Product details
Overview
SN74HCT245PWRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 14 ns (CL = 50 pF), and supports TTL-compatible inputs - enabling robust signal integrity in industrial backplane and ribbon-cable interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCT245PWRG4 datasheet, SN74HCT245PWRG4 pinout, SN74HCT245PWRG4 application, or SN74HCT245PWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-control logic level behavior, 3-state enable timing (ten/tdis), bus isolation capability under OE high, and compatibility with 15-LSTTL loads in 5-V logic systems.
Technical Context
The SN74HCT245PWRG4 implements a standard '245 logic function with active-low output enable (OE) and unidirectional direction control (DIR). Its dual-bus architecture allows A→B or B→A data flow depending on DIR state, while OE independently places all I/Os into high-impedance mode to isolate buses.
It uses HCMOS technology with TTL-voltage compatible inputs, balanced ±6 mA drive strength, and low static ICC (≤80 µA). The device features center-aligned VCC/GND pins to minimize switching noise and supports load capacitances up to 150 pF with verified timing performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances without external regulation. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14 ns typical (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5.5 V) - enables reliable 35+ MHz data throughput in synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at 5 V - directly drives up to 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers, reducing component count. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) - interoperates seamlessly with legacy 5-V TTL and CMOS logic families. |
| Static Supply Current | 80 µA maximum - minimizes quiescent power in always-on industrial control modules. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 52 ns max, tdis = 45 ns max (CL = 50 pF) - guarantees clean bus arbitration and prevents contention during direction switching. |
| ESD Rating | ±1500 V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DIR | Direction control input | High = A-to-B data flow; Low = B-to-A - determines real-time bus communication direction without clocking. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects to local bus (e.g., MCU or FPGA side); functions as input or output based on DIR state. |
| 10 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all signals; center placement reduces ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 11–18 B1–B8 | Port B bidirectional I/O | Connects to remote bus (e.g., peripheral or backplane side); mirrors A-port functionality with opposite directionality. |
| 19 OE | Active-low output enable | High = all A/B ports in high-Z; Low = transceiver enabled - provides hardware-level bus isolation for multi-master systems. |
| 20 VCC | Power supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply; center-aligned with GND to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional bus isolation | Independent DIR and OE controls allow dynamic direction switching and complete bus decoupling - essential for hot-swap and multi-drop topologies. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V sustains signal integrity over long traces or ribbon cables, eliminating need for discrete buffer stages. |
| Low static power consumption | 80 µA max ICC enables use in power-constrained industrial nodes where standby current impacts thermal design. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensure direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level-shifting components. |
| Controlled switching characteristics | Specified ten/tdis (enable/disable times) prevent bus contention during state transitions - critical for deterministic system timing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245PW | Same logic function and pinout, but obsolete per TI documentation; no new production shipments. | Not suitable for new designs requiring long-term supply continuity. | Select SN74HCT245PWRG4 for active production support and guaranteed availability. |
| 74ACT245SCX | Higher speed (tpd ≈ 9 ns), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), but higher ICC (120 µA max) and lower noise immunity (VIH = 3.5 V min). | Better for high-frequency timing-critical links; less tolerant of marginal TTL input levels. | Choose SN74HCT245PWRG4 when TTL compatibility, low static power, and industrial temperature range are prioritized. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PW and 74ACT245SCX, the SN74HCT245PWRG4 offers optimal balance of proven reliability, TTL interoperability, and supply-chain stability for industrial embedded systems - especially where backward compatibility and long-lifecycle support are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74HCT245PWRG4?
The SN74HCT245PWRG4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the commercial-industrial temperature grade defined in its recommended operating conditions. This range supports deployment in enclosed control cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and factory-floor equipment without derating.
Does SN74HCT245PWRG4 support bidirectional data flow on the same pins?
Yes - the SN74HCT245PWRG4 uses true bidirectional I/O ports (A1–A8 and B1–B8), where each pin functions as input or output depending on the logic level applied to the DIR pin. No external direction logic or multiplexing is required.
How does the OE pin behave when driven high on SN74HCT245PWRG4?
When OE is driven high, all A- and B-port outputs enter high-impedance (3-state) mode regardless of DIR state or data activity - effectively isolating both buses. Inputs remain functional, so DIR and data lines retain valid logic states during isolation.
Can SN74HCT245PWRG4 drive 15 LSTTL loads directly?
Yes - the SN74HCT245PWRG4 is explicitly characterized to drive up to 15 LSTTL loads per output, verified by its ±6 mA output drive specification at 5 V and guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.33 V under 6 mA sink conditions.
Is SN74HCT245PWRG4 pin-compatible with other TSSOP-20 octal transceivers?
SN74HCT245PWRG4 follows the industry-standard '245 pinout for TSSOP-20 packages. It is pin-compatible with SN74HCT245PWR and SN74HCT245PW (same footprint), though the latter two are obsolete or inactive per TI's orderable addendum.
