Product details
Overview
74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65–3.6-V buses. It features 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, 26-Ω integrated series output resistors, Ioff support for live insertion, and max propagation delay of 4.8 ns at 3.3 V. Used in server backplanes and mixed-voltage telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 datasheet, 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 pinout, 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 application, or 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (5.5-V input tolerance with 3.3-V VCC), bus-hold circuitry for undriven inputs, tpd ≤4.8 ns at 3.3 V, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down operation, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins. Direction control is level-sensitive: DIR = L enables B→A data flow; DIR = H enables A→B flow; OE = H forces both ports into high-impedance isolation.
All 32 I/O pins (16 A-side, 16 B-side) feature integrated 26-Ω series resistors to damp edge rates and suppress switching noise on long traces or cables. Input circuitry remains active regardless of OE state, requiring all unused inputs to be tied to VCC or GND to prevent excess ICC and undefined logic states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-voltage logic domains including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V systems. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Supports mixed-mode signal interfacing: 5-V peripherals driving 3.3-V buses without external level shifters. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.8 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Ensures timing compliance in high-speed parallel bus applications up to ~200 MHz effective data rate. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate capacitive stubs without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VI/VO = 5.5 V, VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | Active on all A/B inputs - Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on unused or intermittently driven data lines. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level integration. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.50 mm × 6.1 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Level-sensitive control: Low = B-port drives A-port; High = A-port drives B-port. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Active-low: Low = transceiver enabled; High = both A and B ports enter high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side bidirectional I/O | Data interface for first/second 8-bit bus segment; internally terminated with 26-Ω series resistor. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side bidirectional I/O | Data interface for complementary 8-bit bus segment; same termination and voltage tolerance as A-side. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus layout. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all I/Os and support clean signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Enables direct connection of legacy 5-V logic to 3.3-V or lower VCC systems without external translators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | No 5.5-V input tolerance; max VI = VCC + 0.3 V; lacks integrated 26-Ω resistors. | Suitable only for same-rail 3.3-V systems; requires external termination and level-shifting for 5-V interfaces. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and board space is available for discrete resistors. |
| 74ALVC16245PW | Higher drive (±24 mA); faster tpd (3.3 ns @ 3.3 V); no Ioff or bus-hold; 3.6-V max VCC. | Better for speed-critical, single-rail 3.3-V designs; unsuitable for hot-swap or undriven bus scenarios. | Choose for maximum throughput in compact FPGA-to-FPGA interconnects where power sequencing is tightly controlled. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74ALVC16245PW, the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated termination, Ioff, and bus-hold-making it the only option for robust, space-constrained mixed-voltage backplane designs requiring zero external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4?
The 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as confirmed in TI's official orderable addendum and Recommended Operating Conditions table. This industrial-grade range supports deployment in server chassis, telecom cabinets, and embedded control environments where thermal management is constrained. The device maintains full electrical performance-including tpd ≤4.8 ns and Ioff ≤±10 µA-across this entire range.
Does the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins?
No, the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 does not require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins for functional operation, as these are standard CMOS inputs with rail-to-rail voltage thresholds. However, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up/power-down to guarantee high-impedance state; minimum value depends on driver sink capability. DIR may float only if actively driven-unused DIR pins must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent excess ICC, per Section 7.3 of the datasheet.
Can the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 be used for unidirectional data transfer?
Yes, the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 supports unidirectional operation: configure one DIR pin permanently high (A→B) or low (B→A) and use the corresponding OE to enable/disable that direction. Its dual-octal architecture allows independent control-e.g., 8-bit A→B + 8-bit B→A simultaneously-or consolidated 16-bit flow. All 32 I/Os remain 5.5-V tolerant and retain bus-hold functionality regardless of direction mode.
What is the purpose of the 26-Ω series resistors on each I/O pin of the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4?
The 26-Ω series resistors on every A- and B-side I/O pin of the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 damp signal edge rates to reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN), overshoot, and crosstalk on long PCB traces or cables. They eliminate the need for discrete 22–33-Ω source termination resistors, saving board space and BOM cost. Measured VOLP <0.8 V and VOHV >2 V at 3.3 V confirm effective noise suppression without compromising rise/fall time specs (Δt/Δv = 10 ns/V).
Is the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 pin-compatible with older SN74LVTH16245A devices?
No, the 74LVCR16245ADGGRG4 is not pin-compatible with SN74LVTH16245A. While both are 48-pin TSSOP transceivers, pin assignments differ significantly-e.g., VCC and GND locations, DIR/OE placement, and I/O grouping-due to distinct internal architectures and noise-reduction design priorities. Migration requires PCB layout revision. Functional equivalence exists only at the logical level (dual-octal bidirectional transceiver), not mechanical or electrical pinout.
