Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16646DGGY from Nexperia is a 16-bit non-inverting bus transceiver/register with 3-state outputs, dual D-type flip-flop registers per data path, and independent A↔B direction control. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, supports real-time and registered data transfer modes, and is used in high-density memory/data bus interface applications requiring bidirectional flow-through architecture.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16646DGGY datasheet, 74ALVCH16646DGGY pinout, 74ALVCH16646DGGY application, or 74ALVCH16646DGGY equivalent, this device enables multiplexed, clock-synchronized bidirectional data routing between two 16-bit buses while maintaining signal integrity across industrial temperature ranges (−40 °C to +85 °C) and supporting bus-hold on all inputs.
Technical Context
The device integrates two independent 8-bit transceiver/register sections (Section 1 and Section 2), each with dedicated clock (nCPAB/nCPBA), direction (nDIR), output enable (nOE), and select (nSAB/nSBA) controls. Each section implements dual-path register storage-data can be latched from either bus into internal D-flip-flops on LOW-to-HIGH clock transitions, then routed to the opposite bus under direction and select logic.
Its MULTIBYTE™ flow-through pinout minimizes trace skew and crosstalk, while active bus-hold circuitry eliminates external pull-ups on unused data lines. The TSSOP56 package features multiple VCC/GND pairs to suppress ground bounce and noise, enabling reliable operation on 50 Ω transmission lines up to 320 MHz per channel at 3.3 V.
Key Specifications

| Output drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines directly at 85 °C ambient. |
| Bus-hold current | IBHL = 75–150 μA, IIBHH = −75 to −175 μA - Actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels without external resistors. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
| Max clock frequency | 320 MHz - Supports high-throughput register-to-bus transfers in real-time data acquisition subsystems. |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP56 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT364-1); 56 leads; body width 6.1 mm; 0.5 mm pitch; exposed thermal pad not present; RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Data I/O (Bus A side) | Primary bidirectional data terminals for Bus A; input when enabled as source, output when enabled as sink. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Data I/O (Bus B side) | Primary bidirectional data terminals for Bus B; function mirrors 1A/2A pins with independent control. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active-LOW) | Disables all outputs to high-impedance state; must be pulled HIGH via resistor during power-up for safe default. |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control | Determines data flow direction: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; effective only when nOE = LOW. |
| 1CPAB, 2CPAB | CLK A-to-B | LOW-to-HIGH transition clocks data from Bus A into internal register for later B-bus output. |
| 1CPBA, 2CPBA | CLK B-to-A | LOW-to-HIGH transition clocks data from Bus B into internal register for later A-bus output. |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Select A-to-B | When HIGH, routes stored A-register data to Bus B; when LOW, passes real-time A-bus data transparently. |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Select B-to-A | When HIGH, routes stored B-register data to Bus A; when LOW, passes real-time B-bus data transparently. |
| VCC (pins 7, 22, 35, 50) | Power supply | Four distributed supply pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide operating bandwidth. |
| GND (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53) | Ground reference | Eight ground pins minimize ground loop inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the nSAB and nSBA pins?
The nSAB (Select A-to-B) and nSBA (Select B-to-A) pins control multiplexing between real-time and registered data paths. When nSAB = HIGH, stored data from the A-side register is routed to Bus B; when LOW, live A-bus data passes through transparently. Identical behavior applies to nSBA for B-to-A routing. This enables flexible data staging without external logic.
How does the bus-hold feature operate and what design benefit does it provide?
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains unused or floating data inputs at their last-valid logic level using weak feedback transistors. It draws 75–150 μA for LOW and −75 to −175 μA for HIGH states. This eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors, reduces BOM count, prevents metastability in unterminated stubs, and improves system reliability during power sequencing.
Can both Bus A and Bus B be driven simultaneously?
No. The device enforces strict one-bus-at-a-time driving: only Bus A or Bus B may be actively driven at any moment. This is enforced by internal logic that disables conflicting outputs when direction and enable signals would otherwise cause contention. Attempting simultaneous drive violates functional specification and risks excessive current draw or undefined states.
What is the recommended power-up sequence to ensure high-impedance outputs at startup?
To guarantee outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up, tie nOE (pins 56 and 29) to VCC via a pull-up resistor. Minimum resistance is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This ensures nOE stays HIGH until firmware asserts control, preventing bus contention on power application.
