Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245ADGVR 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, delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and enables live insertion via Ioff protection - used in server backplanes and network switch interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR2245ADGVR datasheet, SN74LVCR2245ADGVR pinout, SN74LVCR2245ADGVR application, or SN74LVCR2245ADGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (5.5-V input tolerance), Ioff-enabled partial-power-down operation, 20-pin TVSOP package footprint, and guaranteed 125°C operating temperature range.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR implements a dual-bus directional control architecture using DIR to select A→B or B→A data flow and OE to place all eight channels into high-impedance state. Its CMOS design integrates on-die 26-Ω series termination on all outputs to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.
It supports true mixed-voltage operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V independent of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling seamless interfacing between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V systems. The Ioff circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking reverse current during hot-swap or power sequencing events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-voltage embedded rails including 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V systems. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5-V peripherals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Max tpd | 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data handshaking in server memory buffers and switch fabric interfaces. |
| Output Series Resistance | 26 Ω (integrated) - Eliminates need for external termination resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| Ioff Protection | Active at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-drive current during live insertion or partial power-down. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - Qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments with extended thermal margins. |

Pinout & Package
SN74LVCR2245ADGVR uses a 20-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP) with 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 orientation follows Q1 quadrant assignment per TI tape-and-reel specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DIR | Direction Control Input | Logic level selects data flow direction: LOW = B-to-A, HIGH = A-to-B. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Port A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to source bus; tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 10 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits. |
| 11–18 B1–B8 | Port B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines connected to destination bus; functionally identical to A-side. |
| 19 OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control: asserted LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all outputs to high-Z. |
| 20 VCC | Power Supply | Single supply rail (1.65–3.6 V); requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features

FAQ
What voltage levels can SN74LVCR2245ADGVR inputs safely accept?
SN74LVCR2245ADGVR inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct interfacing with 5-V legacy peripherals without external level shifters. This overvoltage capability is explicitly characterized in TI's Electrical Characteristics table and applies to all A- and B-port pins. The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR maintains full functionality and reliability under this condition, as verified across –40°C to 125°C.
Does SN74LVCR2245ADGVR require external series resistors on its outputs?
No, SN74LVCR2245ADGVR does not require external series resistors because it integrates 26-Ω output termination on all eight channels. This feature is documented in the Features section and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "All Outputs Have Equivalent 26-Ω Series Resistors." The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR's built-in resistance reduces signal reflections and EMI, eliminating two passive components per channel and simplifying PCB layout.
How does SN74LVCR2245ADGVR support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
SN74LVCR2245ADGVR supports hot-swap via its Ioff circuitry, which disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow from powered buses into unpowered circuitry. This behavior is specified in the Features list and Functional Modes table, and is validated per JESD78 latch-up testing (>250 mA). The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR remains safe during partial power-down sequences common in modular server and telecom chassis.
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVCR2245ADGVR?
The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR is fully specified for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C, as stated in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and confirmed in Switching Characteristics tables covering both –40°C to 85°C and –40°C to 125°C ranges. This extended temperature grade makes the SN74LVCR2245ADGVR suitable for fanless industrial enclosures and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits.
Which package type does SN74LVCR2245ADGVR use, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
SN74LVCR2245ADGVR uses the TVSOP (DGV) package: 20-pin, 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and Q1 pin-1 orientation per TI's tape-and-reel specification. This compact footprint is documented in the Device Information table and Packaging Addendum, with thermal metrics (RθJA = 114.7°C/W) confirming suitability for thermally constrained layouts. The SN74LVCR2245ADGVR's DGV package balances density, thermal performance, and manufacturability for high-volume SMT assembly.
