Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ADGVR 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 I/O (e.g., 5 V inputs with 3.3 V VCC), and features Ioff partial-power-down protection. It is used in LED display column drivers where level translation and bus isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ADGVR datasheet, SN74LV245ADGVR pinout, SN74LV245ADGVR application, or SN74LV245ADGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TVSOP package, 3-state control via DIR/OE pins, ±35 mA output drive capability, ground-bounce immunity (<0.8 V at 3.3 V), and JESD 22-compliant ESD robustness (2000-V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ADGVR implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by a single DIR input and enabled/disabled by OE. Its CMOS design enables down-translation - inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing 5 V logic to safely drive a 3.3 V bus. The device uses slow edge-rate control to suppress output ringing and undershoot/overshoot.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down, preventing back-current flow when VCC = 0 V. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 114.8 °C/W (TVSOP), and it meets latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD 17 and ESD ratings per JESD 22 (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing without external level shifters. |
| tpd (max) | 6.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for high-speed bus handshaking. |
| Ioff Current | <5 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow during hot-insertion or partial power-down sequences. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per pin - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads across PCB traces or multiple CMOS inputs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - exceeds industrial IEC 61000-4-2 system-level surge immunity baseline requirements. |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.8 V / >2.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V - limits ground bounce and supply undershoot to preserve signal integrity on shared buses. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV245ADGVR is housed in a 20-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), measuring 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. This RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers improved thermal dissipation over standard SOIC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - enables full-duplex bus arbitration without external logic. |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all A/B ports enter high-impedance state - provides bus isolation during reset or standby. |
| 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 - simplifies 5 V-to-3.3 V interface design. |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O terminals | Complementary bidirectional data lines for second bus segment; electrically identical to A-side with matched timing. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | Single-supply rail powering internal logic and output drivers; bypass capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal circuitry - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Inputs accept up to 5.5 V while VCC = 2.3 V–3.6 V - eliminates need for discrete level translators in heterogeneous voltage systems. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Outputs disable automatically when VCC = 0 V - prevents current backflow into powered subsystems during hot-swap or brownout conditions. |
| Slow edge-rate control | Controlled slew rate minimizes overshoot/undershoot and reduces EMI - critical for clean signal integrity on long PCB traces or ribbon cables. |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.3×VCC and VIH = 0.7×VCC thresholds - provides ≥30% noise margin across full VCC range, improving reliability in noisy industrial environments. |
| Thermal robustness | RθJA = 114.8 °C/W (TVSOP) and RθJC(bot) = 56.3 °C/W - enables stable operation at 125°C ambient with minimal derating in compact 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 |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74LV245ADGVR inputs?
The SN74LV245ADGVR inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing between 5 V logic and lower-voltage buses (e.g., 3.3 V or 2.5 V). This overvoltage capability is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all A/B port pins and DIR/OE inputs. The SN74LV245ADGVR does not require external clamping diodes when driven by 5 V sources while operating at 3.3 V VCC.
Does SN74LV245ADGVR support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74LV245ADGVR incorporates Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting off-state current to <5 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow from live buses into unpowered sections - a critical feature for hot-pluggable modules or systems with staggered power sequencing. The SN74LV245ADGVR maintains this protection across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
What is the propagation delay of SN74LV245ADGVR at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, the SN74LV245ADGVR exhibits a typical propagation delay (tpd) of 5.9 ns and a maximum of 11 ns over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is measured between input transition and output crossing 50% of VCC, per Figure 7-1 load circuit. The SN74LV245ADGVR achieves consistent timing across both A→B and B→A directions due to symmetrical internal architecture.
Can SN74LV245ADGVR be used for unidirectional data transfer?
Yes, the SN74LV245ADGVR supports unidirectional operation by holding DIR constant (e.g., DIR = HIGH for A→B only) while using OE to enable/disable the entire transceiver. In this mode, it functions identically to an octal buffer with 3-state outputs - preserving timing, drive strength, and voltage translation capabilities. The SN74LV245ADGVR requires no hardware modification to operate unidirectionally.
What package type is SN74LV245ADGVR supplied in, and what are its dimensions?
The SN74LV245ADGVR is supplied in a 20-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV) with body dimensions of 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm and 0.5 mm lead pitch. Its height is ≤1.2 mm, and it features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1, 260°C peak). The SN74LV245ADGVR's compact footprint reduces PCB area by ~40% versus equivalent SOIC (DW) variants.
