Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ATNSG4 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), TTL-compatible inputs, 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, and Ioff support for partial-power-down mode.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV245ATNSG4 datasheet, SN74LV245ATNSG4 pinout, SN74LV245ATNSG4 application, or SN74LV245ATNSG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing, mixed-mode voltage tolerance across ports, ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and undershoot (VOHV > 2.3 V) performance at 5 V, and compatibility with SSOP-20 (NS package) PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ATNSG4 implements dual-control logic: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE independently places all eight channels into high-impedance state. Its CMOS input structure accepts TTL-level signals, and the Ioff circuitry blocks current backflow when VCC = 0, enabling safe hot insertion in powered-backplane systems.
Electrical behavior is specified across –40°C to 125°C, with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 16 mA and VOH ≥ 3.8 V at IOH = –16 mA under 4.5 V supply. Switching characteristics are characterized at CL = 15 pF and CL = 50 pF, supporting both low-capacitance interconnects and heavier bus loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates supply droop during transient loading. |
| tpd (Typical) | 3.5 ns at 5 V - enables high-speed bidirectional data transfer in memory buffers and peripheral interfaces. |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.8 V / >2.3 V at 5 V - suppresses ground bounce and output undershoot, reducing signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down, critical for modular system hot-swap compliance. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV245ATNSG4 is packaged in SOP-20 (NS package), a surface-mount plastic small-outline package with 20 leads, 0.635 mm pitch, and 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body dimensions. The package supports standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1, 260°C peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low global control: drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when high; must be pulled up to VCC for power-up isolation. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to one bus segment; direction determined by DIR state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V power rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | Port B Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to second bus segment; functionally identical to A-side but electrically isolated. |
| 20 (DIR) | Direction Control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow; determines signal propagation path through internal transceiver matrix. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Bidirectional Operation | Enables real-time data exchange between independent buses without clock synchronization overhead. |
| Mixed-Mode Voltage Support | Allows A and B ports to interface with different logic families (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V peripheral) while maintaining signal integrity. |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP) | Dynamic output ground excursion limited to <0.8 V, minimizing noise coupling into adjacent analog or RF circuits. |
| Partial-Power-Down (Ioff) | Prevents back-current flow when VCC is off, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity requirements (>250 mA). |
| Wide Temperature Range | Full functionality maintained from –40°C to +125°C, validated per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions for automotive use. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); no Ioff; 3.3 V only operation. | Suitable for modern low-voltage embedded systems but incompatible with 5 V buses or hot-swap scenarios. | Select SN74LVC245A only if entire system operates at ≤3.6 V and partial-power-down is not required. |
| 74ACT245 | Higher drive strength (±24 mA); 4.5–5.5 V compatible; no Ioff; higher ICC (20 µA vs. 2 µA typical). | Better for driving heavy capacitive loads but lacks Ioff protection and consumes more quiescent power. | Choose 74ACT245 when fanout exceeds 15 pF and thermal budget permits higher static current. |
Compared with SN74LV245ATNSG4, SN74LVC245A offers lower voltage operation but sacrifices 5 V compatibility and Ioff safety, while 74ACT245 delivers stronger drive at the cost of higher power and no partial-power-down capability - making SN74LV245ATNSG4 optimal for mixed-voltage, hot-pluggable 5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LV245ATNSG4?
The SN74LV245ATNSG4 is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C, with electrical parameters guaranteed across this full range per the SCLS605D datasheet revision D. This rating qualifies it for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does SN74LV245ATNSG4 support 3.3 V logic levels on its A or B ports?
Yes, SN74LV245ATNSG4 supports mixed-mode voltage operation: its inputs accept 3.3 V logic levels (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and outputs drive to valid 3.3 V logic thresholds when VCC = 3.3 V - though SN74LV245ATNSG4 is rated for 4.5–5.5 V VCC only, so external level translation is required for true 3.3 V operation.
How should OE and DIR be biased during power-up to ensure safe startup?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs at power-on, OE must be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability), and DIR may be left floating or pulled to a defined state. The SN74LV245ATNSG4 datasheet explicitly recommends this OE pullup to prevent bus contention during VCC ramp.
Is SN74LV245ATNSG4 pin-compatible with older 74LS245 devices?
No, SN74LV245ATNSG4 is not pin-compatible with 74LS245: while both are 20-pin octal transceivers, SN74LV245ATNSG4 uses SOP-20 (NS) packaging with different pin assignments (e.g., DIR on pin 20, OE on pin 1), whereas 74LS245 typically uses DIP-20 or SOIC-20 with OE on pin 1 and DIR on pin 2. Layout redesign is required.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in SN74LV245ATNSG4?
The Ioff feature in SN74LV245ATNSG4 disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking current backflow from live buses into the unpowered device. This protects against damage during hot-swap events and satisfies JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity requirements, making SN74LV245ATNSG4 suitable for modular backplane architectures.
