Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH245ANS 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, provides bus-hold on all data inputs, and features Ioff and power-up 3-state for hot insertion in industrial backplanes and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH245ANS datasheet, SN74LVTH245ANS pinout, SN74LVTH245ANS application, or SN74LVTH245ANS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOP-NS package, 2.7–3.6-V supply range, ±100 µA Ioff, 3.5 ns typical propagation delay, and support for TTL-level interfacing without external pull resistors.
Technical Context
This device implements an active-high direction-control (DIR) and active-low output-enable (OE) logic architecture to route data bidirectionally between two 8-bit buses (A↔B). Its ABT (Advanced BiCMOS Technology) core delivers low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V) and robust noise immunity across temperature.
The integrated bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on floating A/B inputs without external components, while Ioff protection limits current flow during power-down. The design meets JESD 17 latch-up >500 mA and exceeds JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables stable operation under unregulated battery supply down to 2.7 V |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.3 ns (typ) at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures sub-5 ns timing for high-speed bus arbitration |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA max at VCC = 0 - prevents damaging backflow during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Bus-Hold Current (II(hold)) | ±750 µA max - actively sustains input logic state without external pull resistors |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | 64 mA / −32 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly with no buffer stage |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V logic without level-shifting circuitry |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 60°C/W (NS package) - supports continuous operation at 85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
SOP-NS package: 20-pin surface-mount small-outline plastic package, 7.5 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 2.0 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: disables all A/B outputs into high-impedance state for bus isolation |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Data inputs/outputs for A-side bus; feature bus-hold circuitry |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and I/O stages |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | Data inputs/outputs for B-side bus; feature bus-hold circuitry |
| 19 | DIR | Direction control: low = B→A, high = A→B; determines data flow path |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3-V supply input; powers ABT core and I/O buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage interface | 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates external level shifters in 3.3/5-V hybrid systems |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff + power-up 3-state - prevents bus contention and backdrive damage during live board replacement |
| Integrated bus-hold | Self-biasing on all 16 data pins - removes need for 16 external pullup/pulldown resistors |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at TA = 25°C - reduces switching noise coupling into analog sections or adjacent signals |
| Robust reliability | Latch-up >500 mA (JESD 17), 2000-V HBM ESD - suitable for industrial environments with transient exposure |
Applications

Use Value: VOLP < 0.8 V minimizes timing uncertainty in critical setup/hold windows of high-speed DUTs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Lower drive strength (24 mA IOL), no bus-hold, no Ioff, 1.65–3.6 V VCC | Not suitable for hot-swap or floating-bus scenarios; requires external pull resistors | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs robustness requirements and system guarantees controlled bus states |
| SN74ALVC245 | Higher speed (2.1 ns tPLH), 1.65–3.6 V VCC, no bus-hold, no Ioff | Lacks bus-hold and Ioff - unsuitable for unpowered insertion or undefined input conditions | Prefer only in fully powered, tightly controlled environments where maximum speed justifies added design constraints |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and SN74ALVC245, the SN74LVTH245ANS uniquely combines 5-V tolerance, bus-hold, and Ioff in a single SOP-NS package - making it the only option among the three qualified for hot-swap-capable industrial backplanes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVTH245ANS?
The SN74LVTH245ANS is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal resistance (θJA = 60°C/W) and electrical characterization across the full span. The SN74LVTH245ANS maintains specified VOH/VOL, propagation delay, and Ioff performance within this range.
Does the SN74LVTH245ANS require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data lines?
No, the SN74LVTH245ANS does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its A1–A8 or B1–B8 data lines. It integrates active bus-hold circuitry that maintains valid logic states on unused or floating inputs. Using external resistors with the SN74LVTH245ANS is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet, as it may interfere with bus-hold functionality and increase power consumption.
Can the SN74LVTH245ANS be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVTH245ANS is explicitly designed for hot-insertion applications. Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing damaging current backflow, and its power-up 3-state feature ensures outputs remain in high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These capabilities are verified per JESD 78 and documented in TI's SCBS130T datasheet for the SN74LVTH245ANS.
What is the pin 1 marking and orientation for the SN74LVTH245ANS SOP-NS package?
The SN74LVTH245ANS uses a standard SOP-NS package with pin 1 located at the top-left corner when the part marking "LVTH245A" is read left-to-right with the notch or index mark facing upward. The package outline confirms a 20-pin configuration with 0.65 mm pitch, and the TI DB0020A drawing specifies pin 1 indexing in quadrant Q1 of the tape reel.
How does the SN74LVTH245ANS handle 5-V input signals while operating at 3.3-V VCC?
The SN74LVTH245ANS supports mixed-mode signal operation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct connection to 5-V TTL outputs while powered from 3.3 V. This capability is enabled by ABT input structure and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC) but maintain 5-V compatibility through input-only tolerance - the SN74LVTH245ANS does not generate 5-V outputs.
