Product details
Overview
74LVT16245BBX,518 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V, 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver with dual 3-state control and bus-hold inputs. It functions as two independent 8-bit transceivers or one unified 16-bit interface, supports 2.7–3.6 V supply, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, and delivers ±64 mA output drive. It is used in high-speed backplane and motherboard data bus isolation between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V logic interfacing to 5 V legacy peripherals).
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT16245BBX,518 datasheet, 74LVT16245BBX,518 pinout, 74LVT16245BBX,518 application, or 74LVT16245BBX,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-direction control (1DIR/2DIR), independent output enables (1OE/2OE), bus-hold functionality eliminating pull-ups, 3.3 V core compatibility with 5 V-tolerant I/O, and TSSOP48 packaging for dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS transceiver implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths, each with dedicated direction (nDIR) and output enable (nOE) signals. Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last-valid logic state on unused inputs without external resistors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
It features IOFF partial power-down protection, live insertion/extraction support, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V-enabling safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic and 5 V buses without level shifters. Propagation delays are under 3.3 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V), supporting >200 MHz bus operation in typical configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade voltage variation and low-power system rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5 V TTL systems without external level translation. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - Sinks sufficient current to drive heavy capacitive loads or multiple CMOS inputs on shared buses. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–3.3 ns - Enables sub-5 ns round-trip timing for high-speed synchronous bus protocols (e.g., PCI-X stubs, memory buffers). |
| Bus Hold Current | ±75–135 μA - Maintains defined logic states on floating data lines, preventing metastability and EMI from unterminated traces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments including base station control cards and programmable logic carrier boards. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Robust handling during board assembly and field service without additional protection components. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP48 (SOT362-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 48 leads, 6.1 mm body width, 0.5 mm pitch - optimized for automated placement and thermal performance in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH signal selecting data flow direction per 8-bit port (A→B or B→A); enables independent bidirectional control. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW signal placing corresponding 8-bit outputs into high-impedance state; allows dynamic bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Data port A terminals | Primary bidirectional I/O pins for first and second 8-bit data channels; internally connected to bus-hold circuitry. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Data port B terminals | Secondary bidirectional I/O pins mirroring port A; full 16-bit transceiver formed when both ports operate synchronously. |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide TSSOP body. |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for signal integrity at >100 MHz switching rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 8-bit control | Separate DIR/OE per port enables asymmetric bus arbitration-e.g., Port 1 reads while Port 2 writes-without external logic. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for 32 external pull-up/pull-down resistors on data lines, reducing component count and board area in modular backplane designs. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging current backflow when VCC = 0 V but I/O pins remain biased (e.g., during hot-plug card insertion), meeting IEC 61000-4-2 system-level robustness. |
| 5.5 V tolerant inputs | Directly interfaces legacy 5 V peripherals (e.g., EEPROMs, UARTs) without level translators-reducing latency and BOM cost in mixed-voltage embedded controllers. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed no bus contention or latch-up during hot-swap of daughterboards in telecom shelf management systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA), 1.65–3.6 V supply, no bus-hold | Requires external pull-ups; unsuitable for hot-swap or unterminated buses | Select only if system uses fully terminated buses and operates below 3.3 V nominal supply. |
| 74ALVCH16245PAG | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.4 ns), 2.3–3.6 V, no 5 V tolerance | Cannot interface directly to 5 V peripherals without level shifters | Choose when maximum speed is critical and all connected devices are 3.3 V native. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74ALVCH16245PAG, the 74LVT16245BBX,518 uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, bus-hold, and ±64 mA drive-making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage hot-swap backplanes without supplemental components.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LVT16245BBX,518?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system timing margins. With tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.3 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V), it supports reliable bidirectional transfers up to ~200 MHz in well-terminated, low-skew layouts-verified via functional testing per JEDEC JESD8C.
Can the 74LVT16245BBX,518 be used with a 2.5 V supply?
No. The recommended operating supply range is strictly 2.7 V to 3.6 V per Table 5. At 2.5 V, VIH minimum (2.0 V) and VOL maximum (0.55 V) specifications cannot be simultaneously guaranteed, risking logic misreads and increased static power due to marginal transistor biasing.
Does the bus-hold feature work when VCC = 0 V?
No. Bus-hold circuitry requires VCC to be powered and within specification (2.7–3.6 V) to maintain input state. When VCC = 0 V, inputs float and IOFF protection activates-but no active hold is present. This behavior is confirmed in Section 9's IBHL/IBHH test conditions (VCC = 3 V).
How many ground pins does the TSSOP48 package have, and why so many?
The TSSOP48 package has eight GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45). This distribution minimizes ground loop inductance and provides low-impedance return paths for high-frequency switching currents from 32 I/O pins-critical for maintaining signal integrity and meeting EMI limits in dense, high-speed PCBs.
