Product details
Overview
SN74LS645-1N from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control in TTL-level parallel bus 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. It is used in legacy industrial controllers and backplane interface modules requiring level-shifted, isolated bus driving.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS645-1N datasheet, SN74LS645-1N pinout, SN74LS645-1N application, or SN74LS645-1N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state output drive capability, DIR/OE dual-control logic, PDIP-20 package compatibility with through-hole prototyping, and guaranteed TTL input thresholds across commercial temperature range.
Technical Context
The SN74LS645-1N implements two independent 4-bit bidirectional data paths within a single 20-pin PDIP package, each controlled by shared DIR and OE signals. Its output stage uses standard TTL totem-pole drivers with 3-state disable, enabling bus arbitration without external pull-ups or clamps.
Input thresholds are specified at VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V, ensuring robust noise margin against TTL-compatible sources. Propagation delay is characterized at tPLH/tPHL ≤ 25 ns (max) under VCC = 5 V, load = 15 pF, and RL = 400 Ω, supporting synchronous bus clocking up to ~15 MHz in constrained layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Octal non-inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - ensures compatibility with standard TTL power rails and noise immunity |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| Propagation Delay | ≤25 ns - supports reliable data transfer on 15-MHz synchronous buses with margin |

| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees clean logic recognition across voltage and temperature |
| Package | PDIP-20 (N), 0.300-inch width - compatible with legacy PCB footprints and manual soldering |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS645-1N is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N) with 0.300-inch body width and standard 0.1-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A - determines bus transfer direction |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A Data I/O | Bi-directional TTL-compatible data terminals for one bus segment |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path for all internal logic and output stages |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Port B Data I/O | Bi-directional TTL-compatible data terminals for second bus segment |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Low enables outputs; High forces all outputs into high-impedance state |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive Supply | +5 V DC supply for logic core and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Outputs | Enables multi-drop bus sharing without contention; OE-controlled high-Z state isolates port during idle cycles |
| Dual-Bus Isolation | Independent A/B ports allow signal translation between physically separated subsystems with no internal coupling |
| TTL-Compatible Logic | Guaranteed VIL/VIH, IIL/IIH, and fan-out match standard 74LS family timing and loading behavior |
| DIR/OE Dual Control | Separate direction and enable signals provide deterministic bus arbitration timing - avoids metastability in synchronous systems |
| PDIP-20 Footprint | Mechanically and electrically interchangeable with SN74LS245, SN74LS640, and other 20-pin LS bus transceivers |

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 8-bit non-inverting 3-state function; differs in DIR pin polarity (active-low vs. active-high on SN74LS645-1N) | Requires inverted DIR control signal; otherwise identical bus timing and drive strength | Select when existing design already uses SN74LS245 layout and only DIR logic inversion is needed |
| SN74LS640N | Identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in internal logic - SN74LS640N is inverting, SN74LS645-1N is non-inverting | Swaps data polarity end-to-end; requires software or upstream logic compensation | Select when signal inversion is acceptable or already compensated in system architecture |
Compared with SN74LS245N and SN74LS640N, the SN74LS645-1N provides non-inverting data transfer with active-high direction control - simplifying timing alignment in synchronous bus designs where DIR is derived directly from address decode or state machine outputs without inversion logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LS645-1N in a synchronous bus application?
The SN74LS645-1N does not contain internal clock circuitry and is not a clocked device. However, its propagation delay (≤25 ns) and setup/hold timing allow reliable use in synchronous systems operating up to approximately 15 MHz, assuming proper PCB layout, termination, and load capacitance ≤15 pF per output. System-level timing must be verified with actual trace lengths and fan-out.
Does SN74LS645-1N support hot-swap or live-insertion on a powered bus?
No - the SN74LS645-1N lacks built-in hot-swap protection circuitry. While its 3-state outputs can isolate the device when OE is high, applying signal voltages before VCC is stable may cause latch-up or damage. For live-insertion, external protection (e.g., series resistors, TVS diodes, and power sequencing) is required. Always power VCC before applying data signals.
Can SN74LS645-1N be used as a direct replacement for SN74LS245 in an existing design?
SN74LS645-1N shares the same PDIP-20 package and pinout as SN74LS245, but DIR pin logic is inverted: SN74LS645-1N uses active-high DIR, while SN74LS245 uses active-low DIR. To substitute, invert the DIR control signal in firmware or hardware. All other electrical and timing parameters are functionally equivalent, making SN74LS645-1N a viable drop-in replacement with minor logic adjustment.
What is the recommended decoupling for SN74LS645-1N in a high-noise industrial environment?
TI recommends a minimum of one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to pins 20 (VCC) and 10 (GND), with additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 10 µF tantalum) near the power entry point. In noisy environments, add ferrite beads in series with VCC and ground-plane stitching vias adjacent to the SN74LS645-1N footprint to suppress high-frequency coupling. Avoid shared return paths with switching loads.
Is SN74LS645-1N RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - SN74LS645-1N is RoHS compliant and uses NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's packaging addendum, it carries "Yes" in the RoHS column and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-1 requirements. The part marking "SN74LS645-1N" appears on the top surface, and full compliance documentation is available in TI's official product change notices.
