Product details
Overview
SN74LVCZ245ADW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 2.7-V and 3.6-V buses. It supports mixed-mode signaling (5-V inputs with 3.3-V VCC), delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and features Ioff and power-up 3-state for hot-insertion in backplane or modular systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCZ245ADW datasheet, SN74LVCZ245ADW pinout, SN74LVCZ245ADW application, or SN74LVCZ245ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC-DW package, 5.5-V tolerant inputs, ±24-mA drive strength at 3 V, and guaranteed high-impedance state during power sequencing.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCZ245ADW implements dual-directional data routing controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) logic inputs. Its Ioff circuitry blocks current backflow when powered down, while power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance until VCC exceeds 1.5 V - critical for live insertion into powered backplanes.
It operates across –40°C to 85°C with full 3.3-V logic compatibility and 5-V input tolerance on all A/B ports. Electrical characteristics are fully specified for hot-swap environments per JESD78 Class II latch-up performance (>100 mA), and ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and undershoot (VOHV > 2 V) are characterized at 3.3 V/25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - defines valid supply window for guaranteed operation and timing compliance |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - ensures sub-10-ns latency for high-speed bus bridging in real-time systems |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3 V - supports driving 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple LVC loads |
| Ioff Current | ±5 µA at 5.5 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-plug events |
| Power-Up 3-State | Active below 1.5 V VCC - eliminates bus contention during power ramp-up/down sequences |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD78 Class II - meets industrial reliability requirements for robust system integration |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCZ245ADW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm × 2.65 mm (max height), with standard 1.27-mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish. Thermal resistance θJA is 58°C/W.

| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to source bus; tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V power rail; powers internal logic and output stages |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Low-active control: disables all outputs to high-impedance state |
| 13–20 (B1–B8) | Port B Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to destination bus; identical voltage tolerance as Port A |
Key Features

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 Z-series features: no Ioff, no enhanced ground bounce/undershoot specs, no explicit hot-insertion validation | Suitable only for static board-level designs without live insertion requirements | Select SN74LVCZ245ADW where hot-swap, bus isolation during power transitions, or strict noise control are mandatory |
| 74ALVC16245 | 16-bit, dual-supply capable (VCCA/VCCB), higher drive (±24 mA @ 2.5 V), but no Ioff or power-up 3-state | Used in wider data paths and dual-voltage domain bridging, not single-supply hot-plug scenarios | Choose SN74LVCZ245ADW for 8-bit, single-supply, hot-insertion-critical applications with tighter layout constraints |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and 74ALVC16245, the SN74LVCZ245ADW uniquely combines 8-bit bidirectional translation, Ioff-enabled hot-swap safety, and characterized noise margins - making it the only option qualified for live backplane upgrades in industrial and telecom infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage on the input pins of the SN74LVCZ245ADW?
The SN74LVCZ245ADW input pins accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct connection to 5-V logic families while powered from a 3.3-V supply. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and is validated per absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions in the official datasheet SCES275G.
Does the SN74LVCZ245ADW support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVCZ245ADW supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing back-current flow, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC exceeds 1.5 V. These mechanisms are explicitly validated in the datasheet and meet JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA), making SN74LVCZ245ADW suitable for live backplane upgrades.
What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVCZ245ADW at 3.3 V, and under what conditions is it measured?
The SN74LVCZ245ADW has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 6.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, measured under switching conditions with CL = 30 pF and TA = 25°C. This value applies to both A→B and B→A data paths and is specified in the "Switching Characteristics" table of SCES275G, ensuring predictable timing in high-speed bus bridging applications.
Can the SN74LVCZ245ADW be used with a 2.5-V supply voltage?
No - the SN74LVCZ245ADW is specified only for VCC between 2.7 V and 3.6 V per its recommended operating conditions. Operation at 2.5 V falls outside this range and may result in undefined logic thresholds, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet output drive specifications. For 2.5-V systems, consider TI's ALVC or AUC logic families instead.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVCZ245ADW use?
The SN74LVCZ245ADW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package per JEDEC MS-013, with body dimensions of 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm × 2.65 mm (max height), 1.27-mm lead pitch, and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU terminations. Its θJA thermal resistance is 58°C/W, and land pattern recommendations are documented in TI's DW0020A package outline.
