Frequently Asked Questions
How does the direction control work on the SN74ACT245DWE4?
The SN74ACT245DWE4 uses a dedicated direction control (DIR) pin that determines the signal flow direction. When DIR is high, data flows from the B port to the A port; when DIR is low, data flows from A to B. An active-low output enable (OE) pin places all outputs in a high-impedance state for bus isolation.
What is the output drive current of the SN74ACT245DWE4?
The SN74ACT245DWE4 provides a maximum output sink current (I(ol)) of 24mA per output, which is significantly higher than standard CMOS devices. This high drive strength makes it suitable for driving long PCB traces, multiple parallel loads, or heavily capacitive bus lines at full ACT logic speed.
What package is the SN74ACT245DWE4 available in?
The SN74ACT245DWE4 is available in a 20-pin wide-body Small Outline Package (SOIC/DW) with JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20. The E4 suffix indicates a lead-free, RoHS-compliant device per JESD-609 code e4. This surface-mount package is suitable for high-density PCB designs with automated assembly.
Is the SN74ACT245DWE4 compatible with 3.3V logic systems?
The SN74ACT245DWE4 is an ACT-family device designed to operate from a 5V supply with TTL-compatible input thresholds. While its output voltage levels are suited to 5V TTL/CMOS systems, it can accept 3.3V logic inputs due to its TTL input thresholds. For fully 3.3V operation, Texas Instruments offers LVTH245 and other lower-voltage transceiver alternatives.
