Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245AGQNR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between A and B buses in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, accepts 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and integrates 26-Ω output series resistors-enabling direct interface between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V peripherals in server backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR datasheet, SN74LVCR2245AGQNR pinout, SN74LVCR2245AGQNR application, or SN74LVCR2245AGQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, ±12 mA output drive capability per channel, 26-Ω on-die termination, -40°C to 125°C operating range, and VQFN-20 (RGY) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data translation using a single DIR control input to select A→B or B→A directionality, while OE independently enables/disables all eight channels into high-impedance state. Its Ioff circuitry ensures zero current backflow when VCC = 0 V, supporting partial-power-down operation in hot-swap systems.
The integrated 26-Ω series output resistance suppresses signal overshoot/undershoot without external components, and input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows safe interfacing with 5-V drivers even when VCC is as low as 1.65 V-making it suitable for level-shifting in heterogeneous voltage domains.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR can tolerate?
The SN74LVCR2245AGQNR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, regardless of VCC level-enabling direct interface with 5-V logic families without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and is independent of the 1.65–3.6 V VCC supply voltage.
Does the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR require external series resistors for signal integrity?
No, the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR does not require external series resistors because it integrates 26-Ω output series resistors on all eight channels. These on-die resistors suppress overshoot and undershoot, reduce EMI, and improve signal integrity on transmission lines-eliminating two external components per channel and saving PCB space in dense layouts.
How does the Ioff feature of the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR support hot-swap applications?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR disables all outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion or removal of the device while other system components remain powered. This protects upstream drivers and downstream loads from latch-up or damage during live module replacement-critical for telecom and server chassis designs.
What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR at 3.3 V?
The SN74LVCR2245AGQNR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, with typical values lower under nominal conditions. This delay applies to both A→B and B→A directions and remains within 7.3 ns across the full -40°C to 125°C operating range, ensuring predictable timing in high-speed synchronous bus architectures.
Which package type does the SN74LVCR2245AGQNR use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The SN74LVCR2245AGQNR uses the VQFN-20 (RGY) package: 4.50 mm × 3.50 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, wettable flank terminals, and an exposed thermal pad. Its compact footprint supports high-density routing, while the flanked leads enable reliable automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder joint quality verification in surface-mount assembly.
