Product details
Overview
74AHCT16245DLRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting 3-state bus transceiver in SSOP-48 package, supporting bidirectional data flow between A and B buses with independent direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls, 5-V supply operation, TTL-compatible inputs, and ±8-mA output drive-used in telecom infrastructure backplanes and industrial I/O modules for level-shifting and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 datasheet, 74AHCT16245DLRG4 pinout, 74AHCT16245DLRG4 application, or 74AHCT16245DLRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional modes, real-world timing specs (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11 ns @ 15 pF), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61.0°C/W), noise-immune slow-edge outputs, and precise pin-level circuit roles for layout and signal integrity validation.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT16245DLRG4 implements two independent 8-bit transceiver channels, each with dedicated DIR and OE pins enabling simultaneous or asymmetric bus control. Its CMOS architecture features TTL-input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), allowing reliable interfacing between 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V peripherals.
Each channel supports bidirectional data transfer with noninverting logic: when DIR = L, data flows B→A; when DIR = H, data flows A→B; OE = H forces all outputs into high-impedance state. The device uses distributed VCC/GND pins to minimize switching noise and includes flow-through pinout for optimized PCB routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerance to supply ripple. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - sufficient for driving multiple TTL loads without external buffers, limiting bus contention risk. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11 ns @ CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in 20-MHz+ synchronous bus systems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - guarantees robust recognition of 3.3-V logic levels on 5-V supply, enabling up-translation. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 61.0°C/W (SSOP) - supports continuous operation at 125°C ambient in compact industrial enclosures. |
| ESD Rating | HBM = 1500 V - meets industrial handling requirements without special ESD precautions beyond standard protocols. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive gateways and factory-floor PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT16245DLRG4 is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.635-mm pitch, body size 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm, and exposed thermal pad not present-designed for surface-mount reflow assembly with JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit channel: DIR = H enables A→B; DIR = L enables B→A. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places all associated A/B pins in high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A I/O terminals | First and second 8-bit bus interface side; bidirectional data path controlled by respective DIR/OE. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B I/O terminals | Second bus side; electrically identical to Port A, isolated when OE is high. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve power delivery integrity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins minimize ground bounce and support clean return paths for all 16 I/Os. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V allows direct connection to legacy 3.3-V MCU GPIOs without level shifters. |
| Slow-edge output drivers | Controlled slew rate reduces overshoot/undershoot on long PCB traces, eliminating need for series termination. |
| Flow-through pinout | A/B port pins aligned top-to-bottom across package edge-enables straight trace routing and minimizes crosstalk. |
| Distributed power/ground | Four VCC and eight GND pins suppress high-frequency noise and maintain stable VCC during 16-bit switching events. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during hot-swap or transient overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT16245DGGR | TSSOP-48 package (12.50 mm × 6.10 mm); RθJA = 68.1°C/W; same electrical specs and pinout. | Better suited for space-constrained designs where board area is prioritized over thermal margin. | Select when footprint reduction outweighs thermal performance needs; requires updated land pattern. |
| 74LVC16245APAG | 3.3-V only supply (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA); different VIH/VIL thresholds (1.7 V / 0.7 V). | Not suitable for 5-V bus translation; requires external level shifting for mixed-voltage systems. | Choose only for pure 3.3-V systems needing higher drive; incompatible with 5-V A/B bus operation. |
Compared with 74AHCT16245DLRG4, SN74AHCT16245DGGR offers identical functionality in a smaller TSSOP package but with 11% higher thermal resistance, while 74LVC16245APAG lacks 5-V compatibility and cannot replace it in up-translation applications without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74AHCT16245DLRG4?
The 74AHCT16245DLRG4 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and thermal characterization data. This range supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs, factory-floor PLCs, and outdoor telecom cabinets without derating. The SSOP package's RθJA of 61.0°C/W ensures junction temperature remains within safe limits even at full load and max ambient.
Does the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 support 3.3-V to 5-V level translation?
Yes, the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 supports reliable 3.3-V to 5-V up-translation due to its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and 5-V VCC operation. When driven by a 3.3-V microcontroller, its inputs recognize logic-high signals correctly, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5 V-enabling direct interface to legacy 5-V peripherals without external translators. This capability is explicitly confirmed in TI's Application Information section.
How many independent transceiver channels does the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 contain?
The 74AHCT16245DLRG4 contains two independent 8-bit transceiver channels (labeled Channel 1 and Channel 2), each with dedicated direction (1DIR/2DIR) and output-enable (1OE/2OE) controls. This allows asymmetric operation-for example, enabling A→B data flow on Channel 1 while isolating Channel 2-providing flexible bus partitioning in complex multi-processor systems.
What is the purpose of the distributed VCC and GND pins on the 74AHCT16245DLRG4?
The 74AHCT16245DLRG4 features four VCC pins (7, 18, 31, 42) and eight GND pins (4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) to minimize simultaneous switching noise and ground bounce. This distributed power/ground architecture ensures low-inductance return paths for all 16 I/Os, stabilizes local VCC during high-speed switching, and improves signal integrity-especially critical in dense backplane and high-reliability industrial layouts.
Can the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the 74AHCT16245DLRG4 supports hot-swap use cases due to its high latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17), overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), and robust 3-state isolation. When OE is held high during insertion, all I/Os remain in high-impedance state, preventing bus contention. Its –40°C to 125°C rating and 1500-V HBM ESD protection further ensure reliability during live system reconfiguration.
