Product details
Overview
SN74BCT2245NSR from Texas Instruments is an octal transceiver and line/MOS driver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data bus communication between A and B buses. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports direction control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) logic, and features integrated 33-Ω series resistors on all B-port outputs to suppress overshoot/undershoot in high-speed MOS interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT2245NSR datasheet, SN74BCT2245NSR pinout, SN74BCT2245NSR application, or SN74BCT2245NSR equivalent, key selection considerations include its BiCMOS architecture for low ICCZ, 12-mA B-port sink/source capability, 3-state isolation timing (tPZH/tPLZ < 11.4 ns), and SOP-20 (NS) package compatibility with industrial bus buffering and legacy TTL-to-MOS level translation.
Technical Context
The SN74BCT2245NSR implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent DIR and OE controls enabling configurable unidirectional data flow (A→B or B→A) or full 3-state isolation. Its BiCMOS design combines bipolar input stages for TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and CMOS output drivers for rail-to-rail swing and reduced static current.
B-port outputs integrate nominal 33-Ω series termination resistors-eliminating external components for impedance matching in MOS gate driving and reducing signal integrity issues like ringing. The device maintains strict timing control: propagation delays range from 1.7 ns (tPLH B→A) to 7.8 ns (tPHL A→B), with enable/disable times under 12.2 ns (tPZH/tPLZ), ensuring deterministic bus arbitration in synchronous and asynchronous systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage industrial bus systems. |
| B-Port Output Drive | ±12 mA - Sufficient to directly drive MOS gates or multiple TTL loads without external buffers. |
| A-Port Low-Level Sink | 24 mA - Supports robust fanout to standard TTL inputs while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.5 V. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.7–7.8 ns - Enables reliable operation up to ~100 MHz bus clock rates with margin. |
| ICCZ (Quiescent Current) | 8–14 mA - Significantly lower than comparable bipolar transceivers, reducing system power in idle states. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM / 200-V MM / 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements without external protection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS245N | Bipolar-only design; no integrated series resistors; higher ICCZ (60 mA typical); slower tPHL (15 ns min). | Lacks B-port termination; requires external resistors for MOS driving; less suitable for high-speed or low-power systems. | Choose only when legacy LS logic family compatibility is mandatory and board space allows external termination. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3-V only operation; CMOS I/O; no built-in termination; supports 3.6-V max VCC; lower drive (24 mA sink/source). | Not 5-V tolerant; cannot replace SN74BCT2245NSR in 5-V systems without level shifters. | Select for new 3.3-V designs requiring lower power and smaller package; not a drop-in replacement for 5-V applications. |
Compared with SN74LS245N, SN74BCT2245NSR delivers faster timing, lower static current, and integrated B-port termination-reducing component count and improving signal fidelity. Against SN74LVC245APWR, it provides native 5-V operation and MOS-optimized drive but lacks 3.3-V compatibility and advanced low-voltage features.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the SN74BCT2245NSR?
The SN74BCT2245NSR operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This range ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL logic families and provides sufficient margin for ripple and droop in industrial power supplies. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings (−0.5 V to 7 V).
Does the SN74BCT2245NSR require external series resistors on the B-port outputs?
No, the SN74BCT2245NSR does not require external series resistors on the B-port outputs because it integrates nominal 33-Ω resistors internally. These resistors reduce signal overshoot and undershoot when driving MOS gates or transmission lines, eliminating the need for discrete components and simplifying PCB layout for the SN74BCT2245NSR in high-speed interface applications.
How does the direction-control (DIR) pin function on the SN74BCT2245NSR?
The DIR pin on the SN74BCT2245NSR determines data flow direction: when DIR is logic low, data transfers from the B bus to the A bus; when DIR is logic high, data flows from the A bus to the B bus. This bidirectional control enables flexible bus arbitration in systems where master/slave roles change dynamically, and is fully compatible with standard TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) for the SN74BCT2245NSR.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for the SN74BCT2245NSR to ensure high-impedance outputs?
To ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up, the OE pin of the SN74BCT2245NSR must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI specifies the minimum resistor value based on the current-sinking capability of the driver; a typical value is 10 kΩ. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes and applies specifically to the SN74BCT2245NSR's active-low OE architecture.
Is the SN74BCT2245NSR RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, the SN74BCT2245NSR is RoHS compliant and carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to soldering. This MSL rating and RoHS status are confirmed in TI's official packaging documentation for the SN74BCT2245NSR.
