Applications
The CD74ACT245MG4 buffers and isolates 8-bit data buses in microprocessor and FPGA systems where bus-driving strength or bidirectional isolation between subsections is needed. Its direction-control pin simplifies read-write switching in memory interface designs, address buses, and backplane interconnects operating at 5 V TTL-compatible logic levels. The SOIC-20 package and ACT logic family make it a proven drop-in replacement in legacy industrial and telecommunications hardware undergoing board refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many data lines does the CD74ACT245MG4 buffer, and in which direction does data flow?
The CD74ACT245MG4 buffers 8 data lines simultaneously in a bidirectional configuration. A dedicated DIR (direction) pin selects whether data propagates from the A port to the B port or from B to A, making it straightforward to implement read-write bus switches for memory and peripheral bus architectures.
What propagation delay and load capacitance rating does the CD74ACT245MG4 support at 5 V?
In the ACT logic family at 5 V VCC, the CD74ACT245MG4 achieves a typical propagation delay of approximately 5 ns to 7 ns while driving a 50 pF capacitive load. This speed makes it appropriate for bus cycles in systems with clock frequencies up to several tens of megahertz where buffered signal integrity is critical.
Can the CD74ACT245MG4 interface between 5 V TTL logic and 5 V CMOS without additional translation circuitry?
Yes. The ACT family uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL max 0.8 V, VIH min 2.0 V) and CMOS output swing levels close to the supply rails. This allows the CD74ACT245MG4 to directly interface TTL-output devices with CMOS-input devices on a 5 V bus without external level-translation ICs or resistor networks.
In what package does the CD74ACT245MG4 ship, and is it suitable for hand-soldering during prototyping?
The device is available in a 20-pin SOIC package with 1.27 mm lead pitch and a body width of 7.5 mm. The 1.27 mm pitch is wide enough for hand-soldering with a standard fine-tip iron, and the SOIC footprint is supported by most PCB design libraries, making prototyping and low-volume assembly straightforward.
