Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2T45 from Texas Instruments is a dual-bit, dual-supply noninverting bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.65 V and 5.5 V domains. It supports independent A-port (VCCA-referenced) and B-port (VCCB-referenced) operation, features ±24-mA drive at 3.3 V, 4-μA maximum ICC, and VCC isolation for robust partial-power-down behavior. It is used in mixed-voltage I/O interfacing between microcontrollers and peripherals operating at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2T45 datasheet, SN74LVC2T45 pinout, SN74LVC2T45 application, or SN74LVC2T45 equivalent, key selection considerations include configurable dual-rail supply range (1.65–5.5 V per port), direction-controlled data flow (DIR referenced to VCCA), Ioff-enabled power-down safety, high-speed capability up to 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5 V), and NanoFree™ package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2T45 implements asynchronous bidirectional translation using separate VCCA and VCCB rails, where DIR input-referenced solely to VCCA-controls signal direction: high enables A→B transmission, low enables B→A. Both ports maintain full logic-level compatibility across 1.65 V to 5.5 V, supporting translation among 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V nodes without external components.
VCC isolation ensures both A and B ports enter high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, while Ioff circuitry limits leakage to ±2 µA when powered down. Propagation delays are voltage-dependent: tPLH/tPHL range from 0.5 ns (5 V → 5 V) to 17.7 ns (1.8 V → 1.8 V), and enable/disable times (tPHZ/tPLZ) are as low as 1.4 ns under optimal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 1.65 V to 5.5 V each - enables translation between any pair of common logic voltages (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) without level-shifters or resistors |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5 V) - supports high-speed interface bridging such as USB PHY control lines or FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - provides sufficient current to drive moderate capacitive loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| ICC (max) | 4 µA - ultra-low static power enables use in battery-backed or always-on subsystems with strict quiescent current budgets |
| Ioff | ±2 µA - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting unpowered ICs connected to A or B ports |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±4000 V - meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements for board-level handling and end-equipment reliability |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for extended temperature operation in industrial and automotive cabin applications |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC2T45 is available in three surface-mount packages: DCT (SM8, 2.95 mm × 4 mm), DCU (VSSOP-8, 2 mm × 3.1 mm), and YZP (DSBGA-8, 1.5 mm × 0.5 mm). All variants share identical pin functionality and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | References A1, A2, and DIR inputs; sets A-port logic thresholds and output swing; must be 1.65–5.5 V |
| A1, A2 | Bidirectional A-port I/Os | Transmit/receive data on A side; logic levels and drive strength referenced to VCCA |
| GND | Common ground reference | Required return path for both supply rails; must be low-impedance and shared with system ground |
| DIR | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; high = A→B data flow, low = B→A; no internal pull-up/down |
| B2, B1 | Bidirectional B-port I/Os | Transmit/receive data on B side; logic levels and drive strength referenced to VCCB |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | References B1 and B2; sets B-port logic thresholds and output swing; must be 1.65–5.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully configurable dual-rail operation | Independent VCCA and VCCB supplies (1.65–5.5 V each) allow arbitrary voltage node pairing - e.g., 1.8 V MCU ↔ 3.3 V sensor, or 2.5 V FPGA ↔ 5 V display driver |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - eliminates risk of latch-up or damage during asymmetric power sequencing |
| Ioff support | Enables safe partial-power-down mode: all I/Os enter high-impedance state with <±2 µA leakage, preventing backdrive into unpowered subsystems |
| High-speed translation | Up to 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5 V) enables use in timing-critical interfaces like PCIe configuration buses, MIPI control links, or high-frequency GPIO expansion |
| NanoFree™ packaging | YZP (DSBGA-8) option measures only 1.5 mm × 0.5 mm - ideal for ultra-compact wearables, hearing aids, and space-constrained IoT edge nodes |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±8 mA at 3.3 V); higher ICC (10 µA typical) | Suitable for open-drain buses (I²C, SMBus); not recommended for push-pull or high-speed parallel interfaces | Select when direction is predictable and automatic sensing simplifies control logic; avoid for >100 Mbps or high-drive needs. |
| SN74AVC2T245RSWR | Higher speed (500 Mbps), lower propagation delay (0.25 ns min), but narrower supply range (1.2–3.6 V per rail) | Optimized for sub-3.3-V systems (e.g., mobile SoCs); incompatible with 5-V domains or legacy industrial 5-V peripherals | Choose for next-gen low-voltage designs requiring maximum bandwidth; reject if 5-V interface or wide voltage flexibility is required. |
Compared with TXS0102DCUR and SN74AVC2T245RSWR, SN74LVC2T45 uniquely balances wide voltage range (1.65–5.5 V), manual DIR control for deterministic timing, and 420-Mbps capability - making it the preferred choice for mixed-voltage industrial, automotive, and legacy-compatible embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the SN74LVC2T45?
The DIR (direction) pin on the SN74LVC2T45 is a digital control input referenced to VCCA that determines data flow direction: when DIR = HIGH, data passes from the A-port (A1/A2) to the B-port (B1/B2); when DIR = LOW, data flows from B to A. It does not affect power sequencing or enable/disable timing - those are governed by VCCA/VCCB presence and Ioff behavior. The SN74LVC2T45 requires an external logic signal or microcontroller GPIO to drive DIR.
Can SN74LVC2T45 translate between 1.2 V and 3.3 V logic levels?
No - SN74LVC2T45 is not rated for 1.2 V operation. Its absolute minimum supply voltage is 1.65 V for both VCCA and VCCB, and its recommended operating range starts at 1.65 V. Attempting to operate VCCA or VCCB below 1.65 V may result in undefined logic thresholds, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet VIH/VIL specifications. For 1.2 V translation, consider SN74AVC2T245 or TXB0102 instead.
Does SN74LVC2T45 support hot insertion or live swapping between powered systems?
Yes - SN74LVC2T45 supports hot insertion via its VCC isolation and Ioff features. If either VCCA or VCCB is disconnected while the other remains powered, both ports automatically enter high-impedance state with leakage <±2 µA, preventing backdrive or latch-up. This allows safe connection/disconnection of peripheral boards (e.g., add-on sensors or displays) without powering down the host system - a key requirement in modular industrial controllers.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74LVC2T45 can drive reliably?
SN74LVC2T45 maintains specified timing (e.g., tPLH ≤ 7.2 ns at 3.3 V → 3.3 V) up to 15 pF load capacitance, as defined in the test conditions of Figure 6-1. Driving >15 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing due to its ±24-mA drive strength. For loads exceeding 15 pF, add series termination (22–33 Ω) near the driver or use a buffer stage - the SN74LVC2T45 itself does not include slew-rate control or programmable drive strength.
Is SN74LVC2T45 compatible with I²C open-drain signaling?
No - SN74LVC2T45 is a push-pull transceiver and is not designed for open-drain buses like I²C. Its outputs actively drive HIGH and LOW, which would conflict with I²C's wired-AND topology and cause bus contention. For I²C level shifting, TI recommends TXS0102 (auto-sensing) or PCA9306 (dual-channel, passive). Using SN74LVC2T45 on I²C lines risks damaging devices or corrupting communication.
