Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 16-bit buses operating at 1.65 V to 3.6 V. It features ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 3 ns max propagation delay, and integrated bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull resistors. It is used in server backplanes and telecom infrastructure where voltage translation and high-drive bus interfacing are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 datasheet, 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 pinout, 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 application, or 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional modes, real-world timing behavior under load, bus-hold current specifications, thermal resistance (RθJA = 63°C/W), and precise TSSOP-48 package mapping - all confirmed from TI's SCES015M datasheet and orderable addendum.
Technical Context
The device implements dual independent 8-bit transceivers (Port A ↔ Port B), each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE inputs. Direction control is level-sensitive: DIR = H enables A→B transmission; DIR = L enables B→A transmission. Output enable is active-low: OE = L activates outputs; OE = H forces both ports into high-impedance state.
Input circuitry remains active regardless of OE state, requiring defined logic levels on all A/B pins to avoid excess ICCZ. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains undriven inputs at valid logic states without external components, and inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V - enabling reliable 5 V-to-3.3 V or 5 V-to-1.8 V down-translation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing across legacy and modern logic families. |
| Max tpd | 3 ns at 3.3 V - ensures sub-nanosecond timing margin for high-speed parallel bus operation up to ~300 MHz effective throughput. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3 V - drives long PCB traces, heavy capacitive loads (>50 pF), or multiple CMOS inputs without signal degradation. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - actively sustains logic state on floating inputs, removing need for external pullup/pulldown resistors and saving board space. |
| RθJA | 63°C/W (TSSOP-48) - defines thermal derating limit; continuous operation at full drive requires ≤40°C ambient or forced airflow for sustained 24-mA switching. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and assembly without special ESD controls beyond standard practice. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended temperature range in telecom, industrial, and networking equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package, 6.10 mm × 12.50 mm body size, 0.5 mm pitch, lead-free (NiPdAu), moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C reflow unlimited).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port I/O | First and second octal data bus inputs/outputs; bidirectional when enabled, high-Z when OE asserted. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port I/O | Corresponding B-side bus terminals; direction determined by associated DIR pin. |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Level-sensitive: HIGH → A→B data flow; LOW → B→A data flow per port pair. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low: LOW enables outputs; HIGH places both A and B ports in high-impedance state. |
| VCC (pins 7,18,31,42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus layout. |
| GND (pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for clean switching of 16 concurrent signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables safe interface with 5-V systems while powered from 1.8 V or 3.3 V rails. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates external pull resistors on all 32 data lines - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and routing complexity. |
| Dual independent control | Separate DIR/OE per octet allows asymmetric bus control - e.g., A→B on first 8 bits, B→A on second 8 bits simultaneously. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±24-mA drive supports fanout to ≥10 LVTTL loads or driving >10 cm FR4 traces without termination. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or hot-insertion events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V; degrades to ±12 mA at 2.5 V); no bus-hold; 5-V tolerant inputs only up to 5.5 V with VCC ≥ 2.3 V. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed applications where external pull resistors are acceptable and voltage translation is limited to 3.3 V ↔ 5 V. | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs need for bus-hold and guaranteed 1.65-V operation. |
| 74AVCH16245DGGR | Higher speed (1.8 ns tpd at 3.3 V); same bus-hold and overvoltage tolerance; identical pinout and package; operates down to 1.2 V. | Required for next-gen low-voltage systems (1.2 V–3.6 V) demanding tighter timing margins and lower power. | Select when migrating to sub-1.8-V domains or requiring <2 ns propagation delay with full feature parity. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR, 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 guarantees bus-hold and 1.65-V operation - critical for unpowered-bus robustness and ultra-low-voltage compatibility. Against 74AVCH16245DGGR, it trades 1.2 ns speed for broader legacy voltage support and identical footprint - ideal for field-upgradeable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage supported by the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4?
The 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 operates down to 1.65 V, as specified in TI's SCES015M datasheet Section 6.3. At this voltage, VOH is guaranteed ≥1.2 V and VOL ≤0.45 V under 4-mA load, ensuring reliable interfacing with 1.8-V logic families. Operation below 1.65 V is not characterized and may result in undefined timing or output behavior.
Does the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 require external pullup resistors on its data inputs?
No - the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 32 A/B-port inputs, maintaining valid logic states without external components. TI explicitly advises against adding pullup or pulldown resistors when bus-hold is enabled, as they conflict with internal biasing and may increase power consumption or cause contention.
Can the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 translate 5-V signals to a 1.8-V bus?
Yes - the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, making it suitable for 5-V-to-1.8-V down-translation. When VCC = 1.8 V, VIH is 1.17 V (0.65 × VCC) and VIL is 0.63 V (0.35 × VCC), ensuring correct recognition of 5-V TTL logic levels while driving 1.8-V compatible outputs.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 in its TSSOP-48 package?
The 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 in TSSOP-48 (DGG) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 63°C/W, per TI's SCES015M datasheet Section 6.4. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual performance improves with additional copper pour or thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) or with forced airflow.
How does the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4 handle power-up sequencing to avoid bus contention?
To ensure high-impedance state during power-up, TI recommends tying OE pins to VCC through a pullup resistor - minimum value determined by the driver's current-sinking capability. For the 74ALVCH16245DGGRG4, a 10-kΩ resistor is typical. This prevents unintended output activation before control logic stabilizes, eliminating risk of bus contention or excessive ICCZ.
