Product details
Overview
74LVTH16245ADLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 3.3-V and 5-V systems. It features bus-hold circuitry, Ioff support for hot insertion, distributed VCC/GND pins, and operates down to 2.7 V supply. Used in mixed-voltage backplane interfaces and memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 datasheet, 74LVTH16245ADLG4 pinout, 74LVTH16245ADLG4 application, or 74LVTH16245ADLG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3-V operation with 5-V tolerant I/O, dual-directional 16-bit flow-through architecture, bus-hold inputs eliminating external resistors, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The 74LVTH16245ADLG4 implements Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) for low static power and high-speed switching at 3.3 V. Its dual-octal structure supports independent direction control per 8-bit port via DIR inputs and individual output-enable (OE) signals for A- and B-port isolation.
Logic-level translation is achieved through TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and 5-V-tolerant I/Os, enabling seamless interfacing between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V buses without level shifters. Power-up 3-state and Ioff circuitry ensure safe hot-plug operation by disabling outputs during power ramping or when VCC = 0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation and ensures stable function across wide input variation |
| IOL / IOH Drive Strength | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.3 ns to 3.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - enables high-speed bus communication up to ~200 MHz effective throughput |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V systems without external level-shifting components |
| Bus-Hold Current (II(hold)) | ±75 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - actively maintains valid logic state on unused inputs, removing need for pullup/pulldown resistors |
| Power-Up 3-State Threshold | Active below 1.5 V VCC - prevents output contention during power sequencing and ensures safe initialization |
| Ioff Leakage | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - blocks damaging backflow current when device is powered down in live systems |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH16245ADLG4 is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, body dimensions 12.6 mm × 7.9 mm × 1.75 mm max height, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit port: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Disables corresponding port outputs into high-impedance state when high |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (x2) | Bidirectional data I/O terminals | Each group of eight supports simultaneous 16-bit parallel transfer with bus-hold on all inputs |
| VCC, GND (x8 total) | Distributed power/ground | Minimizes switching noise and improves signal integrity via localized decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.3-V ABT process technology | Enables low static power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible speed and drive strength |
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Supports 5-V input/output voltage levels with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates external level translators in hybrid-voltage systems |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides - simplifies PCB routing and reduces trace crosstalk |
| Hot-insertion support | Combines Ioff and power-up 3-state to prevent damage during live board insertion or removal |
| Bus-hold on all data inputs | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors - reduces BOM count and layout area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH16245ADGVRG4 | TVSOP-48 package (5.1 mm × 4.5 mm), thinner profile (1.2 mm max), same electrical specs and pinout | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where height and footprint are critical | Select when board real estate or Z-height is constrained; requires updated land pattern and stencil design |
| 74LVT16245ADL | LVT family - lower drive (32 mA), no bus-hold, no Ioff, 3.3-V only I/O (not 5-V tolerant) | Applicable only in pure 3.3-V systems without hot-swap or floating-input concerns | Choose only if cost is primary and system lacks 5-V interfaces or hot-plug requirements |
Compared with SN74LVTH16245ADGVRG4, the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 offers identical functionality in a more robust SSOP package with higher thermal mass and easier manual handling; versus 74LVT16245ADL, it adds critical 5-V tolerance, bus-hold, and Ioff - essential for interoperability and reliability in mixed-voltage industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LVTH16245ADLG4?
The 74LVTH16245ADLG4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade temperature range is confirmed in TI's official ordering information and applies specifically to the DL-package variants including 74LVTH16245ADLG4. Operation outside this range may result in parametric degradation or functional failure.
Does the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing backflow current, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC exceeds 1.5 V. These functions are inherent to the ABT process and verified in TI's Electrical Characteristics table under IOZPU/IOZPD and Ioff parameters.
Can the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 interface directly with 5-V logic without external level shifters?
Yes, the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V and tolerates 5-V signals on both A and B ports while operating at VCC = 3.3 V. This 5-V-tolerant I/O capability is explicitly specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and enables direct connection to 5-V TTL buses without external components.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold feature on the 74LVTH16245ADLG4, and how does it affect design?
The bus-hold feature on the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 actively maintains unused or undriven inputs at their last-valid logic state using ±75 µA dynamic hold current. This eliminates the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors, reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and potential signal integrity issues caused by resistor parasitics.
Is the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the LVTH16245A family?
Yes, the 74LVTH16245ADLG4 (SSOP-48) shares identical pinout and signal mapping with SN74LVTH16245ADGGR (TSSOP-48) and SN74LVTH16245ADGVR (TVSOP-48), as confirmed by TI's terminal assignment diagrams and package drawings. Mechanical dimensions differ, but electrical and logical pin functions are fully interchangeable.
