Product details
Overview
SN74ALS645ADB from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal bus transceiver IC designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses. It features direction control (DIR) and output enable (G) inputs, supports ±24 mA output drive, operates at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, and delivers propagation delays as low as 3 ns with 50 pF load-used in legacy TTL-based system interconnects and backplane data routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS645ADB datasheet, SN74ALS645ADB pinout, SN74ALS645ADB application, or SN74ALS645ADB equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing, 3-STATE output compatibility with ALS logic families, DC drive capability, thermal derating in SOIC-20 packages, and legacy industrial control board integration requirements.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS645ADB implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input and a common output enable (G). Its PNP-input structure reduces input loading, and switching performance is guaranteed across 0°C to +70°C and full VCC range (4.5–5.5 V).
All I/O ports support true 3-STATE outputs with IOH = −15 mA and IOL = 24 mA, and propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL) are specified at CL = 50 pF with R1 = R2 = 500 Ω, enabling reliable timing in synchronous and asynchronous bus architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/ALS supply rails and margin for ripple or drop. |
| IOL / IOH | 24 mA / −15 mA - Supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads without external buffers in legacy systems. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 3 ns to 10 ns - Enables high-speed bus handshaking in 8-bit microprocessor peripheral interfaces. |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - Matches ALS family input thresholds for noise-immune level translation between compatible logic families. |
| ICC (Outputs HIGH) | 30–45 mA - Defines static power budget per device in dense backplane or motherboard bus driver arrays. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - Specifies commercial-grade temperature envelope for non-automotive industrial control applications. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS645ADB is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, JEDEC MS-013 compliant, 0.300-inch body width, surface-mountable with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output Port A | 8-bit bidirectional data terminal connected to first bus segment; 3-STATE when G = HIGH. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output Port B | 8-bit bidirectional data terminal connected to second bus segment; direction determined by DIR. |
| G | Output Enable | Active-LOW control: G = LOW enables transceiver; G = HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state. |
| DIR | Direction Control | When G = LOW, DIR = LOW routes B→A; DIR = HIGH routes A→B - no internal latching. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V nominal supply connection; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per ALS design guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance plane for signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ALS Schottky TTL Process | Enables higher speed and lower power than standard TTL while maintaining pin-and-function compatibility with 74LS/74ALS families. |
| PNP Input Structure | Reduces input current loading (IIH ≤ 20 µA, IIL ≥ −100 µA), easing fanout constraints on upstream drivers. |
| Guaranteed Switching at Full Range | Specified timing and DC parameters validated across 0°C to +70°C and 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates derating calculations for commercial designs. |
| 50 pF Load Timing Spec | Propagation and enable/disable delays tested under standardized capacitive load - enables accurate timing margin analysis in PCB trace environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS645N | Slower propagation (15–25 ns), lower drive (IOL = 20 mA), higher ICC (55–75 mA); LS-family process. | Compatible in static 5 V systems but unsuitable for timing-critical paths requiring <10 ns delay. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and power targets; verify timing slack in critical paths. |
| SN74F645N | Faster propagation (2.5–8 ns), higher drive (IOL = 32 mA), higher ICC (60–90 mA); F-family process. | Supports higher-frequency bus cycles but increases thermal load and EMI risk in dense layouts. | Prefer where sub-8 ns delay is mandatory and board-level thermal management is confirmed. |
Compared with SN74LS645N and SN74F645N, the SN74ALS645ADB delivers optimal balance of speed (3–10 ns), drive strength (24 mA), and power efficiency (45 mA ICC), making it ideal for mid-performance industrial backplanes where ALS compatibility and thermal headroom are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74ALS645ADB?
The SN74ALS645ADB is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, consistent with commercial-grade TTL logic specifications. This range is defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay and output drive. Exceeding +70°C may cause timing violations or increased ICC drift. The SN74ALS645ADB does not support extended or industrial temperature grades.
Does the SN74ALS645ADB support true bidirectional data flow without external logic?
Yes, the SN74ALS645ADB supports true bidirectional data flow using only its DIR and G inputs - no external latches or control logic required. When G = LOW, setting DIR = LOW enables B→A transfer; DIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer. Both directions operate concurrently on separate 8-bit paths, and the 3-STATE outputs ensure clean bus isolation during direction changes.
What is the recommended decoupling for the SN74ALS645ADB?
Each SN74ALS645ADB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 10 mm of the VCC pin and connected to a low-inductance ground plane. For boards with multiple SN74ALS645ADB devices, add one 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor per 5–10 devices near the power entry point. This mitigates simultaneous switching noise and maintains VCC stability during 24 mA output transitions.
Can the SN74ALS645ADB be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No, the SN74ALS645ADB is not 3.3 V compatible. Its absolute maximum input voltage on control inputs is 7 V, but VIH = 2.0 V and VIL = 0.8 V are specified only for VCC = 4.5–5.5 V operation. Driving DIR or G from 3.3 V logic risks marginal HIGH-level recognition and violates recommended operating conditions. Use level translators or 5 V-tolerant interface ICs when interfacing with 3.3 V systems.
Is the SN74ALS645ADB pin-compatible with other 74-series octal transceivers?
Yes, the SN74ALS645ADB shares identical pinout and function mapping with SN74LS645, SN74F645, and DM74ALS645A in the same 20-pin SOIC or PDIP package. All feature A1–A8, B1–B8, DIR, G, VCC, and GND in identical positions. However, timing, drive strength, and power consumption differ - verify timing margins and thermal design when substituting across families.
