Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245ADBR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between 1.65-V to 3.6-V buses. It supports mixed-mode signaling (5.5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC), features integrated 26-Ω output series resistors, and delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V - enabling use in high-speed industrial backplanes and low-voltage FPGA I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR2245ADBR datasheet, SN74LVCR2245ADBR pinout, SN74LVCR2245ADBR application, or SN74LVCR2245ADBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Ioff-enabled live insertion capability, ±12 mA output drive per channel, 1.65–3.6 V supply range, and SSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR2245ADBR implements a dual-bus directional control architecture using DIR to select A→B or B→A data flow and OE to place all outputs in high-impedance state. Its Ioff circuitry ensures zero current backflow when VCC = 0 V, supporting partial-power-down systems.
All eight A-side and eight B-side I/Os are individually bidirectional, with input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, and built-in 26-Ω series termination eliminating external resistors. Propagation delay remains stable across –40°C to 125°C and 1.65–3.6 V VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5-V legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3-V rails. |
| Max tpd | 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - supports >100 MHz data rates in point-to-point bus applications. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA per channel - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 μA at 5.5 V - guarantees isolation during hot-swap or power sequencing in modular systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCR2245ADBR uses the SSOP-20 (DB) package with 8.65 mm × 3.90 mm body size and 0.65 mm lead pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life), and rated for reflow up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - enables dynamic bus reversal without reset. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bidirectional A-Side I/O | Connect to local processor or controller bus; tolerate 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bidirectional B-Side I/O | Interface to peripheral, memory, or FPGA bank; matched impedance reduces signal integrity issues. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-Low - drives all A/B outputs to high-Z when high; tie to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V rail; requires local 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω Series Resistors | Eliminates need for 16 external termination resistors - reduces BOM count and PCB area in dense routing. |
| Mixed-Mode Signal Operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs on 1.65–3.6-V VCC - enables seamless interconnection between 3.3-V SoCs and 5-V sensors/actuators. |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Prevents back-drive current when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug modules and redundant power architectures. |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at 3.3 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent analog or RF sections during switching. |
| ESD Robustness | 2000-V HBM / 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for manufacturing handling and field reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | No integrated 26-Ω series resistors; 5.5-V input tolerance retained; slightly higher tpd (7.5 ns @ 3.3 V). | Lacks built-in termination - requires external resistors for clean signal integrity in high-speed traces. | Choose when cost optimization outweighs layout simplification and signal integrity benefits. |
| SN74AVC245 | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); higher speed (4.2 ns @ 3.3 V); no 5.5-V input tolerance - max VI = VCC + 0.3 V. | Not suitable for mixed 3.3-V/5-V systems; requires strict voltage domain separation. | Choose only for pure 1.2–3.3-V designs where maximum speed and lowest power are critical. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74AVC245, the SN74LVCR2245ADBR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated 26-Ω termination, and Ioff - making it the only option that simultaneously solves level translation, signal integrity, and hot-swap safety in one device.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCR2245ADBR can tolerate?
The SN74LVCR2245ADBR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-side pins, regardless of VCC value (1.65–3.6 V). This overvoltage tolerance is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and enables safe interfacing with 5-V peripherals while operating from lower supply rails - a key feature confirmed in Section 7.1 and Feature Description.
Does the SN74LVCR2245ADBR require external series resistors for signal integrity?
No. The SN74LVCR2245ADBR integrates 26-Ω series resistors on all outputs, as stated in the Features section and Electrical Characteristics table. This eliminates the need for 16 discrete resistors in typical 8-bit bus applications, reducing PCB area, BOM cost, and potential impedance mismatches caused by layout parasitics.
What is the purpose of the Ioff specification for the SN74LVCR2245ADBR?
The Ioff specification (±10 μA max at 5.5 V) ensures that no damaging current flows into or out of the SN74LVCR2245ADBR when VCC = 0 V. This enables safe live insertion and partial-power-down operation - critical for modular systems like hot-swappable cards or battery-backed subsystems where power domains may be sequenced independently.
Can the SN74LVCR2245ADBR operate at 1.65 V and still meet timing specifications?
Yes. The SN74LVCR2245ADBR is fully characterized down to 1.65 V, with guaranteed max tpd of 12.4 ns (–40°C to 125°C) and 10.9 ns (–40°C to 85°C) at this minimum supply. These values are documented in Tables 7.6 and 7.7, confirming reliable operation across the full 1.65–3.6 V range without derating.
What package type does the SN74LVCR2245ADBR use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The SN74LVCR2245ADBR uses the SSOP-20 (DB) package with nominal dimensions of 8.65 mm × 3.90 mm and 0.65 mm lead pitch. It has moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life) and is rated for peak reflow at 260°C - verified in the Package Option Addendum and Mechanical Information sections of the datasheet.
