Product details
Overview
SN74LS645NSR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control between two 8-bit buses in TTL-level systems. It features independent output-enable (OE) and direction (DIR) controls, operates at 0°C to 70°C, supports 20-pin SOP (NS) packaging, and is used in legacy industrial control backplanes and microprocessor system expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS645NSR datasheet, SN74LS645NSR pinout, SN74LS645NSR application, or SN74LS645NSR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated pin assignments, confirmed operating conditions, and real-world use context - all aligned with TI's SDLS189 production data sheet (Rev. March 1988).
Technical Context
The SN74LS645NSR implements dual 8-bit bidirectional bus interface logic using standard TTL circuitry. Its DIR input determines data flow direction (A-to-B or B-to-A), while OE independently places both A- and B-side outputs into high-impedance state. Propagation delay is specified at 22 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) under VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C, and RL = 400 Ω.
It meets LS-TTL electrical compatibility: input thresholds are VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V; output drive capability is IOH = –15 mA and IOL = 24 mA at VCC = 5 V. The device lacks internal clamping diodes or ESD protection beyond standard LS process limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Octal bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs |
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with 74LS-series inputs/outputs and defined noise margins |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V - requires regulated 5 V rail; no wide-VCC support |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns max (A↔B path) - constrains maximum bus clock rate in synchronous designs |
| Output Drive | IOL = 24 mA / IOH = –15 mA - drives standard LS loads without external buffers |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating; not qualified for extended or military temperature ranges |
| Package | SOP-20 (NS) - surface-mount, 0.300" wide body, 12.0 mm × 7.5 mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 20-pin small-outline plastic package with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, 0.300" body width, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; must be stable before enabling outputs |
| 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 internal 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 enables transceiver; High forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional data control | Single DIR pin selects A→B or B→A flow - eliminates need for separate transmit/receive buffers |
| Independent 3-state enable | OE pin disables both A and B ports simultaneously - supports bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation |
| LS-TTL compatible I/O | VIH/VIL, IOH/IOL, and timing match 74LS family - allows drop-in replacement in existing LS designs |
| 20-pin SOP packaging | NS package enables automated SMT assembly and fits standard 0.300"-width PCB footprints |
| Commercial temperature range | 0°C to 70°C operation - suitable for office, lab, and non-harsh industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Microprocessor System Expansion |

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 | Identical function and pinout; differs only in package (PDIP-20 vs SOP-20) and marking format | Same electrical behavior and timing; requires through-hole PCB layout instead of SMT | Select SN74LS245N only if PDIP mounting and manual assembly are preferred over automated SOP placement |
| SN74LS640NSR | Same package and pinout; differs in DIR logic polarity (active-low DIR on SN74LS640 vs active-high on SN74LS645) | Requires inverted direction control signal; otherwise identical bus loading and timing | Choose SN74LS640NSR only when system control logic naturally provides active-low DIR signals |
Compared with SN74LS245N and SN74LS640NSR, the SN74LS645NSR offers native SOP-20 surface-mount compatibility and active-high DIR polarity - simplifying control logic integration and enabling higher-density PCB layouts without requiring signal inversion or mechanical rework.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74LS645NSR?
The SN74LS645NSR is an octal bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs. It enables controlled data flow between two 8-bit buses - either A-to-B or B-to-A - using DIR and OE inputs. Its LS-TTL compatibility, 22 ns propagation delay, and SOP-20 packaging make it suitable for legacy industrial and microprocessor expansion applications where deterministic bus control is required. The SN74LS645NSR remains fully specified per TI's SDLS189 datasheet.
Does the SN74LS645NSR support 3.3 V operation?
No, the SN74LS645NSR is strictly a 5 V device with VCC specification of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. It does not support 3.3 V supply or tolerate 3.3 V logic inputs reliably due to LS-TTL input threshold requirements (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). Using it with 3.3 V systems risks undefined operation or excessive input current. For mixed-voltage designs, level-shifting circuitry or a 3.3 V–compatible transceiver such as SN74LVC245A is required alongside the SN74LS645NSR.
What is the pinout compatibility between SN74LS645NSR and SN74LS245?
The SN74LS645NSR and SN74LS245 share identical pin functions and ordering across all 20 pins, including DIR, OE, A1–A8, B1–B8, VCC, and GND. The only physical difference is package type: SN74LS645NSR uses SOP-20 (NS), while SN74LS245 is commonly offered in PDIP-20 (N) or SOIC-20 (DW). Electrical timing, drive strength, and logic behavior are functionally equivalent - making SN74LS245N a direct functional alternative when through-hole mounting is acceptable.
How does SN74LS645NSR differ from SN74LS640NSR?
The SN74LS645NSR and SN74LS640NSR are pin-compatible octal transceivers in SOP-20 packages, but differ in DIR input polarity: SN74LS645NSR uses active-high DIR (High = A→B), whereas SN74LS640NSR uses active-low DIR (Low = A→B). All other parameters - propagation delay, drive strength, supply range, and OE behavior - are identical. This polarity difference requires corresponding adjustment in control logic; no other hardware or timing changes are needed when substituting SN74LS645NSR for SN74LS640NSR.
Is SN74LS645NSR RoHS compliant?
Yes, SN74LS645NSR is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by TI's packaging documentation: lead finish is NiPdAu (NIPDAU), and the part carries "Yes" in the RoHS column of the official Package Option Addendum. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restricted substances and is suitable for environmentally regulated commercial electronics manufacturing. The SN74LS645NSR also complies with TI's MSL Level-1 rating for unlimited floor life under standard handling conditions.
