Product details
Overview
CLVCC3245AIPWREP from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit bidirectional voltage translator IC with dual supply rails (VCCA = 2.3 V–3.6 V, VCCB = 3 V–5.5 V), enabling level-shifting between 2.5/3.3-V and 3.3/5-V digital buses. It features direction control (DIR) and output-enable (OE) inputs referenced to VCCA, ±24 mA drive capability per channel, and operates from −40°C to 85°C in TSSOP-24 package. It is used in mixed-voltage microcontroller interfacing and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the CLVCC3245AIPWREP datasheet, CLVCC3245AIPWREP pinout, CLVCC3245AIPWREP application, or CLVCC3245AIPWREP equivalent, key selection considerations include its asymmetric supply tolerance, DIR/OE logic referencing to VCCA, bus-isolation capability via OE, and verified 7.1 ns max propagation delay (A→B at 2.7–3.6 V / 3.3 V).
Technical Context
The CLVCC3245AIPWREP implements a noninverting octal transceiver architecture with independent A- and B-side I/Os powered by separate supplies. Its DIR input selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE disables both sides into high-impedance state - all control logic powered solely by VCCA.
It supports true bidirectional translation without external biasing, with input thresholds on control pins (DIR, OE) referenced strictly to VCCA, and I/O thresholds dynamically tracking their respective supply (VCCA for A ports, VCCB for B ports). Latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - powers control logic and defines VIH/VIL thresholds for DIR/OE; enables compatibility with 2.5-V and 3.3-V logic domains. |
| VCCB Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - powers B-side I/Os; supports interface to 3.3-V, 5-V, and legacy TTL systems. |
| tPLH / tPHL (A→B) | 1 ns min / 7.1 ns max at VCCA=2.7–3.6 V, VCCB=3.3 V - ensures sub-8 ns signal transfer latency in 3.3-V system interconnects. |
| IOH / IOL | −24 mA / +24 mA at VCCA=3.3 V, VCCB=3 V - delivers rail-to-rail drive strength sufficient for driving 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads. |
| VIH/VIL (control pins) | Referenced to VCCA: VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCCA=3.3 V - guarantees clean switching with standard 3.3-V CMOS outputs driving DIR/OE. |
| ESD Protection | HBM: 2000 V, MM: 200 V, CDM: 1000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood auxiliary applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-port I/Os (A1–A8) | 8-bit data bus side operating at VCCA voltage domain; inputs accept −0.5 V to VCCA+0.5 V, outputs swing 0–VCCA. |
| 9, 10 | GND | Dual ground connections for noise isolation between A- and B-side return paths. |
| 11 | VCCA | Supply for internal control logic and A-side I/Os; defines voltage reference for DIR/OE thresholds. |
| 12 | DIR | Direction-control input: low = B→A data flow, high = A→B data flow; referenced to VCCA. |
| 13 | OE | Output-enable input: low = active transceiver, high = high-Z isolation of both A and B buses. |
| 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 | B-port I/Os (B1–B8) | 8-bit data bus side operating at VCCB voltage domain; inputs accept −0.5 V to VCCB+0.5 V, outputs swing 0–VCCB. |
| 22 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 23 | VCCB | Supply for B-side I/Os only; independent of VCCA and controls B-port voltage swing range. |
| 24 | GND | Third ground terminal - improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce in high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asymmetric dual-supply operation | Enables direct 2.5-V ↔ 3.3-V and 3.3-V ↔ 5-V translation without external resistors or level-shifter ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Lower VCCA range (1.2–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD < 4 ns), but no enhanced product qualification or extended temp support. | Suitable for commercial-grade portable electronics; lacks DMS support and HAST-tested reliability for industrial deployment. | Select when maximum speed and lowest voltage operation are critical, and extended temperature/lifecycle assurance is not required. |
| TXS0108EPWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), lower drive (±24 mA still met), but higher quiescent current and no latch-up rating >250 mA. | Ideal for simple peripheral expansion where direction is predictable; unsuitable for bidirectional shared buses requiring explicit DIR control. | Choose for plug-and-play I²C/SPI peripheral extension; avoid where deterministic direction control and industrial latch-up immunity are mandatory. |
Compared with SN74AVC8T245RHLR and TXS0108EPWR, the CLVCC3245AIPWREP provides guaranteed −40°C to 85°C operation, JEDEC-qualified reliability for 15+ year deployments, and explicit DIR/OE control essential for deterministic bus arbitration - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical industrial and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for reliable operation of the CLVCC3245AIPWREP?
The CLVCC3245AIPWREP permits VCCA and VCCB to operate independently within their specified ranges: VCCA = 2.3 V–3.6 V and VCCB = 3 V–5.5 V. The absolute maximum ratings allow up to 6 V on either supply, but functional operation requires both supplies to remain within their recommended ranges simultaneously. No minimum voltage difference is required - VCCA and VCCB may be equal (e.g., both at 3.3 V) without degradation. The CLVCC3245AIPWREP is not damaged by VCCB exceeding VCCA by up to 1.9 V (5.5 V − 2.3 V), as confirmed by its absolute maximum ratings and JESD 17 latch-up testing.
Can the CLVCC3245AIPWREP be used to translate between 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
No, the CLVCC3245AIPWREP cannot reliably translate 1.8-V logic because its VCCA minimum is 2.3 V. Applying 1.8 V to VCCA violates the recommended operating condition and risks undefined behavior on DIR/OE inputs, which require VIH ≥ 2.0 V (at VCCA = 2.3 V) and VIL ≤ 0.7 V. For 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V translation, TI recommends the SN74AVC8T245 or SN74LVC8T245 - both support VCCA down to 1.2 V and maintain full functionality across that range. The CLVCC3245AIPWREP is optimized for 2.5/3.3-V ↔ 3.3/5-V interoperability only.
How does the CLVCC3245AIPWREP handle power-up sequencing, and what happens if VCCB rises before VCCA?
TI specifies strict power-up sequencing for the CLVCC3245AIPWREP: ground must be established first, then VCCA applied before VCCB, with OE tied to VCCA via pull-up to prevent bus contention. If VCCB rises before VCCA, the B-side I/Os may enter undefined states, causing excessive supply current or oscillation due to floating control inputs. The CLVCC3245AIPWREP does not include internal power-on reset or sequencing logic - proper external sequencing (e.g., using a supervisor IC or RC delay on VCCA) is mandatory. This requirement is documented in TI literature SCEA021 and applies identically across all CLVCC3245A variants.
Is the CLVCC3245AIPWREP pin-compatible with the commercial-grade SN74LVCC3245A?
Yes, the CLVCC3245AIPWREP is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the commercial SN74LVCC3245A in TSSOP-24 (PW) package, sharing identical pinout, electrical behavior, and timing characteristics. The "EP" suffix denotes Enhanced Product qualification - including extended temperature range (−40°C to 85°C), DMS support, enhanced change notification, and JEDEC reliability testing - but no physical or logical differences in connectivity or operation. Board designs using SN74LVCC3245AIPW can directly substitute CLVCC3245AIPWREP without layout or firmware changes.
What is the thermal performance of the CLVCC3245AIPWREP in its TSSOP-24 package, and how does it affect continuous operation at full drive strength?
The CLVCC3245AIPWREP in TSSOP-24 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 88°C/W, as measured per JESD 51-7. At maximum rated output current (±24 mA per channel across all 8 channels), total power dissipation reaches ~120 mW - resulting in a worst-case junction temperature rise of ~10.6°C above ambient. This allows continuous full-drive operation at 85°C ambient without derating, provided PCB copper area meets TI's recommended land pattern (7.8 mm × 4.4 mm thermal pad with 24×0.45 mm solder mask openings). No heatsink is required for standard industrial use cases.
