Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2T45 from Texas Instruments is a dual-bit, dual-supply noninverting bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage translation between 1.65 V and 5.5 V rails (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 3.3 V ↔ 5 V). It features configurable direction control (DIR referenced to VCCA), ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 4-μA maximum ICC, and VCC isolation. It is used in mixed-voltage I²C, UART, and GPIO interconnects between SoCs and peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2T45 datasheet, SN74LVC2T45 pinout, SN74LVC2T45 application, or SN74LVC2T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply flexibility (VCCA/VCCB independent), guaranteed high-speed operation up to 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5 V), Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, and NanoFree™ DCT package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2T45 implements asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled by a single DIR input referenced to VCCA. Each port (A1/A2 and B1/B2) operates independently under its own supply rail-VCCA for A-side logic and DIR, VCCB for B-side logic-enabling true level-shifting without external biasing. The device maintains functional integrity across all valid VCCA/VCCB combinations within 1.65 V–5.5 V.
Its Ioff circuitry ensures <±2 µA leakage when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0 V, placing both ports in high-impedance state per JESD78 Class II latch-up compliance (>100 mA). ESD protection meets ±4000-V HBM, ±1000-V CDM, and ±200-V MM per JESD22.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V each - enables translation among 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains without redesign. |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5 V) - supports high-speed serial links like fast-mode Plus I²C or low-latency GPIO expansion. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - drives standard CMOS loads and short traces without external buffers. |
| ICC (max) | 4 µA - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±2 µA - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, critical for hot-swap and domain-isolation designs. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5–17.7 ns (A↔B, VCCA/VCCB = 1.8–5 V) - ensures timing predictability across voltage combinations. |
| ESD Rating | ±4000 V HBM - meets industrial-grade handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 uses the 8-pin SM8 (DCT) package: 2.95 mm × 4.00 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free, RoHS-compliant NanoFree™封装 with no die pad. Pin 1 = VCCA, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = DIR, Pin 8 = VCCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 1) | A-port supply and DIR reference | Defines logic thresholds for A1, A2, and DIR; must be stable before DIR assertion. |
| A1 / A2 (Pins 2, 3) | Bidirectional A-side data I/O | Referenced to VCCA; tolerate 0–VCCA input, drive 0–VCCA output; require external pull-ups if open-drain emulation needed. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Common reference plane | Single ground connection required; no separate analog/digital GND pins. |
| DIR (Pin 5) | Direction control input | High = A→B transmission; Low = B→A transmission; referenced strictly to VCCA, not VCCB. |
| B2 / B1 (Pins 6, 7) | Bidirectional B-side data I/O | Referenced to VCCB; tolerate 0–VCCB input, drive 0–VCCB output; independent of VCCA voltage. |
| VCCB (Pin 8) | B-port supply | Defines logic thresholds for B1, B2; enables independent power sequencing with VCCA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail supply independence | VCCA and VCCB operate from 1.65 V to 5.5 V concurrently - eliminates need for level-shifter ICs or resistor networks in multi-voltage systems. |
| VCC isolation | Both ports enter high-Z when either VCCA or VCCB = 0 V - prevents backfeed during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Enables safe power gating of one domain while keeping other active - essential for low-power MCU sleep modes with retained peripheral interfaces. |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | No spurious outputs during VCCA/VCCB ramp-up/down in any order - avoids false edge detection on connected logic or microcontrollers. |
| NanoFree™ DCT package | 0.65 mm pitch, no leadframe - reduces PCB area by >30% vs. SOIC-8 and enables routing under fine-pitch BGAs. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±8 mA); higher ICC (10 µA typical) | Best for push-pull I²C/SPI where direction is data-driven; unsuitable for DIR-controlled GPIO or UART handshaking | Select SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 when explicit DIR control, higher drive, or lower quiescent current is required. |
| SN74AVC2T244RSWR | Two independent 2-bit buffers (non-bidirectional); no VCC isolation; 1.2–3.6 V only | Used in unidirectional address/data latching; lacks bidirectional capability and wide-voltage translation | Choose SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 for true bidirectional, rail-to-rail translation with power-domain isolation. |

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4?
The DIR (direction) pin on the SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 controls data flow direction and is referenced exclusively to VCCA. When DIR is high, data passes from the A port (A1/A2) to the B port (B1/B2); when DIR is low, data flows from B to A. This single-pin control enables deterministic bidirectional communication without handshake protocols or additional logic.
Can SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 translate between 1.8 V and 5 V rails?
Yes, SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 supports translation between 1.8 V and 5 V rails: set VCCA = 1.8 V and VCCB = 5 V for B→A translation, or VCCA = 5 V and VCCB = 1.8 V for A→B translation. Its specified 1.65–5.5 V range per rail and 420-Mbps max rate (3.3 V → 5 V) confirm full interoperability across these nodes.
Does SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 supports partial power-down via its Ioff feature. When either VCCA or VCCB is at 0 V, the Ioff circuit disables all I/Os, limiting leakage to ±2 µA and forcing both ports into high-impedance state - preventing back-current and ensuring safe operation during domain-specific power gating.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 in the DCT package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 in the 8-pin DCT (SM8) package is 195.3 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs thermal design margins when operating at maximum ICC and output loading across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Is SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 compatible with I²C bus operation?
SN74LVC2T45DCTTG4 can interface with I²C buses when configured for unidirectional use (e.g., fixed DIR) and paired with appropriate pull-up resistors on each side. However, it lacks built-in bus arbitration or open-drain emulation - for native bidirectional I²C translation, TI recommends dedicated devices like TCA9617A.
