Product details
Overview
SN74LVC8T245MDWREP from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation, enabling bidirectional data flow between 1.65-V and 3.6-V buses. It features ±24-mA drive strength, 3.7-ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C) for automotive applications including infotainment domain controllers and ADAS sensor hubs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP datasheet, SN74LVC8T245MDWREP pinout, SN74LVC8T245MDWREP application, or SN74LVC8T245MDWREP equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply translation capability, automotive-grade reliability, bus-hold functionality on data inputs, direction control timing margins, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This transceiver uses separate VCCA (1.65 V to 3.6 V) and VCCB (1.65 V to 3.6 V) supplies to translate logic levels between mismatched voltage domains. Direction control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) pins operate referenced to VCCA, allowing independent control of data flow direction and bus isolation.
All I/Os support partial-power-down mode with IOFF protection, preventing current backflow when either supply is inactive. Bus-hold circuitry on A- and B-side data inputs eliminates external pull resistors, maintaining last-valid state during high-impedance conditions without increasing static power.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VCCA and VCCB: 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V subsystems without level-shifting ICs |
| Propagation Delay | 3.7 ns (typ) at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100-MHz data rates in synchronous bus interfaces |
| Drive Strength | ±24 mA (VCC = 3.3 V) - drives 50-Ω transmission lines directly and sustains signal integrity across 10-cm PCB traces |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±10 µA - maintains valid logic state on floating inputs without external biasing, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets automotive system-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605 |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cockpit electronics |
| IOFF Protection | Active at VCC = 0 V - prevents power rail contention and data corruption during hot-swap or power sequencing |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC8T245MDWREP is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27-mm pitch, 15.4-mm body length, and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint - compatible with automated assembly and legacy reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Data inputs/outputs (Side A) | Interface with lower-voltage domain (e.g., 1.8-V microcontroller); bus-hold enabled by default |
| B1–B8 | Data inputs/outputs (Side B) | Interface with higher-voltage domain (e.g., 3.3-V sensor interface); bus-hold enabled by default |
| DIR | Direction control input | High = A→B transfer; Low = B→A transfer; referenced to VCCA |
| OE | Output enable input | Low = active transceiver; High = high-impedance isolation on both sides |
| VCCA | Supply for Side A and control logic | Powers A-side I/Os and DIR/OE inputs; sets input thresholds for control pins |
| VCCB | Supply for Side B | Powers B-side I/Os only; independent of VCCA for true voltage translation |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both domains; no separate ground pins required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply voltage translation | Supports asymmetric VCCA/VCCB combinations (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V), eliminating discrete level shifters in mixed-voltage systems |
| Integrated bus-hold | Retains last-driven logic state on A/B inputs during tri-state or power-down, removing need for 10-kΩ external pull resistors per line |
| IOFF partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow between A and B sides when either VCCA or VCCB is 0 V - critical for safe hot-plug operation in modular ECUs |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use across –40°C to +125°C ambient, including temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD stress tests per AEC specification |
| ±24-mA drive strength | Drives capacitive loads up to 50 pF while maintaining <1-ns skew across all 8 channels - suitable for parallel camera or display interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | AVC family: 1.2–3.6-V operation, DOCTM dynamic drive, 1.8-ns max tpd at 2.5 V | Higher speed but no AEC-Q100 qualification; intended for commercial computing, not automotive | Select when >150-MHz data rates are required and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TXS0108EPRJR | Auto-direction sensing; no DIR pin; 1.65–3.6-V operation; lower drive (±8 mA) | Lacks bus-hold and AEC-Q100 rating; optimized for space-constrained IoT nodes, not safety-critical systems | Select for simplified control logic in non-automotive embedded designs where board space is premium |
Compared with SN74LVC8T245MDWREP, SN74AVC8T245RHLR delivers faster timing but sacrifices automotive reliability, while TXS0108EPRJR reduces pin count at the cost of deterministic direction control and robustness - making SN74LVC8T245MDWREP the optimal choice for AEC-Q100-compliant, mixed-voltage bus bridging.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP support on its A and B ports?
The SN74LVC8T245MDWREP supports independent supply voltages from 1.65 V to 3.6 V on both VCCA and VCCB. This allows it to translate between common logic domains such as 1.8-V microcontrollers and 3.3-V peripherals. The device maintains full functionality across the entire range, with guaranteed timing and drive performance specified at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. SN74LVC8T245MDWREP does not support 5-V operation on either side.
Is the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP pin-compatible with standard SOIC-24 transceivers like the SN74LVC245A?
Yes, SN74LVC8T245MDWREP uses the same SOIC-24 (DW) package footprint and pinout as industry-standard octal transceivers including SN74LVC245A, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. Pin assignments for A/B data lines, DIR, OE, VCCA, VCCB, and GND match JEDEC MS-013AC mechanical specifications. SN74LVC8T245MDWREP retains identical control logic behavior but adds bus-hold and IOFF features not present in legacy variants.
Does the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data lines?
No, SN74LVC8T245MDWREP integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-side I/Os, eliminating the need for external pull resistors. Each input maintains its last-valid logic state with ±10 µA holding current, reducing BOM count, PCB area, and potential noise coupling. This feature remains active regardless of OE or DIR state and functions across the full operating temperature range, including at –40°C and +125°C.
How does the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP handle power sequencing when VCCA and VCCB are powered at different times?
SN74LVC8T245MDWREP includes IOFF circuitry that disables all I/Os and blocks current flow when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0 V, preventing back-powering and latch-up during asymmetric power-up/down sequences. This ensures safe hot-plug operation in modular automotive ECUs and industrial backplanes. SN74LVC8T245MDWREP meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for power sequencing robustness.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74LVC8T245MDWREP in a typical automotive application?
With a typical propagation delay of 3.7 ns at 3.3 V and channel-to-channel skew under 0.5 ns, SN74LVC8T245MDWREP supports reliable operation at >100 MHz in controlled-impedance environments. In automotive applications such as infotainment video routing or sensor data aggregation, it reliably handles 80-MHz parallel interfaces (e.g., 8-bit camera data buses) while maintaining setup/hold timing margins per AEC-Q100 requirements. SN74LVC8T245MDWREP performance is validated across –40°C to +125°C.
