Product details
Overview
PI74ALVCHR162245AE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 3.3V 16-bit bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous two-way data bus communication. It features dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit operation via independent DIR/OE controls, bus-hold circuitry to eliminate external pull-ups, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the PI74ALVCHR162245AE datasheet, PI74ALVCHR162245AE pinout, PI74ALVCHR162245AE application, or PI74ALVCHR162245AE equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC = 2.3–3.6V compliance, 26Ω integrated series output resistors, high-impedance control timing (tPD ≤ 9.4 ns @ VCC = 3.3V), bus-hold retention, and TSSOP-48 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver blocks in a single 48-pin TSSOP package. Each block has dedicated direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) inputs, allowing flexible configuration as either two 8-bit or one 16-bit path without external logic.
All inputs include hysteresis for noise immunity; outputs feature built-in 26Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last valid logic state on floating inputs, eliminating need for external biasing resistors during 3-state transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - Enables interoperability with 3.3V LVTTL and low-voltage CMOS systems while tolerating supply variation. |
| Propagation Delay tPD | ≤9.4 ns max @ VCC = 3.3V - Supports high-speed bus handshaking up to ~100 MHz system clock domains. |
| Output Drive Strength | IOH/IOL = ±8 mA min - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±4 μA typical - Maintains stable logic level on unused A/B port pins without external pull-up/down resistors. |
| Input Hysteresis | ≥300 mV - Rejects noise spikes on control lines (DIR, OE) in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| ESD Protection | ±2 kV HBM - Meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 requirements for robust handling during board assembly and field operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic TSSOP (240-mil wide, JEDEC MO-153), lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit bank: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A; enables independent bus arbitration. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-Low: HIGH disables both ports into high-impedance state; tie to VCC via pull-up for power-up safety. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Port A Data I/O | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data terminals connected to local bus or microcontroller interface. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Port B Data I/O | Corresponding 8-bit bidirectional data terminals linked to remote bus, memory subsystem, or peripheral interface. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Multiple VCC/GND pairs (pins 6, 17, 31, 42 and 4, 9, 10, 15, 20, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) reduce switching noise and improve signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26Ω Series Output Resistors | Eliminates need for external termination components, reducing BOM count and PCB area for high-speed bus interfaces. |
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | Maintains last valid logic state on floating inputs, preventing metastability and eliminating external pull-up resistors. |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.8V typical at VCC = 3.3V - Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense digital systems. |
| Hysteresis on All Inputs | ≥300 mV threshold margin - Ensures reliable edge detection on DIR/OE control signals under EMI or crosstalk conditions. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C ambient - Qualified for use in automotive body electronics, industrial PLC backplanes, and telecom line cards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH162245DGGR | TI part uses same 48-pin TSSOP but lacks bus-hold; requires external pull-ups on unused inputs. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer designs where board space permits discrete biasing. | Select when external resistor placement is acceptable and TI's qualification documentation is preferred. |
| 74LVC162245APAG | IDT part supports 1.65–3.6V VCC, wider voltage range but higher max tPD (11.5 ns). | Better for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 1.8V FPGA core + 3.3V peripherals) requiring broader supply tolerance. | Choose when interfacing with sub-2.3V logic families or when extended voltage flexibility outweighs speed penalty. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH162245DGGR and 74LVC162245APAG, the PI74ALVCHR162245AE offers superior noise immunity via hysteresis and eliminates BOM overhead through integrated bus-hold-critical for space-constrained industrial and automotive modules where layout density and reliability are prioritized over marginal cost savings.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for PI74ALVCHR162245AE?
Apply VCC before asserting any input signals. Tie OE pins to VCC via a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state during power ramp-up. Avoid floating DIR or OE inputs-bus-hold does not activate until VCC exceeds 1.5V, so external biasing is mandatory for safe initialization.
Can PI74ALVCHR162245AE interface directly with 5V TTL logic?
No. Its absolute maximum input voltage is VCC + 0.5V, and VCC is limited to 3.6V. Applying 5V signals violates the –0.5V to VCC + 0.5V input rating and risks permanent damage. Use level-shifting buffers like the TXB0108 if interfacing with 5V systems.
How does the bus-hold circuit interact with 3-state control?
Bus-hold remains active only when the associated port is in high-impedance state (OE = HIGH). It retains the last driven logic level on floating A or B pins but does not override active driving-when OE = LOW and DIR sets direction, bus-hold is disabled and outputs follow input data strictly.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at 85°C ambient?
Yes. At TA = 85°C, maximum power dissipation must be limited to 0.6W (60% of 1.0W rated limit) per JEDEC JESD51-2 guidelines. Ensure PCB copper area ≥ 200 mm² per VCC/GND pair and maintain airflow >0.5 m/s to sustain full-speed operation without junction temperature exceeding 125°C.
