Product details
Overview
SN74LVCC3245ADBQR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with dual-supply voltage translation (2.3V–3.6V on A port, 3V–5.5V on B port), 3-state outputs, and VCC isolation. It enables bidirectional level-shifting between 3.3V/2.5V and 5V domains in real-time data buses, supporting high-speed communication in mixed-voltage systems such as ultrasound scanner backplanes and solar inverter control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCC3245ADBQR datasheet, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR pinout, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR application, or SN74LVCC3245ADBQR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional mode mapping, thermal performance data, and precise pin-level design meaning - all confirmed against TI's SCAS585R production datasheet (May 2026 revision).
Technical Context
The SN74LVCC3245ADBQR implements asynchronous bidirectional translation using independent VCCA and VCCB rails, with DIR-controlled directionality and active-low OE for 3-state isolation. Control logic (DIR, OE) is referenced to VCCA, ensuring consistent threshold behavior across A-port supply variations.
Its VCC isolation feature forces both A and B ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV or floats, preventing backfeed and latch-up. Glitch-free power sequencing allows arbitrary ramp order of VCCA/VCCB without spurious output transitions - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| A-port supply range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports direct interface with 2.5V and 3.3V logic families without level-shifter ICs |
| B-port supply range | 3V to 5.5V - enables interoperability with legacy 5V microcontrollers, ADCs, and industrial I/O |
| Output drive strength | 24mA at 3V - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long PCB traces, multiple CMOS inputs) without external buffers |
| Propagation delay (A→B) | 1ns to 9.4ns - meets timing requirements for 100+ MHz data bus operation under typical 3.3V/5V conditions |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000V - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, enabling robust handling in automated assembly and field-replaceable modules |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and medical environments including ultrasound scanner chassis and string inverter enclosures |
| IOFF leakage | ±0.5μA max - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD immunity design goals |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCC3245ADBQR is packaged in a 24-pin SSOP (DBQ) with dimensions 8.65mm × 6mm and 0.65mm lead pitch. The package supports standard reflow profiles and provides adequate thermal dissipation (RθJA = 61°C/W) for board-level integration without heatsinking in ambient temperatures ≤ 70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 1) | A-port power supply | Reference for all A-side I/O and control inputs; must be stable before enabling DIR/OE |
| DIR (Pin 2) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow; referenced to VCCA, not VCCB |
| A1–A8 (Pins 3–10) | A-port bidirectional I/O | 8-bit data path tied to VCCA domain; tolerates overvoltage up to VCCA + 0.5V |
| GND (Pins 11, 12) | Ground reference | Common return for both supply domains; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| NC (Pin 23) | No internal connection | Unbonded pad - must remain unconnected; no routing or copper fill allowed |
| OE (Pin 22) | Output enable (active low) | Drives all A/B ports to high-Z when high; enables bus isolation during reset or standby |
| B1–B8 (Pins 14–21) | B-port bidirectional I/O | 8-bit data path tied to VCCB domain; tolerates overvoltage up to VCCB + 0.5V |
| VCCB (Pin 24) | B-port power supply | Reference for all B-side I/O; independent sequencing from VCCA eliminates startup glitches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Enables seamless 2.5V↔3.3V↔5V interoperation without external resistors or discrete translators |
| VCC isolation | Automatically disables both ports when either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100mV - prevents backdrive in fault or hot-swap scenarios |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | Eliminates false data pulses during asymmetric VCCA/VCCB ramp-up/down - avoids unintended peripheral resets in multi-rail systems |
| 24mA output drive | Supports fan-out to ≥10 standard CMOS loads at 3.3V, reducing need for buffer stages in dense backplane designs |
| Robust ESD protection | HBM ±2000V and CDM ±1000V ratings meet IPC-A-610 Class 3 assembly requirements for medical and industrial end equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (4mA); 1.2V–3.6V only - no 5V B-port support | Suitable for low-power IoT edge nodes but cannot replace SN74LVCC3245ADBQR in 5V industrial interfaces | Select only when system uses fully autonomous direction detection and operates strictly below 3.6V on both sides |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Fixed 1.2V–3.6V range; no VCC isolation; higher speed (240Mbps) but no 5V tolerance | Optimized for high-speed memory expansion in battery-powered devices, not mixed-voltage industrial control | Choose only for 3.3V↔1.8V DDR interface extension where 5V compatibility and fault isolation are unnecessary |
Compared with TXB0108PWR and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR uniquely supports 5V B-port operation with hardware-controlled direction and failsafe VCC isolation - making it the only viable option for ultrasound scanners and solar inverters requiring robust 3.3V/5V interoperability under fault conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the B-port pins of SN74LVCC3245ADBQR?
The absolute maximum voltage on any B-port pin (B1–B8) is VCCB + 0.5V, with VCCB rated up to 5.5V. Therefore, the maximum safe input voltage is 6.0V. Exceeding this risks forward-biasing internal ESD diodes and causing excessive leakage or permanent damage. This limit is explicitly defined in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the SN74LVCC3245ADBQR datasheet.
Does SN74LVCC3245ADBQR support automatic direction detection like the TXB series?
No, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR requires explicit control of the DIR pin to determine data flow direction (A→B or B→A). Unlike auto-sensing translators such as the TXB0108, it does not monitor bus activity to infer direction. This manual control ensures deterministic timing and eliminates metastability risks in high-noise environments like solar inverter control cabinets.
Can SN74LVCC3245ADBQR operate with VCCA = 2.5V and VCCB = 5.0V simultaneously?
Yes, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR is fully specified for simultaneous operation at VCCA = 2.5V and VCCB = 5.0V. Electrical characteristics including VOHB (min 3.2V), VOLB (max 0.5V), and tPHL/tPLH (≤6ns) are guaranteed under this condition per Section 5.6 Switching Characteristics. This configuration is commonly used in 2.5V FPGA-to-5V DAC interfaces.
What happens to the outputs of SN74LVCC3245ADBQR if VCCA is powered but VCCB is disconnected?
If VCCB is disconnected (i.e., <100mV or floating) while VCCA remains powered, the VCC isolation feature forces all A-port and B-port outputs into high-impedance state. This behavior is documented in Section 7.5 and prevents backfeeding current from the A-side into the unpowered B-side - a critical safety mechanism in modular power systems.
Is SN74LVCC3245ADBQR pin-compatible with earlier SN74LVCC3245 variants?
Yes, SN74LVCC3245ADBQR shares identical pinout, package footprint (DBQ, 24-pin SSOP), and functional behavior with all SN74LVCC3245A variants including DB, DW, NS, and PW packages. The "DBQR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly; electrical and thermal specs are identical across all orderable variants per TI's SCAS585R datasheet.
