Product details
Overview
PI74AUC164245KE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with independent VCCA (0.8–2.7V) and VCCB (0.8–2.7V) rails, enabling bidirectional level translation between mismatched voltage domains. It supports IOFF partial power-down, delivers ±9mA drive at 2.3V, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in industrial environments - used in FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects requiring voltage-agile data routing.
For engineers reviewing the PI74AUC164245KE datasheet, PI74AUC164245KE pinout, PI74AUC164245KE application, or PI74AUC164245KE equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail configurability, IOFF-enabled isolation during power sequencing, 3-state output control timing (tpd ≤ 2.6ns at 2.5V), and TVSOP-48 package thermal resistance (107°C/W).
Technical Context
The PI74AUC164245KE implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), each with direction-controlled bidirectional data flow between A- and B-side I/O ports. Control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced solely to VCCA, while data pins on each side operate within their respective supply domain (VCCA for A-port, VCCB for B-port).
Its IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, blocking reverse current up to ±10mA and preventing bus contention during hot-insertion or staggered power-up sequences. The device meets JESD22-A114-B (2000V HBM) and JESD22-A115-A (200V MM) ESD standards without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 0.8V to 2.7V - enables direct interfacing between 1.2V FPGA I/O and 1.8V memory subsystems without external level shifters. |
| IOFF Current | ±10µA max at 0V supply - ensures safe isolation during partial power-down without latch-up risk per JESD78 (>100mA). |
| Output Drive | ±9mA at 2.3V - sustains clean signal integrity driving 15pF loads across 2.5V logic families with <2.6ns propagation delay. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 2.2ns (A→B) / 2.2ns (B→A) at VCCA=VCCB=2.5V - supports >300MHz data rates in high-speed parallel buses. |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM, 200V MM - eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes in board-level ESD protection schemes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drive, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 3pF (VCCA), 14pF (VCCB) - minimizes dynamic power in low-voltage, high-frequency switching scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
PI74AUC164245KE is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 48-pin TVSOP (173-mil width) with 0.4mm pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance (θJA = 107°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-HIGH signal referenced to VCCA; determines data flow direction per 8-bit section (A↔B). |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control referenced to VCCA; places associated 8-bit port outputs in high-impedance state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-Side I/O Port | Bidirectional data pins powered by VCCA; tolerate –0.5V to VCCA+0.5V during hot-swap transitions. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-Side I/O Port | Bidirectional data pins powered by VCCB; tolerate –0.5V to VCCB+0.5V, enabling robust level shifting. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent Supply Rails | Separate power inputs allow asymmetric operation (e.g., VCCA=1.2V, VCCB=1.8V) without internal regulation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for both supply domains; requires low-inductance layout to maintain noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply rails | VCCA and VCCB each configurable from 0.8V to 2.7V - eliminates need for external voltage translators in mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when either VCCA or VCCB = 0V - prevents back-drive damage during power sequencing in modular systems. |
| 3-state output control | Separate 1OE/2OE pins per 8-bit bank - enables selective bus isolation without affecting adjacent data lanes. |
| Low propagation delay | tpd ≤ 2.2ns (A↔B) at 2.5V - supports timing-critical applications like DDR memory co-processors and real-time sensor fusion. |
| Pb-free & Green packaging | TVSOP-48 (K) meets RoHS/REACH and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 - suitable for lead-free reflow assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level-shifting transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245DGGR | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6V), higher drive (±12mA), but no IOFF support. | Lacks partial power-down capability - unsuitable for hot-swap or staggered supply sequencing. | Select when maximum drive strength is prioritized over power-down safety in fixed-supply systems. |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing, lower drive (±2mA), single-supply biasing (VCCA only). | No DIR/OE pins - incompatible with synchronous bus protocols requiring explicit direction control. | Prefer for simple GPIO expansion where direction is software-determined and speed <100MHz. |
Compared with SN74AVCH16T245DGGR and TXB0108PWR, PI74AUC164245KE uniquely balances dual-rail flexibility, IOFF-enabled safety, and sub-3ns timing - making it optimal for industrial and automotive systems demanding both voltage agility and robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for VCCA and VCCB?
The PI74AUC164245KE supports VCCA and VCCB down to 0.8V, verified across –40°C to +85°C. At 0.8V, it maintains functional operation with VIH = 0V and VIL = 0V for control inputs, and delivers ±0.7mA output drive with tpd ≤ 8.5ns - sufficient for ultra-low-power sensor interface applications.
How does IOFF protect the device during partial power-down?
When either VCCA or VCCB drops to 0V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs, limiting reverse current to ±10µA. This prevents damaging backflow through I/O pins into powered domains, satisfying JESD78 latch-up immunity (>100mA) and enabling safe hot-swap in modular systems.
Can PI74AUC164245KE translate between 1.2V and 3.3V logic?
No - absolute maximum ratings limit VCCA and VCCB to 3.6V, but recommended operation caps both at 2.7V. For 1.2V-to-3.3V translation, use a dedicated level shifter like TXS0108E, as exceeding 2.7V risks parametric degradation and reduced reliability per datasheet Section "Maximum Ratings".
Is the TVSOP-48 package compatible with standard TSSOP-48 footprints?
No - the PI74AUC164245KE uses a 173-mil wide TVSOP package (K suffix), whereas TSSOP-48 (A suffix) is 240-mil wide. Their pad layouts differ: TVSOP has 0.4mm pitch and 6.0×6.2mm body; TSSOP has 0.5mm pitch and 12.4×6.0mm body - requiring distinct PCB land patterns.
