Product details
Overview
SNJ54ACT245FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data bus communication in harsh-environment systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports TTL-compatible inputs up to 5.5 V, delivers ≤8 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and features direction control (DIR) and output enable (OE) logic for isolated bus coupling - used in factory automation controllers requiring radiation-tolerant signal bridging between 5 V microcontrollers and peripheral buses.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ACT245FK datasheet, SNJ54ACT245FK pinout, SNJ54ACT245FK application, or SNJ54ACT245FK equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, thermal resistance (RθJA = 70 °C/W), absolute maximum ratings, switching characteristics, and precise LCCC-20 package implementation details required for high-reliability board-level integration.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ACT245FK implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) pins, enabling noninverted A↔B data transfer or high-impedance isolation. Its CMOS architecture ensures balanced drive strength (±24 mA per output), overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), and slow edge rates to suppress output ringing in noisy industrial environments.
It complies with MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, supports –55°C to +125°C operation, and uses LCCC (FK) ceramic packaging with hermetic sealing and lead-free SNPB terminations - optimized for long-term stability in aerospace avionics and defense subsystems where latch-up immunity and ESD robustness (±3000 V HBM) are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct compatibility with regulated 5 V supply rails without level-shifting. |
| Max tPD | 8 ns at 5 V - guarantees sub-12.5 MHz sustained data throughput across all 8 channels under worst-case timing. |
| IOL / IOH | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or terminate stubbed bus traces without external buffers. |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - matches TTL logic thresholds, allowing seamless interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| RθJA | 70 °C/W - measured for FK package; enables thermal design margin of ≥35°C rise at 100 mW dissipation in convection-cooled enclosures. |
| ESD Rating | ±3000 V HBM - exceeds MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7, supporting handling in non-classified production lines without special ESD controls. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535, suitable for engine bay, radar front-end, and satellite payload applications. |
Pinout & Package
LCCC (FK) package: 20-terminal ceramic leadless chip carrier, 0.65 mm pitch, 6.6 mm × 6.4 mm body size, hermetically sealed, SNPB finish, non-RoHS compliant, MSL N/A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DIR | Direction control input | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow; must be stable before OE activation to avoid bus contention. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Port A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines tied to local bus; internally clamped to VCC/GND; tolerate 5.5 V inputs regardless of VCC. |
| 10 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and power currents; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 11–18 B8–B1 | Port B I/O terminals | Reversed pin order (B8 to B1) matches physical layout; identical electrical behavior to A-side ports. |
| 19 OE | Output enable input | Active-low; ties all A/B outputs to high-impedance when high; pull-up to VCC recommended for power-up safety. |
| 20 VCC | Power supply | Single 4.5–5.5 V rail; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 3 mm for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC value - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing mixed-voltage subsystems. |
| Slow-edge-rate outputs | Controlled dV/dt minimizes EMI and overshoot on unterminated or long PCB traces - critical for EMC-compliant industrial backplanes. |
| High-impedance isolation mode | OE = High disables both A and B ports simultaneously - prevents leakage current paths during processor reset or sleep states. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class V qualification | Full military screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - ensures reliability in mission-critical deployments. |
| Hermetic LCCC packaging | Ceramic body with solder-sealed lid - provides moisture resistance and mechanical stability under shock/vibration exceeding 100 g peak. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ACT245W | CFP-20 package (25-pin tube); RθJA = 58 °C/W; same electrical specs and military qualification. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-solder assembly; larger footprint but easier manual rework. | Select SNJ54ACT245W when board-level repairability or compatibility with existing CFP tooling is required. |
| SN74ACT245DBR | SSOP-20 commercial-grade part; RoHS-compliant; RθJA = 105.4 °C/W; operating range –40°C to +85°C only. | Valid for industrial-grade surface-mount production where cost and volume matter more than extended temperature or hermeticity. | Choose SN74ACT245DBR for non-military applications needing lower unit cost and standard SMT logistics support. |
Compared with SNJ54ACT245W and SN74ACT245DBR, the SNJ54ACT245FK offers superior thermal performance (70 °C/W vs. 58/105.4), full military temperature range, and hermetic reliability - making it the sole choice for deployed systems where field failure is not acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SNJ54ACT245FK?
The SNJ54ACT245FK is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation and qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V, making it suitable for deployment in engine compartments, radar housings, and satellite payloads where ambient extremes exceed commercial-grade limits. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, drive strength, and leakage current.
Does SNJ54ACT245FK require external pull-up resistors on OE or DIR pins?
Yes - TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor (value determined by driver sink capability) to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or brownout. DIR has no internal bias; it must be actively driven or externally held to a defined logic level to prevent undefined bus direction and potential contention. The SNJ54ACT245FK does not include internal weak pull-ups on either pin.
Can SNJ54ACT245FK interface directly with 3.3 V logic devices?
No - the SNJ54ACT245FK is a 5 V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and 4.5–5.5 V VCC requirement. While its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, they cannot reliably recognize 3.3 V logic highs without external level translation. Direct connection risks marginal VIH detection and violates recommended operating conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SNJ54ACT245FK, and how is it measured?
The SNJ54ACT245FK has an RθJA of 70 °C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-2 for the LCCC (FK) package on a 4-layer test board with 1 in² copper area. This value reflects real-world convection cooling and informs thermal margin calculations - for example, at 100 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise is 7°C above ambient, enabling safe operation even in sealed enclosures at +125°C ambient.
Is SNJ54ACT245FK RoHS-compliant?
No - the SNJ54ACT245FK uses SNPB (tin-lead) terminations and is explicitly non-RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum. It is intended for military, aerospace, and other exempt applications where leaded finishes are mandated for solder joint reliability and whisker resistance under thermal cycling stress.
