Product details
Overview
PI74ALVCH16245A from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional 3-state transceiver operating at 2.3V–3.6V supply, featuring independent 8-bit or unified 16-bit mode selection via DIR/OE controls, bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull-ups, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), deployed in backplane data routing and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PI74ALVCH16245A datasheet, PI74ALVCH16245A pinout, PI74ALVCH16245A application, or PI74ALVCH16245A equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional direction control latency, 3-state output enable timing, bus-hold input retention behavior, and TSSOP-48 thermal derating under sustained 3.3V operation.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or single 16-bit asynchronous bus bridging using separate DIR and OE inputs per port group. Direction control is edge-independent and level-sensitive, with simultaneous A→B or B→A flow determined solely by DIR state while OE enables/disables outputs.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last valid logic level on floating inputs without external components; output ground bounce (VOLP) is specified ≤0.8V and VOHV undershoot ≤2.0V at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C, supporting noise-immune signal integrity in dense PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - Enables direct interfacing with 3.3V LVTTL and ALVC logic families without level translation. |
| Propagation Delay | Typ. 4.4ns (OE→output) - Supports >100MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous data transfer applications. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±54µA at VIH = 3.2V - Maintains stable logic states on un-driven data lines during hot-swap or partial system power-down. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA (IOH/IOL) - Sustains full drive strength across industrial temperature range without derating. |
| Input Hysteresis | Present on all inputs - Rejects noise up to 300mV peak-to-peak on control and data lines. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for deployment in industrial control cabinets and telecom line cards. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic TSSOP (A), 240-mil body width, 0.5mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, thermal pad not included.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Level-sensitive control: HIGH enables B→A flow; LOW enables A→B flow per 8-bit port group. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input (Active LOW) | Drives both A and B ports into high-impedance when HIGH; must be pulled to VCC via resistor during power-up. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | Bi-directional data terminals for first/second 8-bit bus segment; internally connected to bus-hold circuitry. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | Bi-directional data terminals mirroring Side A; electrically isolated but functionally paired with respective A pins. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply Pins | Two VCC (pins 7, 22, 37) and three GND (pins 4, 19, 34) pins minimize IR drop and improve PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable 8/16-bit operation | Single DIR/OE pair per 8-bit section allows independent control of two sub-buses or synchronized 16-bit transfer. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates need for 32 external pull-up resistors on data lines, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8V ensures signal integrity during simultaneous output switching in high-speed bus environments. |
| Industrial temperature rating | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C supports deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments. |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | Improves noise margin on control signals (DIR/OE) in electrically noisy industrial settings. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Backplane Data Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16245A | Same pinout and DC specs; TI version lacks bus-hold circuitry - requires external pull-ups on all inputs. | Not suitable where floating inputs occur during power sequencing or partial system reset. | Select if external pull-up resistors are already present and bus-hold is unnecessary. |
| 74LVC16245ADGG | NXP part uses 1.65V–3.6V VCC range; lower drive (±24mA vs ±32mA) and no hysteresis on control inputs. | Marginally less noise-immune on DIR/OE lines in EMI-heavy environments. | Select for ultra-low-voltage systems down to 1.65V where full 3.3V drive strength is not required. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16245A and 74LVC16245ADGG, PI74ALVCH16245A uniquely integrates bus-hold and input hysteresis while maintaining identical TSSOP-48 footprint and 3.3V timing - critical for robustness in industrial hot-swap and partial-power-down scenarios.

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins during power-up?
A minimum 4.7kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended for OE pins to ensure reliable high-impedance state at power-on. This value balances current draw against rise-time requirements and aligns with the device's specified input leakage (±5µA max) and internal weak pull-down characteristics.
Can PI74ALVCH16245A operate reliably at 2.5V VCC?
Yes - the device is fully specified from 2.3V to 3.6V. At 2.5V, propagation delay increases to ~6.2ns (typical), output drive reduces to ±18mA, and bus-hold current drops to ±32µA, all within guaranteed limits per the datasheet's DC and AC electrical characteristics tables.
How does bus-hold functionality interact with externally driven signals?
Bus-hold circuitry activates only when input voltage falls within the hysteresis window (typically 0.8V–2.0V for 3.3V operation). When a valid HIGH or LOW signal is applied, the internal keeper is overridden without contention or increased power consumption.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation in a 70°C ambient environment?
No - the device's maximum junction temperature (150°C) and θJA of 65°C/W (TSSOP-48, 2-layer board) allow full-rated operation at 85°C ambient. At 70°C ambient, power dissipation can reach 1.0W without exceeding Tj = 135°C, well within safe margin.
