Product details
Overview
SN74HC645NSRE4 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 reliable level-shifting and bus isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC645NSRE4 datasheet, SN74HC645NSRE4 pinout, SN74HC645NSRE4 application, or SN74HC645NSRE4 equivalent, key selection considerations include direction-control logic behavior, 3-state output timing (ten/tdis), thermal resistance (θJA = 60°C/W), and compatibility with LSTTL loads in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
This device implements true CMOS logic with high-current 3-state outputs capable of driving up to 15 LSTTL loads. Its DIR input selects data direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables or isolates both buses simultaneously - supporting hot-swap and power-managed system architectures.
Electrical operation is defined across 2 V–6 V supply range with guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds at all voltages, low input current (≤1 µA), and ICC ≤80 µA max. Switching performance is characterized at CL = 50 pF and CL = 150 pF, with tpd = 12 ns (typ) at VCC = 6 V and TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports interoperability between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly interface with standard LSTTL inputs (15-load capacity). |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-50 MHz bus operation in synchronous designs. |
| 3-State Enable Time (ten) | 20 ns max at VCC = 6 V - ensures fast bus arbitration and minimal contention window during direction switching. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA maximum - suitable for low-power embedded systems with extended sleep modes. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1 µA max - prevents unintended logic transitions when inputs are floating or weakly biased. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 40 pF per transceiver - used to calculate dynamic power consumption under switching conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SN74HC645NSRE4 is housed in a 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with NS suffix, measuring 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm, 1.75 mm height, and 1.27 mm lead pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaged (2000 units/reel), and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-bus inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals connected to source bus; direction determined by DIR state. |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B-bus inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals connected to destination bus; mirror A-bus functionality. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O buffers. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–6 V); powers all logic and output stages. |
| 12 | OE | Active-low 3-state enable; when high, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state. |
| 20 | DIR | Direction control input; low = B→A transfer, high = A→B transfer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2 V to 6 V operation enables direct use in 3.3 V and 5 V systems without external regulators. |
| Bidirectional Data Flow | Single DIR pin controls full 8-bit data path direction - reduces PCB routing complexity vs. dual-unidirectional solutions. |
| High-Current 3-State Outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V meets LSTTL fan-out requirements, eliminating need for buffer amplification. |
| Low Power Consumption | 80 µA max ICC allows integration into battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems. |
| Fast Switching Performance | 12 ns typical tpd at 6 V supports high-speed bus handshaking in real-time control applications. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Microcontroller Bus 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC645APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 5.4 ns typ), but not 5 V tolerant. | Suitable only for 3.3 V-only systems; cannot replace SN74HC645NSRE4 in mixed 5 V/3.3 V environments. | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and requiring faster timing margins. |
| 74AC645SCX | Wider VCC (2–6 V), higher drive (±24 mA), but higher ICC (4 µA typ) and no 80 µA max guarantee. | Better for driving heavy capacitive loads or long traces, but less optimal for ultra-low-power standby modes. | Choose when output loading exceeds 15 LSTTL units or when AC-series timing consistency is required. |
Compared with SN74HC645NSRE4, SN74LVC645APW offers superior speed in 3.3 V systems but lacks 5 V tolerance, while 74AC645SCX provides stronger drive and broader AC-family timing predictability at the cost of higher static power - making SN74HC645NSRE4 the balanced choice for mixed-voltage, low-quiescent-power industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74HC645NSRE4?
The SN74HC645NSRE4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the commercial temperature grade of TI's HC logic family. This range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, factory automation hardware, and outdoor embedded gateways where ambient temperatures may fluctuate significantly. The NS package's θJA of 60°C/W ensures thermal stability under continuous 6 V operation with typical load conditions.
Does SN74HC645NSRE4 support 5 V logic levels when powered at 3.3 V?
No - SN74HC645NSRE4 does not support 5 V-tolerant inputs when VCC = 3.3 V. Its input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC), so at 3.3 V supply, VIH ≈ 2.31 V minimum. Applying 5 V signals risks damaging the input stage. For mixed-voltage interfacing, SN74HC645NSRE4 must be powered at the higher voltage domain (e.g., 5 V) or paired with dedicated level translators.
How does the DIR pin affect data flow direction in SN74HC645NSRE4?
In SN74HC645NSRE4, the DIR pin is active-high: when DIR = HIGH, data flows from A-bus pins (1–8) to B-bus pins (11,13–19); when DIR = LOW, data flows from B-bus to A-bus. This bidirectional control occurs only when OE = LOW. If OE = HIGH, both buses enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR state - enabling clean bus arbitration in multi-master systems.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for SN74HC645NSRE4 decoupling?
TI recommends placing a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 10) and GND (pin 9), located within 3 mm of the package, plus a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor near the power entry point of the board. Avoid shared return paths for high-speed switching currents, and route A/B bus traces with controlled impedance (≈50 Ω) and matched lengths to minimize skew - especially critical when operating above 10 MHz.
Can SN74HC645NSRE4 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - SN74HC645NSRE4 is explicitly characterized to drive up to 15 LSTTL loads, verified by its ±6 mA output drive capability at 5 V and guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.33 V and VOH ≥ 3.7 V under those conditions. This meets the DC interface requirements of 74LS-series devices without external pull-ups or buffers, simplifying legacy system upgrades and reducing BOM cost.
