Product details
Overview
SN74LS645-1DW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control in TTL-level digital systems. It features 8-bit non-inverting data paths, independent output-enable (OE) and direction (DIR) controls, and operates over 0°C to 70°C. Used in legacy industrial controllers and backplane interface modules where level-shifting and bus isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS645-1DW datasheet, SN74LS645-1DW pinout, SN74LS645-1DW application, or SN74LS645-1DW equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-20 package, TTL-compatible input thresholds, 3-state output drive capability, and compatibility with LS-family timing and loading specifications.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit bidirectional buffers with separate DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs, enabling synchronous control of data flow between two buses. Each data line supports true TTL input levels and delivers standard LS output drive (IOH = –15 mA, IOL = 24 mA at VCC = 5 V).
Propagation delay is specified at tPLH/tPHL ≤ 25 ns (max) under typical load conditions, and it maintains full compatibility with SN74LS640/645 family logic thresholds and fan-out rules. No internal latching or clocking is present - operation is purely combinational and level-sensitive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver - enables isolated, controlled data transfer between two 8-bit buses |
| Logic Family | TTL LS - compatible with standard 5-V TTL voltage levels and noise margins |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V - requires regulated 5-V rail; no internal regulation |
| Output Drive | IOL = 24 mA / IOH = –15 mA - sufficient to drive 20 LS loads or one ALS load |
| Propagation Delay | tPD ≤ 25 ns (max) - supports synchronous bus rates up to ~20 MHz in minimal-load configurations |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating; not rated for extended or military temperature ranges |
| Package | SOIC-20 (DW) - 7.5-mm body width, 1.27-mm pitch, surface-mount compatible |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS645-1DW is housed in a 20-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package with 1.27-mm lead pitch and 7.5-mm body width. The package conforms to JEDEC MS-013 and supports standard reflow profiles (Level-1-260°C-UNLIM).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; determines signal path polarity |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A data terminals | Input when DIR = Low and OE = Low; output when DIR = High and OE = Low |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all logic and output currents |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bus B data terminals | Input when DIR = High and OE = Low; output when DIR = Low and OE = Low |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable input | Low = 3-state outputs active; High = all outputs high-impedance |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional data control | Single DIR pin selects real-time A→B or B→A flow without latch or clock dependency |
| Independent 3-state enable | Dedicated OE pin disables both A and B ports simultaneously into high-impedance state |
| TTL-compatible interface | Meets LS-series VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V/0.8 V), ensuring interoperability with legacy 74LS logic |
| SOIC-20 footprint | Standardized 7.5-mm wide package enables drop-in replacement in existing LS-based PCB layouts |
| Commercial temperature range | Validated operation from 0°C to +70°C supports deployment in office, lab, and non-harsh industrial environments |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional or bidirectional signal conditioner for Centronics-style parallel interfaces. Use Value: Eliminates ground loop issues and improves noise immunity on long cable runs using controlled 3-state output transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS245N | Same 20-pin PDIP package; identical electrical specs but lacks -1 suffix variant marking; obsolete in SOIC form | Requires through-hole assembly; not suitable for new SOIC-based designs | Select only if legacy PDIP layout reuse is mandatory and thermal/mounting constraints allow |
| SN74LS645-1DWR | Same die and specs; tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 | Designed for automated SMT production; supports high-volume pick-and-place | Preferred for new designs requiring volume manufacturing and modern compliance requirements |
Compared with SN74LS245N and SN74LS645-1DWR, the SN74LS645-1DW offers identical core functionality in an obsolete SOIC-20 format - ideal for repair or low-volume continuity builds where tape-and-reel logistics are unnecessary, but not recommended for new production due to discontinuation status.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the SN74LS645-1DW?
The DIR (direction) pin on the SN74LS645-1DW controls data flow polarity: when DIR = HIGH, data passes from Bus A to Bus B; when DIR = LOW, data flows from Bus B to Bus A. This single-pin control eliminates need for separate transmit/receive lines and enables real-time bidirectional bus arbitration in the SN74LS645-1DW without external logic.
Is SN74LS645-1DW pin-compatible with SN74LS245?
Yes, SN74LS645-1DW is functionally and pinout-compatible with SN74LS245 in SOIC-20 package - both share identical pin assignments for DIR, OE, A/B buses, VCC, and GND. However, SN74LS645-1DW uses a -1 suffix denoting updated characterization; always verify timing margins in your specific SN74LS645-1DW application.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by SN74LS645-1DW?
The SN74LS645-1DW has no internal clock; its usable data rate depends on external system timing. With tPD ≤ 25 ns and setup/hold times under 15 ns, it reliably supports asynchronous bus cycles up to ~20 MHz in low-capacitance (<30 pF) environments. For higher rates, derate based on actual trace capacitance and termination in the SN74LS645-1DW implementation.
Does SN74LS645-1DW support 3.3-V operation?
No, SN74LS645-1DW is strictly a 5-V TTL device. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and output drive characteristics are specified only for VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Operating SN74LS645-1DW at 3.3 V will result in undefined logic states and insufficient output swing; use a level-shifter or 3.3-V-compatible transceiver instead.
Why is SN74LS645-1DW marked as Obsolete in TI's packaging addendum?
TI classifies SN74LS645-1DW as Obsolete because it is no longer in active production - inventory is limited to remaining factory stock. TI continues to manufacture and support SN74LS645-1DWR (tape-and-reel) and SN74LS645-1N (PDIP), making SN74LS645-1DW suitable only for repair, spares, or legacy continuity, not new design starts.
