Product details
Overview
SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with dual-supply level translation, enabling bidirectional 8-bit data flow between 2.3V–3.6V (A port) and 3V–5.5V (B port) domains. It features VCC isolation, glitch-free power sequencing, 24mA drive strength at 3V, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in ultrasound scanners and string inverters for voltage-domain bridging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 datasheet, SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 pinout, SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 application, or SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply independence, direction-controlled translation, Ioff-enabled partial power-down, high-impedance fail-safe behavior under sub-100mV VCC, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 implements asynchronous bidirectional translation using separate VCCA (2.3V–3.6V) and VCCB (3V–5.5V) rails, with DIR and OE control inputs referenced solely to VCCA. Its internal architecture enforces strict isolation: if either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100mV or floats, all I/Os enter high-impedance state regardless of control logic.
It supports robust power sequencing-either rail may be powered on/off first without inducing output glitches-and integrates Ioff circuitry to block backflow current during partial power-down. Control input VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCCA, while A/B port I/O voltage tolerances track their respective supplies up to VCC+0.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - defines minimum/maximum supply for A-port logic and control inputs (DIR, OE) |
| VCCB Range | 3V to 5.5V - sets operational voltage window for B-port I/Os and enables 3.3V↔5V translation |
| Drive Strength | 24mA at 3V - ensures reliable signal integrity into heavy capacitive or resistive loads on either port |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.4ns (A→B, VCCA=2.5V/VCCB=3.3V) - supports high-speed bus handshaking in real-time systems |
| Ioff Leakage | ±2μA max - prevents damaging current flow when one supply is off, critical for hot-swap and power-gated designs |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements without external protection |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended temperature operation in embedded power electronics and medical equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.8mm × 6.4mm), lead pitch 0.65mm, RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 1) | A-port power supply | Bias source for A-side I/Os and control inputs (DIR, OE); determines VIH/VIL thresholds |
| DIR (Pin 2) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; referenced to VCCA, not VCCB |
| A1–A8 (Pins 3–10) | A-port bidirectional I/Os | 8-bit data path tracking VCCA; tolerate up to VCCA+0.5V input voltage |
| GND (Pins 11, 12) | Ground reference | Common return for both supply domains; must be low-impedance and star-connected |
| OE (Pin 22) | Output enable (active-low) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-Z when high; referenced to VCCA |
| B1–B8 (Pins 14–21) | B-port bidirectional I/Os | 8-bit data path tracking VCCB; tolerate up to VCCB+0.5V input voltage |
| VCCB (Pin 24) | B-port power supply | Bias source for B-side I/Os only; independent of VCCA and control logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply level translation | Enables seamless 2.5V/3.3V ↔ 5V system interconnect without external level shifters or voltage dividers |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance shutdown of all I/Os if either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100mV or floats |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | Eliminates false data transitions during asymmetric power-up/down, preventing peripheral misconfiguration |
| Ioff partial power-down | Blocks current backflow when one supply is off, protecting upstream drivers and meeting IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD robustness |
| 24mA drive capability | Supports direct connection to unterminated traces or multiple CMOS loads without buffer amplification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH8T245RHLR | Single-supply (1.2V–3.6V), no VCCB rail; lower max drive (12mA); no VCC isolation | Suitable only for sub-3.6V domain bridging; lacks 5V compatibility and fail-safe isolation | Choose when interfacing only low-voltage domains and board space is constrained (VQFN-24) |
| TXS0108EPRJR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); open-drain B-side; max 3.6V on B port; no VCCB >3.6V support | Cannot replace SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 in 5V B-port applications; unsuitable for push-pull 5V signaling | Select only for 3.3V↔3.3V/2.5V translation with automatic direction control and minimal control logic |
Compared with SN74LVCC3245APWRG4, SN74AVCH8T245RHLR offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 5V B-port support and VCC isolation; TXS0108EPRJR eliminates DIR wiring but cannot drive 5V buses or provide supply-fail safety-making SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 uniquely suited for industrial 3.3V/5V mixed-domain systems requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4?
The DIR (direction) pin on the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 controls data flow direction: when DIR is high (referenced to VCCA), data passes from the A port to the B port; when DIR is low, data flows from B to A. It is an active-high control input powered by and referenced exclusively to VCCA-not VCCB-ensuring consistent logic thresholds regardless of B-port voltage.
Does the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 support 5V operation on the B port?
Yes, the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 fully supports 5V operation on the B port, with VCCB rated from 3V to 5.5V. Its B-port I/Os tolerate up to VCCB+0.5V (6V max), and electrical characteristics-including VOHB(min) = 3.2V at IOH = –24mA with VCCA = 2.7V/VCCB = 4.5V-are validated across this range per TI's SCAS585R datasheet.
How does the VCC isolation feature work in the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4?
The SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 enters high-impedance mode on all I/Os when either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100mV or is left floating-regardless of OE or DIR state. This VCC isolation prevents unintended signal coupling during power faults or hot-swap events, and is implemented via internal detection circuitry that disables output drivers without requiring external supervision.
Can the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 be used with mismatched supply ramp rates?
Yes, the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 guarantees glitch-free operation even when VCCA and VCCB power up or down at different rates or in arbitrary order. Its internal design eliminates output glitches during asymmetric sequencing-a key requirement verified in TI's characterization and documented in Section 7.4 of the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 can drive?
The SN74LVCC3245APWRG4 is characterized with CL = 30pF (A port) and CL = 50pF (B port) in switching tests, and its typical power dissipation capacitance is 38pF per transceiver when outputs are enabled. While not explicitly rated for higher loads, its 24mA drive strength supports moderate PCB trace capacitance and multiple CMOS inputs-designers should verify timing margins using the tPHL/tPLH values in Table 5.6 under actual load conditions.
