Product details
Overview
74AVCB164245ZQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation and 3-state outputs, supporting bidirectional level-shifting between 1.4 V and 3.6 V rails (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V), delivering ±24 mA drive strength per output, and featuring Ioff partial-power-down protection. It enables asynchronous data exchange in mixed-voltage memory or processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVCB164245ZQLR datasheet, 74AVCB164245ZQLR pinout, 74AVCB164245ZQLR application, or 74AVCB164245ZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage configurability, DOC™-enabled noise reduction, guaranteed 3.1 ns min tpd at 3.3 V, high-impedance isolation during power sequencing, and VFBGA-56 (ZQL) package compatibility with fine-pitch PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each with dedicated DIR and OE controls referenced to VCCB. Its dual-rail architecture allows A-port operation at VCCA (1.4–3.6 V) and B-port operation at VCCB (1.4–3.6 V), enabling simultaneous translation across non-matching logic families without speed penalty.
The DOC™ circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-lowering it initially for fast edge drive, then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk. Ioff protection ensures <±10 µA leakage when either VCCA or VCCB = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - supports interoperability among 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains without external level shifters. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | ±24 mA at 2.5 V - delivers standard logic drive strength while maintaining low-voltage compatibility. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1.4 ns (min) to 5.9 ns (max) - enables high-speed bus bridging up to ~170 MHz (based on 5.9 ns worst-case tpd). |
| Ioff Leakage Current | <±10 µA at 0 V supply - prevents damaging current flow during hot-insertion or staggered power-up/down. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended commercial and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-56 (ZQL) package: 7.0 mm × 4.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 56-ball array with perimeter I/O and internal power/ground balls. Ball assignment follows JEDEC MO-194 compliant layout optimized for signal integrity and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction (A→B or B→A); referenced to VCCB, enabling clean control in B-side domain. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Active-low; places associated port outputs in high-impedance state for bus isolation; tied to VCCB via pullup for safe power-up. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side data I/O terminals | Bi-directional signals tracking VCCA; tolerate overvoltage up to VCCA + 0.5 V in driven state. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side data I/O terminals | Bi-directional signals tracking VCCB; tolerate overvoltage up to VCCB + 0.5 V in driven state. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent power supplies | Each powers respective port's core logic and I/O; must be decoupled locally to minimize rail noise coupling. |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple GND balls provide low-inductance return paths; required for stable operation and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable dual-rail operation | Enables seamless 1.4–3.6 V bidirectional translation per port without external components or performance loss. |
| DOC™ dynamic output control | Reduces switching noise by 30–50% vs. fixed-drive buffers through adaptive impedance modulation during edges. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Guarantees high-impedance isolation and sub-10 µA leakage when either supply rail is inactive - critical for hot-swap systems. |
| Voltage-tolerant I/O | Accepts inputs up to 4.6 V regardless of VCCA/VCCB setting - simplifies interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals via clamping diodes. |
| Control-input referencing to VCCB | Ensures reliable DIR/OE sampling even when VCCA is powered down first, eliminating timing uncertainty during sequencing. |
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 | 48-pin VQFN; single VCC supply (1.2–3.6 V); no independent VCCA/VCCB rails. | Lacks true dual-rail flexibility; requires shared supply or external regulators for asymmetric translation. | Select when board space is constrained and voltage domains are closely matched (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 2.5 V only). |
| TXB0108PWR | 8-bit, auto-direction sensing; 1.2–3.6 V I/O; no DIR/OE pins; higher quiescent current (20 µA typical). | Not pin-compatible; unsuitable for synchronous, direction-controlled buses like parallel memory interfaces. | Prefer for simple GPIO expansion where direction is data-driven and timing margins are relaxed. |
Compared with SN74AVC16T245RJR and TXB0108PWR, the 74AVCB164245ZQLR uniquely supports independent, user-controlled dual-rail operation with guaranteed sub-6 ns propagation delay and Ioff protection - making it the only choice for high-speed, mixed-voltage, direction-critical bus architectures requiring zero-layout change across voltage combinations.

FAQ
What voltage combinations does the 74AVCB164245ZQLR support between its A and B ports?
The 74AVCB164245ZQLR supports any combination of 1.4 V to 3.6 V on VCCA and VCCB independently - including 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 1.5 V ↔ 2.5 V, and 2.5 V ↔ 3.3 V translations. Each port's I/O thresholds track its respective supply, ensuring correct logic interpretation without external biasing. This capability is explicitly validated in TI's SCES394D datasheet Section 4 (Recommended Operating Conditions).
How does the DOC™ circuitry in the 74AVCB164245ZQLR reduce noise compared to standard bus transceivers?
The DOC™ circuitry in the 74AVCB164245ZQLR dynamically lowers output impedance at signal transition onset to drive capacitive loads quickly, then raises it mid-transition to damp ringing - reducing overshoot/undershoot by up to 50% versus fixed-drive devices. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 1 (VOH/VOL vs. IOH/IOL curves) and described in TI application report SCEA009, which cites measured noise reduction in 50 Ω transmission line tests.
Can the 74AVCB164245ZQLR be used when only one supply rail (e.g., VCCA) is powered?
Yes - the 74AVCB164245ZQLR enters high-impedance state on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, thanks to integrated Ioff circuitry. Measured Ioff leakage is <±10 µA per port under this condition (Electrical Characteristics Table, page 5), preventing back-current damage during partial power-down - a key requirement for hot-plug systems.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the 74AVCB164245ZQLR in a 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V translation setup?
In a 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V configuration (VCCA = 3.3 V, VCCB = 1.8 V), the 74AVCB164245ZQLR achieves a minimum propagation delay (tpd) of 1.6 ns and maximum of 4.3 ns (Switching Characteristics, page 6). This supports reliable operation up to ~230 MHz (1/4.3 ns), assuming proper PCB layout, termination, and load capacitance ≤30 pF per line as specified in Figure 2.
Is the 74AVCB164245ZQLR pin-compatible with other members of the AVCB family, such as the 74AVCB164245GRDR?
No - the 74AVCB164245ZQLR uses a 56-ball VFBGA (ZQL) package, while 74AVCB164245GRDR uses a 54-ball FBGA (GRD/ZRD). Ball counts, pitch (0.5 mm vs. 0.65 mm), and pinouts differ significantly; see Terminal Assignments (pages 2–3) for ZQL vs. GRD mapping. Migration requires PCB redesign and layout validation.
