SN74LVC245APWR

Texas Instruments · Buffer/Driver/Transceiver · TSSOP-20

SN74LVC245APWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-20. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 DIR input Direction control. When high, signal propagates from A port to B port. When low, signal propagates from B port to A port. CMOS logic input referenced to VCC (1.65 V to 3.6 V); accepts up to 5.5 V.
2 A1 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 1 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). IOH up to -24 mA / IOL up to 24 mA at VCC = 3 V.
3 A2 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 2 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
4 A3 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 3 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
5 A4 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 4 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
6 A5 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 5 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
7 A6 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 6 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
8 A7 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 7 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
9 A8 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 8 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
10 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Connect to the system ground plane.
11 B8 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 8 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
12 B7 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 7 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
13 B6 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 6 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
14 B5 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 5 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
15 B4 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 4 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
16 B3 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 3 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
17 B2 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 2 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
18 B1 tri_state Transceiver I/O pin, channel 1 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low).
19 OE input Output enable, active-low. When low, all outputs are enabled per DIR. When high, all A and B outputs are placed in the high-impedance (3-state) state. Accepts up to 5.5 V.
20 VCC power_in Supply voltage. Operating range 1.65 V to 3.6 V; absolute maximum 6.5 V. Decouple with ceramic bypass capacitor(s) to GND.

  • 3D model: TSSOP-20 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn74lvc245apwr.step 267 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn74lvc245apwr-etched.step 2.9 MB You want the part with SN74LVC245APWR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 754 faces against 327 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
