Product details
Overview
74ALVT16245DL,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state transceiver operating at 2.5V or 3.3V supply with 5V-tolerant I/O pins. It features bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE inputs, bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups, and ±64mA/–32mA output drive capability. It is used in high-speed backplane and memory bus interface applications requiring level translation between 2.5V/3.3V logic and 5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVT16245DL,118 datasheet, 74ALVT16245DL,118 pinout, 74ALVT16245DL,118 application, or 74ALVT16245DL,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (≤2.4ns at 3.3V), bus-hold functionality, 5V I/O compatibility, and SSOP-48 package thermal performance for dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ALVT16245DL,118 implements dual 8-bit transceiver sections (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each with independent direction (nDIR) and output enable (nOE) controls. Its BiCMOS architecture enables TTL-compatible input thresholds and fast switching while maintaining low ICCZ (≤70µA at 3.3V) in 3-state mode.
It supports live insertion/extraction and power-up 3-state behavior, with latch-up protection >500mA per JEDEC Std 17 and ESD robustness >2000V HBM. Bus-hold current ranges from ±75µA to ±140µA depending on VCC and input voltage, ensuring stable logic states on floating data lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3–2.7V or 3.0–3.6V - Dual-voltage operation enables interoperability across 2.5V and 3.3V system domains |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5ns typical (3.3V, CL=50pF) - Enables ≤667MHz data rates in point-to-point bus configurations |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0–5.5V input, –0.5–7.0V output - Allows direct connection to legacy 5V buses without level-shifting components |
| Output Drive | +64mA sink / –32mA source - Supports driving 50Ω transmission lines and multiple CMOS loads simultaneously |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75µA to ±140µA - Maintains valid logic levels on un-driven A/B port pins, eliminating need for external pull resistors |
| 3-State Off Current | ≤100µA (ICCZ) - Minimizes standby power in large-scale bus architectures with many disabled devices |
| ESD Protection | ≥2000V HBM, ≥400V MM - Ensures robustness during board handling and system integration |
Pinout & Package
74ALVT16245DL,118 is housed in a 48-pin plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP) with 7.5mm body width (SOT370-1), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal dissipation in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | nDIR | Direction control input - Low enables A→B data flow; High enables B→A flow per 8-bit section |
| 25, 48 | nOE | Active-low output enable - Drives all outputs to high-impedance when asserted, enabling bus sharing |
| 2–23, 26–47 (even/odd pairs) | nA0–nA7, nB0–nB7 | Bidirectional I/O ports - Each pair forms one 8-bit transceiver channel (1A/1B and 2A/2B) |
| 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45 | GND | Ground reference - Eight dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 7, 18, 31, 42 | VCC | Positive supply - Four VCC pins improve power delivery integrity and reduce simultaneous switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/O | Supports mixed-voltage systems without external level shifters - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVTH16245VR | TI part with identical 2.5V/3.3V operation, 5V-tolerant I/O, and SSOP-48 packaging; tPLH/tPHL = 1.8ns typical at 3.3V | Same functional role but requires verification of bus-hold strength (±60µA min) and ICCZ (≤100µA) against system leakage budgets | Select when TI supply chain alignment or qualification history is required; verify thermal derating above 70°C |
| 74LVT16245ADGG,118 | NXP variant with same pinout and AC specs but lacks bus-hold circuitry - requires external pull resistors on unused inputs | Suitable only where all inputs are actively driven; unsuitable for floating-bus or hot-swap scenarios | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs with fully terminated buses and no live-insertion requirement |
Compared with 74ALVT16245DL,118, SN74ALVTH16245VR offers comparable timing and robustness but slightly lower bus-hold current, while 74LVT16245ADGG,118 removes bus-hold entirely - making the original 74ALVT16245DL,118 uniquely suited for systems with unterminated or dynamically configured data paths.

FAQ
What voltage levels does the 74ALVT16245DL,118 support on its I/O pins?
The 74ALVT16245DL,118 supports 5V-tolerant I/O operation, accepting input voltages from –0.5V to +7.0V and driving outputs up to +7.0V in high state. Its VCC supply operates at either 2.5V (2.3–2.7V range) or 3.3V (3.0–3.6V range), enabling seamless interfacing between 2.5V/3.3V logic domains and legacy 5V buses without external level shifters. This tolerance is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Electrical Characteristics tables of the Philips 1998 datasheet.
Does the 74ALVT16245DL,118 include bus-hold functionality, and how does it affect system design?
Yes, the 74ALVT16245DL,118 integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, providing ±75µA to ±140µA overdrive current depending on VCC and input voltage. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused or unterminated data lines, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential signal integrity issues caused by resistor parasitics. The feature is explicitly documented in the FEATURES and DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS sections of the datasheet.
What is the maximum propagation delay for the 74ALVT16245DL,118 at 3.3V operation?
At 3.3V supply and 50pF load, the 74ALVT16245DL,118 has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 2.4ns, with typical values of 1.5ns. This specification is measured from input transition (nAx or nBx) to corresponding output transition (nBx or nAx) under recommended operating conditions (Tamb = –40°C to +85°C). The value is confirmed in the AC CHARACTERISTICS (3.3V 0.3V RANGE) table on page 5 of the Philips datasheet.
Can the 74ALVT16245DL,118 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the 74ALVT16245DL,118 supports live insertion/extraction as stated in its FEATURES list. Its design includes power-up 3-state behavior, robust ESD protection (>2000V HBM), and latch-up immunity exceeding 500mA per JEDEC Std 17 - all critical for safe operation during board insertion into a powered backplane. These capabilities are validated in the Philips product specification and align with industrial hot-swap interface requirements.
What package type is used for the 74ALVT16245DL,118, and what are its mechanical characteristics?
The 74ALVT16245DL,118 uses a 48-pin plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP) with 7.5mm body width, designated SOT370-1. It features gull-wing leads, a standard pitch of 0.5mm, and is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C. Package dimensions and land pattern recommendations are specified in the Philips SOT370-1 datasheet, and the ordering code "DL" explicitly denotes this SSOP variant.
