Product details
Overview
SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified 8-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage level translation between 1.1 V and 5.5 V logic domains, with configurable direction control (DIR), 3-state outputs (OE), Schmitt-trigger inputs, and Ioff-float isolation. It supports up to 420 Mbps in 3.3 V → 5.0 V translation and operates from –40°C to +125°C for automotive infotainment and ADAS fusion systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 datasheet, SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 pinout, SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 application, or SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply flexibility (VCCA/VCCB = 1.1–5.5 V), robust power sequencing, Ioff partial-power-down behavior, and guaranteed operation across automotive temperature and ESD stress conditions (±4000-V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 implements a noninverting bidirectional translation architecture where Ax and control pins (DIR, OE) are referenced to VCCA, while Bx pins are referenced to VCCB. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow or noisy signals, and integrated dynamic pull-down resistors on I/Os reduce external component count.
VCC isolation (Ioff-float) ensures all I/Os enter high-impedance state when either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100 mV; control logic remains referenced solely to VCCA, decoupling direction and enable functionality from B-side supply stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 1.1 V to 5.5 V each - enables flexible inter-domain interfacing (e.g., 1.2 V MCU ↔ 3.3 V sensor, 1.8 V FPGA ↔ 5.0 V display driver) |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-speed serial control and status bus bridging in ADAS domain controllers |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 2 ns (min) to 10 ns (max) at 3.3 V/5.0 V - ensures timing-critical signal integrity in real-time vehicle networks |
| Ioff Current | ±2.5 µA max (–40°C to 125°C) - guarantees safe partial-power-down during sleep modes without backfeeding |
| ESD Rating | ±4000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - meets automotive board-level robustness requirements per AEC-Q100 |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood and cockpit-mounted ECUs per automotive thermal profiles |
| Drive Strength | 32 mA sink/source at 5 V - directly drives LEDs, buzzers, or logic inputs without external buffers |
Pinout & Package
PW package: 24-pin TSSOP, 7.80 mm × 6.40 mm body, exposed thermal pad (recommended grounded).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Data I/O (Port A) | Referenced to VCCA; bidirectional with Schmitt-trigger input threshold hysteresis (ΔVT ≥ 0.2 V) |
| B1–B8 | Data I/O (Port B) | Referenced to VCCB; independent voltage domain handling enables true level-shifting |
| DIR | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data flow; low = B→A; referenced to VCCA only - immune to VCCB fluctuations |
| OE | Output Enable Input | Low = active drive; high = 3-state; static pull-down allows floating control without external resistor |
| VCCA | Port A Supply | Power source for A-side logic, DIR, and OE - sets input thresholds and output drive levels for Port A |
| VCCB | Port B Supply | Power source for B-side logic - independent of VCCA, enabling asymmetric rail configurations |
| GND (×3) | Ground Reference | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce in high-speed bidirectional switching |
| PAD | Thermal Pad | Exposed copper pad for thermal dissipation; recommended to connect to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail level shifting | Independent 1.1–5.5 V operation on both ports eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage automotive subsystems |
| VCC isolation (Ioff-float) | Automatic high-impedance I/O state when either VCCA or VCCB drops <100 mV - prevents back-current and enables hot-swap capability |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.2 V (ΔVT) rejects noise and slow edges from mechanical switches or long traces in cabin interfaces |
| Integrated pull-down resistors | Dynamic I/O pull-downs and static control-input pull-downs remove requirement for 10-kΩ external biasing components |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) with latch-up >100 mA and full automotive reliability testing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC8T245QRGYRQ1 | Lower drive strength (12 mA), no Schmitt-trigger inputs, narrower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V) | Not suitable for noisy switch inputs or 5 V interface; limited to lower-speed, low-voltage domains | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise immunity and 5 V compatibility needs |
| TXS0108E-Q1 | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), higher propagation delay (>15 ns), no Ioff-float isolation | Cannot support bidirectional control protocols requiring explicit DIR management; lacks VCC-disconnect safety | Prefer only for simple data-only bridges where direction is unidirectional or externally managed |
Compared with SN74AVC8T245QRGYRQ1 and TXS0108E-Q1, the SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 420-Mbps capability, Schmitt-trigger noise rejection, and true Ioff-float isolation - making it the only option for robust, high-speed, mixed-rail automotive control buses requiring deterministic direction control and fail-safe power sequencing.

The SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 supports up to 420 Mbps in 3.3 V → 5.0 V up-translation mode, as specified in the TMAX parameter table under Section 6.12 of the official datasheet. This performance is validated across the full automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with 50% duty cycle input and defined pulse amplitude thresholds.
Does SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 support independent power supply sequencing for VCCA and VCCB?
Yes, the SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 features robust, glitch-free power supply sequencing. Its Ioff-float function ensures all I/Os enter high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV, preventing back-current and enabling safe hot-plug or staggered power-up sequences common in automotive domain controllers.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input feature benefit SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 in automotive applications?
The Schmitt-trigger inputs on SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 provide ≥0.2 V hysteresis (ΔVT), enabling reliable detection of slow or noisy signals from mechanical switches, potentiometers, or long harness runs. This eliminates external RC filtering and firmware debouncing, reducing system latency and improving functional safety compliance in cabin controls and sensor interfaces.
What package options are available for SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1, and which is used in the PW variant?
The SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 is offered in three packages: PW (24-pin TSSOP), RHL (24-pin VQFN), and DGS (24-pin VSSOP). The "QPWRQ1" suffix explicitly denotes the PW (TSSOP) variant with 7.80 mm × 6.40 mm body size and exposed thermal pad - optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Is SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 compatible with legacy LVC-family level shifters?
Yes, the SN74LXC8T245QPWRQ1 is explicitly stated as compatible with the LVC family of level shifters.
