Product details
Overview
SN74LV245ATPW 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 SN74LV245ATPW datasheet, SN74LV245ATPW pinout, SN74LV245ATPW application, or SN74LV245ATPW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated TSSOP-20 pin mapping, confirmed 125°C industrial temperature rating, and real-world interface isolation use cases - all grounded in TI's SCLS605D revision D documentation.
Technical Context
The SN74LV245ATPW implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR: logic low enables B→A transmission, high enables A→B. OE independently places all eight channels into high-impedance state, enabling bus isolation without signal contention.
It supports mixed-mode voltage operation across all ports and includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, meeting JESD 17 latch-up (>250 mA) and JESD 22 ESD standards (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).
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 ripple. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.5 ns typical at 5 V - enables high-speed data transfer in timing-critical interconnects. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate PCB trace capacitance. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Ioff Current | <5 μA at 0–5.5 V - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down sequencing. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V VIH/VIL thresholds while operating on 5 V supply. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at 5 V - reduces noise coupling during simultaneous output switching. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 20-pin thin shrink small-outline package, 0.65 mm pitch, 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, exposed thermal pad not present (non-VQFN). Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: drives all outputs to high-Z when high; must be pulled up to VCC for safe power-up. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs - connect to upstream bus or controller side. |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| 11 | VCC | Supply voltage input - bypass with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 12–19 | B1–B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs - connect to downstream bus or peripheral side. |
| 20 | DIR (Direction Control) | Controls data flow direction: low = B→A, high = A→B - no internal pullup/pulldown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous bidirectional data routing | Enables flexible A↔B bus bridging without clock synchronization or FIFO buffering. |
| 3-state output isolation | Prevents bus contention during hot-swap, reset, or multi-master arbitration scenarios. |
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | Allows interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V domains on A/B ports without level shifters. |
| Partial-power-down support (Ioff) | Permits one side of a system to power down while maintaining isolation and preventing backfeed. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) & undershoot (VOHV) | Reduces signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module Bus Bridge |

Use Value: 3.5 ns tpd preserves timing margins in 20+ MHz pixel clock domains; low VOLP minimizes jitter on analog-sensitive boards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (2.1 ns tpd), no Ioff support | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; unsuitable for 5 V or mixed-voltage operation | Select only if operating strictly within 1.65–3.6 V and requiring sub-3 ns timing. |
| 74ALVC245PW | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 2.5 ns tpd, supports 3.6 V absolute max, no Ioff | Lacks partial-power-down protection; limited to 3.6 V max supply | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3 V designs where Ioff is not required and 125°C rating is secondary. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW, the SN74LV245ATPW uniquely supports 4.5–5.5 V operation, 125°C extended temperature, and Ioff - making it the only option for robust 5 V industrial bus isolation with safe power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74LV245ATPW?
The SN74LV245ATPW is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, as confirmed in TI's SCLS605D revision D datasheet under Recommended Operating Conditions. This extended range qualifies it for under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinet applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does the SN74LV245ATPW support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, the SN74LV245ATPW includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down, limiting Ioff to ≤5 μA across 0–5.5 V. This prevents damaging current backflow when VCC is inactive while A/B ports remain biased - a key requirement for hot-swap and modular system architectures.
Can the SN74LV245ATPW interface between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes, the SN74LV245ATPW supports mixed-mode voltage operation on all ports: its TTL-compatible inputs accept 3.3 V signals directly, and outputs drive both 3.3 V and 5 V loads. No external level shifters are needed when connecting 3.3 V MCUs to 5 V peripherals via the A/B buses.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for the SN74LV245ATPW?
To ensure high-impedance state at power-up, OE must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI specifies minimum resistor value based on driver sink capability; a 10 kΩ resistor is commonly used. DIR may be left floating only if direction is fixed externally - otherwise, tie to defined logic level.
Is the SN74LV245ATPW pin-compatible with other TSSOP-20 octal transceivers?
No - while SN74LV245ATPW shares the TSSOP-20 footprint with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW, pin functions differ: DIR and OE positions match, but voltage ratings and Ioff behavior are not interchangeable. Substitution requires validation of supply range, timing, and power-down behavior in the target design.
