Product details
Overview
74ALVTH16245ZQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting 3-state transceiver designed for 2.5-V/3.3-V VCC operation with 5-V tolerant I/O, −32/64 mA drive strength at 3.3 V, bus-hold circuitry, and hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state. It enables bidirectional data flow between A and B buses in mixed-voltage backplane or memory interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR datasheet, 74ALVTH16245ZQLR pinout, 74ALVTH16245ZQLR application, or 74ALVTH16245ZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3–3.6-V supply range, 5-V input tolerance, 3.1-ns max propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V), 42°C/W θJA thermal resistance, and GQL (VFBGA) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE inputs, supporting A→B or B→A data transmission with simultaneous isolation capability. Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) architecture delivers low static power dissipation while maintaining TTL-level compatibility in 5-V systems.
The integrated bus-hold circuit eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on data inputs, and distributed VCC/GND pins plus flow-through pinout reduce high-speed switching noise. Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent current backflow, and power-up 3-state ensures high-impedance outputs during ramp-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports both 2.5-V and 3.3-V system rails without level shifters |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without external voltage translation |
| Output Drive | −32 mA (high), 64 mA (low) at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient for driving multiple LVTTL loads or stubs on backplanes |
| Propagation Delay | ≤3.1 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - meets timing requirements for high-speed address/data bus applications |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA (IBHH/IBHL, VCC = 3 V) - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating need for external biasing |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 42°C/W (GQL package) - enables reliable operation in thermally constrained embedded modules |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during live board insertion into powered backplanes |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-48 (GQL) package with 0.5-mm pitch, 5.5 mm × 6.3 mm body size, and exposed thermal pad - optimized for space-constrained industrial control and telecom line-card designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-high signal selecting data flow direction per 8-bit section (A↔B) |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low signal enabling/disabling output drivers; high-impedance when asserted |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A Data I/O | First and second 8-bit data bus interface; supports bidirectional transfer with bus-hold |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B Data I/O | Second 8-bit data bus interface; electrically identical to Port A, fully 5-V tolerant |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power Supply | Distributed supply connections minimize simultaneous switching noise across 16-bit bus |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground Reference | Multiple ground pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 2.3–3.6-V VCC with 5-V-tolerant I/O allows seamless integration into hybrid-voltage systems |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all data inputs, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins arranged to enable straight-layer PCB routing, minimizing trace length and crosstalk |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signals and analog sections |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - ensures robustness in harsh industrial environments with ESD or surge events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVTH16245VR | Same ABT logic, identical electrical specs, but TVSOP-48 (DGV) package with 0.4-mm pitch and 3.6-mm width | Lower thermal resistance (58°C/W) but larger PCB footprint; no exposed thermal pad | Select VR for hand-soldering or lower-cost assembly where GQL's 0.5-mm pitch poses reflow challenges |

FAQ
What voltage levels does the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR support on its I/O pins?
The 74ALVTH16245ZQLR supports input and output voltages from 0 V to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V logic while operating from a 2.3–3.6-V supply. This 5-V tolerance is specified across the full temperature range and does not require external clamping diodes or level shifters.
Does the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR require external pullup or pulldown resistors on data lines?
No - the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (A and B ports), which maintains valid logic states on floating inputs without external components. Using pullup or pulldown resistors with the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet as it may interfere with bus-hold operation.
How does the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR support hot-insertion in live backplane systems?
The 74ALVTH16245ZQLR supports hot-insertion through two mechanisms: Ioff circuitry limits current to ±100 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow damage during insertion; and power-up 3-state forces outputs into high-impedance during VCC ramp-up, avoiding bus conflicts. Both features are guaranteed over the full −40°C to 85°C operating range.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR?
The 74ALVTH16245ZQLR achieves ≤3.1 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) under 3.3-V conditions with 50-pF load, supporting reliable operation at data rates exceeding 150 Mbps in point-to-point configurations. System-level bandwidth is further enhanced by low output skew (≤118 ps tpsmax) and distributed power/ground pins that suppress simultaneous switching noise.
Is the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR pin-compatible with other ALVTH16245 variants?
Yes - the 74ALVTH16245ZQLR shares identical logic function, pin assignment, and signal naming with all ALVTH16245 variants (e.g., DGG, DGV, DL packages). The GQL package uses the same 48-pin top-view layout shown in the datasheet's "SN74ALVTH16245 . . . GQL PACKAGE (TOP VIEW)" diagram, ensuring drop-in replacement capability when mechanical constraints allow.
