Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245ANSR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 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 robust level translation in server backplanes and industrial control I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR2245ANSR datasheet, SN74LVCR2245ANSR pinout, SN74LVCR2245ANSR application, or SN74LVCR2245ANSR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, guaranteed 125°C operation, 5.5-V input tolerance, and SOP-20 package compatibility with legacy board layouts requiring minimal redesign.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR2245ANSR implements dual-bus directional control via DIR pin and 3-state output enable via OE, allowing configurable A→B or B→A data flow with high-impedance isolation. Its CMOS design integrates on-die 26-Ω series termination per output to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.
It supports partial-power-down operation through Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, while maintaining 5.5-V input tolerance across all operating VCC conditions (1.65–3.6 V). Functional modes are strictly defined by OE/DIR logic combinations per TI's validated truth table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 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 interfacing with 5-V legacy peripherals in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Max tpd | 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - ensures sub-7-ns latency for high-speed bus arbitration in network switches and test equipment. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA per channel - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and light stubs without external buffers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC backplanes. |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences in modular systems. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for handling robustness in manufacturing environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package, 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm body size, with 0.65-mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DIR | Direction control input | Low = B-to-A data flow; High = A-to-B data flow - determines real-time bus directionality. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Port A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to one bus segment; tolerate 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 10 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance. |
| 11–18 B1–B8 | Port B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to second bus segment; electrically identical to A-port pins. |
| 19 OE | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all outputs enter high-impedance state - enables bus isolation. |
| 20 VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω series output resistors | Eliminates need for eight discrete 26-Ω resistors - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and signal integrity tuning effort. |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Enables direct connection to 5-V microcontrollers or sensors without external clamping diodes or translators. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks >10 μA back-current when VCC = 0 V - certified for hot-plug applications like modular server I/O cards. |
| Guaranteed 125°C operation | Validated switching performance up to +125°C ambient - supports deployment in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes - critical for mixed-signal systems with ADCs or precision analog circuits. |

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 5.5-V input tolerance; max VI = VCC + 0.5 V; lacks integrated 26-Ω resistors. | Requires external series resistors and clamping for 5-V interfaces; unsuitable for mixed-voltage hot-swap. | Select only if operating exclusively within 3.3-V domain and external termination is acceptable. |
| SN74AVC245 | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); higher speed (4.2 ns tpd at 3.3 V); no Ioff support. | Not rated for 125°C; cannot safely power down while connected to live 5-V buses. | Prefer for ultra-low-latency 1.2-V/1.8-V systems where thermal margin and hot-swap are not required. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74AVC245, the SN74LVCR2245ANSR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated termination, Ioff, and 125°C qualification - making it the sole choice for ruggedized mixed-voltage backplane and hot-plug applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCR2245ANSR can tolerate?
The SN74LVCR2245ANSR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, regardless of VCC setting (1.65–3.6 V). This is explicitly verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the Feature Description section of the datasheet. The 5.5-V tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5-V logic without external protection components, and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does the SN74LVCR2245ANSR support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, the SN74LVCR2245ANSR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which actively disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. This capability is documented in the Features list, Detailed Description section, and Functional Modes table. Ioff is characterized to limit leakage to ±10 μA at 5.5 V, ensuring safe operation during partial-power-down sequences in modular server and telecom equipment.
What is the purpose of the integrated 26-Ω resistors in the SN74LVCR2245ANSR?
The SN74LVCR2245ANSR integrates 26-Ω series resistors on all eight A- and B-port outputs to damp signal reflections and reduce overshoot/undershoot without requiring external components. This is specified in the Features list and validated by typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V measurements at 3.3 V. The resistors are process-trimmed and temperature-compensated, eliminating layout-dependent impedance matching effort.
Can the SN74LVCR2245ANSR operate at 125°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the SN74LVCR2245ANSR is fully specified and tested for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and Switching Characteristics tables (–40°C to 125°C). Thermal metrics including RθJA = 74.7°C/W (SOP-20) ensure reliable junction temperature control under sustained load at maximum ambient.
What package type does the SN74LVCR2245ANSR use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The SN74LVCR2245ANSR uses the SOP-20 (NS) package, with nominal body dimensions of 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm and 0.65-mm lead pitch. This is confirmed in the Device Information table and Package Option Addendum. The NS package is pin-compatible with legacy SOIC-20 footprints, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB rework.
