Product details
Overview
SN74HCT245DGSR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in 5-V logic systems. It features ±6-mA output drive at 5 V, 14-ns typical propagation delay (CL = 50 pF), and operates across –40°C to 125°C. Used in ribbon-cable signal integrity enhancement and backplane buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCT245DGSR datasheet, SN74HCT245DGSR pinout, SN74HCT245DGSR application, or SN74HCT245DGSR equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-control logic level compatibility, 3-state isolation timing (ten/tdis ≤ 52 ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 118.4°C/W in DGS package), and TTL-voltage-compatible inputs for legacy system interfacing.
Technical Context
The SN74HCT245DGSR implements a standard '245 logic function with active-low output enable (OE) and unidirectional direction control (DIR). Its CMOS HCT process ensures TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while delivering rail-to-rail 5-V output swing and balanced ±6-mA drive capability on all eight channels.
Functional modes are defined by OE and DIR: OE low enables bidirectional flow (DIR high → A→B; DIR low → B→A); OE high places all A/B I/Os in high-impedance state. Propagation delay is symmetric (tpd ≤ 25 ns at 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and switching characteristics are specified for both 50-pF and 150-pF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5-V rail with ±10% tolerance; no external regulation required. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14 ns typical (5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables reliable 35-MHz bus operation in synchronous systems. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at 5 V - drives up to 15 LSTTL loads directly without external buffers. |
| Static Supply Current (ICC) | 80 µA maximum - ultra-low quiescent power for always-on bus isolation stages. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - interfaces seamlessly with legacy 74LS/74ALS logic. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V CDM - meets JEDEC JESD22-C101 for robust handling in automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-20 (DGS) package: 5.10 mm × 3.00 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked via dot; pin 10 = GND, pin 20 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; determines signal path polarity during active state. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects to local bus (e.g., MCU side); functions as input or output depending on DIR state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all signals and supply current; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11–18 (B8–B1) | Port B bidirectional I/O | Connects to remote bus (e.g., peripheral side); complements A-port for full-duplex channel pairing. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active low) | High = all A/B pins in high-Z; critical for bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 5-V supply input; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional bus isolation | Enables two-way communication between mismatched or electrically separated buses using single DIR control line. |
| Low-noise VCC/GND pin placement | Center-aligned power/ground pins minimize simultaneous switching noise in high-speed multi-bit transfers. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6-mA drive strength eliminates need for external line drivers in ribbon-cable and backplane applications. |
| CMOS HCT process | Combines TTL input compatibility with CMOS power efficiency-supports mixed-logic system integration. |
| Thermally optimized DGS package | VSSOP-20 provides 118.4°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance-enables higher sustained throughput in compact layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245DBR | VSSOP-20 replaced with SSOP-20 (7.80 mm × 7.20 mm); RθJA = 84.6°C/W; same electrical specs. | Higher board space requirement; lower thermal resistance allows higher ambient temperature margin. | Select SN74HCT245DBR when layout area permits and thermal derating above 85°C is needed. |
| SN74LVC245A | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V); ±24-mA drive; 3.5-ns tpd; different VIH/VIL thresholds (≥2 V / ≤0.8 V). | Not pin-compatible; requires level translation for 5-V systems; superior speed/power for modern low-voltage designs. | Choose SN74LVC245A only in new 3.3-V designs where higher speed and lower voltage operation are primary goals. |
Compared with SN74HCT245DBR and SN74LVC245A, the SN74HCT245DGSR offers the smallest footprint (5.10 × 3.00 mm) and highest temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C), making it optimal for space-constrained industrial controllers requiring extended thermal margin without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74HCT245DGSR?
The SN74HCT245DGSR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, as confirmed in Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions of the TI datasheet SCLS020H. This extended range supports deployment in automotive under-hood modules and industrial control cabinets without forced cooling.
Does the SN74HCT245DGSR require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins?
No. The SN74HCT245DGSR has CMOS inputs with leakage current ≤ ±100 nA (Section 6.5), so DIR and OE can be driven directly from MCU GPIOs or logic gates without pull-ups. However, unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND per TI application report SCBA004 to prevent floating states.
Can the SN74HCT245DGSR drive a 150-pF load reliably?
Yes. The SN74HCT245DGSR specifies switching characteristics for CL = 150 pF in Section 6.7, with tpd ≤ 34 ns (5.5 V) and ten ≤ 67 ns. These values ensure timing compliance in high-capacitance PCB traces or multi-drop bus configurations common in backplane designs.
Is the SN74HCT245DGSR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. Per TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM, SN74HCT245DGSR carries "Yes" in the RoHS column and uses NIPDAU (Nickel/Palladium/Gold) lead finish, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
How does the SN74HCT245DGSR differ from the SN74HCT245N in terms of thermal performance?
The SN74HCT245DGSR (VSSOP-20) has RθJA = 118.4°C/W, while the SN74HCT245N (PDIP-20) has RθJA = 43.4°C/W. Though the DGS package is smaller, its higher thermal resistance means it requires careful PCB copper pour design; the PDIP version dissipates heat more readily in free-air but occupies significantly more board area.
