Product details
Overview
SN74LVC245ANS from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65-V to 3.6-V buses. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), Ioff support for live insertion, 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, and a max propagation delay of 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - used in LED display drivers and mixed-voltage I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC245ANS datasheet, SN74LVC245ANS pinout, SN74LVC245ANS application, or SN74LVC245ANS equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (5 V ↔ 3.3 V), Ioff-enabled partial-power-down operation, 20-pin SOP (NS) package compatibility, and verified 3.3-V/1.8-V system interfacing performance.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC245ANS implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE inputs, supporting both A→B and B→A transmission modes. Its CMOS design enables rail-to-rail input tolerance up to 5.5 V while operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V VCC, making it suitable for level-shifting in heterogeneous logic systems.
It integrates Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing back-drive current and enabling hot-plug capability. Latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD17, and ESD protection meets 2000-V HBM and 1000-V CDM standards.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Enables 5-V inputs to safely interface with 3.3-V or 1.8-V VCC - eliminates need for discrete translators |

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 | Higher density layout; requires reflow profile adjustment (MSL Level-1 vs NS package) | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly supports fine-pitch TSSOP. |
| 74LVC245ADW | SOIC-20 package (12.80 mm × 7.50 mm); same pinout but wider body than NS | Compatible with legacy SOIC footprints; slightly higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 78 °C/W vs 59.2 °C/W for NS) | Choose for through-hole prototyping or where SOP-20 footprint is unavailable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVC245ANS?
The SN74LVC245ANS is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per TI's Recommended Operating Conditions table and supports deployment in harsh industrial and telecom environments where thermal cycling and elevated junction temperatures are common. The SN74LVC245ANS maintains full electrical specifications across this range.
Does the SN74LVC245ANS support 5-V tolerant inputs when VCC = 1.8 V?
Yes, the SN74LVC245ANS supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting - including at 1.65 V, 1.8 V, or 2.5 V. This is explicitly confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (VI = 0 to 5.5 V) and enables reliable down-translation from 5-V logic to lower-voltage domains without external components.
Can the SN74LVC245ANS be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVC245ANS includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during live insertion. This feature is documented in the Feature Description section and verified per JESD78 testing - making the SN74LVC245ANS suitable for modular backplane systems requiring field-replaceable modules.
What is the typical power dissipation capacitance (Cpd) of the SN74LVC245ANS at 3.3 V?
The typical power dissipation capacitance per transceiver channel of the SN74LVC245ANS is 45 pF at VCC = 3.3 V and f = 10 MHz, as specified in Section 7.7 (Operating Characteristics). This value reflects dynamic power consumption during switching and is used to estimate total ICC in high-frequency bus applications.
Is the SN74LVC245ANS pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVC245A family?
Yes, the SN74LVC245ANS uses the SOP-20 (NS) package with identical pin numbering and function mapping as shown in the Pin Configuration and Functions table for DB, DGV, DW, N, PW, and RGY packages. All 20-pin variants share the same DIR, OE, A1–A8, B1–B8, GND, and VCC assignments - enabling direct PCB footprint reuse across package types.
