Product details
Overview
SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with dual supply rails (VCCA: 2.3–3.6 V, VCCB: 3–5.5 V), enabling bidirectional level translation between 2.5/3.3 V and 5 V domains. It features 3-state outputs controlled by DIR and active-low OE, 24 mA drive strength at 3 V, and VCC isolation that forces high-impedance I/O when either supply drops below 100 mV - used in ultrasound scanner data buses for safe inter-domain signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 datasheet, SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 pinout, SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 application, or SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its asymmetric voltage tracking (VCCA-referenced control inputs), glitch-free power sequencing, Ioff partial-power-down protection, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial control and inverter PCBs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 implements a direction-controlled, dual-rail architecture where A-port logic levels track VCCA and B-port levels track VCCB. Control signals (DIR, OE) are referenced solely to VCCA, ensuring consistent enable/disable behavior regardless of VCCB voltage. Its internal circuitry guarantees no output glitches during arbitrary power-up/down sequences of VCCA or VCCB.
VCC isolation is implemented via dedicated sensing circuitry: if either VCCA or VCCB falls below ~100 mV or floats, all 16 I/Os (A1–A8, B1–B8) enter high-impedance state simultaneously. The device supports full Ioff protection, limiting backflow current to ±2 µA per I/O when powered down, meeting JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - defines minimum/maximum supply for A-side logic and control inputs (DIR/OE) |
| VCCB Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - sets operating window for B-side I/O voltage translation and drive capability |
| Drive Strength | 24 mA at 3 V - enables direct interface to heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple CMOS inputs) without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.4 ns (A→B, VCCA=2.5 V/VCCB=3.3 V) - supports >100 MHz data rates in synchronous bus applications |
| Ioff Leakage | ±2 µA max - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down, critical for hot-swap and power-gated systems |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 requirements for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation in inverters, medical imaging, and embedded computing |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.8 mm × 6.4 mm), lead pitch 0.65 mm, thermally enhanced for industrial ambient conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 1) | A-port power supply | Reference for A-side I/O thresholds and all control inputs (DIR, OE); must be stable before enabling |
| DIR (Pin 2) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A flow; referenced to VCCA, not VCCB |
| A1–A8 (Pins 3–10) | A-port bidirectional I/O | Track VCCA voltage; tolerate up to VCCA + 0.5 V input; drive up to 24 mA sink/source |
| 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) | Pulls all A/B I/Os into 3-state when high; VCCA-referenced; enables bus isolation during reset |
| B1–B8 (Pins 14–21) | B-port bidirectional I/O | Track VCCB voltage; tolerate up to VCCB + 0.5 V input; compatible with 5 V TTL/CMOS loads |
| VCCB (Pin 24) | B-port power supply | Reference for B-side I/O thresholds; independent sequencing allowed due to glitch-free design |
| NC (Pins 13, 23) | No internal connection | Unbonded die pads; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional level translation | Enables interoperability between 2.5 V/3.3 V controllers and 5 V peripherals without external resistors or discrete translators |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z I/O state when either VCCA or VCCB <100 mV - eliminates need for external power-fail detection circuitry |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | Supports arbitrary VCCA/VCCB ramp order (e.g., VCCB powered first, VCCA later) without spurious output transitions |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Limits leakage to ±2 µA per pin during system sleep modes - preserves battery life and prevents bus contention |
| VCCA-referenced controls | DIR and OE thresholds scale with VCCA, ensuring reliable operation across full 2.3–3.6 V A-port supply range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Single-supply (1.2–3.6 V), no VCCB rail; lower drive (12 mA), no VCC isolation | Suitable only for 1.2–3.6 V domain bridging; cannot translate to 5 V | Select when interfacing only sub-3.6 V systems and board space is constrained (VQFN-24) |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), 3.6 V max VCCA, no VCCB > 5 V support, higher quiescent current | Eliminates direction control wiring but lacks deterministic DIR override for synchronous protocols | Prefer for I²C/SPI where direction is data-driven; avoid for parallel bus control requiring explicit DIR assertion |
Compared with SN74LVCC3245APWTG4, SN74AVC8T245RHLR lacks 5 V compatibility and VCC isolation, while TXB0108PWR trades explicit direction control for automatic sensing - making SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 the only choice for deterministic, high-drive, 5 V-capable bidirectional translation with robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 support on its A and B ports?
The SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 supports 2.3 V to 3.6 V on the A port (VCCA) and 3 V to 5.5 V on the B port (VCCB). This allows translation from 2.5 V/3.3 V logic to 5 V systems and vice versa. Control inputs DIR and OE are referenced exclusively to VCCA, ensuring stable operation across the full A-port supply range. The device is not rated for operation outside these limits.
Does the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 require specific power supply sequencing?
No - the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 features glitch-free power supply sequencing, meaning VCCA and VCCB may be powered on or off in any order without causing spurious output transitions. This eliminates sequencing constraints in complex multi-rail systems. The VCC isolation feature further ensures all I/Os go high-impedance if either supply drops below ~100 mV or floats.
How does the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 handle partial power-down conditions?
The SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 incorporates Ioff circuitry that limits input/output leakage to ±2 µA when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow. This enables safe partial power-down in systems where one domain remains active while another is disabled - essential for power-gated subsystems in inverters and medical equipment.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4?
Based on its worst-case propagation delay of 11.2 ns (B→A, VCCA=2.5 V/VCCB=3.3 V), the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 supports reliable operation up to approximately 89 MHz for single-bit toggling. For 8-bit parallel buses, system-level timing margins depend on trace length and loading, but the device is routinely deployed in 25–50 MHz synchronous bus interfaces in ultrasound and inverter applications.
Is the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 pin-compatible with other TI octal transceivers like the SN74LVC8T245?
No - the SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 is not pin-compatible with SN74LVC8T245. While both are octal transceivers in TSSOP-24 packages, SN74LVCC3245APWTG4 has dedicated VCCA (Pin 1) and VCCB (Pin 24) supplies, whereas SN74LVC8T245 uses a single VCC (Pin 1). Pin assignments for DIR, OE, and I/Os differ significantly; PCB redesign is required for substitution.
