Product details
Overview
74LVTH16646MTD from ON Semiconductor is a low-voltage 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-STATE outputs, bushold inputs, and dual-directional data flow control via DIR pins. It operates at 2.7–3.6 V, supports 5 V-tolerant I/O, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA drive strength, and features 150 MHz maximum clock frequency in TSSOP-56 package for high-speed bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH16646MTD datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for bidirectional registered bus transfer in mixed-voltage systems requiring glitch-free power-up/down behavior, real-time or stored-mode operation, and elimination of external pull-ups on unused inputs.
Technical Context
The 74LVTH16646MTD implements two independent 8-bit register banks (A and B) with separate clock (CPAB/CPBA), select (SAB/SBA), and direction (DIR1/DIR2) controls - enabling four distinct bus management modes: real-time A↔B transfer, A-register-to-B output, B-register-to-A output, and isolated register loading. Its bushold circuitry actively maintains input logic state without external resistors.
It uses advanced BiCMOS technology to achieve ABT-class speed (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.9 ns) while maintaining LVT-level power efficiency (ICCZ = 0.19 mA in 3-STATE), and meets JEDEC JED78 latch-up immunity and >2000 V HBM ESD rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures compatibility with 3.3 V system rails while tolerating supply variation. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows direct interface to legacy 5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | −32 mA / +64 mA - Supports heavy capacitive loads and fan-out to multiple TTL inputs. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - Enables high-throughput synchronous bus multiplexing in real-time mode. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–5.9 ns - Guarantees timing closure in sub-7 ns critical paths at 3.3 V. |
| Bushold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 0.8 V/2.0 V - Maintains valid logic levels on floating inputs without external bias. |
| Power-Up High-Z | Active - Prevents bus contention during power sequencing in hot-plug applications. |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH16646MTD is housed in a 56-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 6.1 mm wide, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Data Register A I/O | Bidirectional port: inputs load A register on CPAB↑; outputs reflect A register or real-time A bus when enabled. |
| B0–B15 | Data Register B I/O | Bidirectional port: inputs load B register on CPBA↑; outputs reflect B register or real-time B bus when enabled. |
| CPAB, CPBA | Register Clock Inputs | Edge-triggered clocks: LOW-to-HIGH transition latches data into A or B register respectively. |
| SAB, SBA | Register Select Inputs | Control whether output reflects register content (SAB=LOW enables A→B) or real-time bus (SAB=HIGH enables A↔B transparent mode). |
| DIR1, DIR2 | Direction Control | Determines bus direction: DIR=HIGH enables A→B; DIR=LOW enables B→A. |
| OE1, OE2 | Output Enable | Active-low enables 3-STATE outputs; HIGH forces high-impedance regardless of DIR or clock state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bushold inputs | Eliminates need for 10–100 kΩ external pull-up resistors on all 32 data pins, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Registered + transparent modes | Supports both synchronous (clocked register) and asynchronous (real-time pass-through) data routing within same device. |
| Independent byte control | Two sets of DIR/OE/SAB/SBA allow 8-bit segments to operate in different modes simultaneously (e.g., A0–7 stored, A8–15 transparent). |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | Outputs remain in high-impedance during VCC ramp-up/down, preventing bus conflicts in hot-swap or multi-rail systems. |
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Enables direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, or legacy peripherals without voltage translation circuitry. |
Applications
| PCI Bus Interface | Memory Expansion Subsystem |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH16646DGGR | TSSOP-56 package, identical bushold, 3.3 V VCC, same pinout per TI datasheet. | No functional deviation; validated for same 16-bit registered bus roles in TI reference designs. | Select when sourcing from Texas Instruments' distribution channels or requiring TI-specific qualification documentation. |
| 74ALVCH16646PAG | 64-pin TQFP, no bushold, higher ICCZ (0.5 mA), 2.3–3.6 V VCC range. | Lacks bushold - requires external pull-ups; wider VCC range suits ultra-low-power systems but increases layout complexity. | Prefer only if TQFP footprint is mandatory and bushold is not required; verify pull-up resistor placement and power budget impact. |
Compared with SN74LVTH16646DGGR, the 74LVTH16646MTD offers identical functionality and pinout but differs in manufacturer qualification and traceability; versus 74ALVCH16646PAG, it trades package size and bushold capability for lower static current and simplified layout - making it optimal for space-constrained, mixed-voltage PCBs where input termination must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the function of the bushold feature in the 74LVTH16646MTD?
The bushold feature in the 74LVTH16646MTD actively holds unused or floating data inputs (A0–A15 and B0–B15) at their last-valid logic state using internal feedback circuitry, eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. This reduces bill-of-materials cost, saves PCB area, and improves noise immunity in high-density layouts - a key advantage over non-bushold variants like the 74LVT16646MTD. The 74LVTH16646MTD specifies ±75 µA minimum drive current to override bushold, ensuring reliable forced transitions when needed.
Does the 74LVTH16646MTD support live insertion and extraction?
Yes, the 74LVTH16646MTD supports live insertion and extraction due to its power-up/power-down high-impedance outputs and bushold inputs. During power ramp-up or ramp-down, all outputs remain in 3-STATE, preventing bus contention; bushold maintains defined logic levels on inputs even when VCC is absent or unstable. This behavior is explicitly verified in the datasheet under "Power Up/Down high impedance provides glitch-free bus loading" and makes the 74LVTH16646MTD suitable for hot-swap backplane and modular system applications.
What are the key timing differences between real-time and registered modes in the 74LVTH16646MTD?
In real-time (transparent) mode - activated by setting SAB/SBA to HIGH - data passes directly from A to B or B to A with typical propagation delay of 1.0–4.7 ns. In registered mode - activated by LOW SAB/SBA - data is latched on the rising edge of CPAB/CPBA and appears at outputs after an additional 1.0–5.9 ns register-to-output delay. The 74LVTH16646MTD allows mixing both modes per byte group, enabling simultaneous streaming and sampled data paths without external logic. These delays are guaranteed across −40°C to +85°C at 3.3 V.
Can the 74LVTH16646MTD interface directly with 5 V logic devices?
Yes, the 74LVTH16646MTD supports direct 5 V interface: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and its outputs drive 5 V TTL loads with ±32 mA/±64 mA current capability. When powered at 3.3 V, it meets VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V under 24 mA load - satisfying standard TTL input thresholds. This eliminates level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems, and the 74LVTH16646MTD has been validated in reference designs connecting 3.3 V FPGAs to 5 V peripheral buses.
How does the 74LVTH16646MTD handle simultaneous read/write operations across A and B ports?
The 74LVTH16646MTD does not allow simultaneous driving of both A and B ports - only one direction is enabled at a time via DIR1/DIR2, and OE1/OE2 independently disable outputs. However, it supports concurrent register loading and output driving: for example, while DIR1=HIGH enables A→B real-time transfer, CPAB↑ can simultaneously load new data into the A register for next-cycle use. This pipelined operation enables efficient burst transfers in protocols like PCI or memory-mapped I/O, and the 74LVTH16646MTD's separate SAB/SBA controls let designers stage data in registers ahead of directional switching.
