Product details
Overview
SN74LVC245ADGVR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between 1.65-V to 3.6-V buses. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), 8 I/O channels per side, 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and 5.5-V-tolerant inputs - enabling use in mixed-voltage systems such as 5-V microcontroller interfacing with 3.3-V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC245ADGVR datasheet, SN74LVC245ADGVR pinout, SN74LVC245ADGVR application, or SN74LVC245ADGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (5 V ↔ 3.3 V), Ioff support for live insertion, 3-state isolation timing (ten/tdis), and TVSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-bus, bidirectional transceiver architecture with independent DIR and OE controls. Its CMOS design supports mixed-mode signal operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling robust level-shifting without external components. The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during partial power-down, preventing back-drive current.
Functional modes are strictly defined by OE and DIR logic: OE = low enables bidirectional flow (DIR = high → A→B; DIR = low → B→A); OE = high forces all outputs into high-impedance state. No internal latching or clocking - purely combinatorial data path with propagation delay dependent on load capacitance and supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V sources without level-shifters in mixed-voltage systems |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing compliance in high-speed bus interfaces up to ~80 MHz |
| Ioff Support | Active during power-down - blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling hot-plug and partial-power-down system designs |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and operation |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC245ADGVR uses the TVSOP-20 (DGV) package: 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65-mm lead pitch, 20-pin surface-mount with exposed pad (no thermal pad connection required per datasheet). Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation for DB/DGV/DW/N/NS/PW/RGY packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - determines real-time bus directionality |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Transceiver I/O Port A | Bidirectional data pins connected to source bus (e.g., MCU or FPGA); tolerate 5.5 V inputs |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Transceiver I/O Port B | Bidirectional data pins connected to destination bus (e.g., peripheral or memory); same voltage tolerance as A-side |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Low = enable transceiver; High = force all A/B pins into high-impedance state - critical for bus arbitration |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.65–3.6 V); requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Enables direct interface between 5-V logic and 1.65–3.6-V systems without external translators or resistors |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents damaging back-current when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-swap and modular system architectures |
| 3-state output isolation | OE-controlled high-impedance state eliminates bus contention during multi-master or shared-bus operation |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Reduces switching noise coupling into sensitive analog sections when driving heavy capacitive loads |
| Latch-up immunity > 250 mA | Guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD events per JESD17 standards |

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 | TSSOP-20 package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm); identical electrical specs and pinout | Slightly larger footprint; better thermal dissipation but lower density than TVSOP | Select when board layout allows marginally larger package and enhanced thermal performance is prioritized |

FAQ
What voltage levels can SN74LVC245ADGVR safely interface between?
SN74LVC245ADGVR supports bidirectional level translation between 5-V and 1.65–3.6-V systems. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting, allowing direct connection to 5-V sources while driving 3.3-V or 1.8-V loads. This makes SN74LVC245ADGVR ideal for bridging legacy 5-V peripherals with modern low-voltage controllers without external components.
Does SN74LVC245ADGVR support hot-plug or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, SN74LVC245ADGVR includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current flow during live insertion or partial power-down. This feature is explicitly characterized and guaranteed per JESD78, making SN74LVC245ADGVR suitable for modular systems where boards may be inserted or removed while other sections remain powered.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SN74LVC245ADGVR?
SN74LVC245ADGVR does not specify a fixed data rate but delivers a maximum propagation delay of 6.3 ns at 3.3 V with 50-pF load. This corresponds to usable operation up to approximately 80 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance bus configurations. Actual achievable rate depends on trace length, load capacitance, and noise margin - SN74LVC245ADGVR is optimized for asynchronous parallel bus applications rather than serial protocols.
How should unused inputs be handled on SN74LVC245ADGVR?
All unused inputs on SN74LVC245ADGVR - including DIR and OE - must be tied to a valid logic level (VCC or GND) to prevent floating states that cause excessive current draw or undefined operation. TI recommends pull-up resistors on OE for default high-impedance startup, and fixed logic levels on DIR based on required data flow direction. Floating inputs violate recommended operating conditions and risk latch-up.
Is SN74LVC245ADGVR pin-compatible with other LVC245 variants?
SN74LVC245ADGVR is pin-compatible with all SN74LVC245A variants in DB, DW, N, NS, PW, and RGY packages - same 20-pin functional mapping and electrical behavior. However, mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics differ: TVSOP (DGV) has 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body and 0.65-mm pitch, while RGY (VQFN) is 4.50 mm × 3.50 mm with 0.5-mm pitch and requires different land pattern.
