Product details
Overview
SNJ54HC245W 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 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 and level-shifting in avionics and defense computing backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54HC245W datasheet, SNJ54HC245W pinout, SNJ54HC245W application, or SNJ54HC245W equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, validated thermal metrics for CFP-20 packaging, confirmed MIL-PRF-38535 compliance, and precise direction-control timing behavior under −55°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The SNJ54HC245W implements dual-control logic: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables all eight transceiver channels into high-impedance state. Its CMOS architecture ensures balanced rise/fall times and low input current (≤1 µA), minimizing bus contention risk in multiplexed systems.
Designed for MIL-PRF-38535 Class V compliance, the device undergoes full parametric testing across temperature extremes. Its CFP-20 package (12.8 mm × 7.5 mm) supports junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 77.0°C/W and meets ±3000-V HBM ESD rating - critical for field-replaceable modules in radar and telemetry subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports interoperability between 3.3 V and 5 V buses without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns typical at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in 20-MHz synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads or terminate stubbed traces on backplanes. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - reduces standby power in always-on mission-critical subsystems. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for airborne and ground vehicle electronics per MIL-PRF-38535. |
| ESD Rating | ±3000 V HBM - protects against handling damage during depot-level maintenance. |
| Input Leakage Current | 1 µA max - prevents unintended biasing of floating control lines in unpowered subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54HC245W uses a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package measuring 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm, optimized for hermetic sealing and thermal stability in high-reliability applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/Os - connect to source bus (e.g., processor local bus). |
| 10 | GND | Signal reference ground - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 11–18 | B8–B1 | Port B bidirectional I/Os - connect to destination bus (e.g., peripheral expansion bus). |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - drives all A/B pins to high-Z when high; asserts transceivers when low. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply input - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2–6 V) | Enables direct interface between mixed-voltage subsystems without external regulators or translators. |
| 3-State output isolation | Prevents bus contention during hot-swap or partial system reset by fully disconnecting A and B ports. |
| Low ICC (≤80 µA) | Reduces quiescent power in battery-backed or thermally constrained avionics enclosures. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 compliance | Guarantees full parametric testing across temperature and life-test screening for defense procurement. |
| Slow edge rate design | Minimizes output ringing and EMI in long-trace backplane interconnects without added termination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC245N | Commercial-grade PDIP-20; −40°C to +85°C operating range; RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. | Targeted at industrial control panels and test equipment where military screening is unnecessary. | Select SN74HC245N for cost-sensitive non-military designs requiring same logic function and pinout. |
| SNJ54LS245J | Bipolar TTL technology; higher ICC (40 mA typical); 5 V only; faster tpd (10 ns) but lower noise margin. | Suitable for legacy TTL-only systems needing backward compatibility with 74LS logic families. | Choose SNJ54LS245J only when interfacing with existing LS-based backplanes and thermal budget allows higher power dissipation. |
Compared with SNJ54HC245W, SN74HC245N offers commercial reliability at lower cost but lacks extended temperature and MIL-spec screening, while SNJ54LS245J provides TTL-compatible speed and drive strength but sacrifices voltage flexibility and static power efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SNJ54HC245W?
The SNJ54HC245W is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements. This full military temperature range is validated through temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing - ensuring reliability in engine bay, radar dome, and airborne computing environments where thermal gradients exceed commercial limits. The SNJ54HC245W maintains specified tpd and drive capability across this entire range.
Does SNJ54HC245W require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins?
TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up/down to guarantee high-impedance state; minimum value depends on driver sink capability. DIR has no internal bias and must be actively driven - floating DIR causes undefined bus direction and potential contention. The SNJ54HC245W datasheet specifies that all unused inputs, including DIR, must be held at VCC or GND to prevent oscillation or excessive ICC. No pull-up is required on DIR unless used as a default-direction control.
How does SNJ54HC245W differ from commercial SN74HC245 variants?
The SNJ54HC245W differs from SN74HC245 in three key areas: it is screened to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V standards (full parametric testing across temperature), uses ceramic flatpack (CFP) packaging for hermeticity and thermal stability, and operates over −55°C to +125°C versus −40°C to +85°C. The SNJ54HC245W also features tin-lead (SNPB) lead finish and is manufactured under controlled radiation-hardened processes - making it suitable for defense and space-qualified applications where SN74HC245 is not approved.
Can SNJ54HC245W interface between 3.3 V and 5 V buses?
Yes - the SNJ54HC245W's 2 V to 6 V supply range allows direct interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without external level shifters. When powered at 5 V, its VIH threshold is 3.15 V (min) and VIL is 1.35 V (max), ensuring clean recognition of 3.3 V logic highs. Its ±6 mA drive at 5 V can source/sink sufficient current to meet LSTTL fanout requirements on both sides. This capability is explicitly validated in the SNJ54HC245W datasheet's recommended operating conditions table.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SNJ54HC245W in its CFP package?
The SNJ54HC245W in CFP-20 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 77.0°C/W, as measured per JEDEC JESD51 standards. This value assumes standard 2-layer board construction with 1 in² copper pour. For high-power-density layouts, TI recommends using the junction-to-board (RθJB = 44.8°C/W) metric and implementing thermal vias under the package body. The SNJ54HC245W's low ICC (≤80 µA) minimizes self-heating, making RθJA less critical than in higher-power logic families.
