Product details
Overview
74LVC16245ABQ,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state bus transceiver with dual direction (nDIR) and dual output enable (nOE) controls, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, 5 V tolerant I/O, and rated for −40 °C to +125 °C. It supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V systems in memory expansion, peripheral bridging, and data bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 datasheet, 74LVC16245ABQ,518 pinout, 74LVC16245ABQ,518 application, or 74LVC16245ABQ,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HXQFN60U thermal-enhanced package, 5 V tolerance on all I/O pins, dual independent direction/enable control, bus-isolation capability, and compatibility with JEDEC JESD8-B/JESD36 standards.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by separate nDIR and nOE inputs per side, enabling flexible cascading and asymmetric bus flow. Its CMOS design ensures low static current (≤40 μA at VCC = 3.6 V) and high-impedance OFF-state isolation even when VCC = 0 V.
The 74LVC16245ABQ,518 uses standard flow-through pin architecture optimized for signal integrity, with multiple GND/VCC terminals to minimize ground bounce and noise. It does not include bus hold circuitry-this feature is exclusive to the 74LVCH16245A variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to 1.2 V while maintaining full functionality |
| I/O voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V logic without level shifters |
| Propagation delay | 1.0 ns to 6.0 ns (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V) - enables high-speed data transfer in 100+ MHz bus systems |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - robust handling during board assembly and field operation |
| 3-state leakage | ±5 μA max (VCC = 3.6 V) - ensures minimal bus contention during disable states |
| Power dissipation capacitance | 30 pF per buffer - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in high-frequency switching |
Pinout & Package
74LVC16245ABQ,518 is housed in a 60-terminal HXQFN60U (SOT1134-1) package: 4 × 6 × 0.5 mm body, UTLP-based, thermally enhanced, leadless quad flat with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Data I/O (Port A) | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data ports; connect to local bus segment |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Data I/O (Port B) | Corresponding remote bus ports; direction determined by nDIR inputs |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control | Active-HIGH signals defining data flow: A→B (DIR=H) or B→A (DIR=L) |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable | Active-LOW enables outputs; HIGH forces all associated I/O into high-impedance state |
| VCC (4 terminals) | Supply | Distributed power connections reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity |
| GND (8 terminals) | Ground | Multiple low-inductance ground paths suppress ground bounce in fast-switching operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Enables direct interface with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS without external level translators |
| Dual independent nDIR/nOE pairs | Allows independent control of two 8-bit channels for flexible bus segmentation and cascading |
| Wide 1.2 V–3.6 V supply range | Supports battery-powered, low-power, and multi-rail system designs across process nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | TSSOP48 package (6.1 mm width); identical electrical specs; no thermal pad | Less effective thermal performance in high-density or continuous-drive applications | Select when board space permits larger footprint and thermal management is handled externally |
| 74LVCH16245ABQ,518 | Includes bus hold on all data inputs; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and voltage specs | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistors on unused inputs in floating-bus scenarios | Choose when unconnected data lines require deterministic logic levels without added passives |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74LVCH16245ABQ,518, the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts due to its HXQFN60U package, while lacking bus hold-making it optimal for controlled, fully terminated bus environments where external biasing is already implemented.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the 74LVC16245ABQ,518?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 is +6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or accelerated degradation. The device's 5 V I/O tolerance applies only to input/output pins-not the VCC rail-so applying 5 V to VCC is not permitted and will damage the 74LVC16245ABQ,518.
Does the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 include bus hold circuitry on its inputs?
No, the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 does not include bus hold circuitry. Bus hold is exclusive to the 74LVCH16245A variant. The 74LVC16245ABQ,518 requires external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused data inputs to prevent floating states. This distinction is explicitly documented in NXP's datasheet revision 09 and confirmed in the "Features and benefits" section.
Can the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 is qualified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C and meets JEDEC standards relevant to automotive electronics. While not AEC-Q100 certified as a standalone part, its temperature rating and robustness (e.g., >2000 V HBM ESD) support use in engine control modules, body controllers, and infotainment interfaces where ambient conditions fall within its specified range.
What is the thermal pad on the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 package used for?
The exposed thermal pad on the HXQFN60U package of the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 is electrically isolated and intended solely for thermal conduction to the PCB. It must be soldered to a large copper pour for effective heat dissipation. Per NXP documentation (SOT1134-1), this pad is not connected to any internal die substrate and must not be used as a supply or signal terminal.
How many independent enable and direction controls does the 74LVC16245ABQ,518 provide?
The 74LVC16245ABQ,518 provides two independent output enable (1OE, 2OE) and two independent direction (1DIR, 2DIR) inputs-one pair for each 8-bit data port. This allows simultaneous or asynchronous control of Port A (1A/1B) and Port B (2A/2B), enabling configurations such as split-bus arbitration, cascaded transceivers, or independent read/write channel gating in the 74LVC16245ABQ,518.
