Product details
Overview
SN74LVT245BDWR 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 down to 2.7 V. Key parameters include VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns at 3.3 V, and IOL = 64 mA.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT245BDWR datasheet, SN74LVT245BDWR pinout, SN74LVT245BDWR application, or SN74LVT245BDWR equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting in memory interfaces, FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects, and industrial backplane buses where TTL-compatible 3.3-V logic isolation and low ground bounce (<0.8 V) are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT245BDWR implements an advanced BiCMOS ABT (Advanced Bus Transceiver) architecture enabling true 5-V-tolerant inputs while operating from a 3.3-V supply. Its DIR-controlled bidirectional data path allows A→B or B→A transmission, and OE enables full 3-state isolation of both buses.
Hot-insertion support is achieved through dual protection mechanisms: Ioff limits current backflow when VCC = 0 V, and power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during power ramping (Δt/ΔVCC ≤ 200 μs/V). Latch-up immunity exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation under unregulated battery supply or noisy rail conditions. |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / +64 mA - Supports driving standard TTL loads and fan-out to multiple CMOS inputs. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤3.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Ensures sub-4 ns propagation delay for high-speed bus arbitration and timing-critical transfers. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts. |
| VI (Input Voltage) | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5-V logic without external level shifters or clamping diodes. |
| Ioff | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 - Prevents damaging back-current during live board insertion or partial power-down. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements without added protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT245BDWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm × 2.65 mm (max height), with 1.27-mm lead pitch and JEDEC MS-013 compliance.
| 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. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional bus interface on side A; 5-V tolerant with 3.3-V VCC. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance. |
| 11 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 3.3-V nominal supply; supports operation down to 2.7 V with full parameter guarantee. |
| 12 (OE) | Output enable input | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H forces all A/B pins to high-impedance. |
| 13–20 (B1–B8) | Port B data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional bus interface on side B; electrically identical to A port. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V input tolerance with 3.3-V VCC eliminates need for external level translators in hybrid-voltage systems. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent bus contention and backfeed damage during live card replacement. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at 3.3 V ensures signal integrity in multi-driver environments with shared ground planes. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - guarantees robust operation in high-noise industrial settings. |
| ESD protection | 2000-V HBM rating reduces risk of field failure without supplemental TVS components. |
Applications
| Memory Interface Expansion | FPGA-to-Microcontroller Interconnect |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding external SRAM or Flash memory address/data bus between a 3.3-V microcontroller and legacy 5-V memory devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional level-shifting transceiver enabling synchronous read/write cycles across voltage domains. Use Value: Eliminates discrete resistor-divider or active translator circuits, reducing BOM count and layout area while maintaining <4 ns propagation delay. | Use Scenario: Connecting a 3.3-V FPGA I/O bank to a 5-V industrial microcontroller UART or parallel control bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolating and translating control signals (e.g., chip select, interrupt, data strobes) with precise timing alignment. Use Value: Guarantees VI up to 5.5 V and VOLP <0.8 V, preventing false triggering and ground noise corruption in real-time control loops. |
| Industrial Backplane Data Routing | Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Routing sensor data or configuration commands across modular PLC backplanes with mixed 3.3-V and 5-V modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hot-pluggable bus isolator ensuring safe module insertion/removal without disrupting active communication. Use Value: Ioff ≤ ±100 μA and power-up 3-state prevent bus lockup or latch-up during field maintenance. | Use Scenario: Conditioning digital stimulus/response signals in automated test equipment interfacing legacy 5-V DUTs with modern 3.3-V controller boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision timing buffer with matched tPLH/tPHL (≤3.5 ns) and low skew for synchronized pattern generation. Use Value: Sub-4 ns delay variation and 64 mA drive strength ensure accurate edge placement and load driving across multiple DUT channels. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH245A | Lower drive strength (IOL = 32 mA), no Ioff, 2.7–3.6 V only, no 5-V input tolerance. | Suitable for pure 3.3-V systems without hot-swap or mixed-voltage requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-mode capability and hot-insertion is not required. |
| 74ALVC16245 | 16-bit version, same VCC range, but lacks Ioff and has lower ESD rating (1500-V HBM). | Used in wider data paths (e.g., 16-bit memory buses); requires external hot-swap protection. | Choose for higher bandwidth needs where pin count and board space allow 16-bit width and external protection is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74LVTH245A and 74ALVC16245, the SN74LVT245BDWR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, Ioff-enabled hot insertion, and 64 mA drive in a compact 20-pin SOIC - making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage backplane and live-replaceable module designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVT245BDWR?
The SN74LVT245BDWR is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, outdoor test instrumentation, and embedded systems deployed in thermally demanding environments without derating.
Does the SN74LVT245BDWR require external pull-up resistors on OE or DIR?
OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down. DIR has no such requirement and may be driven directly from logic outputs or pulled to VCC/GND as needed for fixed-direction operation.
Can the SN74LVT245BDWR interface directly with 5-V CMOS logic?
Yes - the SN74LVT245BDWR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A and B port pins while operating from a 3.3-V VCC. This 5-V-tolerant input capability allows direct connection to standard 5-V CMOS outputs without level-shifting components.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74LVT245BDWR in its SOIC (DW) package?
The SN74LVT245BDWR in the SOIC (DW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 58°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and enables thermal design margin estimation for continuous operation at full drive strength.
Is the SN74LVT245BDWR pin-compatible with other members of the SN74LVT245B family?
Yes - all SN74LVT245B variants (including DBR, NSR, PWR, RGYR) share identical 20-pin functional pinouts and logic behavior. The SN74LVT245BDWR is fully interchangeable at the board level with other package variants, differing only in mechanical form factor and thermal characteristics.
