Product details
Overview
74VCXH16245DTR from onsemi is a low-voltage 16-bit non-inverting transceiver with 3.6 V-tolerant I/O, designed for bidirectional data flow between 1.65–3.3 V logic domains in high-speed digital systems. It features byte-level control (two independent octal sections), active bushold inputs, and IOFF protection enabling live insertion. Used in voltage-level translation between mixed-supply ASIC/FPGA interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCXH16245DTR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3.6 V I/O tolerance across 1.65–3.3 V VCC operation, 2.5 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, ±24 mA drive strength, TSSOP-48 package compatibility, and bushold-enabled floating-input immunity.
Technical Context
The 74VCXH16245DTR implements dual independent 8-bit transceiver channels controlled by separate OE/T/R pairs, supporting simultaneous or isolated bus direction control. Its CMOS design incorporates IOFF circuitry to enforce high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V and bushold inputs that actively retain logic states without external pull resistors.
Propagation delay varies with supply voltage: 2.5 ns max at 3.0–3.6 V, 3.0 ns max at 2.3–2.7 V, and 6.0 ns max at 1.65–1.95 V. Output enable/disable times are specified up to 9.3 ns, and output-to-output skew remains ≤0.75 ns under all operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 3.6 V - enables safe connection to higher-voltage busses without level-shifting components |
| Max Propagation Delay | 2.5 ns at 3.0–3.6 V - ensures sub-nanosecond timing margins in high-frequency data paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple fanouts without signal degradation |
| Bushold Current | ±75 µA at 3.0 V - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating external pull resistors |
| IOFF Leakage | 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - guarantees true high-Z isolation during power-down or hot-swap events |
| Quiescent ICC | 20 µA - minimizes standby power in battery-sensitive or always-on embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DT suffix, Case 1201) surface-mount package with 0.5 mm pitch, 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm body, and exposed thermal pad not present. Pin 1 marked via top-side dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEN1, OEN2 | Output Enable Inputs | Active-HIGH control per byte group - disables both A and B ports to high-impedance state when HIGH |
| T/R1, T/R2 | Transmit/Receive Inputs | Active-HIGH enables A→B data flow; active-LOW enables B→A - defines real-time bidirectional direction per octal |
| A0–A15 | Side A I/O Terminals | Bi-directional data ports for first (A0–A7) and second (A8–A15) byte groups - connect to local low-voltage bus |
| B0–B15 | Side B I/O Terminals | Bi-directional data ports for first (B0–B7) and second (B8–B15) byte groups - interface to 3.3 V or mixed-voltage bus |
| VCC (Pins 41, 30, 18) | Power Supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V rail powers entire device - no separate I/O or core supplies required |
| GND (Pins 45, 39, 34, 21) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve noise immunity in high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.6 V tolerant I/O | Allows direct interfacing to 3.3 V busses while operating from 1.8 V or 2.5 V supply - eliminates external level shifters |
| Active bushold inputs | Retains last-valid logic state on unused or floating inputs - removes need for 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistors and saves board space |
| IOFF power-off protection | Maintains high-impedance outputs even when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving powered subsystems during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Byte-selectable control | Independent OE/T/R pairs for A0–A7/B0–B7 and A8–A15/B8–B15 - enables flexible partitioning of 16-bit data paths |
| Near-zero static current | 20 µA quiescent ICC in all three logic states - reduces system-level power budget in always-on IoT edge nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | 3.3 V only VCC range (1.65–3.6 V not supported); no bushold; IOFF not guaranteed at VCC = 0 V | Lacks live-insertion support and floating-input immunity - requires external pull resistors and careful power sequencing | Select when cost is primary constraint and system operates strictly at 3.3 V with controlled power-up sequence |
| 74ALVC16245PW | Higher drive (±24 mA at 2.5 V), but only 3.6 V tolerant at VCC ≥ 2.3 V; no bushold; TSSOP-48 footprint identical | Not suitable for 1.8 V operation or uncontrolled floating inputs - limited to 2.5/3.3 V mixed-bus designs | Select when 2.5 V operation dominates and bushold is managed externally via firmware or layout |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74ALVC16245PW, the 74VCXH16245DTR uniquely combines 1.65 V minimum VCC, guaranteed 3.6 V I/O tolerance across full voltage range, active bushold, and IOFF - making it the only option qualified for robust 1.8 V–3.3 V hot-swap interconnects.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the 74VCXH16245DTR?
The 74VCXH16245DTR operates reliably down to 1.65 V VCC, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At this voltage, propagation delay is specified at 6.0 ns max and output drive is ±6 mA. Operation below 1.65 V risks undefined logic behavior and violates absolute maximum ratings - sustained use below this threshold is not supported.
Does the 74VCXH16245DTR support hot-swap functionality, and what features enable it?
Yes, the 74VCXH16245DTR supports live insertion and withdrawal per its datasheet Features section. This is enabled by three verified capabilities: IOFF circuitry that forces outputs to high-impedance when VCC = 0 V, 3.6 V-tolerant I/O pins that withstand bus voltages before power-up, and active bushold that stabilizes floating inputs without external components - collectively preventing bus contention during mechanical mating.
Can the 74VCXH16245DTR be used to translate between 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic without external level-shifting circuitry?
Yes, the 74VCXH16245DTR is explicitly designed for this purpose. Its 3.6 V-tolerant inputs and outputs allow direct connection to 3.3 V busses while operating from a 1.8 V VCC supply, as stated in the device description and Absolute Maximum Ratings. No external level shifters, resistors, or voltage translators are needed - the IC handles bidirectional translation natively.
What is the function of the bushold circuitry in the 74VCXH16245DTR, and how does it affect system design?
The bushold circuitry in the 74VCXH16245DTR actively retains the last-valid logic state on unused or floating inputs using internal feedback, eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Per datasheet specifications, it delivers ±75 µA hold current at 3.0 V. This reduces BOM count, saves PCB area, and improves signal integrity by removing resistor-induced parasitics - especially critical in high-density FPGA carrier boards.
How many independent transceiver sections does the 74VCXH16245DTR contain, and how are they controlled?
The 74VCXH16245DTR contains two independent 8-bit transceiver sections: one for A0–A7/B0–B7 and another for A8–A15/B8–B15. Each section has dedicated Output Enable (OEN1/OEN2) and Transmit/Receive (T/R1/T/R2) inputs. Control lines can be tied together for unified 16-bit operation or driven separately to enable byte-granular direction and enable control - a capability confirmed in the Functional Description and Logic Diagram sections.
