Product details
Overview
74LVTH16245BDL,118 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V, 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver with dual 3-state control and bus-hold inputs. It operates across 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and supports -40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation. Used in high-speed data bus isolation between 3.3 V logic domains and legacy 5 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH16245BDL,118 datasheet, 74LVTH16245BDL,118 pinout, 74LVTH16245BDL,118 application, or 74LVTH16245BDL,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-directional 8-bit partitioning, overvoltage-tolerant I/O, bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull-ups, and TSSOP48 packaging for dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS transceiver implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths, each controlled by dedicated DIR (direction) and OE (output enable, active LOW) signals. Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last-valid logic state on unused inputs without external resistors.
It features IOFF protection enabling partial power-down mode when VCC = 0 V, and supports live insertion/extraction. Input transition rates are specified up to 10 ns/V, and propagation delays are guaranteed ≤3.3 ns at 3.0–3.6 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures compatibility with 3.3 V LVT/LVTH logic families and tolerance to rail variation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interfacing with 5 V TTL systems without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / -32 mA source - Sustains robust signal integrity driving heavy capacitive loads or multiple inputs. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤3.3 ns (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - Supports >100 MHz bus operation in synchronous systems. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA to ±135 μA - Actively retains input state during floating conditions, removing need for external pull-up/down resistors. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements per JS-001/JS-002. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for extended industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP48 (SOT362-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 48 leads, 6.1 mm body width, 0.5 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height - optimized for high-density routing and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR (Pins 1, 24) | Direction control input | Active HIGH selects A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A - enables independent bidirectional control per 8-bit port. |
| 1OE, 2OE (Pins 48, 25) | Output enable input (active LOW) | Asserting LOW enables corresponding 8-bit output bank; HIGH forces high-impedance - allows dynamic bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |
| 1A0–1A7 (Pins 47, 46, 44, 43, 41, 40, 38, 37) | Data I/O port A (side 1) | Bidirectional interface for first 8-bit bus segment - internally connected to bus-hold circuitry. |
| 1B0–1B7 (Pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12) | Data I/O port B (side 1) | Complementary 8-bit I/O path to 1A - direction determined by 1DIR; enabled by 1OE. |
| 2A0–2A7 (Pins 36, 35, 33, 32, 30, 29, 27, 26) | Data I/O port A (side 2) | Second independent 8-bit bidirectional port - electrically isolated from side 1 for dual-bus applications. |
| 2B0–2B7 (Pins 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23) | Data I/O port B (side 2) | Paired with 2A for second transceiver channel - supports full 16-bit or split 8+8 configuration. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated 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 high switching speeds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 8-bit transceivers | Enables flexible bus architecture: single 16-bit path or two isolated 8-bit channels with separate DIR/OE control. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs (to 5.5 V) | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with 5 V peripherals or legacy backplanes. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Maintains valid logic state on unconnected or unterminated inputs - removes 16 external pull-up resistors and associated board area. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging current backflow when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug and power sequencing in modular systems. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed safe operation during board insertion into powered backplanes - reduces system downtime during maintenance. |

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), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V supply - lacks overvoltage tolerance. | Suitable only for pure 3.3 V systems; requires external pull-ups and level shifters for 5 V interfacing. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs interface flexibility and board space constraints. |
| 74ALVC16245PW,118 | Same TSSOP48 package, ±24 mA drive, no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V - lacks 5.5 V input tolerance and IOFF. | Requires external termination and cannot safely interface to 5 V buses or support hot-swap. | Choose only for legacy designs already using ALVC family and operating exclusively within 3.3 V domain. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74ALVC16245PW,118, the 74LVTH16245BDL,118 provides superior interface robustness via 5.5 V-tolerant I/O, integrated bus-hold, and IOFF - reducing component count and improving system resilience in mixed-voltage industrial and test equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by the 74LVTH16245BDL,118?
The device guarantees propagation delay ≤3.3 ns at 3.0–3.6 V supply, supporting reliable operation up to 125 MHz for synchronous bus protocols. Real-world achievable rate depends on load capacitance and PCB layout; with ≤50 pF total load, clean 100 MHz DDR signaling is demonstrated in reference designs.
Can the 74LVTH16245BDL,118 be used with a 2.5 V supply?
No - the recommended minimum supply is 2.7 V per Table 5. At 2.5 V, VOH and VOL specifications fall outside guaranteed limits, and bus-hold functionality degrades. Operation below 2.7 V risks unreliable logic thresholds and increased static current leakage.
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). When VCC = 0 V, IOFF protection activates but bus-hold is inactive; inputs float unless externally biased. This behavior is confirmed in Section 9's IOFF and IBHL test conditions.
Are the 1OE and 2OE pins internally pulled up or down?
Neither - 1OE and 2OE have no internal pull resistors and must be actively driven. The datasheet Function Table (Table 3) specifies "X = don't care" only when outputs are disabled; for predictable startup behavior, external pull-downs to GND are recommended to ensure outputs remain high-impedance until firmware initializes control lines.
