Product details
Overview
SN74LVT245BDW from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 3.3-V and 5-V systems. It supports mixed-mode signal operation, hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Key parameters include tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns (VCC = 3.3 V), IOL = 64 mA, and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at full drive.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT245BDW datasheet, SN74LVT245BDW pinout, SN74LVT245BDW application, or SN74LVT245BDW equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting in memory interfaces, backplane data buses, and hot-pluggable peripheral interconnects where TTL-compatible 3.3-V logic and robust isolation during power sequencing are required.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT245BDW implements an advanced BiCMOS ABT (Advanced Bus Transceiver) architecture enabling high-speed bidirectional data flow between A and B buses under DIR control, with OE enabling/disabling all outputs simultaneously. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot insertion.
It features TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while operating from a 3.3-V supply, allowing direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without external level shifters. Output ground bounce (VOLP) is specified < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, supporting noise-tolerant system design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation across unregulated battery supplies and low-noise 3.3-V rails. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >200 Mbps data rates in point-to-point or stub-bus topologies. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 64 mA, IOH = −32 mA - Sustains full-strength signaling into 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads. |
| Input Voltage Range | VI up to 5.5 V - Accepts 5-V TTL inputs directly without clamping diodes or external resistors. |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff ≤ ±100 μA at VCC = 0 - Prevents damaging current flow when board is inserted into live backplane. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements per JESD22. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 58°C/W (DW package) - Enables reliable operation at 85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT245BDW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B; enables bidirectional bus arbitration. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit parallel interface for one side of the bus; driven by or drives external logic depending on DIR/OE state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance for noise control. |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 3.3-V core supply; supports down to 2.7 V for brownout tolerance in battery-powered systems. |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places all A/B outputs in high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| 13–20 (B1–B8) | Port B Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit parallel interface for second bus segment; electrically identical to A port but physically isolated. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V interface | Accepts 5-V TTL inputs while powered from 3.3 V - eliminates external level shifters in hybrid voltage systems. |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain high-Z during power ramp (Δt/ΔVCC ≤ 200 μs/V) - prevents bus contention at power-on/off. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II - ensures survivability in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |
| Low output ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - maintains signal integrity and timing margins in high-speed parallel buses. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff ≤ ±100 μA at VCC = 0 - enables safe field replacement of modules in live backplanes without system shutdown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH245ADW | Lower drive strength (IOL = 24 mA), higher tPLH/tPHL (≤5.5 ns), LVTH family with different input threshold behavior. | Suitable for lower-speed, lower-power applications; not rated for 5-V input tolerance beyond VI = 5.5 V absolute max. | Select SN74LVTH245ADW only if system load capacitance and speed requirements allow relaxed timing and reduced drive. |
| 74ALVC16245DGG | 16-bit dual-octave, 3.3-V only (no 5-V input tolerance), different pinout, higher ICC in active state. | Used in wider data paths requiring 16-bit width; lacks mixed-voltage capability and hot-insertion Ioff support. | Choose 74ALVC16245DGG only when 16-bit width is mandatory and 5-V interface is absent; verify thermal derating for DW footprint. |
Compared with SN74LVTH245ADW and 74ALVC16245DGG, the SN74LVT245BDW uniquely combines 5-V-tolerant inputs, 64-mA drive, sub-4-ns delay, and certified hot-insertion capability in a standard 20-pin SOIC - making it the preferred choice for robust, mixed-voltage, high-speed bus bridging.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74LVT245BDW?
The SN74LVT245BDW supports effective data rates exceeding 200 Mbps in point-to-point configurations, based on its guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns (VCC = 3.3 V) and tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 7.1 ns. Real-world throughput depends on bus loading, termination, and PCB layout; for stub-bus topologies, derate to ~100 Mbps to maintain signal integrity.
Can the SN74LVT245BDW safely interface a 5-V microcontroller with a 3.3-V FPGA?
Yes - the SN74LVT245BDW accepts 5-V TTL inputs (VI up to 5.5 V) while operating from a 3.3-V VCC, making it ideal for bidirectional interfacing between 5-V microcontrollers and 3.3-V FPGAs. Its 5-V-tolerant inputs eliminate external clamping or voltage dividers, and its 3-state outputs prevent contention during reset sequences.
How does the SN74LVT245BDW handle power sequencing during hot insertion?
The SN74LVT245BDW uses integrated Ioff and power-up 3-state circuitry to ensure safe hot insertion: Ioff limits current to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow into powered systems; power-up 3-state holds outputs high-Z until VCC reaches valid logic levels, avoiding bus conflicts during ramp-up.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on the SN74LVT245BDW?
Texas Instruments recommends tying OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; for typical 3.3-V systems, a 4.7-kΩ resistor provides sufficient margin while limiting standby current to <1 mA, per SCES004H guidelines.
Is the SN74LVT245BDW pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVT245B family?
Yes - the SN74LVT245BDW (SOIC-DW) shares identical pinout and electrical functionality with SN74LVT245BDBR (SSOP-DB), SN74LVT245BPWR (TSSOP-PW), and SN74LVT245BRGYR (VQFN-RGY). All variants use the same 20-pin functional mapping, enabling drop-in replacement across packages when thermal and board space constraints permit.
