SN74LVC4245APWR

Texas Instruments · Buffer/Driver/Transceiver · TSSOP-24

SN74LVC4245APWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-24. 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 VCCA power_in Power supply for A side. Recommended 4.5V to 5.5V; absolute max 6.5V. Bypass with 100nF close to the pin.
2 DIR input Direction control input, referenced to VCCA. DIR=H drives A→B; DIR=L drives B→A. VIH≥2V, VIL≤0.8V.
3 A1 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 1, referenced to VCCA. Drives ±24mA at 5V VCCA; input tolerant to VCCA+0.5V.
4 A2 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 2, referenced to VCCA.
5 A3 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 3, referenced to VCCA.
6 A4 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 4, referenced to VCCA.
7 A5 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 5, referenced to VCCA.
8 A6 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 6, referenced to VCCA.
9 A7 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 7, referenced to VCCA.
10 A8 bidirectional A-port transceiver I/O bit 8, referenced to VCCA.
11 GND power_in Device ground. Tie all GND pins (11, 12, 13) to a common low-impedance ground plane.
12 GND power_in Device ground.
13 GND power_in Device ground.
14 B8 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 8, referenced to VCCB. Drives ±24mA at VCCB=3V; input tolerant to VCCB+0.5V.
15 B7 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 7, referenced to VCCB.
16 B6 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 6, referenced to VCCB.
17 B5 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 5, referenced to VCCB.
18 B4 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 4, referenced to VCCB.
19 B3 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 3, referenced to VCCB.
20 B2 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 2, referenced to VCCB.
21 B1 bidirectional B-port transceiver I/O bit 1, referenced to VCCB.
22 OE input Active-low output-enable input, referenced to VCCA. OE=L enables the transceiver outputs; OE=H places both A- and B-port I/Os in high-impedance.
23 VCCB power_in Power supply for B side. Pin diagram shows 'NC,VCCB' - Pin Functions table lists this pin as VCCB (2.7V to 3.6V recommended); it may be left NC only if pin 24 is used as the sole VCCB tie.
24 VCCB power_in Power supply for B side. Recommended 2.7V to 3.6V; absolute max 4.6V. Bypass with 100nF close to the pin.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn74lvc4245apwr.step 315 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn74lvc4245apwr-etched.step 3.3 MB You want the part with SN74LVC4245APWR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 838 faces against 387 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
