Product details
Overview
SN74HC645NSR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver IC designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between parallel buses. It features bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR, 3-state outputs enabled/disabled by OE, operates from 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, and achieves typical propagation delay of 12 ns at 6 V - enabling reliable level-shifting and bus isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC645NSR datasheet, SN74HC645NSR pinout, SN74HC645NSR application, or SN74HC645NSR equivalent, this device supports critical design tasks including bidirectional I/O buffering, microcontroller peripheral bus expansion, and legacy TTL-to-CMOS interface translation with verified 15-LSTTL load drive capability.
Technical Context
This device implements true CMOS logic with symmetrical input thresholds and rail-to-rail output swing. Its dual-control architecture uses DIR to select A→B or B→A data direction and OE to place all outputs in high-impedance state - enabling dynamic bus arbitration without external logic.
Each of the eight channels includes independent 3-state output drivers with ±35 mA absolute maximum continuous output current and ±20 mA clamp current. Input leakage remains ≤1 µA across full temperature range, supporting low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing compatibility with 40-MHz bus cycles. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - drives up to 15 LSTTL loads per channel, eliminating need for buffer fanout stages. |
| Input Leakage Current | ≤1 µA max - minimizes static power draw and prevents unintended logic transitions on floating inputs. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 20 ns, tdis = 21 ns at VCC = 6 V - guarantees clean bus release during hot-swap or multiplexer switching. |
| Power Consumption (ICC) | 80 µA max at VCC = 6 V - supports ultra-low-quiescent-current system designs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
SN74HC645NSR is housed in a 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 7.5 mm body width, compliant with JEDEC MS-013 and RoHS standards. The package supports surface-mount reflow assembly with MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data transfer; Low = B→A transfer - determines real-time bus traffic direction without software overhead. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to primary system bus; function as inputs when DIR = Low and OE = Low. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | CMOS core supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin for noise immunity. |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-Low control: OE = Low enables transceiver; OE = High places all A/B pins in high-Z state for bus isolation. |
| 13–20 (B1–B8) | Bus B Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to secondary bus; mirror A-side functionality with opposite directionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Data Flow | Single DIR pin selects A→B or B→A path - eliminates need for separate transmit/receive buffers in half-duplex interfaces. |
| True CMOS Logic Levels | VIH = 3.15 V / VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures robust noise margin (>1.3 V) against EMI in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low-Power 3-State Outputs | IOZ ≤ 5 µA max at VCC = 6 V - prevents bus contention leakage current from disrupting adjacent powered-down subsystems. |
| Wide Input Transition Tolerance | ∆t/∆v ≤ 400 ns/V at VCC = 6 V - accommodates slow-rising signals from mechanical switches or legacy microcontrollers. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 60°C/W for NS package - allows operation at full speed up to +85°C ambient without heatsinking in compact enclosures. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Microcontroller Peripheral Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT645NSR | CMOS input with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V min); identical pinout and timing. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise immunity must match legacy TTL logic families. | Select when interfacing with older 5 V microcontrollers or logic families requiring guaranteed 2 V VIH. |
| 74LCX645MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 5.5 ns @ 3.3 V), different pinout (TSSOP-20). | Optimized for 3.3 V-only portable/embedded systems requiring minimal propagation delay and lower power. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and quiescent current over 5 V compatibility or drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SN74HC645NSR, SN74HCT645NSR offers superior noise immunity in 5 V mixed-signal environments, while 74LCX645MTCX provides faster performance and lower voltage operation but requires PCB layout revision due to TSSOP packaging and non-identical pin mapping.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74HC645NSR?
The SN74HC645NSR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization data showing θJA = 60°C/W for the NS package, enabling reliable performance in enclosed control cabinets without forced cooling.
Does SN74HC645NSR support 3.3 V logic levels?
Yes, SN74HC645NSR fully supports 3.3 V operation: its 2 V to 6 V supply range includes 3.3 V nominal, and input thresholds scale proportionally (VIH = 2.31 V min, VIL = 0.99 V max at VCC = 3.3 V). Output VOH/VOL specifications guarantee clean interfacing with standard 3.3 V CMOS receivers.
Can SN74HC645NSR replace SN74LS645 in existing designs?
SN74HC645NSR can functionally replace SN74LS645 in most cases but requires verification of voltage compatibility: SN74LS645 is 5 V only and draws significantly more current. SN74HC645NSR operates at 5 V with 80 µA ICC versus LS645's ~30 mA, reducing heat and enabling direct substitution if board layout accommodates SOIC-20 footprint and no pull-up resistors are present on OE/DIR.
What is the meaning of "NSR" in SN74HC645NSR?
The "NSR" suffix denotes the specific packaging and packaging format: "NS" indicates the SOP-20 (Small Outline Package) variant per TI's package coding, and "R" signifies tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel). This matches TI's official ordering information where SN74HC645NSR is listed as active, RoHS-compliant, and supplied in large tape-and-reel format.
How does the DIR pin affect data flow direction in SN74HC645NSR?
In SN74HC645NSR, the DIR pin controls real-time data path direction: when DIR = High, data flows from A-bus inputs to B-bus outputs; when DIR = Low, data flows from B-bus inputs to A-bus outputs. This bidirectional control occurs independently of OE state - enabling dynamic direction switching even while outputs remain enabled.
