Product details
Overview
74LVT16646ADGG,118 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V, 16-bit non-inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs in both directions, featuring dual clock (CPAB/CPBA), direction (DIR), and select (SAB/SBA) controls for bidirectional data routing between two 16-bit buses. It supports 5 V-tolerant I/O, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and operates from −40 °C to +85 °C in TSSOP56 packaging - used in high-speed backplane and memory interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 datasheet, 74LVT16646ADGG,118 pinout, 74LVT16646ADGG,118 application, or 74LVT16646ADGG,118 equivalent, this page provides verified functional architecture, real-time vs. stored data transfer timing, bus-hold input behavior, 3-state enable/disable delays, and precise voltage-level compatibility with mixed 3.3 V/5 V system interconnects.
Technical Context
The 74LVT16646ADGG,118 implements dual 8-bit register banks per side (A/B), each controlled by independent clock inputs (CPAB/CPBA) and select lines (SAB/SBA) to route either real-time or latched data. Its BiCMOS design enables TTL-compatible switching levels while operating at 3.3 V supply.
Direction control (DIR) determines data flow path (A→B or B→A), while output enable (OE) gates all 32 I/Os into high-impedance state. Bus-hold circuitry on all data pins eliminates external pull-ups, and live insertion/extraction is supported due to power-up 3-state and latch-up protection exceeding 500 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade voltage tolerance; 3.3 V nominal enables compatibility with LVT logic families. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-throughput data transfers in memory buffers and FPGA I/O expansion. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5–3.7 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF) - guarantees sub-4 ns latency for time-critical bus arbitration and synchronous handshaking. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / −32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple receivers) without signal degradation. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Input/output rated to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V systems without level-shifting components. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA to ±140 µA (VI = 0.8 V / 2.0 V) - actively maintains valid logic states on floating data lines, eliminating need for external biasing. |
| ESD Protection | MIL-STD-883 >2000 V, Machine Model >200 V - withstands handling and board-level electrostatic discharge in automated assembly environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP56 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT364-1), 56-pin, body width 6.1 mm, lead pitch 0.5 mm, maximum height 1.2 mm - optimized for high-density PCB layouts with thermal and mechanical reliability in reflow-soldered applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 28DIR | Direction control inputs (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Determines data flow direction: DIR = HIGH enables A→B; DIR = LOW enables B→A - decoupled per half-bank for flexible partitioning. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable inputs (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Active-LOW control: OE = LOW enables I/O drivers; OE = HIGH forces 3-state - supports cascaded enable sequencing across multiple devices. |
| 1CPAB, 2CPAB | Clock inputs A→B (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Latches real-time data from bus A into internal registers on LOW-to-HIGH transition - enables synchronous capture aligned to system clock domain. |
| 1CPBA, 2CPBA | Clock inputs B→A (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Latches real-time data from bus B into internal registers on LOW-to-HIGH transition - supports full-duplex buffered communication. |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Select inputs A→B (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Chooses data source for A→B output: SAB = LOW passes real-time A data; SAB = HIGH selects stored A data - enables multiplexed bus sharing. |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Select inputs B→A (bits 0–7 / 8–15) | Chooses data source for B→A output: SBA = LOW passes real-time B data; SBA = HIGH selects stored B data - critical for ping-pong buffering. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Data I/O pins, bus A side (16 total) | Bidirectional interface to primary system bus - supports simultaneous read/write when paired with direction-controlled B-side I/Os. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Data I/O pins, bus B side (16 total) | Bidirectional interface to secondary bus (e.g., peripheral, memory, or FPGA side) - electrically isolated via 3-state control during inactive cycles. |
| VCC (pins 7, 22, 35) | Positive supply voltage | Three dedicated VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve noise immunity across the wide 56-pin array. |
| GND (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins distributed across package perimeter minimize ground bounce and ensure stable reference for high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit universal bus interface | Supports bidirectional data transfer between two independent 16-bit buses with configurable real-time or stored data routing per channel group. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ALVCH16646PAG | Lower ICC (20 µA typical), same 3.3 V supply, but only 125 MHz max frequency and no bus-hold inputs. | Suitable for low-power, lower-speed applications where external pull-ups are acceptable and timing margin is relaxed. | Choose when power consumption is prioritized over speed and bus-hold functionality is not required. |
| SN74LVC16646AQPWREP | Automotive-grade (−40 °C to +125 °C), identical pinout and function, but higher ICC (100 µA) and slightly longer tPLH (2.2 ns min). | Required for AEC-Q100 qualified automotive control modules where extended temperature range is mandatory. | Choose for automotive applications needing qualification; otherwise, 74LVT16646ADGG,118 offers better speed/power trade-off for industrial use. |
Compared with 74ALVCH16646PAG and SN74LVC16646AQPWREP, the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 delivers superior 150 MHz performance and integrated bus-hold, making it optimal for high-speed industrial backplanes where timing precision and layout simplicity are critical - without requiring automotive qualification or ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 74LVT16646ADGG,118?
The 74LVT16646ADGG,118 supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, as specified in Table 8 of the datasheet under dynamic characteristics. This applies to both CPAB and CPBA inputs when driving 50 pF loads with 2.5 ns rise/fall times. At 2.7 V supply, the guaranteed minimum is not specified, though typical operation remains functional below 150 MHz.
Does the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 support 5 V logic inputs while powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 features 5 V-tolerant inputs: VI is rated from 0 V to 5.5 V under recommended operating conditions (Table 6), and absolute maximum input voltage is +7.0 V (Table 5). This allows direct connection to 5 V signal sources without level-shifting circuitry, even when VCC = 3.3 V.
How does bus-hold functionality work on the 74LVT16646ADGG,118?
The 74LVT16646ADGG,118 integrates bus-hold circuitry on all 32 data I/O pins (A0–A15, B0–B15). When an input floats near 0.8 V or 2.0 V, the device supplies ±75 µA to ±140 µA (Table 7) to reinforce the last-valid logic state - preventing metastability and eliminating need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors.
What is the purpose of the SAB and SBA pins on the 74LVT16646ADGG,118?
The SAB (select A→B) and SBA (select B→A) pins determine whether real-time or stored data appears on the respective output bus. For example, when SAB = HIGH, the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 outputs previously latched A-side data onto bus B; when SAB = LOW, it passes real-time A-side data - enabling flexible multiplexing and ping-pong buffering.
Is the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 pin-compatible with other 56-pin transceivers like the 74LVC16646?
No, the 74LVT16646ADGG,118 is not pin-compatible with 74LVC16646 variants. While both are 56-pin TSSOP transceivers, pin assignments differ significantly - e.g., 74LVT16646ADGG,118 places DIR and OE on pins 1/28/29/56, whereas 74LVC16646 uses different pin mapping for control signals. Always verify pinout against the specific datasheet before PCB layout.
