Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the PI5C3245LE is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Circuit configuration (8 x 1:1 topology)
- Voltage supply range compatibility (minimum 4.75V operation required)
- Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
- Package form factor and pin count (20-pin surface mount)
- RoHS3 compliance and environmental certifications
Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on package compatibility:
Group 1: Identical Package (20-TSSOP, 0.173" width) – Direct pin-compatible replacements with no PCB layout modifications required.
Group 2: Alternative Packages (20-SSOP, 20-TVSOP) – Functionally equivalent but requiring PCB footprint adjustment. These maintain the same electrical specifications and pin count but differ in physical dimensions.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Pin-Compatible Replacements (No PCB Modification Required):
SN74CBT3245APW and SN74CBT3245APWR from Texas Instruments are the preferred direct substitutes for PI5C3245LE. Both maintain identical 20-TSSOP packaging with 0.173" width and support the full -40°C to 85°C operating range. SN74CBT3245APWR offers extended supply voltage range (4V ~ 5.5V) compared to the PI5C3245LE (4.75V ~ 5.25V), providing additional design margin. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.
FST3245MTCX from onsemi is functionally equivalent in the same 20-TSSOP package but carries Obsolete product status, limiting its suitability for new designs despite current inventory availability.
Alternative Package Options (PCB Footprint Modification Required):
SN74CBT3245CDBQR and SN74CBT3245CDBR from Texas Instruments provide Active product status, ensuring long-term availability. Both use 20-SSOP packaging with different width specifications (0.154" and 0.209" respectively). SN74CBT3245CDBR maintains MSL 1 rating identical to the original part. These alternatives require PCB layout changes but offer superior supply chain continuity.
SN74CBT3245CDGVR offers Active status in 20-TVSOP packaging (0.173" width), providing another footprint option while maintaining electrical compatibility.
Not Recommended:
QS32245QG from IDT, despite Active status, implements a different circuit topology (1 x 8:1 versus 8 x 1:1), making it functionally incompatible for direct substitution despite matching voltage and temperature specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use SN74CBT3245CDBQR as a direct replacement for PI5C3245LE without modifying my PCB?
A: No. While SN74CBT3245CDBQR is electrically equivalent, it uses 20-SSOP packaging (0.154" width) instead of the 20-TSSOP (0.173" width) of the PI5C3245LE. PCB footprint modification is required. For direct replacement without layout changes, use SN74CBT3245APW or SN74CBT3245APWR.
Q: What is the voltage supply difference between PI5C3245LE and SN74CBT3245APWR?
A: PI5C3245LE operates at 4.75V ~ 5.25V, while SN74CBT3245APWR operates at 4V ~ 5.5V. The Texas Instruments part accepts lower minimum voltage (4V versus 4.75V) and higher maximum voltage (5.5V versus 5.25V), providing broader supply compatibility.
Q: Why is QS32245QG not suitable as a substitute?
A: QS32245QG implements a 1 x 8:1 circuit topology, which is functionally different from the 8 x 1:1 configuration of PI5C3245LE. Circuit topology determines signal routing architecture and cannot be interchanged without redesigning the application logic.
Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term supply availability?
A: SN74CBT3245CDBQR and SN74CBT3245CDBR from Texas Instruments carry Active product status, indicating ongoing production and support. PI5C3245LE and most SN74CBT3245A variants are Last Time Buy, with limited future availability.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?
A: All substitute parts listed except QS32245QG explicitly state RoHS3 compliance. QS32245QG does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application before selection.
Q: What does MSL 1 versus MSL 2 mean for component handling?
A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control. MSL 2 requires moisture control and has a 1-year shelf life limit. PI5C3245LE carries MSL 1. Some substitutes (SN74CBT3245ADBQR, SN74CBT3245CDBQR) carry MSL 2, requiring stricter storage and handling procedures.
