Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ANSR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between voltage-divergent buses (e.g., 5 V ↔ 3.3 V). It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ≤6.5 ns propagation delay at 5 V, supports Ioff partial-power-down mode, and features ±35 mA output drive per pin - used in server backplanes and LED display controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ANSR datasheet, SN74LV245ANSR pinout, SN74LV245ANSR application, or SN74LV245ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include mixed-mode voltage tolerance, 3-state isolation timing (ten/tdis), ground-bounce suppression (<0.8 V at 3.3 V), and SOP-20 package compatibility with legacy SO footprints.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ANSR implements dual-bus directional control via DIR input and global 3-state enable via OE, enabling A→B or B→A data flow with bus isolation when OE is high. Its CMOS design includes overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC) and Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current.
It exhibits low-noise switching behavior: typical VOLP (ground bounce) <0.8 V and VOHV (VOH undershoot) >2.3 V at 3.3 V/25°C, with slow edge rates minimizing ringing on light loads. Thermal resistance RθJA is 101.1°C/W in its NS (SO) package, supporting operation from –40°C to 125°C.
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 timing margin in high-speed control paths. |
| Ioff Current | ≤5 µA at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe partial-power-down in hot-swap or multi-rail systems. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per pin - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and telecom base station line cards. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV245ANSR uses a 20-pin SOP (NS) package measuring 12.60 mm × 5.30 mm, with standard SOIC footprint compatibility and 1.27 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead-finished, and MSL Level-1 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | Low = B-to-A data flow; High = A-to-B data flow - determines real-time bus directionality. |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all A/B ports enter high-impedance state - enables bus sharing and isolation. |
| A1–A8 (Pins 2–9) | Port A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data interface for one bus segment; tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data interface for second bus segment; electrically isolated from Port A when OE is high. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | Single supply for both input and output stages; no separate IOVDD required. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Ports accept 0–5.5 V inputs independent of VCC - eliminates external level translators in 3.3 V ↔ 5 V interconnects. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Outputs disable automatically when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed current in powered-down subsystems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at 3.3 V/25°C - reduces signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes. |
| Slow edge rate control | Controlled dV/dt minimizes overshoot/undershoot - avoids termination resistors in short-run bus traces. |
| High ESD immunity | 2000-V HBM rating - sustains factory handling and field maintenance without gate oxide damage. |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interface | LED Display Column Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional communication between CPU module and peripheral expansion slots in 1U rack servers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus transceiver isolating control/data lanes between 5 V management controller and 3.3 V PCIe switch fabric.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); faster tpd (5.3 ns @ 3.3 V); no 5 V tolerant inputs. | Restricted to 3.3 V-only systems; unsuitable for 5 V ↔ 3.3 V translation. | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and maximum speed is critical. |
| 74ALVC245 | Wider VCC (1.65–3.6 V); higher drive (±24 mA); lower ICC (10 µA); no Ioff. | Lacks partial-power-down capability; not rated for 125°C operation. | Prefer for battery-powered portable devices where quiescent current dominates thermal budget. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and 74ALVC245, the SN74LV245ANSR uniquely supports 5 V-tolerant inputs across its full 2–5.5 V VCC range and guarantees Ioff functionality for hot-swap compliance - making it the only choice for mixed-voltage industrial backplanes requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74LV245ANSR at 3.3 V?
The SN74LV245ANSR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 11 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF, and TA = –40°C to 125°C. This value is specified in Section 6.7 of the TI datasheet SCLS382R and reflects worst-case timing across temperature and voltage extremes - critical for synchronous bus timing closure in industrial control systems where the SN74LV245ANSR is deployed.
Does the SN74LV245ANSR support 5 V logic inputs when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74LV245ANSR supports 5.5 V-tolerant inputs regardless of VCC setting. When powered at 3.3 V, its A and B port inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V without damage or clamping, enabling direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals - a core feature confirmed in Section 8.3 and Table 6.3 of the official datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74LV245ANSR in its NS package?
The SN74LV245ANSR in the SOP-20 (NS) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 101.1°C/W, as specified in Section 6.4 of the TI datasheet. This value assumes JEDEC-standard PCB mounting (2s2p copper layers) and is essential for thermal design validation in enclosed enclosures like telecom line cards where the SN74LV245ANSR operates continuously at 125°C ambient.
Can the SN74LV245ANSR be used in partial-power-down applications?
Yes, the SN74LV245ANSR includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting off-state current to ≤5 µA. This feature is explicitly validated per JESD78 and enables safe use in hot-plug systems such as modular server blades - a requirement directly addressed in Section 8.1 and Table 6.5 of the SN74LV245ANSR datasheet.
What package variant does SN74LV245ANSR use, and is it compatible with standard SOIC footprints?
The SN74LV245ANSR uses the SOP-20 (NS) package, measuring 12.60 mm × 5.30 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch. It is mechanically and solder-reflow compatible with industry-standard SOIC-20 footprints, including pin 1 quadrant alignment (Q1) and tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel), as documented in TI's Package Option Addendum for SN74LV245ANSR.
