Product details
Overview
SN74LVT245BZQNR 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 industrial backplane and FPGA interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT245BZQNR datasheet, SN74LVT245BZQNR pinout, SN74LVT245BZQNR application, or SN74LVT245BZQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3-V supply compatibility, 5-V tolerant I/O, hot-swap support, output drive strength (64 mA sink), and VFBGA-20 (ZQN) package thermal performance (θJA = 78°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74LVT245BZQNR implements TTL-compatible level translation with asynchronous bidirectional bus control: DIR selects direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables all outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state. Its Ioff circuitry blocks current backflow during power-down, and power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain Hi-Z until VCC stabilizes.
It operates across 2.7–3.6 V VCC, supports 5.5-V inputs, delivers VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 64 mA sink, VOH ≥ 2.0 V at −32 mA source, and achieves tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF). 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 from unregulated batteries down to 2.7 V without external regulation. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting components. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or trace capacitance in dense PCB layouts. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 3.5 ns - Supports high-speed data transfer up to ~100 MHz bus rates in synchronous systems. |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff and power-up 3-state - Prevents damaging current flow and bus contention during live board insertion. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and field operation. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - Ensures reliability in noisy or fault-prone power environments. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-20 package (ZQN), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5-mm ball pitch, lead-free, bottom-terminal array with standard MicroStar Junior configuration per JEDEC MO-225 variation BC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data terminal connected to local bus (e.g., FPGA or ASIC side); tolerates 5-V signals at 3.3-V VCC. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data terminal connected to remote bus (e.g., legacy controller or memory side); same 5-V tolerance. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-High logic: HIGH routes A→B, LOW routes B→A; no internal pullup/pulldown - requires external bias if floating. |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW: LOW enables transceiver, HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state; tied to VCC via pullup for safe power-up. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 3.3-V nominal supply; accepts 2.7–3.6 V; powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required near ball A1. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for I/O and supply currents; two dedicated GND balls (E4, E5) minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant I/O on 3.3-V VCC eliminates need for external level shifters in hybrid-voltage systems. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff limits reverse current to ±100 µA at VCC = 0, enabling safe insertion into live backplanes or hot-swap modules. |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain Hi-Z until VCC reaches functional threshold (~1.5 V), preventing bus conflicts during power ramp. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures signal integrity during heavy simultaneous switching of all 8 outputs. |
| Industry-standard ESD/latch-up | Exceeds JESD 22 (HBM/MM/CDM) and JESD 78 Class II - qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure use. |

| Industrial Backplane Interface | FPGA-to-ASIC Data Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower drive (24 mA sink), 1.65–3.6 V VCC, no Ioff or power-up 3-state | Suitable only for non-hot-swap, low-noise 3.3-V-only systems; lacks 5-V tolerance and robust insertion support | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs hot-swap requirement and 5-V interfacing is unnecessary. |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing, 1.2–3.6 V dual-supply, higher propagation delay (6.2 ns), no 5-V tolerance | Designed for automatic bidirectional translation between disparate low-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V), not mixed 3.3/5-V | Select only for fully autonomous direction detection in ultra-low-voltage systems where 5-V compatibility is irrelevant. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and TXB0108PWR, the SN74LVT245BZQNR uniquely combines 5-V I/O tolerance, hot-insertion capability, and sub-4-ns timing - making it irreplaceable in legacy-system integration where voltage bridging and live maintenance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVT245BZQNR can tolerate on its A/B pins?
The SN74LVT245BZQNR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A and B port pins, regardless of VCC level (2.7–3.6 V), enabling direct connection to 5-V TTL logic without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry. This 5-V tolerance is explicitly specified in the recommended operating conditions table and verified across temperature.
Does the SN74LVT245BZQNR support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVT245BZQNR supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±100 µA when VCC = 0, and power-up 3-state holds all outputs in high-impedance until VCC reaches functional threshold. These are documented in the device description and absolute maximum ratings sections of the SCES004H datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74LVT245BZQNR in its ZQN package?
The SN74LVT245BZQNR in the ZQN (VFBGA-20) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 78°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions per JESD 51-7 and is critical for thermal design in enclosed or high-power-density applications.
Can the SN74LVT245BZQNR be used with a 2.5-V supply?
No - the SN74LVT245BZQNR is not rated for 2.5-V operation. Its recommended VCC range is strictly 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with minimum supply voltage defined by both functional operation (2.7 V) and Ioff specification (VCC = 0). Operation below 2.7 V may result in undefined logic states or failure to meet timing and drive specifications.
How does the DIR pin control data flow direction in the SN74LVT245BZQNR?
In the SN74LVT245BZQNR, the DIR pin is an active-HIGH control: when DIR = HIGH, data flows from A bus to B bus; when DIR = LOW, data flows from B bus to A bus. This behavior is confirmed in the FUNCTION TABLE and logic diagram of the SCES004H datasheet, and DIR has no internal pullup - external biasing is required if left unconnected.
