Product details
Overview
SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs and integrated logic-level translation. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, supports bidirectional up/down voltage translation (e.g., 1.2 V ↔ 1.8 V, 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V), delivers ≤11 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and features 5.5 V-tolerant inputs - used in automotive infotainment domain controllers for interfacing mixed-voltage peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 datasheet, SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 pinout, SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 application, or SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive qualification (–40°C to +125°C), wettable-flank TSSOP-20 package compatibility with AOI, 3-state output control via DIR/OE, and verified level-shifting performance across 1.8/2.5/3.3/5 V CMOS domains.
Technical Context
The device implements dual-rail bidirectional translation using shared DIR and OE control logic: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE globally enables/disables all eight channels into high-impedance state. Its LVxT input structure provides reduced VIH/VIL thresholds for reliable up-translation and 5.5 V tolerance for down-translation without external components.
Each channel uses balanced CMOS 3-state drivers capable of ±15 mA output current at 3.3–5 V, with propagation delays ranging from 4.5 ns (5 V, CL = 15 pF) to 25.1 ns (1.8 V, CL = 15 pF). Latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD17, and thermal resistance (RθJA) is 122.3°C/W in the PW (TSSOP-20) package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without external regulators |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 4.5 ns (min) at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables >150 Mbps signal integrity in high-speed automotive serial links |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 5.5 V - allows direct connection of 5 V signals to lower-VCC systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU) without clamping diodes or resistors |
| Output Drive Strength | ±15 mA at 3.3–5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads with controlled edge rates |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (Grade 1) - qualified for engine bay, ADAS sensor hubs, and body control modules |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±4 kV, CDM ±2 kV - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for automotive assembly and field operation |
| Power Dissipation Cap | CPD = 16 pF - determines dynamic power as PD = VCC² × f × (CPD + CL), critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 is packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) with 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI), and thermal pad connected to GND or left floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B - enables bidirectional bus arbitration with single control line |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable (active low) | Pull-up to VCC ensures high-impedance during power-up; disables all eight channels simultaneously |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Positive supply | Reference for output voltage levels and input thresholds - sets translation target (e.g., 3.3 V out when VCC = 3.3 V) |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply currents; required for stable threshold referencing |
| A1–A8 (Pins 2–9) | Port A I/O channels | Eight bidirectional data lines tied to one voltage domain (e.g., 1.8 V MCU side) |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | Port B I/O channels | Eight bidirectional data lines tied to second voltage domain (e.g., 5 V sensor interface) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Single-supply bidirectional level shifting | Eliminates need for dual supplies or discrete MOSFET translators in mixed-voltage automotive buses |
| Wettable flank TSSOP package | Enables reliable solder-joint inspection via AOI - critical for zero-defect manufacturing in Tier 1 production |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC8T245QPWRQ1 | Narrower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); no 5 V tolerance; lower max speed (100 Mbps) | Suitable only for 1.8/2.5/3.3 V-only systems; not usable where 5 V inputs exist | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 5 V tolerance need and full 5.5 V operation is unnecessary |
| TXS0108EPWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); higher ICC (up to 80 µA); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Requires no direction control logic but lacks automotive temperature rating and fails AEC-Q100 stress tests | Use in non-automotive industrial or consumer designs where auto-bidirectional operation simplifies firmware |
Compared with SN74LVC8T245QPWRQ1 and TXS0108EPWR, SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 5.5 V input tolerance, and 150 Mbps capability in a wettable-flank TSSOP - making it the only drop-in solution for safety-critical automotive mixed-voltage interconnects requiring production traceability and thermal reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1?
SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 supports up to 150 Mbps with 5 V or 3.3 V VCC, validated by switching characteristics showing tPD ≤ 5.3 ns (5 V, CL = 50 pF) and tPD ≤ 8.8 ns (3.3 V, CL = 50 pF). This enables reliable use in high-speed automotive serial buses such as SENT, PSI5, and proprietary sensor interfaces where timing margins are tight.
Does SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins?
OE should be pulled up to VCC via a 10-kΩ resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up; DIR has no internal pull-up and must be actively driven by the host controller. SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 does not integrate pull-ups on either control pin, so external biasing is required for fail-safe reset behavior in automotive systems.
Can SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 translate 1.2 V signals to 3.3 V outputs?
Yes - SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 supports 1.2 V to 1.8 V up-translation per its LVxT input structure, but 1.2 V → 3.3 V is not specified. Valid up-translation paths are 1.2 V → 1.8 V (VCC = 1.8 V), 1.8 V → 3.3 V (VCC = 3.3 V), and 2.5 V → 5.0 V (VCC = 5.0 V). For 1.2 V → 3.3 V, two-stage translation or alternate devices are required.
Is the thermal pad on SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 (TSSOP-20) required to be connected?
No - the thermal pad on SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 in the PW (TSSOP-20) package is not present; only the RKS (VQFN) variant includes a thermal pad. The TSSOP-20 package relies on lead-frame conduction, and its RθJA is specified at 122.3°C/W with standard JEDEC PCB mounting conditions.
How does SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 handle unused input pins?
All unused inputs of SN74LV8T245QPWRQ1 must be held at VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause excessive ICC and potential oscillation. TI recommends 10-kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors for unconnected A/B channel pins, DIR, or OE - especially critical in automotive environments where EMI and temperature extremes increase susceptibility to noise-induced malfunction.
