Its supply range from 1.5 V to 5.5 V lets it bridge 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without an external level shifter — useful when a mixed-voltage backplane carries both a 3.3 V controller and 5 V peripherals. The military-temperature rating (–55°C to 125°C) covers avionics, satellite, and downhole instrumentation where the ambient can swing from a cold soak to a hot engine bay; the 24 mA sink and source drive is enough to fan out to eight standard LSTTL loads or drive a short ribbon cable directly. ## Active lifecycle — no LTB clock ticking The CD74AC245M96 carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. For a production line that already qualifies the 20-SOIC footprint, this part does not force an immediate requalification cycle. ## 24 mA output drive — signal-integrity budget on a loaded bus The 24 mA output current at both high and low levels determines how many receiver inputs the transceiver can drive before the edge rate degrades. In a 5 V system with 50 pF per node, 24 mA keeps the rise time under 5 ns across four or five loads; at 1.5 V the drive scales with the supply but still handles point-to-point links. The 3-state outputs let multiple transceivers share the same bus without contention — the DIR and OE pins control direction and bus isolation.","metaTitle":"CD74AC245M96 74AC Transceiver, Non-Inverting, 24mA, 20-SOIC","metaDescription":"CD74AC245M96 74AC series 8-bit transceiver, 1.5V–5.5V supply, 24mA output drive, –55°C to 125°C, 20-SOIC.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"74AC","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Series":"74AC","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Logic Type":"Transceiver, Non-Inverting","Output Type":"3-State","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"20-SOIC (0.295\\\", 7.50mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"1.5V ~ 5.5V","Number of Elements":"1","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C (TA)","Supplier Device Package":"20-SOIC","Current - Output High, Low":"24mA, 24mA","Number of Bits per Element":"8"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.97","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.97000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.86300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.81920","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.67290","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.62900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.55586","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.43884","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$0.41400","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/6d31c5f1a9c42a1bd7500325b7c3af91.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the replacement or cross reference for CD74AC245M96?","answer":"No official replacement or direct cross-reference is listed in the manufacturer's records. The part is still active, so no substitute is required. For dual-sourcing, the SN74LVTH16245ADGVR is a 16-bit transceiver in a different package (TSSOP) with a 2.7 V minimum supply and commercial temperature range — it is not a pin-compatible drop-in."},{"question":"How does CD74AC245M96 compare to 74HC245?","answer":"The 74AC family offers higher output drive (24 mA vs approximately 4 mA for HC at 5 V) and a wider supply range down to 1.5 V, while the 74HC245 typically operates from 2 V to 6 V. The AC variant also has faster propagation delays — typically 6 ns versus 12 ns for HC — making it a better fit for higher-speed bus interfaces. Both are available in 20-SOIC, but the pinout and function are identical."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74AC245M96","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74AC245M96 when reusing this data.
