Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245ADW 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 FPGA-to-peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR2245ADW datasheet, SN74LVCR2245ADW pinout, SN74LVCR2245ADW application, or SN74LVCR2245ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include its Ioff-enabled partial-power-down capability, 125°C operating temperature range, 5.5-V input overvoltage tolerance, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR2245ADW implements a noninverting dual-bus architecture controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) pins. Its logic flow is fully asynchronous: when OE is low, data propagates either A→B (DIR = high) or B→A (DIR = low); when OE is high, all outputs enter high-impedance state - isolating both buses.
Each of the eight bidirectional I/O channels includes on-die 26-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components. The device's Ioff circuitry actively blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, supporting live insertion and back-drive protection in hot-swap systems.
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 microcontrollers or legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3-V rails. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100 MHz data rates in point-to-point bus applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA per channel - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 μA at VI/VO = 5.5 V and VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during partial power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114 and JESD22-C101 requirements for robust manufacturing handling. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCR2245ADW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm, with standard 0.600-inch body width and 0.050-inch lead pitch. This through-hole-compatible footprint supports legacy reflow and wave-solder processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - determines real-time bus directionality without clocking. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bidirectional I/O port A | Connects to source bus (e.g., MCU data bus); tolerates 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC setting. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V). |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bidirectional I/O port B | Connects to destination bus (e.g., peripheral or memory interface); electrically identical to A-port pins. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable input | Active-low control: OE = low enables transceiver; OE = high forces all A/B pins into high-Z isolation state. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Single-supply rail (1.65–3.6 V); requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for external termination components, reducing PCB area and BOM count while controlling edge rates. |
| Mixed-voltage interface support | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs allow seamless integration between 3.3-V SoCs and 5-V sensors, displays, or legacy peripherals. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents destructive current flow when VCC is off but signals remain active on A/B buses - essential for hot-plug systems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes, improving signal integrity in dense multi-channel designs. |
| 125°C maximum operating temperature | Enables deployment in thermally demanding environments such as motor drives, base station RF modules, and engine control units. |

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 | Lacks 5.5-V input tolerance; max VI = VCC + 0.5 V - requires external clamping for 5-V signal sources. | Suitable only in pure 3.3-V systems; not recommended for mixed-voltage interconnects. | Select SN74LVCR2245ADW when interfacing 5-V peripherals; choose SN74LVC245A only if all connected devices operate at ≤3.6 V. |
| SN74AVC245 | Supports lower VCC (1.2–3.6 V) and higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns @ 3.3 V), but no integrated series resistors. | Requires external 26-Ω resistors per line for overshoot control - increases layout complexity and cost. | Choose SN74AVC245 only for sub-3-V ultra-low-power designs where timing margin is critical and board space permits discrete termination. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74AVC245, the SN74LVCR2245ADW uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, on-die 26-Ω termination, and Ioff protection - making it the only option that satisfies mixed-voltage, hot-swap, and signal-integrity requirements simultaneously in industrial and automotive bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCR2245ADW can tolerate?
The SN74LVCR2245ADW accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, independent of VCC value - enabling direct connection to 5-V logic sources while operating from 1.65–3.6-V supplies. This overvoltage tolerance is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified across –40°C to 125°C.
Does the SN74LVCR2245ADW require external series resistors for signal integrity?
No. The SN74LVCR2245ADW integrates 26-Ω series resistors on all eight A- and B-port outputs, eliminating the need for external termination components. This design reduces PCB area, simplifies layout, and ensures consistent edge-rate control - confirmed by typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V measurements at 3.3 V.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74LVCR2245ADW during power-down?
When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff circuitry in the SN74LVCR2245ADW disables all output drivers and blocks current flow between A/B ports and VCC/GND, limiting leakage to ±10 μA. This prevents back-driving and latch-up in partial-power-down scenarios - a requirement validated per JESD78 and documented in Section 9.3 of the datasheet.
What is the propagation delay specification for the SN74LVCR2245ADW at 3.3 V?
The SN74LVCR2245ADW has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, measured under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF, ΔV = ±0.3 V). This value is guaranteed across –40°C to 125°C per Table 7.7 in the SCAS581N datasheet.
Which package type does the SN74LVCR2245ADW use, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
The SN74LVCR2245ADW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with nominal dimensions of 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm and 0.600-inch body width. Its lead pitch is 0.050 inch, and it is rated for Level-1 moisture sensitivity with unlimited floor life - matching legacy industrial PCB assembly standards.
