Product details
Overview
SN74LVT245BGQNR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver designed for 3.3-V VCC operation with mixed-mode 5-V input/output tolerance, supporting bidirectional data flow between A and B buses under DIR control and high-impedance isolation via OE, with Ioff and power-up 3-state for hot insertion in battery-powered systems down to 2.7 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT245BGQNR datasheet, SN74LVT245BGQNR pinout, SN74LVT245BGQNR application, or SN74LVT245BGQNR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns @ 3.3 V), thermal resistance (θJA = 78°C/W), latch-up immunity (>100 mA), and ESD ratings (2000-V HBM) critical for industrial bus interface design.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT245BGQNR implements TTL-compatible level translation between 3.3-V logic domains and legacy 5-V buses using active pull-up/pull-down output stages, with direction control (DIR) determining A→B or B→A data flow and output-enable (OE) asserting high-impedance state on both ports. Its Ioff circuitry blocks current backflow during power-down, while power-up 3-state prevents bus contention at VCC ramp rates up to 200 µs/V.
It operates across −40°C to 85°C with supply voltage as low as 2.7 V, supports unregulated battery inputs, and features low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V @ 3.3 V), making it suitable for portable and mixed-voltage embedded systems requiring robust hot-swap capability and noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation from single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3-V rails without external LDO. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V on A/B ports - Allows direct connection to 5-V TTL buses without external level shifters. |
| tPLH/tPHL | ≤ 3.5 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports >100-MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed digital interfaces. |
| Ioff | ±100 µA @ VCC = 0 - Prevents damaging back-current during hot insertion or partial power-down. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - Ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets stringent handling and system-level ESD requirements. |
| θJA | 78°C/W for GQN package - Defines thermal derating limits for continuous 64-mA per-output drive in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-20 (GQN) package: 2.5 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5-mm ball pitch, bottom-side solder balls, JEDEC MO-225 variation BC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data lane; accepts 5-V inputs while powered from 3.3-V VCC. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data lane; drives 5-V logic levels with 3.3-V supply. |
| DIR | Direction control | Low = B→A transfer; High = A→B transfer; TTL-compatible threshold (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V). |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low; asserts high-impedance on both A and B ports when high; requires pull-up for safe power-up. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 3.3-V core supply; supports down to 2.7 V for battery brownout tolerance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground plane required; decoupling capacitor placement critical for ground bounce suppression. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH245PWRE | LVTH family: higher drive strength (IOL = 12 mA typical), but no 5-V I/O tolerance - requires external clamping for 5-V bus interfacing. | Best suited for 3.3-V-only systems needing faster edge rates; unsuitable where 5-V inputs are present. | Select only if interfacing exclusively with 3.3-V peripherals and higher sink current is required. |
| 74ALVC16245DGGR | 16-bit dual-octet device in TSSOP-48; supports 1.65–3.6 V VCC, 5-V tolerant I/O, but larger footprint and higher capacitance (Ci = 5 pF vs. 4 pF). | Used in wide-data-path applications like memory expansion; not pin-compatible due to 48-pin count and different pinout. | Choose when 16-bit width is needed and PCB area allows TSSOP-48; verify layout compatibility before substitution. |
Compared with SN74LVT245BGQNR, SN74LVTH245PWRE lacks 5-V I/O tolerance and requires redesign for mixed-voltage use, while 74ALVC16245DGGR offers double width but demands full PCB rework - neither is drop-in; SN74LVT245BGQNR remains optimal for space-constrained 8-bit mixed-voltage isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVT245BGQNR?
The SN74LVT245BGQNR is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, fully specified across this range for all recommended electrical conditions including VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, IOL = 64 mA, and tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4 ns. Thermal performance is validated with θJA = 78°C/W for the GQN package, enabling reliable use in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced airflow.
Does SN74LVT245BGQNR support true 5-V input tolerance?
Yes, SN74LVT245BGQNR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on A and B ports regardless of VCC level, confirmed by absolute maximum rating VI = −0.5 V to 7 V and electrical test condition VI = 5.5 V. This allows direct connection to 5-V TTL buses without external clamping diodes or level translators, a key feature distinguishing it from standard LV or LVC devices.
How does SN74LVT245BGQNR handle power sequencing during hot insertion?
SN74LVT245BGQNR incorporates dedicated Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks reverse current when VCC = 0, plus power-up 3-state logic that holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC reaches valid operating range. These features ensure zero bus contention during live insertion into a powered-backplane system - a requirement explicitly validated per JESD78 and documented in the SCES004H datasheet.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on SN74LVT245BGQNR?
The datasheet specifies that OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor, with minimum value determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source. For typical 3.3-V operation with standard CMOS drivers, a 4.7-kΩ resistor is commonly used; however, exact value depends on driver strength and noise margin requirements - TI recommends verifying against the specific controller's IOH and system noise floor rather than applying a fixed value.
Is SN74LVT245BGQNR pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVT245B family?
No, SN74LVT245BGQNR uses a 20-ball VFBGA (GQN) package with JEDEC MO-225 variation BC footprint, while SOIC (DW), SSOP (DB), TSSOP (PW), and QFN (RGY) variants have distinct pinouts and land patterns. The GQN pin mapping (A1–A8, B1–B8, DIR, OE, VCC, GND) is unique to the ball-grid array configuration and not interchangeable with leaded packages without PCB redesign.
