Product details
Overview
74AVCAH164245ZQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation, supporting 1.4 V to 3.6 V on both A and B ports, ±24 mA drive strength, Ioff partial-power-down protection, and bus-hold circuitry. It enables bidirectional level-shifting between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V) in high-speed digital interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR datasheet, 74AVCAH164245ZQLR pinout, 74AVCAH164245ZQLR application, or 74AVCAH164245ZQLR equivalent, this device is selected for low-noise, high-drive asynchronous bus bridging where supply rail independence, dynamic output control (DOC™), and robust floating-input handling are required.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements two independent 8-bit sections (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), each supporting bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and isolated via OE. Control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced to VCCA, ensuring consistent logic thresholds regardless of VCCB level.
The DOC™ circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-lowering it initially for fast edge drive, then raising it to suppress switching noise without sacrificing propagation speed. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on unused A/B data inputs, eliminating external bias resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.4 V to 3.6 V per rail - enables interoperability across 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level-shifters. |
| Output drive (IOH/IOL) | ±24 mA at 2.5 V VCC - delivers standard-output drive strength while maintaining low-voltage operation. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 1.3 ns to 6.8 ns (VCCA/VCCB = 1.8 V/2.5 V) - supports >100 MHz bus timing in typical mixed-rail configurations. |
| Ioff current | ±10 µA max when either VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting powered subsystems. |
| Bus-hold input current | ±100 µA to ±525 µA (VIN near VIL/VIH) - sustains stable logic levels on floating inputs without external components. |
| Dynamic Output Control | DOC™-enabled - reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by adjusting output impedance mid-transition, preserving signal integrity. |
| ESD rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and operation. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA–GQL package (48-pin, 5 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), bottom-side ball layout with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 located at corner A2 (top-left per JEDEC-standard orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section (L = B→A, H = A→B); referenced to VCCA. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low; places associated port outputs in high-impedance state when high; referenced to VCCA. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data I/O | Track VCCA supply; accept 1.4–3.6 V logic; include bus-hold circuitry. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data I/O | Track VCCB supply; tolerate 1.4–3.6 V logic; overvoltage-tolerant up to 4.6 V. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Power supplies | Independent rails; each powers respective port logic and I/O; must be decoupled locally. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins (pins A4, A5, C3, C4 in GQL) reduce ground bounce in high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Full 1.4 V–3.6 V range on both A and B ports enables seamless interface between disparate logic families (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA ↔ 3.3 V peripheral). |
| Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by 30–50% vs. fixed-drive outputs while maintaining sub-7 ns propagation delays. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines, saving PCB area and BOM cost. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents current backflow when one supply is off, enabling safe hot-swap and power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | B-port pins withstand up to 4.6 V regardless of VCCB, allowing safe connection to higher-voltage buses during translation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245RKR | 16-bit, dual-supply, but uses AVCH logic family with lower drive (±12 mA) and no DOC™ circuitry. | Lacks dynamic noise suppression; suitable only for lower-speed (<50 MHz), lower-noise environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise performance and drive strength requirements. |
| SN74LVC16T245DGGR | Single-supply (1.65–3.6 V), no VCCA/VCCB separation; lacks Ioff and bus-hold features. | Cannot translate between mismatched rails; requires external pullups and power sequencing care. | Choose only for same-voltage-domain buffering where rail independence is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74AVCH16T245RKR and SN74LVC16T245DGGR, the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR uniquely combines dual-rail translation, DOC™ noise control, and integrated bus-hold-making it the only option for robust, high-speed, mixed-voltage bus bridging without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on B-port pins when VCCB = 0 V?
The 74AVCAH164245ZQLR B-port pins tolerate up to 4.6 V regardless of VCCB state, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This overvoltage tolerance allows safe connection to live buses during power sequencing or partial shutdown-critical in hot-swap and multi-rail systems where VCCB may be unpowered while signals remain active.
How does the DOC™ circuitry in the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR reduce noise without slowing down signals?
The DOC™ circuitry in the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR dynamically lowers output impedance at signal transition onset for strong edge drive, then raises it mid-transition to damp ringing and crosstalk. This preserves propagation delay (as low as 1.3 ns) while cutting simultaneous switching noise by up to 50% compared to fixed-drive outputs-verified in TI application report SCEA009.
Can the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR operate with VCCA = 1.5 V and VCCB = 3.3 V simultaneously?
Yes-the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR is explicitly designed for asymmetric dual-rail operation. With VCCA = 1.5 V and VCCB = 3.3 V, it translates data bidirectionally while maintaining full functionality: DIR/OE thresholds track VCCA, B-port I/O tolerates 3.3 V, and DOC™ ensures clean edges. Propagation delay remains ≤6.7 ns (A→B) per datasheet Figure 2.
Is external pull-up resistance required on OE pins for reliable power-up behavior in the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR?
Yes-TI recommends tying OE to VCCA through a pull-up resistor at power-up to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until firmware asserts control. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's sink capability; for standard CMOS drivers, 10 kΩ is typical. This prevents bus contention during reset sequences, as detailed in Section 1 of the SCES396A datasheet.
Does the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR support hot-plug operation between powered and unpowered subsystems?
Yes-the 74AVCAH164245ZQLR supports hot-plug via its Ioff feature: when either VCCA or VCCB = 0 V, all outputs enter high-impedance and leakage stays below ±10 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow into unpowered rails, enabling safe insertion/removal in modular backplanes and field-upgradeable systems per JESD78 Class II latch-up compliance.
