Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CD74ACT245EE4 and how does it work?
The CD74ACT245EE4 is an octal bidirectional non-inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments. It uses a direction control pin (DIR) to determine the data flow direction between two 8-bit buses (A and B), and an output enable pin (OE) to enable or disable the outputs. It is part of the ACT logic family, which supports TTL-compatible inputs at CMOS speeds.
What are the electrical characteristics of the CD74ACT245EE4?
The CD74ACT245EE4 is part of the ACT logic family and handles a load capacitance of up to 50pF per output. It features bidirectional data transfer with common direction control, 3-state outputs for bus sharing, and is compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic levels. The device is rated JESD-609 e4 (lead-free) and has a PDIP-20 package with JESD-30 code R-PDIP-T20.
What package does the CD74ACT245EE4 use and is it suitable for prototype assembly?
The CD74ACT245EE4 is supplied in a 20-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package), which is ideal for prototyping on breadboards and for through-hole PCB assembly. The E4 suffix indicates it is supplied in a tube format suitable for manual or low-volume assembly. This through-hole package makes it a popular choice for educational, industrial, and legacy system replacement applications.
What applications is the CD74ACT245EE4 best suited for?
The CD74ACT245EE4 is best suited for microprocessor bus buffering, memory interface circuits, and data bus isolation applications where bidirectional 8-bit data transfer with direction control is required. It is used in industrial automation controllers, legacy computing boards, signal routing in embedded systems, and any design requiring bus-level data translation or buffering with 3-state output capability.
What are common alternatives to the CD74ACT245EE4?
Common alternatives to the CD74ACT245EE4 include the SN74ACT245 series from Texas Instruments in surface-mount packages, as well as the 74HC245 (lower voltage, CMOS) and 74HCT245 (TTL-compatible CMOS) variants. When selecting an alternative, verify logic family compatibility, supply voltage, output drive strength, and package type to ensure pin-for-pin and electrically compatible replacement in your design.
