Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR2245APWR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow 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 SN74LVCR2245APWR datasheet, SN74LVCR2245APWR pinout, SN74LVCR2245APWR application, or SN74LVCR2245APWR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (3.3-V core / 5-V interface), guaranteed 125°C operation, Ioff-enabled partial power-down, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer using a single DIR control line to select A→B or B→A direction, while OE independently enables/disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its CMOS input structure accepts voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling robust level-shifting without external components.
The integrated 26-Ω series output resistors suppress overshoot/undershoot without requiring external termination, and the Ioff circuit actively blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down systems where bus isolation must be maintained during supply sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports dual-supply systems and low-power embedded rails |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level shifters |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size), lead-free with NiPdAu finish, moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - determines signal path polarity |
| 2–9, 11–18 (A1–A8, B1–B8) | Bidirectional I/O channels | Octal bus ports with 5.5-V-tolerant inputs and 26-Ω series output resistance |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all signals and internal logic - must be low-impedance connection |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all outputs in high-Z - enables bus isolation |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 1.65–3.6-V core supply - requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interface | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs operate reliably with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates external level translators in 3.3/5-V hybrid systems |
| Integrated output termination | 26-Ω series resistors on all outputs reduce ringing and EMI without discrete components - simplifies layout and lowers BOM count |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V - protects powered-down devices from back-driving by live buses during hot-swap or fault conditions |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to 125°C - suitable for uncooled telecom line cards and industrial control cabinets |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V - maintains signal integrity during simultaneous switching of all eight outputs |

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 + 0.3 V; lacks integrated 26-Ω resistors | Requires external termination and level-shifting circuitry for 5-V interface use | Select when cost is primary and system operates exclusively at matched VCC levels |
| SN74AVC245 | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); higher speed (4.2 ns tpd); no Ioff support | Not suitable for hot-swap or partial-power-down scenarios requiring back-drive protection | Select for ultra-low-voltage portable designs where Ioff is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74AVC245, the SN74LVCR2245APWR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated output resistors, and Ioff - making it the only choice for robust, translator-free interconnect in mixed-voltage, hot-pluggable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCR2245APWR can tolerate?
The SN74LVCR2245APWR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct connection to 5-V logic families without external level-shifting components. This specification is verified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Does the SN74LVCR2245APWR support hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVCR2245APWR supports hot-swap applications through its Ioff feature, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. This prevents damage to powered-down devices connected to live buses - a requirement confirmed in TI's Detailed Description section and validated by JESD78 latch-up testing (>250 mA).
What is the purpose of the integrated 26-Ω resistors in the SN74LVCR2245APWR?
The integrated 26-Ω series resistors on all outputs of the SN74LVCR2245APWR suppress signal overshoot and undershoot, reducing EMI and improving signal integrity without requiring external termination components. This design feature is specified in the Features section and confirmed by typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V measurements at 3.3 V.
Can the SN74LVCR2245APWR operate at 125°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the SN74LVCR2245APWR is fully specified for operation from –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, with switching characteristics (tpd, ten, tdis) and DC parameters validated across this range. This qualification is documented in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 of the datasheet and supported by thermal metrics including RθJA = 102.5°C/W for the PW package.
How does the DIR pin control data direction in the SN74LVCR2245APWR?
The DIR pin on the SN74LVCR2245APWR selects data flow direction: logic high enables A→B transmission, while logic low enables B→A transmission. This function is defined in the Device Functional Modes table (Table 2) and implemented via internal logic that routes signals accordingly - independent of OE state, which only controls output enable/disable.
