Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver designed for 3.3-V VCC operation with mixed-mode 5-V input/output compatibility, supporting asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses. It features bus-hold circuitry, Ioff-enabled hot insertion, 22-Ω integrated series resistors on B-port outputs, and operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It is used in voltage-level translation between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V systems in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 datasheet, SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 pinout, SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 application, or SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin SSOP package, ±100 µA Ioff current at VCC = 0 V, 12 mA B-port drive capability, and support for unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-supply-tolerant transceiver architecture with independent direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls. Its A-port accepts TTL-level inputs up to 5.5 V while operating from a 3.3-V supply, and B-port outputs include built-in 22-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.
The integrated bus-hold circuit maintains unused data inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors. Power-up 3-state and Ioff functionality ensure high-impedance outputs during power sequencing and prevent backflow current when powered down-critical for hot-plug applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery rails and low-noise 3.3-V system supplies |
| IOH/IOL (B port) | −12 mA / +12 mA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads without external buffering |
| tPLH/tPHL (A→B) | 1.1 ns to 5.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables sub-5-ns propagation for high-speed bus arbitration |
| VI (Input Voltage) | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct interface to 5-V CMOS/TTL signal sources without level shifters |
| Ioff (VCC = 0 V) | ±100 µA - prevents damaging back-current during hot insertion or partial power-down |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VCC = 3 V - actively holds floating inputs without external resistors or board space |
| VOL (A port, IOL = 64 mA) | 0.55 V max - ensures robust low-level noise margin under full load |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65-mm lead pitch, 7.4-mm body width, and 2.0-mm maximum height per JEDEC MO-150. The package is RoHS-compliant, lead-finished with NiPdAu, and rated MSL-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 inputs/outputs | Noninverting data terminals for A-bus side; tolerate 5-V inputs while powered by 3.3-V VCC |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B1–B8 outputs/inputs | B-port drivers include 22-Ω series resistance; sink/source up to 12 mA each |
| 9 | DIR | Direction control: low = B→A, high = A→B; TTL-compatible threshold (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) |
| 10 | OE | Active-low output enable; drives all A/B ports into high-Z when high; supports power-up 3-state |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3-V supply input; must be stabilized within 2.7–3.6 V; decoupling required near pin |
| 19 | GND | Signal ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; separate return path recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC enables seamless interfacing between legacy and modern logic families |
| Integrated 22-Ω B-port series resistors | Eliminates need for eight discrete termination resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB layout complexity |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Actively maintains logic state on unused A/B data lines, preventing metastability without external biasing |
| Ioff and power-up 3-state | Guarantees high-impedance outputs during power transitions, enabling safe hot-insertion in modular backplanes |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - ensures robustness against transient-induced latch-up in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2245APWRE4 | Lower drive strength (24 mA A-port, 12 mA B-port); no bus-hold; 1.65–3.6 V VCC range | Lacks integrated bus-hold and 5-V input tolerance; requires external pullups on floating lines | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for bus-hold and 5-V compatibility |
| SN74AVC2245RGYR | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.8 ns), 1.2–3.6 V VCC, no 5-V tolerance, no bus-hold | Designed for ultra-low-voltage mobile interfaces; incompatible with 5-V signal sources | Choose only for sub-1.8-V systems where 5-V tolerance is irrelevant |
Compared with SN74LVTH2245NSRE4, SN74LVC2245APWRE4 reduces cost but sacrifices 5-V input support and bus-hold; SN74AVC2245RGYR improves speed and voltage flexibility but removes both 5-V tolerance and bus-hold-making SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 uniquely suited for mixed-voltage industrial retrofits requiring zero external biasing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SN74LVTH2245NSRE4?
The SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, regardless of VCC level. This 5-V tolerance enables direct connection to legacy TTL or CMOS signal sources without external level-shifting circuitry, and is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SCBS707E datasheet.
Does SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 require external pullup resistors on unused data lines?
No. SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-port data inputs, maintaining floating lines at valid logic levels without external components. Using pullup or pulldown resistors with enabled bus-hold is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet to avoid conflict and excessive current draw.
Can SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 operate reliably at 2.7 V VCC?
Yes. SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 is fully specified from 2.7 V to 3.6 V VCC, including guaranteed switching performance (e.g., tPLH ≤ 5.3 ns at VCC = 2.7 V), output drive (IOL = 64 mA min on A port), and bus-hold functionality. This makes it suitable for battery-powered applications with declining supply voltage.
What is the purpose of the 22-Ω series resistance on the B-port outputs of SN74LVTH2245NSRE4?
The 22-Ω series resistance integrated into each B-port output of SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 reduces signal overshoot and undershoot on transmission lines, minimizing EMI and improving signal integrity without requiring external termination resistors. This feature simplifies PCB layout and lowers BOM cost for point-to-point or short-bus connections.
How does SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 support hot insertion in live backplane systems?
SN74LVTH2245NSRE4 supports hot insertion via two complementary features: Ioff circuitry limits current to ±100 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow into powered circuitry; and power-up 3-state forces outputs into high-impedance during power ramp-up, eliminating bus contention. Both are validated per JESD 78 and JESD 17 standards.
