Product details
Overview
74VCXR162245TTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS 16-bit bus transceiver (3-state) with 3.6V-tolerant I/O, symmetrical ±12mA drive at 3.0–3.6V, 3.4ns max propagation delay, and integrated 26Ω series output resistors. It enables bidirectional data flow between asynchronous buses in 1.8–3.6V systems such as DDR memory interfaces and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCXR162245TTR datasheet, 74VCXR162245TTR pinout, 74VCXR162245TTR application, or 74VCXR162245TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage-range compatibility (1.8–3.6V), DIR-controlled directionality, dual enable (1G/2G), 3.6V I/O tolerance for mixed-supply interconnects, and built-in noise suppression via on-die 26Ω termination.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths (A↔B), each controlled by dedicated DIR and G inputs. Direction is determined solely by the DIR signal level, while G asserts high-impedance state on both ports simultaneously.
It uses sub-micron C2MOS process with five-layer metal routing to achieve low ICC (20µA quiescent) and rail-to-rail 3.6V-tolerant I/O across 1.8–3.6V VCC. The integrated 26Ω series resistors per output reduce simultaneous switching noise without requiring external termination.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC162245DGGR | Lower drive (±24mA), no integrated series resistors, 1.65–3.6V range | Requires external 26Ω termination per line; higher current draw increases power in dense layouts | Preferred where maximum drive strength is required and board space permits discrete termination |
| 74ALVC162245PW | Same 1.8–3.6V range and 3.6V I/O tolerance, but no on-die 26Ω resistors | Lacks built-in noise suppression - susceptible to overshoot/ringing on long traces without careful layout | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI mitigation needs and layout constraints allow external termination |
Compared with SN74LVC162245DGGR and 74ALVC162245PW, the 74VCXR162245TTR uniquely integrates 26Ω series resistors per output - reducing design iteration time, PCB layer count, and radiated emissions without sacrificing voltage flexibility or temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74VCXR162245TTR?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 3.4ns maximum propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V enables reliable operation with data rates exceeding 200MHz on well-terminated 16-bit buses. Timing depends on load capacitance, trace length, and drive strength - verified at CL = 30pF and RL = 500Ω per AC test conditions.
Can 74VCXR162245TTR be used with 1.2V logic systems?
No. The absolute minimum operating VCC is 1.8V per recommended conditions. At 1.2V, internal circuitry fails to meet VIH/VIL thresholds, and output drive collapses below specification. For 1.2V systems, consider ST's 74LVC162245 variants with 1.65V min VCC, but note loss of 3.6V I/O tolerance.
How does the 26Ω series resistor affect signal integrity?
The 26Ω resistor is placed in series with each A/B port output and functions as source termination. When matched to typical PCB trace impedance (50–75Ω), it damps reflections and reduces overshoot/ringing - particularly critical for edges with <1ns rise time. Measured dynamic peak/valley voltages confirm ≤±0.35V excursion at 3.3V VCC.
Is the 74VCXR162245TTR pin-compatible with standard 74-series transceivers?
Yes - it is explicitly pin- and function-compatible with the 74R162245 family. Pin numbering, DIR/G control logic, and I/O mapping match industry-standard 48-pin TSSOP layout. However, its 3.6V I/O tolerance and integrated 26Ω resistors provide functional enhancements not present in legacy 74-series parts.
