Product details
Overview
SN74LVTZ245DW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver IC designed for 3.3-V VCC operation with mixed-mode 5-V input/output tolerance, 8-bit bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE pins, and bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull resistors - used in voltage-level translation between 3.3-V logic buses and legacy 5-V systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTZ245DW datasheet, SN74LVTZ245DW pinout, SN74LVTZ245DW application, or SN74LVTZ245DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7–3.6-V supply range, ±64-mA output drive, 4.1–5.7-ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, high-impedance state during power sequencing, and SOIC-20 (DW) package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses using a single direction-control (DIR) signal and output-enable (OE) control. Its ABT BiCMOS process enables TTL-compatible 5-V signaling while operating from a 3.3-V supply, with bus-hold inputs maintaining valid logic states on floating A/B port lines without external components.
It features active high-impedance isolation during power-up/down, supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V, and meets JEDEC JESD-17 latch-up immunity (>500 mA). Output ground bounce (VOLP) is specified <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports wide-input unregulated battery rails and stable 3.3-V system operation |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly without buffer stages |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2.5 ns to 5.7 ns - ensures sub-6-ns timing margins for high-speed 3.3-V bus interfacing |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - compatible with both 3.3-V CMOS and 5-V TTL input thresholds |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA - actively holds unused A/B port inputs at valid logic levels, removing need for external resistors |
| ICC (Active) | 8.8 mA max at VCC = 3.6 V - low static power dissipation critical for portable and thermally constrained designs |
| IOFF | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents backfeeding and leakage when powered down |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTZ245DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package per JEDEC MS-013, 7.6 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, with gull-wing leads and standard surface-mount land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control: LOW enables B→A data flow; HIGH enables A→B data flow |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A data I/O terminals - connect to source bus (e.g., microcontroller side) |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O |
| 11 | VCC | 3.3-V supply input - powers internal BiCMOS core and level-shifting circuitry |
| 12–19 | B1–B8 | Port B data I/O terminals - connect to destination bus (e.g., 5-V peripheral side) |
| 20 | OE | Output enable: LOW activates transceiver; HIGH places both ports in high-impedance isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 5-V tolerant I/O | Accepts and drives 5-V signals while powered from 3.3-V rail - eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Actively maintains logic state on floating A/B inputs - removes need for 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors and saves PCB space |
| Power-up/power-down high-Z | Outputs remain in high-impedance state during supply ramping - prevents bus contention and system glitches during power sequencing |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense digital layouts |
| Latch-up immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - ensures robustness against transient overcurrent events in industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Embedded Microcontroller Bus Extension |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3-V ARM-based controller to legacy 5-V I/O modules across a DIN-rail-mounted backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage-translating bus transceiver enabling synchronous data exchange between mismatched logic families.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH245A | Lower drive strength (±24 mA), no bus-hold, 2.7–3.6-V only, same SOIC-20 footprint | Requires external pull resistors; unsuitable where floating inputs must be avoided | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold requirement and load current ≤24 mA |
| 74ALVC16245 | 16-bit, dual-supply (1.65–3.6-V), no 5-V tolerance, higher pin count (48-pin TSSOP) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; lacks mixed-voltage capability | Choose only for new 3.3-V-only systems needing wider bus width and lower power |
Compared with SN74LVTH245A and 74ALVC16245, the SN74LVTZ245DW uniquely combines 5-V I/O tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and 64-mA drive in a standard SOIC-20 package - making it irreplaceable in legacy interface upgrades requiring zero-layout-change integration.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74LVTZ245DW?
The SN74LVTZ245DW is characterized for operation from −40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is explicitly defined in the recommended operating conditions table of the SCBS303C datasheet and applies specifically to the DW-package variant. It does not support extended military-range operation like the SN54LVTZ245 (−55°C to 125°C), and thermal derating is required above 85°C ambient.
Does SN74LVTZ245DW support true 5-V input and output operation?
Yes, SN74LVTZ245DW supports 5-V input and output voltages while powered from a 3.3-V VCC supply. The absolute maximum input voltage is rated to 7 V, and functional operation up to 5.5 V is confirmed in the recommended operating conditions. Outputs drive 5-V TTL loads with VOH ≥2.0 V and VOL ≤0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without external level shifters.
How does the bus-hold feature work on SN74LVTZ245DW?
The SN74LVTZ245DW integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, providing ±75 µA holding current to maintain the last-valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external 10-kΩ pullup or pulldown resistors. Bus-hold is always enabled and requires no configuration - it operates independently of DIR or OE states and remains functional even during power-up sequences.
Can SN74LVTZ245DW be used in hot-swap applications?
SN74LVTZ245DW supports hot-swap use cases due to its power-up/power-down high-impedance behavior and ±100 µA off-state leakage (IOFF) at VCC = 0. When VCC is absent or ramping, outputs remain in high-Z, preventing backdrive into live buses. However, it lacks dedicated hot-swap protection (e.g., slew-rate limiting or fault reporting), so external current limiting or sequencing remains advisable in high-reliability systems.
Is SN74LVTZ245DW pin-compatible with other 74-series transceivers?
SN74LVTZ245DW shares the same 20-pin SOIC (DW) pinout and function mapping as SN74LVC245A and SN74LVTH245A, including identical DIR, OE, A1–A8, B1–B8, VCC, and GND locations. However, electrical differences - such as 5-V tolerance, bus-hold presence, and drive strength - mean functional substitution requires validation. It is not pin-compatible with 24-pin or 48-pin variants like 74ALVC16245.
