Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ADBR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between voltage domains. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers 6.5 ns maximum propagation delay at 5 V, supports mixed-mode voltage translation (e.g., 5 V → 3.3 V), and features Ioff for partial-power-down isolation. It is used in server backplanes and LED display controllers where bus contention avoidance and ground-bounce control are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ADBR datasheet, SN74LV245ADBR pinout, SN74LV245ADBR application, or SN74LV245ADBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SSOP (DB) package, direction-controlled bidirectional flow, 3-state output enable timing (ten/tdis), and Ioff-enabled power-down safety in hot-swap systems.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ADBR implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with DIR-controlled signal directionality and OE-gated 3-state output control. Its logic diagram shows symmetrical A↔B port buffering with independent input thresholds tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level.
It uses low-drive CMOS output stages with intentionally slow edge rates (20–200 ns/V input transition rate dependence) to suppress ringing and undershoot/overshoot-verified by typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2.3 V at 3.3 V. Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during VCC = 0, preventing back-current flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| tpd (max) | 6.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures sub-150 MHz bus operation with timing margin |
| Ioff Current | ≤5 µA at VCC = 0 - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down or hot insertion |
| VIH/VIL Thresholds | VCC × 0.7 / VCC × 0.3 - provides noise-immune switching with hysteresis-like robustness |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade handling requirements without external protection |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient for driving 50-pF loads across PCB traces or multiple CMOS inputs |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 113.1 °C/W (DB package) - defines derating curve for continuous 70 mA total output current |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV245ADBR is packaged in a 20-pin SSOP (DB) with 0.65 mm pitch, body size 7.20 mm × 5.30 mm, and exposed pad omitted. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow - determines real-time bus arbitration path |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable input | Low = active transceiver; High = high-impedance isolation - critical for bus sharing and power sequencing |
| A1–A8 (Pins 2–9) | Port A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to one bus segment; tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to second bus segment; electrically isolated when OE = high |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | Supplies internal logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Accepts 0–5.5 V inputs at any VCC (2–5.5 V), enabling direct 5 V-to-3.3 V down-translation without external components |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0, allowing safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and modular systems |
| Controlled edge rates | Input transition rate limits (20–200 ns/V) reduce EMI and eliminate overshoot on unterminated traces |
| High-impedance state control | OE-driven 3-state outputs provide deterministic bus isolation with <1 ns disable skew across all 16 lines |
| Robust ESD immunity | 2000-V HBM rating eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes in most industrial enclosure environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); faster tpd (5.3 ns @ 3.3 V); no Ioff | Not suitable for mixed 5 V/3.3 V systems or hot-swap isolation | Select only for pure 3.3 V designs requiring higher speed and lower static current |
| SN74ALVC245 | Wider VCC (1.65–3.6 V); higher drive (±24 mA); no Ioff; higher noise immunity | Lacks 5 V-tolerant inputs and power-down blocking capability | Prefer for high-speed 3.3 V buses with heavy capacitive loading, but not for voltage translation or partial power-down |
Compared with 74LVC245A and SN74ALVC245, the SN74LV245ADBR uniquely supports 2–5.5 V operation with 5.5 V-tolerant inputs and Ioff, making it the only choice for robust mixed-voltage backplane interfacing and hot-pluggable subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LV245ADBR?
The SN74LV245ADBR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, validated per JEDEC JESD78 reliability testing. This extended range supports deployment in industrial motor drives and telecom infrastructure where thermal margins exceed commercial-grade limits. The DB package's RθJA of 113.1 °C/W defines safe power dissipation under natural convection conditions.
Does SN74LV245ADBR support 5 V to 3.3 V level translation?
Yes, SN74LV245ADBR supports true 5 V-to-3.3 V down-translation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting, and outputs swing rail-to-rail within the applied VCC (e.g., 0–3.3 V when VCC = 3.3 V). This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems like FPGA-to-peripheral interfaces.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74LV245ADBR?
The Ioff feature in SN74LV245ADBR disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ≤5 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow from live buses into unpowered sections-critical for hot-swap compliance in modular servers and field-replaceable units. Ioff activates automatically; no external control is needed.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74LV245ADBR?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (Pin 20) and GND (Pin 10) pins of SN74LV245ADBR. For systems with shared power rails, adding a parallel 1 µF capacitor improves low-frequency decoupling. This mitigates ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and ensures stable switching at full speed.
Can SN74LV245ADBR drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz?
Yes, SN74LV245ADBR can reliably drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz: its typical propagation delay is 7.5 ns at VCC = 5 V and CL = 50 pF, and its power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) is 25 pF, resulting in <1.25 mW dynamic power per channel. Layout best practices (short traces, ground plane) ensure signal integrity without termination.
