Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ANS from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between voltage-domain-isolated buses. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers 6.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, supports mixed-mode voltage translation (e.g., 5 V → 3.3 V), and features Ioff for partial-power-down mode - used in server backplanes and telecom infrastructure I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ANS datasheet, SN74LV245ANS pinout, SN74LV245ANS application, or SN74LV245ANS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOP (NS) package, 3-state bus isolation capability, ±35 mA output drive, latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ANS implements a dual-bus directional control architecture using DIR and OE inputs: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its CMOS design ensures rail-to-rail output swing and overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V) independent of VCC.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V. Noise suppression is achieved via controlled edge rates (20 ns/V min at 5 V), reducing ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V) and undershoot (VOHV > 2.3 V at 3.3 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters |
| tpd (max) | 6.5 ns at VCC = 5 V - enables high-speed bus handshaking in 25-MHz+ applications |
| Ioff Current | ≤5 µA - guarantees safe isolation during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per pin - sufficient for driving 50-pF loads with <11 ns rise/fall times |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade handling requirements without special ESD controls |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature telecom and motor-control environments |
| Input Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows direct connection to 5-V logic while powered from 3.3 V |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV245ANS uses a 20-pin SOP (NS) package measuring 12.60 mm × 5.30 mm, with standard SOIC footprint compatibility and gull-wing leads for reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A - determines real-time bus arbitration path |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all outputs in high-Z - enables bus sharing across multiple drivers |
| A1–A8 (Pins 2–9) | Port A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to local bus; tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to remote bus; fully symmetric with Port A |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents - must be low-inductance connection |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | Single supply for both input and output stages - bypass capacitor required per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Enables interface between 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V buses without external level translators |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug I/O modules |
| Slow edge-rate control | Reduces EMI and signal integrity issues on long PCB traces or unterminated stubs |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5.5-V signals at any valid VCC - simplifies legacy 5-V peripheral integration |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - ensures reliability in noisy industrial power environments |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interface | LED Display Controller I/O 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); faster tpd (5.2 ns @ 3.3 V); no 5-V input tolerance | Suitable only for 3.3-V-only systems; cannot replace SN74LV245ANS in mixed 5-V/3.3-V designs | Select when full 5-V input compatibility is unnecessary and lower supply voltage is mandated |
| 74ALVC245MTCX | Wider VCC (1.65–3.6 V); higher drive (±24 mA); smaller TSSOP-20 package (4.4 × 6.5 mm) | Limited to 3.3-V domains; lacks Ioff and 5-V tolerant inputs - unsuitable for hot-swap or legacy 5-V integration | Choose for space-constrained 3.3-V embedded controllers where thermal performance outweighs voltage flexibility |
Compared with SN74LV245ANS, SN74LVC245APW offers better speed in 3.3-V systems but forfeits 5-V input support, while 74ALVC245MTCX reduces board area yet omits critical mixed-voltage and power-down safety features required in infrastructure equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74LV245ANS at 5 V?
The SN74LV245ANS has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 6.5 ns at VCC = 5 V with CL = 15 pF and TA = –40°C to +125°C. This value is specified under worst-case switching conditions and ensures timing compliance in high-speed bus applications such as server baseboard interfaces.
Does the SN74LV245ANS support 5-V input signals when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74LV245ANS supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on all I/O pins regardless of VCC level. When powered from 3.3 V, it safely accepts 5-V logic signals from legacy peripherals - a key feature enabling seamless integration without external level shifters.
What is the purpose of the Ioff specification for the SN74LV245ANS?
The Ioff specification (≤5 µA) ensures that all outputs are disabled and leakage current is minimized when VCC = 0 V. This protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap events or partial-power-down modes - a critical requirement in modular telecom and server systems using SN74LV245ANS.
Which package type does the SN74LV245ANS use?
The SN74LV245ANS uses a 20-pin SOP (NS) package with dimensions 12.60 mm × 5.30 mm. It is distinct from SSOP (DB), TSSOP (PW), or VQFN variants - this NS variant provides SOIC-compatible footprint and gull-wing lead form for standard reflow assembly.
How does the DIR pin control data flow direction in the SN74LV245ANS?
The DIR pin on the SN74LV245ANS determines real-time data direction: logic high enables transmission from Port A to Port B; logic low enables transmission from Port B to Port A. This bidirectional control allows dynamic bus arbitration without changing hardware connections.
