Product details
Overview
74ACT16245DLRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses in industrial and embedded systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C temperature range, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout in memory and peripheral interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16245DLRG4 datasheet, 74ACT16245DLRG4 pinout, 74ACT16245DLRG4 application, or 74ACT16245DLRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional data control via DIR/G inputs, TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, distributed VCC/GND for noise reduction, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density board designs.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16245DLRG4 implements dual-octal transceiver logic with independent direction (DIR) and output-enable (G) controls per 8-bit port, enabling flexible A↔B or B↔A data routing without external timing circuitry. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and supports TTL-level input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2.0 V).
Switching performance is characterized by tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.5 ns (max) at VCC = 5.5 V, with tPZH/tPZL ≤ 11.6 ns for output enable/disable transitions. Power dissipation capacitance is 52 pF (enabled) and 10 pF (disabled), supporting low dynamic power in burst-mode bus operations.
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 and tolerant of supply ripple. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to directly drive terminated bus lines without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤10.5 ns - enables reliable operation in 50-MHz+ synchronous bus systems. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage - accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds, eliminating level-shifter requirements. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 52 pF (enabled), 10 pF (disabled) - reduces dynamic current draw during idle or low-activity states. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical at 125°C - meets stringent reliability requirements for harsh thermal environments. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16245DLRG4 uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for automated assembly and high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-High signal selecting data flow direction (L = B→A, H = A→B) per octal section. |
| 1G, 2G | Output enable input | Active-Low control disabling all outputs to high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A I/O terminals | First and second 8-bit data bus interface on A side; TTL-compatible inputs, 3-state CMOS outputs. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B I/O terminals | First and second 8-bit data bus interface on B side; identical electrical characteristics to Port A. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and reduce ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides (e.g., A ports on left, B ports on right) to eliminate layer jumps and reduce trace length in PCB layout. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and five GND pins placed across the package perimeter to suppress high-speed switching noise and stabilize supply rail impedance. |
| EPIC™ CMOS process | 1-μm implanted CMOS technology delivering high noise immunity, low static power (<160 μA ICC), and robust latch-up resistance. |
| 3-State output control | Independent G inputs per octal group allow selective bus isolation without affecting adjacent channels or requiring global reset sequencing. |
| TTL-input compatibility | Guaranteed VIH = 2.0 V and VIL = 0.8 V ensure interoperability with legacy 5-V TTL logic families without pull-up resistors or translators. |
Applications
| Memory Interface | Peripheral Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16244DLR | Octal noninverting buffer (unidirectional only); lacks DIR input and B→A capability. | Suitable only for fixed-direction bus extension, not bidirectional communication. | Select when system requires one-way data flow and lower pin count is prioritized over flexibility. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | 3.3-V logic family; supports 1.65–3.6 V VCC; higher speed (tpd ≤ 5.5 ns) but lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V). | Required for mixed-voltage systems interfacing 3.3-V FPGAs or processors with 5-V peripherals. | Choose for modern low-voltage designs where 5-V tolerance is unnecessary and faster timing margins are critical. |
Compared with 74ACT16245DLRG4, the 74ACT16244DLR sacrifices bidirectionality for reduced complexity and cost in unidirectional paths, while the SN74LVC16245ADGGR shifts voltage domain and speed profile to suit 3.3-V ecosystems-neither offers pin-to-pin compatibility or identical 5-V TTL interface behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 74ACT16245DLRG4?
The 74ACT16245DLRG4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation outside this window may cause timing violations, increased power consumption, or reliability degradation. The 74ACT16245DLRG4 is not rated for 3.3-V operation and requires a stable 5-V rail with proper decoupling at all four VCC pins.
Does the 74ACT16245DLRG4 support hot-swap or live insertion?
The 74ACT16245DLRG4 is not explicitly qualified for hot-swap operation. While its 3-state outputs and high latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C) provide some margin, the device lacks built-in bus-hold, power-on reset, or IOFF protection. For live-insertion scenarios, external current-limiting resistors and sequencing controls are recommended to prevent bus contention during insertion. Always verify system-level stress conditions before deploying the 74ACT16245DLRG4 in hot-swap applications.
How many 74ACT16245DLRG4 devices can be connected to a single 50-pF bus line?
Each 74ACT16245DLRG4 contributes up to 16 pF of Cio per active I/O pin. With all 16 outputs enabled, total capacitive load is ~256 pF - exceeding typical 50-pF bus limits. In practice, only one 74ACT16245DLRG4 should drive a 50-pF line directly. For multi-device busing, use series termination or reduce fan-out by enabling only required transceivers via their individual G inputs, ensuring cumulative Cio stays within target timing budgets.
Is the 74ACT16245DLRG4 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 74ACT16245DLRG4 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by Texas Instruments' Package Option Addendum (July 2026). It uses NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and carries a JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating with unlimited peak reflow tolerance at 260°C. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through TI's official product page and Aetrix Electronics' material certifications portal.
Can unused control inputs on the 74ACT16245DLRG4 be left floating?
No, unused control inputs (1DIR, 2DIR, 1G, 2G) must not be left floating. Per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor of ≥5 kΩ to prevent metastability, excessive supply current, or unintended output activation. Floating DIR or G pins may cause erratic bus behavior, increased ICC, or oscillation due to noise coupling - a design violation that compromises functional safety and EMC performance of the 74ACT16245DLRG4.
