Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ATNS from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between A and B buses in 4.5–5.5 V systems. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and Ioff partial-power-down support.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ATNS datasheet, SN74LV245ATNS pinout, SN74LV245ATNS application, or SN74LV245ATNS equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to SOP-20 (NS), functional truth table behavior, noise performance metrics (VOLP < 0.8 V, VOHV > 2.3 V), and real-world isolation use cases in mixed-voltage bus interfacing.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ATNS implements dual-directional 8-bit data flow controlled by DIR: logic low enables B→A transmission, high enables A→B. OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance state, enabling bus isolation without affecting internal logic states.
Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V while ports remain biased at 0–5.5 V. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) ensure robust TTL-level compatibility across –40°C to 125°C operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports stable operation across industrial-grade supply variation and brown-out resilience. |
| tpd (Typical) | 3.5 ns at 5 V - enables high-speed inter-bus handshaking in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.8 V / >2.3 V at 5 V - minimizes ground bounce and undershoot, critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Ioff Current | <5 μA at 0–5.5 V - guarantees safe partial-power-down in hot-swap and modular subsystem designs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage - accepts standard 0/5 V logic levels without level-shifting, simplifying legacy interface integration. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with ≤9.7 ns max tPLH/tPHL, supporting moderate fanout without buffers. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low global control: drives all A/B outputs to high-Z when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 2 (DIR) | Direction Control | Defines data flow path: low = B→A, high = A→B; no internal pullup/pulldown - must be driven externally. |
| 3–10 (A1–A8) | A-Side Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional port A; high-impedance when OE = high or device powered down (Ioff active). |
| 11 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection near device. |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | B-Side Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional port B; electrically identical to A-side with independent 3-state control per channel. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | 4.5–5.5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Supports A/B ports at different logic levels (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V peripheral) without external level shifters. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V but A/B lines remain live - essential for hot-plug and modular backplanes. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at 5 V ensures clean low-state transitions even under heavy capacitive loading, reducing EMI risk. |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - eliminates destructive latch-up failure in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |
| ESD robustness | 2000-V HBM / 1000-V CDM - withstands handling and system-level ESD events without protection diodes. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), 3.3 V native logic - no 5 V tolerance on inputs/outputs. | Requires level shifting for 5 V systems; suited for low-voltage portable or battery-powered designs only. | Select only if migrating fully to 3.3 V infrastructure; not drop-in for existing 5 V SN74LV245ATNS designs. |
| 74ACT245 | Higher speed (2.5 ns tpd), 5 V-only operation, no Ioff, higher ICC (40 μA vs. 2 μA), no mixed-voltage support. | Lacks partial-power-down capability and fails latch-up testing beyond JESD17 limits. | Use where absolute minimum propagation delay is critical and power sequencing is tightly controlled; avoid in hot-swap or mixed-rail systems. |
Compared with SN74LV245ATNS, SN74LVC245A offers lower voltage operation but sacrifices 5 V interoperability, while 74ACT245 delivers faster timing at the cost of thermal and safety margins - making SN74LV245ATNS the balanced choice for industrial 5 V bus isolation with robustness and flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LV245ATNS?
The SN74LV245ATNS is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting extended temperature requirements for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and confirmed in the SCLS605D datasheet revision D (July 2013).
Does SN74LV245ATNS support true 5 V TTL input compatibility?
Yes, SN74LV245ATNS explicitly supports TTL-voltage-compatible inputs: VIH = 2 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max across 4.5–5.5 V VCC, allowing direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level translation or external biasing networks.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74LV245ATNS during power-down?
In SN74LV245ATNS, the Ioff circuitry disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to <5 μA even if A/B port voltages range from 0 to 5.5 V - preventing backflow current that could damage upstream drivers or disrupt adjacent powered subsystems.
What is the recommended decoupling for SN74LV245ATNS?
Texas Instruments specifies a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the VCC pin (pin 20) and GND pin (pin 11) for SN74LV245ATNS. Additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 4.7 μF tantalum) is advised per board section per SCLS605D layout guidelines.
Is SN74LV245ATNS pin-compatible with other packages of the same part number?
Yes - all SN74LV245AT variants (DB, DGV, DW, NS, PW, RGY) share identical 20-pin functionality and signal mapping per the logic diagram and pinout tables in SCLS605D; only mechanical dimensions, thermal resistance, and soldering profiles differ between SOP-20 (NS), TSSOP-20 (PW), and VQFN-20 (RGY) packages.
