Product details
Overview
SNJ54HC245FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in high-reliability systems. It operates from 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 12 ns (VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF), and draws ≤80 µA supply current - enabling robust isolation in avionics and defense computing backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54HC245FK datasheet, SNJ54HC245FK pinout, SNJ54HC245FK application, or SNJ54HC245FK equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, LCCC-20 package terminal mapping, MIL-PRF-38535 compliance context, and validated alternatives for bus interface redesigns requiring -55°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The SNJ54HC245FK implements dual-control logic: DIR selects data direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its CMOS architecture ensures balanced rise/fall times and low input current (≤1 µA), minimizing bus contention risk during hot-swap or power sequencing.
All parameters are fully tested per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements, including absolute maximum ratings (–0.5 V to 7 V supply, –55°C to +125°C operating range) and ESD robustness (±3000 V HBM). The device supports asynchronous communication without external clocks or timing constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >30 MHz bus toggle rates in deterministic timing paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads or terminate stubbed parallel buses |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - enables low-static-power operation in always-on military subsystems |
| Input Current (II) | 1 µA max - prevents signal degradation on long PCB traces or high-impedance control lines |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±3000 V - meets MIL-STD-883 Class 3015.7 for handling in uncontrolled environments |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for airborne, space-qualified, and ground vehicle mission-critical electronics |
Pinout & Package
LCCC (FK) package: 20-terminal hermetically sealed ceramic leadless chip carrier, 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm body size, flat gull-wing terminations, suitable for high-vibration and vacuum environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables B→A data flow; HIGH enables A→B data flow |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/O: connects to source bus; driven by DIR/OE logic state |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and noise return path |
| 11–18 | B8–B1 | Port B bidirectional I/O: connects to destination bus; order reversed per JEDEC standard top view |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state for bus isolation |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply input: must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SNJ54HC245FK?
The SNJ54HC245FK is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and high-impedance leakage - making SNJ54HC245FK suitable for deployment in jet engine bays, satellite payload compartments, and desert-deployed electronic warfare systems.
Does the SNJ54HC245FK require external pull-up resistors on OE or DIR pins?
While OE and DIR are CMOS inputs with ≤1 µA leakage, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up to ensure defined high-impedance state before firmware initialization. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's sink capability; SNJ54HC245FK's OE input does not require pull-up for normal operation once powered, but omission risks bus contention during cold start.
How does the SNJ54HC245FK handle bus contention during direction switching?
The SNJ54HC245FK has no built-in bus contention protection. Direction changes must be synchronized with OE assertion: DIR should only toggle when OE is HIGH (outputs disabled). Simultaneous DIR change and OE deassertion can cause momentary A-B shorting. Designers must implement external control sequencing - e.g., assert OE before changing DIR, then deassert OE - to prevent current spikes exceeding ±35 mA per output.
Is the SNJ54HC245FK RoHS compliant?
No, the SNJ54HC245FK uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish and is exempt from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU under Annex III Category 7a (defense and security equipment). Its material composition complies with MIL-PRF-38535 Table 1 requirements and is documented in TI's QML-V certificate. For commercial applications requiring RoHS, consider SN74HC245DBR (SSOP-20).
What is the maximum capacitive load the SNJ54HC245FK can drive reliably?
The SNJ54HC245FK is characterized for CL = 50 pF and CL = 150 pF loads, with tpd increasing from 12 ns to 15 ns (VCC = 6 V). Driving >150 pF increases transition time and ringing risk; TI recommends limiting trace capacitance to ≤100 pF per line and using series termination if routing exceeds 10 cm. The device's slow edge rate inherently limits slew-induced EMI, but excessive load capacitance degrades setup/hold margins in synchronous interfaces.
