Product details
Overview
CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2V–3.6V domains, featuring configurable VCCA/VCCB rails, 3-state outputs, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (Grade 1: –40°C to 125°C). It supports up to 380Mbps data rate (1.8V→3.3V), Ioff partial-power-down, and 4.6V I/O tolerance - deployed in telematics and digital cluster interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 datasheet, CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 pinout, CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 application, or CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage flexibility, DIR/OE control logic referenced to VCCA, VCC isolation behavior, and automotive-qualified ESD performance (HBM ±8kV, CDM ±1kV).
Technical Context
The CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 implements a fully configurable dual-rail architecture where A-port I/Os track VCCA (1.2V–3.6V) and B-port I/Os track VCCB (1.2V–3.6V), enabling universal low-voltage translation across 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V nodes. Control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced solely to VCCA.
VCC isolation ensures both ports enter high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB is driven to GND. Ioff circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down, preventing damaging backflow current while maintaining 4.6V I/O tolerance regardless of supply state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VCCA and VCCB independently support 1.2V to 3.6V - enables mixed-voltage system interconnect without external level-shifting components. |
| Max Data Rate | 380Mbps for 1.8V→3.3V translation - supports high-speed serial bus bridging in infotainment subsystems. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±8000V, CDM ±1000V per AEC-Q100 - ensures robustness in automotive assembly and field operation. |
| I/O Tolerance | 4.6V tolerant on all A/B port pins - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals even when local rail is powered down. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤6.7ns (A↔B, VCCA=1.2V, VCCB=3.3V) - guarantees timing compliance in sub-10ns critical paths. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for engine bay, dashboard, and ADAS module deployment. |
| Power-Down Current | Ioff ≤±10µA at –40°C to +125°C - minimizes leakage during sleep modes in always-on vehicle networks. |
Pinout & Package
CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 is packaged in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) with nominal body size 9.70mm × 4.40mm, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port bidirectional I/O | Referenced to VCCA; supports 1.2V–3.6V logic levels; 4.6V tolerant. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port bidirectional I/O | Referenced to VCCB; supports 1.2V–3.6V logic levels; 4.6V tolerant. |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-high, referenced to VCCA; controls data flow direction per 8-bit section (A→B or B→A). |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low, referenced to VCCA; places corresponding port pair in high-impedance state when high. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Power supply inputs | Independent rails; VCCA powers A-port and control logic; VCCB powers B-port only. |
| GND | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins (pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) - reduces ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.2V–3.6V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables seamless interface between disparate voltage domains (e.g., 1.8V MCU ↔ 3.3V sensor hub). |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance state on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents bus contention during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current backflow when VCCA or VCCB is unpowered - eliminates need for external isolation switches in multi-rail systems. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification with HBM ±8kV and CDM ±1kV ESD ratings - meets stringent reliability requirements for telematics and cluster ECUs. |
| High-speed timing | Sub-7ns propagation delay (A↔B) at 1.2V/3.3V supplies - supports DDR-like burst transfers in head-unit display interfaces. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 I/O pins when VCCA or VCCB is unpowered?
CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 I/O pins are rated for 4.6V tolerance regardless of supply state. When VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, the Ioff feature limits leakage current to ≤±10µA (–40°C to +125°C), and the VCC isolation function forces both ports into high-impedance - protecting downstream circuitry from overvoltage or backfeed damage during power sequencing.
How does the DIR input reference affect control logic design for CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1?
The DIR input for CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 is referenced exclusively to VCCA, not VCCB. This means the logic threshold (VIH/VIL) scales with VCCA voltage (e.g., VIH = VCCA × 0.65 for 1.2V–1.95V range). Designers must drive DIR from the same domain as VCCA - typically the controller side - and cannot tie it directly to a VCCB-referenced signal without level-shifting.
Can CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 translate between 1.2V and 1.5V domains while maintaining full 16-bit bandwidth?
Yes. CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 supports 1.2V ↔ 1.5V translation at 200Mbps per direction, as specified in its switching characteristics tables. The device maintains matched tPLH/tPHL (≤6.7ns typical) and low skew across all 16 bits, enabling synchronous data capture in low-voltage memory or sensor interfaces without added timing margin.
What is the thermal resistance of CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 in its TVSOP package, and how does it impact automotive derating?
CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 in the DGV (TVSOP-48) package has RθJA = 77.2°C/W. At maximum ambient (125°C) and 60µA ICCA+ICCB quiescent current, self-heating remains negligible (<5°C rise). However, under sustained 380Mbps operation with 12mA IOL/IOH loads, thermal simulation confirms junction temperature stays within 150°C limit - satisfying AEC-Q100 thermal stress requirements.
Does CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 support hot-plug or live-insertion scenarios in automotive modules?
CAVC16T245QDGVRQ1 supports controlled hot-plug via its VCC isolation and Ioff features: when VCCA or VCCB ramps up/down independently, both ports remain in high-impedance until valid supply is established. OE must be held high (via pullup to VCCA) during power-up to guarantee tri-state behavior - preventing bus glitches during insertion into powered backplanes.
