Product details
Overview
SNJ54ABT245AJ from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses in high-reliability systems. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, delivers ±32-mA high-drive outputs (IOH/−IOL), supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and features <1-V output ground bounce at 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ABT245AJ datasheet, SNJ54ABT245AJ pinout, SNJ54ABT245AJ application, or SNJ54ABT245AJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its CDIP-20 package, MIL-PRF-38535 compliance, −55°C to 125°C operating range, and guaranteed hot-insertion support without external circuitry.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ABT245AJ implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its logic-level translation is unidirectional per direction setting: when DIR = L, data flows B→A; when DIR = H, data flows A→B; OE = H forces all outputs into high-impedance isolation.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, and power-up 3-state logic that holds outputs high-Z during VCC ramp-up/down-enabling safe live insertion into powered backplanes or hot-swap subsystems without bus contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL and CMOS systems while maintaining noise margin. |
| Output Drive | −32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - enables direct driving of heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns to 3.9 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - supports high-speed bus handshaking up to ~250 MHz clock-equivalent rates. |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - guarantees no damaging current flow when device is inserted into live 5-V bus. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified for aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial environments per MIL-PRF-38535. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115, reducing field failure risk in handling and assembly. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or supply sequencing faults. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54ABT245AJ is housed in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability in extended temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 Inputs/Outputs | Port A bidirectional data lines; connected to one bus segment and driven or received based on DIR/OE state. |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B1–B8 Inputs/Outputs | Port B bidirectional data lines; connected to second bus segment and directionally coupled to A port. |
| 9 | DIR | Direction control input: low = B→A, high = A→B; TTL-compatible threshold (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V). |
| 10 | OE | Output enable input: low = enabled, high = 3-state isolation; active-low logic with pullup recommended for hot-insertion safety. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply pin (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 19 | GND | Signal ground reference; must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | −32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL enables direct interface to 10+ standard TTL loads or long PCB traces without signal degradation. |
| Power-Up 3-State | Guaranteed high-impedance outputs during VCC ramp-up/down eliminates bus conflicts in multi-device hot-swap systems. |
| Ioff Protection | Active output disable at VCC = 0 prevents backflow current from live bus into unpowered device-critical for MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC-429 backplane integrity. |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at 5 V/25°C reduces simultaneous switching noise, improving signal integrity in dense digital systems. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Compliance | Full screening per Class B or S levels ensures reliability in mission-critical avionics, radar, and spaceflight electronics. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SNJ54ABT245AJ?
The SNJ54ABT245AJ is fully specified from −55°C to +125°C and qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended temperature operation in aerospace, defense, and downhole applications. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, drive strength, and Ioff leakage-no derating required within this span.
Does SNJ54ABT245AJ support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SNJ54ABT245AJ supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, limiting backflow current to ±100 µA, and power-up 3-state logic forces outputs into high-impedance during VCC ramp-up/down. These functions are inherent to the silicon design and require no external components to achieve safe live insertion.
What package type is used for SNJ54ABT245AJ, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
SNJ54ABT245AJ uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J) with 0.3-inch body width, 0.1-inch lead pitch, and hermetic ceramic construction. It features tin-lead (SNPB) lead finish, N/A MSL rating (not moisture-sensitive), and is designed for through-hole mounting with robust thermal and mechanical stability across −65°C to +150°C storage range.
How does the direction control (DIR) and output enable (OE) logic work on SNJ54ABT245AJ?
On SNJ54ABT245AJ, DIR determines data flow direction: DIR = low enables B→A transfer; DIR = high enables A→B transfer. OE controls output state: OE = low enables drivers; OE = high places all A and B pins in high-impedance isolation. Both inputs are TTL-compatible with VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2 V, and OE should be pulled up to VCC for hot-insertion safety.
Is SNJ54ABT245AJ pin-compatible with commercial SN74ABT245B variants?
No-SNJ54ABT245AJ (CDIP-J) shares identical pinout and logic function with SN74ABT245B in J-package, but differs electrically and mechanically from SOIC (DW), SSOP (DB), TSSOP (PW), and QFN (RGY) variants. Only CDIP-packaged SN74ABT245BN and SNJ54ABT245AJ share full pin, function, and footprint compatibility; other packages have distinct pin assignments and thermal characteristics.
