Product details
Overview
SN74AS645DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in industrial control and legacy computing systems. It operates from 0°C to 70°C, supports 5 V supply, delivers 64 mA low-level output current, and features direction-control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) logic for precise bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS645DWR datasheet, SN74AS645DWR pinout, SN74AS645DWR application, or SN74AS645DWR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated SOIC-20 package details, confirmed timing parameters (tPLH ≤ 9.5 ns), and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for legacy system redesign and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The SN74AS645DWR implements TTL-compatible bipolar Schottky (AS) logic with true dual-rail 3-state output drivers. Its DIR input selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE independently disables all outputs into high-impedance state - enabling clean bus arbitration without contention.
It meets military-grade reliability standards in commercial temperature range, with absolute max ratings of 7 V supply and 5.5 V I/O voltage. Switching performance is characterized at CL = 50 pF, R1/R2 = 500 Ω, ensuring predictable timing in noise-sensitive backplane and parallel bus environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and power distribution networks |
| IOL Output Drive | 64 mA - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long PCB traces or multiple TTL inputs) without signal degradation |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤ 9.5 ns - enables reliable operation in high-speed parallel interfaces up to ~100 MHz effective data rate |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial embedded applications with controlled thermal environments |
| Package | SOIC-20 (DW) - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, 1.27 mm pitch, MSL Level-1, suitable for automated reflow assembly |
| 3-State Enable | OE-controlled full bus isolation - eliminates leakage paths and prevents bus contention during hot-swap or power sequencing |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS645DWR uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 2.65 mm max height, and 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch on the top surface.
| 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 traffic direction |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to primary bus segment; driven or received based on DIR/OE state |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Port B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to secondary bus segment; mirror A-port functionality |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Low = outputs active; High = all A/B pins enter high-Z - critical for bus sharing and multiplexing |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | +5 V power rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Data Flow | Single DIR pin configures A↔B direction without external logic or routing changes |
| High-Drive 3-State Outputs | 64 mA sink capability ensures robust signal integrity across loaded backplanes and daisy-chained peripherals |
| Fast Propagation Delay | 9.5 ns max tPLH/tPHL enables synchronous handshaking in legacy parallel interfaces (e.g., ISA, GPIB) |
| Bus Isolation Integrity | OE-driven high-Z state guarantees <1 µA off-state leakage - prevents unintended current paths during standby |
| SOIC-20 RoHS Compliance | NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 rating, and 260°C peak reflow support high-yield SMT manufacturing |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplanes | Legacy Computer Expansion Slots |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS645ADWR | ALS family: lower IOL (24 mA), slower speed (tPLH ≤ 10 ns), higher noise immunity due to Schottky-clamped TTL | Suitable for lower-power, noise-prone environments where drive strength is secondary to EMI resilience | Select when system load capacitance is < 30 pF and power budget limits ICC to < 60 mA |
| SN74LS645N | LS family: 8 mA IOL, 25 ns max tPLH, PDIP-20 only, no SOIC option, higher propagation delay tolerance | Preferred for through-hole prototyping, educational labs, or legacy repair where SOIC footprint is unavailable | Choose only if board layout lacks SOIC-20 land pattern or thermal constraints prohibit >100 mA ICC peaks |
Compared with SN74AS645DWR, SN74ALS645ADWR trades 2.7× lower drive for improved noise margin and reduced power, while SN74LS645N sacrifices speed and package flexibility for universal socket compatibility and design simplicity in non-critical timing paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74AS645DWR?
The SN74AS645DWR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, per its commercial-grade qualification. This range is explicitly defined in the recommended operating conditions table of the SDAS278 datasheet. Operation outside this range may result in undefined timing behavior or parametric failure. For extended temperature applications, consider the military-grade SN54AS645J variant rated from –55°C to 125°C.
Does SN74AS645DWR support 3.3 V logic levels?
No, SN74AS645DWR is a 5 V-only TTL device. Its VIH minimum is 2.0 V and VIL maximum is 0.8 V, but it requires VCC = 4.5–5.5 V for correct internal biasing and output swing. Driving inputs from 3.3 V logic may cause marginal high-level recognition; level-shifting circuitry is required for interoperability with 3.3 V systems. The device does not tolerate 3.3 V supply.
What is the pin 1 marking method for SN74AS645DWR in SOIC-20 package?
SN74AS645DWR in DW package uses a beveled corner or molded notch at the top-left edge (adjacent to pin 1) for orientation identification. This matches TI's standard SOIC marking convention per DW0020A package outline. No dot or other secondary mark is used - alignment relies solely on the physical corner feature visible under magnification or automated vision systems.
Can SN74AS645DWR replace SN74ALS645ADWR in an existing design?
Yes, SN74AS645DWR can directly replace SN74ALS645ADWR in most cases, as both share identical pinout, SOIC-20 package, and 5 V operation. However, SN74AS645DWR delivers 64 mA IOL versus 24 mA for ALS, and has faster propagation delay (9.5 ns vs. 10 ns). Verify that downstream loads can handle the higher drive strength and that timing margins remain sufficient with the reduced delay.
Is SN74AS645DWR RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, SN74AS645DWR is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and carries MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), per TI's Package Option Addendum. This allows indefinite storage and standard reflow profiling without baking - ideal for just-in-time manufacturing and low-volume production runs requiring zero moisture sensitivity handling.
