Product details
Overview
74ACT16245DLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between parallel buses in industrial and embedded systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16245DLR datasheet, 74ACT16245DLR pinout, 74ACT16245DLR application, or 74ACT16245DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional data direction control (DIR), independent output-enable (G), TTL-compatible inputs, 3-state isolation behavior, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density routing constraints.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16245DLR implements dual-octal transceiver logic with separate DIR and G controls per 8-bit port pair, enabling independent A→B or B→A data flow. Its EPIC™ 1-μm CMOS process ensures TTL-voltage compatibility at inputs and low-noise switching via distributed VCC/GND pins.
Timing is governed by propagation delays under 11.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL) and enable/disable transitions under 12.7 ns (tPZL/tPHZ). The device uses flow-through architecture-inputs on one side, outputs on the opposite-to minimize trace crossovers and signal integrity degradation in high-speed bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to directly drive terminated 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤11.5 ns - enables reliable operation in 20-MHz+ synchronous bus systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.2 W (DL package) - manageable with standard PCB copper pour; no forced-air cooling required. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage - accepts 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds, eliminating need for external translators. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±5 μA (IOZ) - ensures robust bus isolation during disable mode with minimal standby current. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16245DLR is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, 0.5-mm pitch, 1.2-mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per octal bank: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B. |
| 1G, 2G | Output Enable Input | Active-low; G = L enables transceiver; G = H forces all outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A Inputs/Outputs | First and second octal data terminals on A-side bus; bidirectional when enabled. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B Inputs/Outputs | First and second octal data terminals on B-side bus; bidirectional when enabled. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power Supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground Reference | Five dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and enhance signal return path stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins placed on opposite sides of package to eliminate layer jumps and reduce crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and five GND pins suppress high-speed switching noise and maintain stable rail voltage across the die. |
| EPIC™ 1-μm CMOS process | Delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds and 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C for robust system-level reliability. |
| 3-state output isolation | Enables true bus sharing: disabled ports present <±5 μA leakage, preventing contention or back-driving. |
| Widebus™ family compatibility | Shares timing, drive strength, and pinout conventions with TI's 16-bit Widebus transceivers for design reuse. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane | Embedded Data Acquisition System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data exchange between CPU module and I/O expansion cards across a 16-bit parallel backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus transceiver managing real-time sensor read/write cycles and command forwarding with sub-12-ns latency. Use Value: Flow-through pinout allows direct layer routing without vias; 3-state isolation prevents bus contention during hot-swap events. | Use Scenario: Interfacing an FPGA-based acquisition controller with legacy ADC/DAC modules using shared 16-bit data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bridge synchronizing burst-mode sampling data transfers while isolating unused peripherals. Use Value: ±24 mA drive sustains signal integrity over 15-cm traces; TTL compatibility eliminates level-shifter components. |
| Test Equipment Mainframe | Automated Manufacturing Controller |
Use Scenario: Modular instrument chassis where measurement modules dynamically connect/disconnect from central bus under software control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolation gate enabling safe hot-plug insertion/removal of modules without disrupting active bus traffic. Use Value: Low 3-state leakage (<5 μA) guarantees zero current injection into powered-down modules during reconfiguration. | Use Scenario: Real-time motion control system coordinating servo drives, safety I/O, and HMI via centralized 16-bit parallel interconnect. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronized data relay between motion processor and peripheral interface ASICs with deterministic delay.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16245DGGR | TSSOP-48 package (24.4 mm wide); 0.65-mm pitch; lower thermal resistance (0.85 W max). | Better suited for space-constrained designs requiring finer pitch and higher density; same electrical specs. | Select DGGR for new designs prioritizing board area reduction and automated assembly compatibility. |
| SN74ABT16245DGG | ABT-family; higher drive (±64 mA); faster tPLH/tPHL (≤5.5 ns); 4.5–5.5 V supply. | Required where legacy 74ACT timing margins are insufficient or heavier bus loading exists. | Choose ABT variant only if measured bus rise/fall times exceed ACT limits or load capacitance exceeds 50 pF per line. |
Compared with 74ACT16245DLR, the DGGR offers identical functionality in a narrower TSSOP package ideal for compact layouts, while the SN74ABT16245DGG provides significantly higher drive strength and speed at the cost of increased power and noise sensitivity-making it suitable only when ACT performance is inadequate.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ACT16245DLR?
The 74ACT16245DLR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial-industrial temperature grade makes it suitable for use in factory automation equipment, test instrumentation, and embedded controllers deployed in non-hermetic enclosures without active thermal management.
Does the 74ACT16245DLR require external pull-up resistors on control inputs?
Yes - unused DIR or G inputs on the 74ACT16245DLR must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor of approximately 5 kΩ or greater. Floating control inputs may cause undefined output states, increased ICC, or erratic bus behavior due to internal noise coupling.
Can the 74ACT16245DLR drive a 50-Ω transmission line directly?
Yes - the 74ACT16245DLR delivers ±24 mA output current, which supports direct driving of properly terminated 50-Ω lines at 5 V. Measured VOL ≤ 0.44 V and VOH ≥ 3.94 V at 24 mA ensure adequate noise margin for TTL- and CMOS-compatible receivers.
Is the 74ACT16245DLR pin-compatible with other Widebus transceivers?
Yes - the 74ACT16245DLR shares identical pinout, function mapping, and timing behavior with other DL-packaged Widebus 16-bit transceivers including SN74ACT16244DLR and SN74ACT16373DLR, enabling drop-in replacement within the same package footprint and PCB layout.
What is the meaning of "flow-through architecture" in the 74ACT16245DLR datasheet?
Flow-through architecture in the 74ACT16245DLR places all Port A signals on one side of the SSOP-48 package and all Port B signals on the opposite side. This eliminates trace crossovers on PCBs, reduces layer count, improves signal integrity, and simplifies high-speed bus routing without requiring vias or serpentine compensation.
