Product details
Overview
74LVCHR162245APAG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 3.3V CMOS 16-bit bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, 5V-tolerant I/O, bus-hold, and ±12mA balanced drivers. It operates across –40°C to +85°C, supports mixed 3.3V/5V systems, and enables bidirectional data flow between two buses via DIR/OE controls.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 datasheet, 74LVCHR162245APAG8 pinout, 74LVCHR162245APAG8 application, or 74LVCHR162245APAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature operation, 5V I/O tolerance, bus-hold functionality, output skew <500ps, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit asynchronous bus translation using hysteresis-enhanced inputs and series-resistor–equipped outputs to suppress switching noise. Its DIR and OE pins provide independent control of direction and 3-state enable per bank.
The 74LVCHR162245APAG8 integrates bus-hold circuitry on all I/O pins (excluding control pins), eliminating external pull resistors, and features ESD protection >2000V (MIL-STD-883) and >200V (machine model). It supports hot insertion and operates over VCC = 2.7V–3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - ensures interoperability in mixed-voltage industrial systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| IOH/IOL Drive | ±12mA at VCC = 3V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and light-capacitance buses directly |
| tSK(o) | <500ps - guarantees tight timing alignment across outputs for high-speed parallel bus integrity |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5V tolerant - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5V logic while powered from 3.3V supply |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75μA typical - actively retains last valid logic state on floating inputs, removing need for external biasing |
| Static ICC | 10μA max - enables ultra-low quiescent power in always-on industrial control subsystems |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5ns to 4.8ns - supports >200MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded configurations |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (PAG suffix), 0.5mm pitch, 12.5mm × 6.1mm body size, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input (Active HIGH) | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit bank: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input (Active LOW) | Disables both A and B ports to high-impedance when asserted; overrides DIR |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Side-A I/O with Bus-Hold | 8-bit port A; all pins support 5V tolerance and retain last state when floating |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Side-B I/O with Bus-Hold | 8-bit port B; identical electrical behavior to Side-A; enables bidirectional bridging |
| VCC (Pins 4, 21, 25, 40) | Power Supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide TSSOP body |
| GND (Pins 3, 20, 24, 39) | Ground Reference | Four GND pins ensure low-inductance return paths and stable reference for 16-bit switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/O | Enables direct connection to 5V peripherals without external voltage translators in mixed-supply systems |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates 16 external pull-up/down resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| ±12mA balanced drivers | Provides symmetrical rise/fall times and reduced ground bounce versus unbalanced drivers |
| Low output skew (<500ps) | Maintains setup/hold timing margins across all 16 bits in high-speed parallel interfaces |
| Hot-insertion support | Allows safe live replacement in backplane or modular industrial systems without power cycling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC162245ADGGR | No bus-hold; lower ESD rating (1500V HBM); same TSSOP-48 footprint and pinout | Lacks input state retention - requires external pull resistors in floating-input scenarios | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for bus-hold and higher ESD robustness |
| 74ALVC162245PW,118 | Wider VCC range (1.65V–3.6V); no 5V tolerance; smaller 48-pin TSSOP (6.1mm × 12.5mm same) | Not suitable for 5V system interfacing; limited to 3.3V-only environments | Selected when operating exclusively at 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V and requiring lower static current (1μA typical) |
Compared with SN74LVC162245ADGGR and 74ALVC162245PW,118, the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 uniquely combines 5V I/O tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and industrial-grade ESD protection - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and telecom infrastructure where reliability under voltage transients and floating-bus conditions is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 74LVCHR162245APAG8?
The 74LVCHR162245APAG8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is fully specified in its DC and switching characteristics tables, ensuring guaranteed performance across thermal extremes encountered in factory automation, outdoor telecom equipment, and vehicle under-hood applications. All parameters-including propagation delay, drive strength, and bus-hold current-are validated within this range.
Does the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 support hot insertion?
Yes, the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 supports hot insertion, as confirmed by its Ioff specification (±50μA max at VCC = 0V) and 5V-tolerant I/O structure. This allows safe insertion into live backplanes or modular systems without disrupting upstream power rails or causing latch-up. The device's bus-hold feature further stabilizes inputs during plug-in transients.
How does bus-hold functionality work on the 74LVCHR162245APAG8?
The 74LVCHR162245APAG8 implements bus-hold on all I/O pins (1A1–1A8, 1B1–1B8, 2A1–2A8, 2B1–2B8), retaining the last valid logic state when inputs float. It draws ±75μA typical sustain current at VCC = 3V, eliminating need for external pull resistors. This reduces component count and improves noise immunity in high-density PCB layouts.
What is the maximum output skew for the 74LVCHR162245APAG8?
The 74LVCHR162245APAG8 specifies maximum output skew tSK(o) of 500ps under VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V conditions. This value applies to any two outputs switching in the same direction within the same package and is measured at the 50% voltage threshold. It ensures timing coherence across all 16 bits in high-speed parallel data paths.
Can the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 interface between 3.3V and 5V logic systems?
Yes, the 74LVCHR162245APAG8 supports true 5V-tolerant I/O while operating from a 3.3V supply (VCC = 2.7V–3.6V). Inputs and outputs withstand up to 6.5V relative to GND, allowing direct connection to 5V devices without external level shifters. Its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC, ensuring reliable recognition of 5V logic levels.
