Product details
Overview
SN74F2245DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between two 8-bit buses (A↔B) in TTL-level systems. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), 12 mA sink capability per output, integrated 25-Ω series resistors to suppress overshoot/undershoot, and operates over 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F2245DWR datasheet, SN74F2245DWR pinout, SN74F2245DWR application, or SN74F2245DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.6 ns), 3-state control logic compatibility, 5 V supply operation, and SOIC-20 package footprint suitability for legacy board upgrades and industrial backplane interfaces.
Technical Context
The SN74F2245DWR implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input: low DIR enables B→A transmission, high DIR enables A→B transmission. OE independently disables both A and B ports into high-impedance states, providing full bus isolation.
Each I/O port supports TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), delivers VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −3 mA, and sinks IOL = 12 mA with VOL ≤ 0.75 V. Internal 25-Ω series resistors on all outputs reduce signal integrity issues in unterminated stubs or long traces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across standard TTL power rail tolerances. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤ 6.6 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports >150 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations. |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 12 mA sink per pin - Drives standard TTL loads and multiple 74F inputs without external buffers. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 7.5 ns, tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 12 ns - Enables fast bus arbitration and dynamic bus sharing. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and computing applications. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Matches standard TTL logic families for seamless interoperation. |
| Output Series Resistance | 25 Ω integrated per output - Reduces ringing and EMI on PCB traces up to 10 cm without external termination. |
Pinout & Package
SN74F2245DWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 2.65 mm max height, JEDEC MS-013 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; TTL-compatible input with IIH/IIL ≤ ±0.5 mA. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | 8-bit bidirectional data port A; 3-state when OE = HIGH or DIR conflict invalidates path. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | 8-bit bidirectional data port B; electrically identical to A-port with same drive/sink specs. |
| 19 | OE | Output enable: LOW = active, HIGH = 3-state isolation of both A and B ports simultaneously. |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V supply; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of pin for switching stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional 8-bit bus interface | Single DIR pin configures data flow direction (A↔B), eliminating need for separate transmit/receive control logic. |
| Integrated 25-Ω series output resistors | Reduces edge-induced overshoot/undershoot on PCB traces, enabling reliable operation without discrete termination. |
| 12 mA output sink capability | Drives up to 10 standard 74F TTL inputs or one 74AS input per pin, supporting fanout-critical backplane designs. |
| Fast 3-state enable/disable | tPZH ≤ 7.5 ns ensures minimal bus contention window during direction or enable transitions. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V / VIH = 2.0 V guarantees interoperability with legacy 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIOs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS2245N | Lower IOL (8 mA), higher VOL (0.8 V), slower tPLH (10 ns), same pinout and function. | Higher static power (ICC ≈ 110 mA vs. 90 mA), less suitable for high-speed or low-noise environments. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed legacy replacements where timing margin exists. |
| SN74ACT245DW | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.5 V), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), same 24 mA IOL, faster tPLH (5.5 ns). | Not TTL-input compatible; requires level translation if driven by 74F/74LS sources. | Preferred for new designs needing lower ICC and better noise immunity, but requires input voltage validation. |
Compared with SN74ALS2245N and SN74ACT245DW, the SN74F2245DWR offers optimal balance of TTL compatibility, 12 mA drive, sub-7 ns timing, and integrated termination-making it the most direct fit for upgrading existing 74F-based bus architectures without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data toggle rate supported by the SN74F2245DWR?
The SN74F2245DWR does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 6.6 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) supports reliable data toggling up to approximately 150 MHz in point-to-point configurations with 50 pF load. System-level timing depends on bus capacitance, trace length, and driver strength-designers should verify setup/hold margins using the 2.1 ns minimum tPLH at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = min.
Can the SN74F2245DWR be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No-the SN74F2245DWR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V VCC operation and TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V). Driving its inputs from 3.3 V logic may result in marginal or non-functional VIH margin, and powering it at 3.3 V violates absolute maximum ratings. For 3.3 V systems, consider the SN74LVC245A or SN74AVC245 instead.
Does the SN74F2245DWR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE?
No-DIR and OE are TTL-compatible CMOS inputs with IIH ≤ 20 μA and IIL ≤ −0.5 mA at VCC = 5.5 V. They can be directly driven by 74F, 74LS, or microcontroller GPIOs. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless floating-state prevention is required in system-level power sequencing; in such cases, 10 kΩ to VCC suffices.
What is the purpose of the 25-Ω resistors inside the SN74F2245DWR outputs?
The 25-Ω series resistors integrated into each output stage of the SN74F2245DWR dampen signal edge reflections on PCB traces, reducing overshoot and undershoot in unterminated or stub-loaded bus topologies. This improves signal integrity without requiring external resistors-particularly valuable in backplane or multi-drop layouts where trace impedance control is impractical.
Is the SN74F2245DWR pin-compatible with other 20-pin octal transceivers like the 74F245?
Yes-the SN74F2245DWR shares identical pinout, function mapping, and electrical behavior with the industry-standard SN74F245, including DIR (pin 1), OE (pin 19), A1–A8 (pins 2–9), B1–B8 (pins 11–18), VCC (pin 20), and GND (pin 10). It is a functional and mechanical drop-in replacement for SN74F245 in SOIC-20 (DW) packages.
