Product details
Overview
SN74LVCZ245ADWR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 3.3-V and 5-V buses. It operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, accepts 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, delivers 6.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state logic-used in mixed-voltage industrial control backplanes and FPGA-to-ASIC interface bridges.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCZ245ADWR datasheet, SN74LVCZ245ADWR pinout, SN74LVCZ245ADWR application, or SN74LVCZ245ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include 5-V input tolerance, 3.3-V VCC compatibility, direction-control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) logic behavior, thermal performance in SOIC-DW package, and latch-up immunity per JESD78 Class II.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCZ245ADWR implements dual-bus bidirectional translation using a single DIR input to select A→B or B→A data flow, while OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance state. Its Ioff circuitry blocks current backflow during power-down, and power-up 3-state ensures isolation when VCC is below 1.5 V.
It supports mixed-mode signaling: 5-V inputs are safely accepted with 3.3-V VCC, enabling level-shifting without external resistors. Electrical characteristics are fully specified across –40°C to 85°C, with VOH ≥2.2 V and VOL ≤0.55 V under 24-mA load at 3 V, and Cio = 6 pF per port at 3.3 V.
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 5-V input tolerance |
| Max Propagation Delay | 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - determines maximum achievable data rate in synchronous bus systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to legacy 5-V logic without level-shifters |
| Ioff Current | ±5 µA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial-power-down |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD78 Class II - ensures robustness against transient-induced parasitic thyristor activation |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3 V - supports driving 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 42 pF (enabled), 3 pF (disabled) - directly impacts dynamic power consumption at 10 MHz switching |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCZ245ADWR uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 7.5 mm × 13.3 mm × 2.65 mm, with standard 1.27-mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Thermal resistance θJA is 58°C/W.
| 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 Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to one bus segment; 5-V tolerant when VCC = 3.3 V |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V power rail; powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required near pin |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Low = outputs active; High = all outputs forced high-impedance - enables bus isolation |
| 13–20 (B1–B8) | Port B Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to second bus segment; identical electrical specs to Port A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-V Input Tolerance | Supports direct interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals without external voltage translators |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent bus contention and backfeed damage during live board replacement |
| Mixed-Mode Signal Operation | Enables seamless communication between 3.3-V FPGAs and 5-V sensors or DACs in same system |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V ensures signal integrity during simultaneous output switching |
| JESD78 Class II Latch-Up | Guarantees survival under worst-case ESD or surge events in industrial environments |

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 Z-series ground bounce/undershoot suppression; higher VOLP/VOHV (typ. 1.2 V / 1.5 V vs. <0.8 V / >2 V) | Lacks optimized noise margins for high-speed mixed-voltage routing; less suitable for dense PCB layouts | Choose SN74LVCZ245ADWR where simultaneous switching noise must be minimized |
| 74AVC16245 | 16-bit, dual-supply (1.2–3.6 V), no 5-V input tolerance; requires external biasing for 5-V interface | Designed for ultra-low-voltage core logic; not drop-in compatible for 5-V legacy integration | Choose SN74LVCZ245ADWR when backward compatibility with 5-V peripherals is mandatory |
Compared with SN74LVC245A, SN74LVCZ245ADWR delivers superior noise immunity and cleaner edges; compared with 74AVC16245, it provides native 5-V input support without auxiliary circuitry-making SN74LVCZ245ADWR optimal for retrofitting 3.3-V systems into existing 5-V infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVCZ245ADWR?
The SN74LVCZ245ADWR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the recommended operating conditions table. This range applies to all electrical and switching specifications, including propagation delay, drive strength, and 5-V input tolerance. The SOIC-DW package's θJA of 58°C/W supports thermal design within this envelope under typical PCB copper pour conditions.
Does the SN74LVCZ245ADWR require external pull-up resistors on OE or DIR?
The SN74LVCZ245ADWR does not require external pull-ups on DIR, but OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor when VCC exceeds 1.5 V to guarantee high-impedance state-minimum value determined by driver sink capability. This requirement is explicitly stated in the datasheet to ensure reliable bus isolation during power transitions.
Can the SN74LVCZ245ADWR be used with a 2.5-V supply?
No-the SN74LVCZ245ADWR is specified only for 2.7 V to 3.6 V VCC operation. At 2.5 V, parameters including VOH, VOL, tpd, and 5-V input tolerance are not guaranteed. For 2.5-V systems, TI recommends alternatives such as SN74AVC245 or SN74LVC245A with adjusted VCC constraints.
How does the SN74LVCZ245ADWR handle simultaneous switching noise?
The SN74LVCZ245ADWR incorporates proprietary Z-series circuitry that limits typical output ground bounce (VOLP) to <0.8 V and output undershoot (VOHV) to >2 V at 3.3 V and 25°C. This is achieved via optimized output stage design and internal compensation-directly reducing crosstalk and false triggering in high-density digital systems.
Is the SN74LVCZ245ADWR pin-compatible with SN74LVC245ADWR?
Yes-SN74LVCZ245ADWR and SN74LVC245ADWR share identical SOIC-DW packaging, pin count (20), pinout, and mechanical footprint. However, they differ electrically: SN74LVCZ245ADWR adds Z-series noise suppression and tighter VOLP/VOHV specs, while SN74LVC245ADWR lacks these enhancements. No PCB changes are required for substitution, but system-level noise testing is advised.
