Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ANSRG4 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 propagation delay at 5 V, supports mixed-mode voltage translation (e.g., 5 V → 3.3 V), and features Ioff for partial-power-down protection. It is used in LED display column drivers where level-shifting and bus isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ANSRG4 datasheet, SN74LV245ANSRG4 pinout, SN74LV245ANSRG4 application, or SN74LV245ANSRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, thermal metrics for TSSOP-20, confirmed 3-state timing behavior across VCC = 2.5/3.3/5 V, and validated alternatives for bus interface redesigns requiring low ground bounce and ESD-hardened operation.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ANSRG4 implements dual-bus bidirectional data routing controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its CMOS design enables true 2-V–5.5-V operation with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC), allowing safe interfacing between disparate logic families.
It integrates Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current, and exhibits low dynamic noise: typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2.3 V at 3.3 V/25°C. Switching characteristics are specified across –40°C to 125°C with load capacitances of 15 pF and 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface between 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without external 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 isolation during hot-swap or partial power-down without sinking damaging current. |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.8 V / >2.3 V at 3.3 V - reduces signal integrity risk from ground bounce and undershoot on shared PCB traces. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 1000 V CDM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional board-level protection. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive lighting controllers and telecom line cards. |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; determines bus directionality without software intervention. |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable input | Low = transceiver active; High = all A/B ports enter high-impedance state for bus arbitration or isolation. |
| 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 setting. |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to remote bus; same voltage tolerance and drive strength as Port A. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Enables 5 V microcontroller to safely drive 3.3 V FPGA I/O banks via A→B translation without external resistors or translators. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V, critical for hot-pluggable modules and battery-backed subsystems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise on shared ground planes, improving ADC accuracy in mixed-signal LED driver boards. |
| Slow edge rate control | Minimizes overshoot/undershoot on long PCB traces, eliminating need for series termination resistors in 10–20 cm interconnects. |
| 125°C operating rating | Supports deployment in enclosed LED streetlight housings and industrial network switch chassis without derating. |

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 min (1.65 V), higher drive (24 mA vs. 16 mA @ 3.3 V), no Ioff | Not suitable for partial-power-down systems; requires external pull-ups on OE for safe power sequencing | Select when operating below 2 V or needing higher drive; avoid if hot-swap isolation is required. |
| 74ALVC245 | Faster tpd (3.2 ns @ 3.3 V), higher ICC (40 µA vs. 20 µA), no Ioff, 1.65–3.6 V only | Limited to 3.3 V systems; lacks mixed-voltage tolerance and fails Ioff requirement for powered-down isolation | Choose for speed-critical 3.3 V-only designs; reject for mixed-voltage or hot-swap use cases. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and 74ALVC245, SN74LV245ANSRG4 uniquely combines 2–5.5 V operation, Ioff-enabled power-down safety, and robust 125°C qualification-making it the only option among the three for automotive LED lighting and industrial backplane isolation where voltage domain bridging and fail-safe shutdown are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of SN74LV245ANSRG4 at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of SN74LV245ANSRG4 is 11 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF, and TA = –40°C to 125°C. This value is measured from DIR or data input to opposite-port output under worst-case conditions and ensures timing compliance in high-density LED display column drivers where signal skew must remain below 15 ns across all eight lanes. SN74LV245ANSRG4 maintains this spec across its full industrial temperature range.
Does SN74LV245ANSRG4 support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, SN74LV245ANSRG4 supports partial-power-down mode via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current flow to ≤5 µA regardless of input/output voltage (0–5.5 V), preventing damaging backflow during hot-swap events. This capability is explicitly validated in TI's SCLS382R datasheet Section 6.5 and makes SN74LV245ANSRG4 suitable for modular telecom line cards and battery-backed industrial controllers where subsystems power up/down independently.
What package type is SN74LV245ANSRG4 shipped in?
SN74LV245ANSRG4 is supplied in a TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and NiPdAu lead finish. It is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, and shipped in 2000-piece tape-and-reel format (reel diameter 330 mm, width 16.4 mm). The package drawing code PW is confirmed in TI's official Package Option Addendum dated July 2023.
Can SN74LV245ANSRG4 translate 5 V signals to a 3.3 V bus?
Yes, SN74LV245ANSRG4 supports down-translation from 5 V to 3.3 V. Its inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing a 5 V microcontroller to drive SN74LV245ANSRG4's A-port while VCC = 3.3 V powers the B-port outputs. This is confirmed in Section 8.3 ("Feature Description") and Table 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the TI datasheet, making SN74LV245ANSRG4 ideal for legacy-to-modern interface bridging without external components.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LV245ANSRG4 in TSSOP-20?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LV245ANSRG4 in the TSSOP-20 (PW) package is 101.5°C/W, as specified in Section 6.4 of the TI datasheet (SCLS382R, July 2023 revision). This value assumes JEDEC-standard PCB mounting (2-layer board, 1 in² copper pad). For continuous 16 mA per output operation at 125°C ambient, the calculated die temperature remains within safe limits (<150°C), confirming suitability for enclosed LED driver enclosures.
