Product details
Overview
SN74LVC245ANSR 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 supports mixed-mode signal operation (5-V inputs with 3.3-V VCC), features Ioff for live insertion and partial-power-down protection, and delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V - used in LED display drivers and telecom infrastructure backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC245ANSR datasheet, SN74LVC245ANSR pinout, SN74LVC245ANSR application, or SN74LVC245ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (5 V → 3.3 V), 3-state output isolation timing (ten/tdis ≤ 8.5 ns), Ioff-enabled back-drive protection, and SOP-20 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The SN74LVC245ANSR implements a direction-controlled, dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent DIR and OE inputs. 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, allowing direct interfacing between 5-V legacy peripherals and 3.3-V or 1.8-V logic domains without external level shifters.
Functional modes are defined by DIR (A→B or B→A) and OE (enabled or high-impedance). The device includes robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM), latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17), and ground-bounce/undershoot control (VOLP < 0.8 V, VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V), critical for noise-sensitive digital backplane applications.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245ADBR | SSOP-20 package (7.50 mm × 5.30 mm); identical electrical specs and marking (LC245A) | No thermal or routing difference; same industrial temp range and RoHS compliance | Select when SSOP footprint matches existing layout or preferred tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel) |
| SN74LVC245APWR | TSSOP-20 package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm); 0.65 mm pitch vs NS's 1.27 mm; same logic and timing | Higher density placement; slightly lower RθJA (59.2°C/W vs 78°C/W for NS) improves thermal headroom | Choose for space-constrained designs where smaller footprint and improved thermal performance justify rework |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVC245ANSR can tolerate?
The SN74LVC245ANSR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, regardless of VCC level (1.65 V to 3.6 V). This overvoltage tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5-V TTL or CMOS logic without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry - a key feature confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official TI datasheet SCAS218X.
Does the SN74LVC245ANSR support hot-plug or live-insertion applications?
Yes, the SN74LVC245ANSR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry disables all outputs and limits input/output leakage to ±10 μA at 5.5 V, preventing damaging back-current flow. This behavior is explicitly specified in Section 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) and validated per JESD78, making SN74LVC245ANSR suitable for modular telecom and industrial backplane systems.
What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVC245ANSR at 3.3 V?
The SN74LVC245ANSR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, measured under load conditions of CL = 50 pF and TA = 25°C. This value is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), with typical performance at 3.8 ns - enabling reliable operation in high-speed digital interfaces up to 80 MHz.
Can the SN74LVC245ANSR translate 5-V signals to 1.8-V logic levels?
Yes, the SN74LVC245ANSR supports down-translation from 5-V inputs to 1.8-V outputs: when VCC = 1.8 V, the device accepts 5-V inputs (VI ≤ 5.5 V) and produces valid 1.8-V logic-level outputs (VOH ≥ 1.29 V, VOL ≤ 0.45 V per Section 7.5). This capability is documented in the Feature Description section and verified in mixed-mode operation testing.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVC245ANSR use?
The SN74LVC245ANSR uses the SOP-20 (NS) package: 7.50 mm × 5.30 mm body size, 1.27 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, and MSL Level-1 rated for unlimited 260°C reflow. Pin 1 identifier is a beveled corner, and the part marking is "LVC245A", as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum and Mechanical Drawing SLMA002.
