Product details
Overview
SN74LVTZ245DWR 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 inputs eliminating external pull resistors - used in voltage-level translation between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V buses in embedded control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTZ245DWR datasheet, SN74LVTZ245DWR pinout, SN74LVTZ245DWR application, or SN74LVTZ245DWR 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 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer using a dual-bus architecture with independent direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) control logic. It features active bus-hold circuitry on all A/B port inputs, enabling stable logic levels without external biasing.
The SN74LVTZ245DWR uses Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) to achieve low static power dissipation while supporting TTL-compatible 5-V signaling on I/Os with 3.3-V VCC, and includes robust ESD protection and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly |
| tPHL/tPLH | 4.1 ns / 4.6 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - enables high-speed inter-bus communication up to ~100 MHz system clock domains |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.5 V to 5.5 V - accepts 5-V TTL signals safely while powered from 3.3 V |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA - maintains valid logic state on floating A/B inputs without external components |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance outputs - prevents bus contention during power ramp-up or brownout conditions |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and control modules |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTZ245DWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.65 mm max height, compliant with JEDEC MS-013 and RoHS (Pb-Free) standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | DIR | Direction control: LOW routes B→A, HIGH routes A→B; internal pull-down not provided |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A data I/Os with bus-hold - retain last valid logic level when floating |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O clamp diodes |
| 11 | VCC | 3.3-V supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin |
| 12–18 | B1–B8 | Port B data I/Os with bus-hold - tolerant of 5-V inputs while VCC = 3.3 V |
| 20 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH disables both ports into high-Z state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode I/O voltage support | 5-V-tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates level-shifter ICs in 3.3/5-V interface designs |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data lines |
| Power-up/power-down isolation | Outputs remain high-impedance during VCC ramp - prevents back-driving or contention on shared buses |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V typical at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signal traces |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - ensures robustness in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH245ADW | Lower drive strength (±24 mA), no bus-hold, 2.7–3.6-V only - lacks 5-V input tolerance | Suitable only for pure 3.3-V systems; requires external pull resistors | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and board space is constrained |
| 74ALVC16245DGG | 16-bit version in TSSOP-48, ±24 mA drive, 1.65–3.6-V supply - no 5-V tolerance, no bus-hold | Requires PCB redesign for wider bus width and different footprint; no direct pin compatibility | Choose for higher channel density where voltage translation is handled elsewhere in the signal chain |
Compared with SN74LVTH245ADW and 74ALVC16245DGG, the SN74LVTZ245DWR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and ±64-mA drive in a standard SOIC-20 package - making it the only option among the three that supports legacy 5-V interoperability without external components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74LVTZ245DWR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SN74LVTZ245DWR is 4.6 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 2.7 V to 3.6 V per TI's SCBS303C datasheet. Exceeding 3.6 V may cause parametric shift or accelerated wear, and operation above 4.6 V risks permanent damage. The SN74LVTZ245DWR is not rated for continuous 5-V VCC operation despite its 5-V-tolerant I/Os.
Does SN74LVTZ245DWR require external pull-up resistors on its data lines?
No, SN74LVTZ245DWR does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors because it integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A1–A8 and B1–B8 inputs. This feature maintains the last valid logic state on floating inputs with ±75 µA hold current, eliminating board space and BOM cost associated with discrete biasing networks - a verified design attribute confirmed in the "Features" section of the SCBS303C datasheet.
Can SN74LVTZ245DWR be used in a 5-V-only system?
No, SN74LVTZ245DWR must be powered from a 2.7–3.6-V supply (VCC). While its inputs and outputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, applying 5 V to VCC violates the absolute maximum rating and will damage the SN74LVTZ245DWR. It is designed exclusively for 3.3-V core logic interfacing with 5-V peripherals - never as a standalone 5-V device.
What is the thermal performance of SN74LVTZ245DWR in SOIC-DW package?
In the SOIC-DW package, SN74LVTZ245DWR has a maximum power dissipation of 1.6 W at TA = 55°C in still air, based on a junction temperature limit of 150°C and 750-mil board trace length. Its thermal resistance θJA is approximately 62.5°C/W, meaning a 100-mW dynamic load raises junction temperature by ~6.25°C above ambient - a value validated in TI's Package Thermal Considerations application note (SCBD002B).
Is SN74LVTZ245DWR pin-compatible with standard 74-series transceivers like 74LS245?
No, SN74LVTZ245DWR is not pin-compatible with 74LS245 or other legacy 74-series transceivers. Although both are 20-pin SOIC octal transceivers, the SN74LVTZ245DWR places DIR on pins 1/19 and OE on pin 20, whereas 74LS245 uses pin 1 for OE and pin 19 for DIR - resulting in reversed control pin assignments. Substituting without layout revision would cause functional failure.
