Product details
Overview
SN74LS645-1NSR 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 SN74LS645-1NSR datasheet, SN74LS645-1NSR pinout, SN74LS645-1NSR application, or SN74LS645-1NSR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state output drive capability, DIR/OE dual-control logic, SOP-20 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly, and guaranteed DC electrical specs per SDLS189 (March 1988).
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit bidirectional buffers within a single 20-pin SOP package, each with separate DIR and OE inputs enabling flexible bus arbitration. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive (IOH = –15 mA, IOL = 24 mA) ensure interoperability with standard LS-TTL logic families.
The 3-state outputs support high-impedance disconnection during bus contention or power-down sequences, while the DIR pin determines data flow direction per nibble - low for A-to-B, high for B-to-A - without internal latching or clocking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL: ensures direct compatibility with 74LS-series systems without level translation. |
| Data Width | Octal (8-bit): supports full byte-wide parallel bus transfer between two subsystems. |
| Output Type | 3-state non-inverting: enables shared bus operation with multiple drivers via OE control. |
| Direction Control | DIR pin per 4-bit group: allows independent forward/reverse data routing for A/B ports. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.75–5.25 V: tight tolerance ensures stable operation under noisy industrial rail conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C: validated for commercial-grade embedded equipment, not extended/military range. |
| Package | SOP-20 (NS): surface-mount, 0.300" wide body, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 0.300" wide body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, tape-and-reel delivery (2000 pcs/reel), Q1 pin-1 quadrant orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR1) | Direction control - lower nibble | Low = A→B data flow; High = B→A; sets path direction independently of OE. |
| 2–5 (A0–A3) | Input/output port A - lower nibble | Bidirectional I/O pins tied to local subsystem; driven only when OE active and DIR set. |
| 6 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary signal return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 7–10 (B0–B3) | Input/output port B - lower nibble | Bidirectional I/O pins tied to remote bus; function mirrors A0–A3 based on DIR1 state. |
| 11 (OE1) | Output enable - lower nibble | Active-low: disables both A0–A3 and B0–B3 outputs to high-impedance when high. |
| 12–15 (A4–A7) | Input/output port A - upper nibble | Second 4-bit bidirectional group, controlled by DIR2 (pin 19) and OE2 (pin 18). |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal power rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 17–20 (B4–B7) | Input/output port B - upper nibble | Second 4-bit bidirectional group, functionally identical to B0–B3 but controlled separately. |
| 18 (OE2) | Output enable - upper nibble | Active-low enable for A4–A7/B4–B7; allows independent gating of upper byte. |
| 19 (DIR2) | Direction control - upper nibble | Independent DIR signal for upper nibble; enables split-direction operation across byte boundary. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit transceivers | Enables simultaneous or asymmetric data routing: e.g., A→B on lower nibble while B→A on upper nibble. |
| Separate DIR and OE per nibble | Permits fine-grained bus arbitration without external logic; eliminates need for discrete direction latches. |
| 3-state outputs with TTL drive strength | IOL = 24 mA / IOH = –15 mA supports direct driving of multiple LS-TTL inputs without buffers. |
| SOP-20 RoHS-compliant packaging | Surface-mount footprint compatible with standard 0.65 mm pitch reflow profiles; MSL Level-1 simplifies handling. |
| Validated commercial temperature range | 0°C to 70°C operation confirmed per SDLS189 test conditions; suitable for office/industrial enclosures. |

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 | Single-direction DIR control (global), no per-nibble OE; PDIP-20 only. | Lacks independent nibble gating; requires external logic for split-byte arbitration. | Choose when system uses uniform direction per transaction and SOP packaging is not required. |
| SN74LS640NSR | Identical SOP-20 package and pinout; differs in DIR logic polarity (active-high vs. SN74LS645's active-low DIR). | Requires inverted DIR signal routing; otherwise drop-in replacement for same physical layout. | Choose when existing design already routes active-high direction control and board revision is constrained. |
Compared with SN74LS245N, SN74LS645-1NSR offers finer bus control granularity via dual DIR/OE pairs but at higher gate count cost; compared with SN74LS640NSR, it provides complementary direction logic enabling direct integration with active-low control buses without inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by SN74LS645-1NSR?
The SN74LS645-1NSR is a static logic device with no internal clock; its usable data rate depends on external system timing. Per SDLS189, propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) is 15 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 10 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance bus environments. SN74LS645-1NSR does not specify AC characteristics beyond DC and switching parameters.
Can SN74LS645-1NSR replace SN74LS640NSR in an existing design?
SN74LS645-1NSR can replace SN74LS640NSR only if the direction-control logic is inverted: SN74LS645-1NSR uses active-low DIR (low = A→B), whereas SN74LS640NSR uses active-high DIR. The pinout, package, and 3-state behavior are identical. SN74LS645-1NSR requires upstream signal inversion or redesign of DIR drive circuitry to maintain functional equivalence.
Does SN74LS645-1NSR support mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V logic)?
No. SN74LS645-1NSR is strictly a 5 V TTL device with VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum. Driving its inputs from 3.3 V logic may result in marginal or unreliable recognition of HIGH states. SN74LS645-1NSR requires level-shifting circuitry (e.g., SN74LVC245) for safe interfacing with sub-5 V systems.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74LS645-1NSR?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (pin 16) and GND (pin 6) terminals is mandatory per SDLS189 guidelines. This minimizes supply rail noise induced by simultaneous output switching of all eight drivers. SN74LS645-1NSR exhibits high transient current demand during 3-state transitions, making localized decoupling essential for signal integrity.
Is SN74LS645-1NSR pin-compatible with newer CMOS equivalents like SN74HC245?
No. Although both are octal transceivers, SN74LS645-1NSR (SOP-20, LS-TTL) and SN74HC245 (SOIC-20, HC-CMOS) differ in pin function assignment: SN74HC245 uses a single DIR and single OE, while SN74LS645-1NSR has two DIR/OE pairs. Their electrical characteristics (voltage levels, drive strength, timing) are also incompatible without interface conditioning. SN74LS645-1NSR cannot be substituted directly.
