MC74VHC245DW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MC74VHC245DW is an octal bidirectional bus transceiver manufactured by onsemi using advanced high-speed CMOS technology. It facilitates asynchronous communication between two data buses with eight independent data lines. The device operates within a DC power supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 4.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V and a maximum static supply current of 4.0 mA at 25°C. It features balanced propagation delays, high noise immunity with VNIH and VNIL at 28%, and supports output currents of ±8 mA.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DW' corresponds to the SOIC-20 package configuration required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the operating voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V aligns with your system's power supply rails. Ensure that the ESD protection levels meet the environmental requirements of your final assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compatibility with your design specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed bidirectional data transfer is required with low power consumption. The 4.0 ns propagation delay makes it suitable for applications demanding faster response times than standard HC series devices. The wide operating voltage range allows flexibility in system design, supporting both 3.3 V and 5.0 V logic levels without external level shifting components.
