Product details
Overview
74AC16245DLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in industrial control and memory interface systems. It operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive at 5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C temperature range, and features flow-through pinout architecture for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC16245DLG4 datasheet, 74AC16245DLG4 pinout, 74AC16245DLG4 application, or 74AC16245DLG4 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.9 ns at 5 V), package-specific thermal limits (1.2 W max in DL package), and validated alternatives for bus isolation and level-shifting use cases.
Technical Context
The 74AC16245DLG4 implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Direction control determines data flow path-A-to-B when DIR = HIGH, B-to-A when DIR = LOW-while OE asserts high-impedance state on both ports when HIGH.
Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process enables fast switching (tPZL ≤ 10.7 ns at 5 V), low input/output capacitance (Ci = 4.5 pF, Co = 16 pF), and robust latch-up immunity (500 mA typical at 125°C). Distributed VCC/GND pins minimize simultaneous switching noise in high-density bus applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - Supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and legacy 5-V logic compatibility. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24 mA at VCC = 5 V - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads across 16 lines without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.9 ns at VCC = 5 V - Enables reliable operation in sub-100-MHz synchronous bus environments. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH ≤ 8.6 ns, tPZL ≤ 10.7 ns at VCC = 5 V - Ensures clean bus arbitration with minimal contention window. |
| Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 4.5 pF, Co = 16 pF - Reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and downstream receivers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and programmable logic controllers. |
| Power Dissipation (DL pkg) | 1.2 W maximum at TA = 55°C - Dictates thermal pad design and airflow requirements for dense board layouts. |
Pinout & Package
74AC16245DLG4 is housed in a 48-pin shrink small-outline package (SSOP-DL), 380-mil body width, 25-mil pin pitch, with exposed thermal pad not electrically connected. Pin numbering follows standard DL top-view orientation with Pin 1 in Q1 quadrant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24, 25, 48 | VCC | Distributed power supply pins reduce IR drop and high-frequency noise coupling across 16-bit bus. |
| 12, 23, 35, 46 | GND | Distributed ground returns improve signal integrity and minimize ground bounce during parallel switching. |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-HIGH logic selects A→B (DIR=H) or B→A (DIR=L); asynchronous, no setup/hold required. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW logic disables both A and B ports into high-impedance state; enables bus isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A I/O | First and second octal data terminals on A side; bidirectional with direction set per section. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B I/O | First and second octal data terminals on B side; electrically identical to A-side ports. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides of package - eliminates layer jumps and reduces trace length in bus routing. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and four GND pins placed at strategic intervals - lowers impedance of power delivery network and suppresses simultaneous switching noise. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-µm fabrication with 500-mA latch-up immunity - ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments without external current limiting. |
| 3-state output control | Independent OE per 8-bit section - allows selective isolation of half-bus segments during partial updates or fault containment. |
| Wide supply range | 3 V to 5.5 V operation - supports direct interface with 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC16245DGGR | Same AC logic family, identical electrical specs, but in 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) package with 0.5-mm pitch and smaller footprint (6.1 × 12.5 mm vs DL's 9.9 × 15.4 mm). | Preferred for space-constrained designs where thermal dissipation < 0.85 W is acceptable; requires rework of land pattern and stencil. | Select SN74AC16245DGGR when board area is critical and lower power density is acceptable. |
| 74LVC16245APAG | Lower voltage operation (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD ≤ 5.5 ns at 3.3 V), but only rated to 125°C ambient and lacks 5-V tolerance. | Suitable for 3.3-V-only systems like portable instrumentation; incompatible with 5-V buses or mixed-supply backplanes. | Choose 74LVC16245APAG only in fully 3.3-V domains where 5-V interoperability is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74AC16245DGGR, the 74AC16245DLG4 offers higher thermal capacity (1.2 W vs 0.85 W) and proven 5-V robustness; versus 74LVC16245APAG, it retains full 5-V logic compatibility and industrial temperature margin at the cost of slightly higher propagation delay.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 74AC16245DLG4?
The 74AC16245DLG4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is 3 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks exceeding specified timing and drive characteristics, and is not supported per TI's SCAS235A datasheet. The 74AC16245DLG4 must be powered within this 3–5.5 V window for guaranteed functionality and reliability across its –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Does the 74AC16245DLG4 support hot-swapping or live insertion?
The 74AC16245DLG4 is not explicitly qualified for hot-swap operation, but its 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and robust 3-state control make it tolerant of controlled insertion under power when OE is held HIGH during connection. However, TI does not guarantee glitch-free behavior during live insertion without external current-limiting or sequencing circuitry, and the 74AC16245DLG4 should be enabled only after stable VCC and signal settling per application note SCBA051.
How many independent transceiver sections does the 74AC16245DLG4 contain?
The 74AC16245DLG4 contains two independent 8-bit transceiver sections - labeled Section 1 (pins 1A1–1A8 / 1B1–1B8 / 1DIR / 1OE) and Section 2 (pins 2A1–2A8 / 2B1–2B8 / 2DIR / 2OE). Each section has separate direction and output-enable controls, allowing asymmetric data flow - for example, A→B on Section 1 while B→A on Section 2 - without internal crosstalk.
What is the thermal performance limit of the 74AC16245DLG4 in its DL package?
In the DL (shrink small-outline) package, the 74AC16245DLG4 has a maximum power dissipation of 1.2 W at TA = 55°C in still air, based on TI's SCAS235A datasheet. This corresponds to a junction-to-air thermal resistance (θJA) of approximately 104°C/W. To maintain reliability, board layout must include adequate copper pour on inner layers and avoid enclosing the 74AC16245DLG4 in thermally isolated zones.
Can the 74AC16245DLG4 be used for level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
Yes - the 74AC16245DLG4 accepts 3.3-V inputs safely (VIL = 1.35 V max at VCC = 4.5 V) and drives 5-V-tolerant loads with VOH ≥ 4.94 V at IOH = –24 mA when VCC = 5.5 V. Its wide 3–5.5 V supply range and 5-V-compatible I/O make the 74AC16245DLG4 suitable for unidirectional or bidirectional level shifting, provided direction control and OE sequencing prevent bus contention.
