Product details
Overview
74AVCB164245 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation and 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional level-shifting between 1.4-V to 3.6-V domains (e.g., 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V). It features independent A/B ports tracking VCCA and VCCB, ±24-mA dynamic drive capability, Ioff partial-power-down support, and DOC™ circuitry for noise reduction. Used in mixed-voltage system interconnects such as FPGA-to-ASIC data buses.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVCB164245 datasheet, 74AVCB164245 pinout, 74AVCB164245 application, or 74AVCB164245 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage flexibility (1.4–3.6 V per rail), direction-controlled data flow, 3-state isolation timing (ten/tdis ≤ 9.8 ns), and overvoltage-tolerant I/O enabling robust mixed-signal board-level integration.
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer via DIR-controlled path selection and OE-gated 3-state output enable/disable. Each of its two 8-bit sections operates independently with control inputs (DIR, OE) referenced to VCCB, ensuring consistent logic thresholds across voltage domains.
The DOC™ (Dynamic Output Control) circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-lowering it initially for strong edge drive (±24 mA), then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk. Ioff protection disables outputs when either VCC rail is at GND, preventing back-current during power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - enables universal translation among 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic families without external level shifters. |
| IOH / IOL | ±24 mA at 2.5 V - delivers standard-output drive strength while maintaining low-voltage compatibility. |
| tpd (max) | 7.6 ns (VCCA = 2.5 V, VCCB = 2.5 V) - supports >100-MHz data rates in high-speed digital interconnects. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10 µA at 0 V - ensures safe partial-power-down operation and prevents current backflow during rail ramp-up/down. |
| VIH/VIL (control) | Referenced to VCCB - eliminates need for level-shifted control signals; simplifies interface to B-side controllers. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L → B→A; DIR = H → A→B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Drives corresponding port into high-impedance state when high; must be pulled up to VCCB for power-up safety. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data I/O (VCCA-referenced) | Connects to lower-voltage domain (e.g., 1.8-V FPGA core); tolerant up to 4.6 V. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data I/O (VCCB-referenced) | Connects to higher-voltage domain (e.g., 3.3-V peripheral bus); tolerant up to 4.6 V. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent supply rails | VCCA powers A-port I/O; VCCB powers B-port I/O and all control inputs - enables true dual-voltage operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins distributed across package for low-inductance return paths and noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Each port operates independently from 1.4 V to 3.6 V - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in heterogeneous SoC interfaces. |
| DOC™ dynamic drive control | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by modulating output impedance mid-transition - improves signal integrity without sacrificing edge speed. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging back-current when either VCC rail is unpowered - essential for hot-plug and graceful power sequencing in modular systems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands up to 4.6 V on any I/O pin regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing to legacy 5-V peripherals via series resistors or direct connection in 3.3-V systems. |
| VCCB-referenced controls | DIR/OE thresholds track VCCB - removes requirement for level-shifted control signals and simplifies PCB routing and timing closure. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC16T245RJR | 16-bit, dual-supply, but uses single OE/DIR per 16-bit bank (not dual 8-bit sections); slightly higher ICCA/ICCB leakage. | Lacks independent control per 8-bit segment - less flexible for split-bus architectures requiring granular enable control. | Choose when full 16-bit coherency is required and layout space favors 56-pin VFBGA over TSSOP-48. |
| TXB0108PWR | 8-bit auto-direction-sensing translator; no DIR pin; lower drive (±8 mA); no Ioff or DOC™. | Eliminates direction-control logic but cannot support synchronous bidirectional protocols like shared-memory bus arbitration. | Prefer for simple GPIO/peripheral expansion where direction is predictable and noise immunity is secondary to component count. |
Compared with SN74AVC16T245RJR and TXB0108PWR, the 74AVCB164245 uniquely provides per-octet DIR/OE control, ±24-mA drive, and DOC™ noise suppression - making it optimal for high-fidelity, mixed-voltage, synchronous bus bridging where timing predictability and signal integrity are critical.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the 74AVCB164245 support on its A and B ports?
The 74AVCB164245 supports independent supply voltages from 1.4 V to 3.6 V on both VCCA (A port) and VCCB (B port), enabling translation between common logic families including 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V domains. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and confirmed in the SCES394D datasheet Section 4.
How does the Ioff feature protect the 74AVCB164245 during power sequencing?
The Ioff circuitry in the 74AVCB164245 disables all outputs when either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, limiting leakage current to ±10 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow through powered-down sections - a critical safeguard during staggered power-up/down in multi-rail systems, as specified in Electrical Characteristics Table (Section 5).
Can the 74AVCB164245 be used without external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
No - the 74AVCB164245 requires OE pins to be tied to VCCB via a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's sink capability; TI recommends referencing the "Power-Up/Down Considerations" section of SCES394D for design guidance specific to the 74AVCB164245.
What is the purpose of DOC™ circuitry in the 74AVCB164245?
DOC™ (Dynamic Output Control) in the 74AVCB164245 dynamically adjusts output impedance during signal transitions: lowering it initially for strong edge drive (±24 mA), then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk. This maintains fast edge rates while reducing simultaneous switching noise - verified in Figure 1 and described in Section 7 of SCES394D.
Is the 74AVCB164245 pin-compatible with other AVCB-series transceivers?
The 74AVCB164245 is not pin-compatible with other AVCB devices such as SN74AVC16T245 due to differing pinouts (e.g., separate DIR/OE per octet vs. shared control) and package assignments. Its TSSOP-48 (DGG) footprint is unique to this dual-octet configuration, as shown in Terminal Assignments (Section 2) of the datasheet.
