Product details

Through-hole DIP — board fit and sourcing note

The 20-pin DIP (0.300" row spacing) is a standard footprint for through-hole boards. It mates with 20-pin DIP sockets or can be soldered directly. The 8mA output drive per channel is adequate for point-to-point logic links and short bus segments; for heavily loaded backplanes or long cables, a higher-drive family (e.g., 74ABT with 32mA output) would be needed.

Lifecycle and compliance

No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy schedule is in effect. For new designs, it remains a valid choice; for existing BOMs, no supply-risk flag is raised.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use SN74AHC245N as a replacement for 74HC245?

Yes, the SN74AHC245N is a direct functional replacement for the 74HC245 in most designs. The AHC series offers higher speed and lower power consumption while maintaining pin compatibility and the same 2V to 5.5V supply range. Verify the output drive (8mA) meets your load requirements.

Is SN74AHC245N pin compatible with SN74HCT245N?

Yes, the SN74AHC245N is pin compatible with the SN74HCT245N. Both are 20-pin DIP transceivers with the same DIR and OE control logic. The AHC variant operates from 2V to 5.5V, while HCT is optimized for 5V TTL-compatible inputs.

What is the closest functional second-source for SN74AHC245N?

The SN74ABT2245DW is a surface-mount (SOIC) 8-bit transceiver with higher output drive (32mA) but a fixed 4.5V supply and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It is not a pin-compatible drop-in due to package differences, but it fills the same bus-transceiver role for high-drive, 5V-only designs.
