Product details
Overview
SN74HC645DW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver IC designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between parallel buses. It features 8-bit bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE inputs, operates across 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6-mA output drive at 5 V, and achieves typical propagation delay of 12 ns - enabling use in industrial control backplanes and legacy microprocessor data bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC645DW datasheet, SN74HC645DW pinout, SN74HC645DW application, or SN74HC645DW equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-control logic behavior, 3-state output isolation timing (ten/tdis), high-current drive capability into LSTTL loads, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The SN74HC645DW implements true CMOS logic with Schmitt-trigger–free inputs and complementary MOSFET output stages. Its DIR input selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables all outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state - supporting bus sharing without contention.
It uses standard HC-series silicon process with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (0 V to VCC) and guaranteed operation over –40°C to +85°C. Absolute maximum ratings include ±35 mA continuous output current and 70 mA total supply current, ensuring robustness in mixed-signal board environments with shared ground planes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 6 V - enables reliable operation up to ~40 MHz bus toggle rates under light capacitive load. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 15 LSTTL loads, eliminating need for external buffer stages. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Input Leakage Current | 1 µA max - ensures stable logic levels even with high-impedance pull-ups or long trace stubs. |
| Enable/Disable Time (ten/tdis) | 20 ns / 21 ns typical at VCC = 6 V - guarantees clean bus arbitration during dynamic reconfiguration. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
SN74HC645DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.6 mm body width, and 2.65 mm max height - compatible with IPC-7351 SOIC-20 footprint and standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-bus inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals connected to A-side bus; direction determined by DIR state. |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B-bus inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals connected to B-side bus; functionally mirrored to A pins. |
| 9 | GND | Power return reference for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–6 V); decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm. |
| 12 | OE | Active-low output enable; drives all A/B pins to high-Z when high. |
| 20 | DIR | Direction control; low = B→A transfer, high = A→B transfer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bidirectional bus interface | Single DIR pin configures full 8-bit data path direction without external logic or multiplexers. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V eliminates need for discrete bus buffers in multi-drop configurations. |
| Low power consumption | 80 µA max ICC allows integration into always-on subsystems without thermal derating. |
| Rail-to-rail input compatibility | Accepts VIH/VIL thresholds scaling with VCC - simplifies mixed-voltage system design. |
| SOIC-20 surface-mount package | Standardized footprint supports automated placement and reflow; JEDEC MS-013 compliant. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT645DW | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); identical pinout and timing. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise immunity is critical. | Select SN74HCT645DW when interfacing with legacy 74LS devices or noisy industrial environments. |
| 74LCX645MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 5.5 ns), and 5 V tolerant inputs; TSSOP-20 package. | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems requiring faster throughput and smaller footprint. | Choose 74LCX645MTCX for space-constrained portable instrumentation with 3.3 V supply rails. |
Compared with SN74HC645DW, SN74HCT645DW offers improved noise margin in 5 V TTL environments but consumes slightly more quiescent current, while 74LCX645MTCX provides superior speed and density at the cost of reduced voltage flexibility and non-SOIC packaging.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC645DW in a data bus application?
The SN74HC645DW does not contain an internal clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (tpd = 12 ns typical at 6 V) and bus loading. For a 50 pF load, it supports reliable toggling up to approximately 40 MHz in point-to-point configurations, assuming proper termination and layout practices. System-level timing must account for worst-case tpd, ten, and tdis values per the datasheet.
Does SN74HC645DW support hot-swapping of connected bus segments?
Yes - the SN74HC645DW supports hot-swap operation when OE is asserted high before physical insertion/removal. Its 3-state outputs isolate both A and B buses during transition, preventing signal contention. However, external series resistors (e.g., 10–33 Ω) on data lines and controlled slew-rate PCB routing are recommended to suppress ESD-induced glitches during plug-in events involving SN74HC645DW.
Can SN74HC645DW operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
Yes - the SN74HC645DW is fully specified from 2 V to 6 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers ±4 mA output drive, maintains VIH = 2.31 V and VIL = 0.99 V thresholds, and achieves tpd ≈ 16 ns (typical). All DC and AC parameters remain valid per the recommended operating conditions table in the SN74HC645DW datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74HC645DW SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the SN74HC645DW in its SOIC (DW) package is 58°C/W, measured under JEDEC JESD 51-7 standard conditions (single-layer 1-in² copper pad, no airflow). This value assumes minimal PCB copper area; actual thermal performance improves significantly with internal ground/power planes and thermal vias beneath the package body.
Is SN74HC645DW pin-compatible with SN74LS645N?
No - although both are octal transceivers, SN74HC645DW (SOIC-20) and SN74LS645N (PDIP-20) differ in pin mapping: DIR is on pin 20 for SN74HC645DW but on pin 1 for SN74LS645N, and OE is on pin 12 versus pin 11. Additionally, LS logic requires different biasing and has incompatible drive strength. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and logic-level validation.
