Product details
Overview
74ALVC16240DT from onsemi is an inverting 16-bit buffer IC with 3-state outputs, designed for low-voltage operation at 1.65–3.6 V supply. It features four independent nibble controls (OE1–OE4), 3.6 V-tolerant I/O, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and propagation delays as low as 3.0 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V). It is used in high-speed bus interface applications requiring level translation and bus isolation in mixed-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC16240DT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include voltage tolerance (3.6 V I/O), per-nibble 3-state control, static drive capability across 1.65–3.6 V, IOFF support for live insertion, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ALVC16240DT implements four independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each controlled by its own Output Enable (OEn) input. Each nibble operates identically but electrically isolated-enabling flexible bus segmentation without signal crosstalk between groups.
Its 3.6 V-tolerant inputs/outputs allow direct interfacing with higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5 V or 3.3 V peripherals) while powered from 1.8 V or 2.5 V rails. The IOFF specification ensures high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, supporting hot-swap and live-insertion use cases in backplane and modular systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-rail operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V system domains |
| Input/Output Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6 V - enables safe interfacing with legacy 3.3 V or 5 V logic without external level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay | 3.0 ns @ 3.0–3.6 V - meets timing requirements for >300 MHz bus toggling in DDR and address/data multiplexing |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA @ 3.0 V - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple inputs) without signal degradation |
| IOFF Leakage | 10 µA @ VCC = 0 V - guarantees true high-impedance state during power-down, preventing backfeeding |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 40 µA - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parametric shift |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (Case 1201, DT suffix), 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed pad not present, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - suitable for standard reflow and automated assembly without baking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1–OE4 (Pins 1, 24, 25, 48) | Nibble Output Enable Inputs | Active-low control per 4-bit group; allows selective bus gating without affecting other nibbles |
| D0–D15 (Pins 2,3,5,6,8–12,13–17,19–23,26,27,29,30,32,33,35–37,40,41,43,44,46,47) | Data Inputs | Inverting inputs - output logic state is complement of input; supports active-low signaling conventions |
| O0–O15 (Pins 2,3,5,6,8–12,13–17,19–23,26,27,29,30,32,33,35–37,40,41,43,44,46,47) | 3-State Outputs | High-impedance when corresponding OEn = HIGH; driven LOW/HIGH only when OEn = LOW |
| VCC (Pins 7,18,30,41) | Power Supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide operating frequency range |
| GND (Pins 4,10,15,21,38,44) | Ground Reference | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for maintaining signal integrity at sub-4 ns switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVC16240DGGR | TSSOP-48, identical pinout and electrical specs; TI part with same 1.65–3.6 V range and 3.6 V-tolerant I/O | No functional difference; validated for same bus isolation and level translation use cases | Drop-in replacement with identical layout and firmware - preferred where TI sourcing or dual-sourcing is required |
| 74LVC16240APAG | TSSOP-48, same function but rated 1.65–3.6 V with lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V only; ≤±12 mA below 2.7 V) | Marginally slower (4.2 ns max @ 3.3 V); lacks IOFF spec - unsuitable for hot-swap | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-hot-swap applications where full 1.8 V drive strength is not required |
Compared with SN74ALVC16240DGGR, the 74ALVC16240DT offers identical performance and pinout but different traceability and qualification history; versus 74LVC16240APAG, it delivers superior low-voltage drive and mandatory IOFF for live-insertion systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74ALVC16240DT?
The 74ALVC16240DT does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its propagation delay of 3.0 ns (max) at 3.0–3.6 V implies reliable operation up to approximately 333 MHz for toggle-based bus applications. Actual usable frequency depends on load capacitance, trace routing, and system timing margins - design validation with worst-case 30 pF loading and 500 Ω termination is recommended for high-speed deployments of the 74ALVC16240DT.
Can the 74ALVC16240DT be used with a 1.8 V supply and 3.3 V input signals?
Yes, the 74ALVC16240DT supports 1.8 V VCC operation while accepting 3.3 V input signals - its inputs are explicitly rated for 3.6 V tolerance per the datasheet. This allows safe interfacing between 1.8 V logic domains and 3.3 V peripherals without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry, a key capability confirmed for the 74ALVC16240DT in mixed-voltage system designs.
Does the 74ALVC16240DT support hot-swap functionality?
Yes, the 74ALVC16240DT supports hot-swap via its IOFF specification: when VCC = 0 V, all I/O pins enter a high-impedance state with leakage ≤10 µA, preventing backfeeding into unpowered circuitry. This behavior is tested and guaranteed per JESD78, making the 74ALVC16240DT suitable for live-insertion applications such as modular telecom line cards and server mezzanine boards.
How many output enable (OE) inputs does the 74ALVC16240DT have, and how are they assigned?
The 74ALVC16240DT has four independent output enable inputs: OE1 (Pin 1), OE2 (Pin 24), OE3 (Pin 25), and OE4 (Pin 48). Each controls a 4-bit nibble - OE1 governs D0–D3/O0–O3, OE2 governs D4–D7/O4–O7, OE3 governs D8–D11/O8–O11, and OE4 governs D12–D15/O12–O15 - enabling selective bus gating without affecting other data lanes in the 74ALVC16240DT.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74ALVC16240DT in its TSSOP-48 package?
The 74ALVC16240DT in TSSOP-48 (Case 1201) has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 90 °C/W under JEDEC-standard test conditions: minimum pad spacing on FR4, 10 mm × 1 inch 2-ounce copper trace, no airflow. This value assumes proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias - actual θJA may improve to ~55–65 °C/W with optimized layout, critical for sustained 24 mA output drive in the 74ALVC16240DT.
