74AHC245QPWRG4 pinout, SN74AHC245QPWRG4 application, or SN74AHC245QPWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 3-state output timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 9.2 ns at 5 V), latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD 17), and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-directional 8-bit data routing via a single DIR input that selects A→B or B→A flow, while OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance state-enabling true bus isolation without external logic. Its CMOS AHC logic family ensures rail-to-rail voltage translation across the full 2–5.5 V supply range.
Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC min, VIL = 0.3×VCC max), and output drive strength is specified at ±4 mA (3.3 V) and ±8 mA (5 V), supporting TTL- and CMOS-compatible loads. All unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating-node instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V peripheral) |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at 5 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with <8.5 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) |
| Propagation Delay | 4 ns (min) / 6.5 ns (max) at 5 V, 15 pF - supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in clean signal environments |
| 3-State Enable/Disable | tPZH/tPLZ = 5.6–9.2 ns at 5 V - ensures fast, glitch-free bus release during mode switching |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - meets automotive robustness requirements for transient overcurrent events |

| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 11 (VCC) | Power supply | 2–5.5 V supply for core logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | Bus B I/O terminals | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to peripheral or sensor-side bus segment |
| 20 (OE) | Output enable input | Low = active transceiver; High = all A/B pins in high-Z - enables dynamic bus arbitration |

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 | Lower drive (±24 mA), wider VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), higher ICC (10 µA typ) | Better for ultra-low-voltage IoT nodes; less suitable for high-noise automotive environments | Choose when operating below 2 V or requiring lower static power at cost of reduced latch-up margin |
| MC74VHC245DT | Same pinout, but non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q100 certification; 125°C max temp only | Acceptable for commercial industrial use, not qualified for automotive safety-critical functions | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AHC245QPWRG4, SN74LVC245APWR offers broader voltage flexibility but weaker latch-up immunity, while MC74VHC245DT matches pinout and timing but lacks automotive qualification-making SN74AHC245QPWRG4 the sole choice for AEC-Q100–mandated vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHC245QPWRG4?
The SN74AHC245QPWRG4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. This rating is verified per TI's production test flow and applies to the TSSOP-20 (PW) package variant shipped as SN74AHC245QPWRG4.
Does SN74AHC245QPWRG4 support 3.3 V-only operation?
Yes, SN74AHC245QPWRG4 fully supports 3.3 V operation: VIH is 2.1 V min and VIL is 0.9 V max at VCC = 3 V, and output drive is ±4 mA - compatible with standard 3.3 V LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families. Its 2–5.5 V supply range allows seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems without level shifters.
How should OE be handled during power-up to ensure high-impedance state?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, OE must be held high (inactive) via a pullup resistor to VCC. TI specifies the minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability - typically ≥10 kΩ for most applications - to prevent unintended bus contention before system initialization completes.
Is SN74AHC245QPWRG4 pin-compatible with SN74AHC245QPWR?
Yes, SN74AHC245QPWRG4 is identical in pinout, package (TSSOP-20), and electrical specifications to SN74AHC245QPWR - the "G4" suffix denotes green/RoHS-compliant packaging and tape-and-reel formatting per TI's standard ordering convention, with no functional or mechanical differences affecting PCB layout or schematic design.
What is the latch-up performance specification for SN74AHC245QPWRG4?
SN74AHC245QPWRG4 exceeds 250 mA latch-up immunity per JESD 17, verified through standardized stress testing. This specification ensures robustness against transient current surges in automotive and industrial settings, directly supporting reliability requirements for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and long-term field operation.
