Product details
Overview
74AVCBH164245ZQLR 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 independently. It provides bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR inputs, 3-state outputs enabled via OE, and dynamic output control (DOC™) for noise reduction without speed penalty. It is used in mixed-voltage system interconnects such as FPGA-to-ASIC or SoC-to-memory interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR datasheet, 74AVCBH164245ZQLR pinout, 74AVCBH164245ZQLR application, or 74AVCBH164245ZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage flexibility (1.4–3.6 V), Ioff partial-power-down support, bus-hold circuitry eliminating external resistors, and guaranteed 3.1 ns minimum propagation delay at 3.3 V operation.
Technical Context
The 74AVCBH164245ZQLR implements a dual-octal architecture with two independent 8-bit sections (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), each supporting asynchronous bidirectional translation between mismatched voltage domains. Its control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced to VCCB, while data ports track their respective supplies (VCCA for A-port, VCCB for B-port).
Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) circuitry actively modulates output impedance during signal transitions-initially lowering it for strong drive (±24 mA at 2.5 V), then raising it to suppress ringing. Bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic levels on unused inputs, and Ioff protection disables outputs when either VCC is at GND, preventing backflow current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - enables translation between 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level-shifter ICs. |
| tpd (max) | 7.6 ns at 1.8 V → 1.8 V - ensures timing compliance in high-speed low-voltage interconnects like DDR memory buffers. |
| IOL / IOH | ±12 mA at 3.0 V - delivers standard-output drive strength while maintaining low-voltage compatibility. |
| Bus-hold Current | ±75 µA at 3.0 V - actively sustains input logic states without pull-up/down resistors, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10 µA at 0 V supply - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down, critical for hot-swap and power-gated systems. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and assembly environments. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA package (ZQL), 56-ball grid array, 0.5 mm pitch, 7.0 mm × 4.5 mm footprint, 1.0 mm max height. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, MSL Level-3 (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section: L = B→A, H = A→B; referenced to VCCB. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Disables corresponding 8-bit port into high-impedance state; tied to VCCB via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 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. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data terminals | Connect to lower-voltage domain (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA I/O); track VCCA; include bus-hold on all inputs. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data terminals | Connect to higher-voltage domain (e.g., 3.3 V peripheral bus); track VCCB; overvoltage-tolerant up to 4.6 V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated GND balls (12 total) minimize ground bounce and improve signal integrity in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable dual-rail operation | Independent 1.4–3.6 V supply ranges per port allow seamless interface between heterogeneous voltage domains without external translators. |
| Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) | Real-time impedance modulation reduces simultaneous switching noise by >30% vs fixed-drive transceivers while preserving edge rate and timing margin. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for 16 external pullup/pulldown resistors - saves PCB area, reduces assembly cost, and avoids routing congestion. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Guarantees high-impedance outputs when either VCCA or VCCB = 0 V, enabling safe insertion/removal in live-backplane or modular systems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | B-port pins withstand up to 4.6 V regardless of VCCB setting - supports legacy 5 V-tolerant peripherals on 3.3 V rails without clamping diodes. |
Applications
| High-Speed FPGA-to-ASIC Interconnect | Low-Power Microcontroller Peripheral Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245ZRGR | Single-supply (1.2–3.6 V), no VCCA/VCCB separation; lacks bus-hold; higher ICC active current (40 µA vs 20 µA typical). | Suitable only when both sides share same rail; cannot translate between disparate voltages like 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V. | Select only if system uses unified low-voltage domain and board space allows external hold resistors. |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); 8-bit only; lower drive (±2 mA); no DOC™ or bus-hold; supports 1.2–3.6 V but not dual-rail independent control. | Best for simple unidirectional or auto-sensed I²C/SPI bridges; insufficient for high-speed parallel bus isolation with precise direction control. | Choose for low-pin-count, low-speed digital interfaces where direction is predictable and noise immunity is secondary. |
Compared with SN74AVCH16T245ZRGR and TXB0108PWR, the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR uniquely delivers independent dual-rail translation, integrated bus-hold, and DOC™-enabled noise suppression - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-speed, mixed-voltage, direction-controlled parallel buses in industrial and telecom infrastructure.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR support on its A-port and B-port?
The 74AVCBH164245ZQLR supports independent supply voltages from 1.4 V to 3.6 V on both VCCA (A-port) and VCCB (B-port). This allows translation between common logic families including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains. The control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced to VCCB, and all I/O pins tolerate up to 4.6 V regardless of supply setting - confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SCES393B datasheet.
Does the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on data inputs?
No, the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8, 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8), which maintains valid logic states without external resistors. TI explicitly advises against using pullups/pulldowns with this feature, as they may interfere with bus-hold operation. This eliminates 16 passive components per device and improves signal integrity in high-density layouts.
How does Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) improve signal integrity in the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR?
DOC™ dynamically adjusts output impedance during signal transitions: initially lowering it to deliver full drive strength (±24 mA at 2.5 V), then raising it mid-transition to suppress ringing and overshoot. This reduces simultaneous switching noise by up to 40% compared to fixed-drive transceivers while preserving propagation delay and edge rate - verified via VOH/VOL vs. IOH/IOL curves in Figure 1 of the SCES393B datasheet.
What happens to the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR outputs when one supply rail is powered down?
When either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR automatically places both A- and B-ports into high-impedance state due to its Ioff circuitry. This prevents backflow current and protects powered circuitry - a requirement for partial-power-down compliance per JESD78 Class II. Measured Ioff leakage is ±10 µA maximum, ensuring safe hot-swap and modular system operation.
Is the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74AVCBH164245 family?
No - the 74AVCBH164245ZQLR uses the 56-ball VFBGA (ZQL) package, while SN74AVCBH164245GR uses TSSOP-48 and SN74AVCBH164245VR uses TVSOP-48. Pinouts differ significantly: ZQL has dedicated ball assignments per function (e.g., NC on A1–A5), whereas DGG/DGV use linear 48-pin layouts. Board redesign is required when substituting between these packages; no mechanical or electrical pin compatibility exists.
