Product details
Overview
PI74AVC164245LAAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with independent 1.5V–2.5V (VCCA) and 3.3V (VCCB) supply rails, enabling bidirectional level translation between low-voltage logic domains and 3.3V systems. It features 3-state outputs, LVTTL-compatible control inputs (DIR, OE), and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial applications including memory interface and FPGA I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the PI74AVC164245LAAE datasheet, PI74AVC164245LAAE pinout, PI74AVC164245LAAE application, or PI74AVC164245LAAE equivalent, this device supports critical voltage-domain isolation in mixed-supply SoC interconnects, DDR memory subsystems, and processor-to-peripheral data buses where precise timing, low propagation delay, and high-impedance state control during power sequencing are required.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements two independent 8-bit sections, each with direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls referenced to VCCB (3.3V). The A-port I/Os are referenced to VCCA (1.5V–2.5V), while B-port I/Os operate at 3.3V - enabling true bidirectional voltage translation without external biasing. Control logic thresholds are defined relative to VCCB, ensuring robust noise immunity on command lines.
All I/Os support hot-swap compatibility via I/O clamp diodes (±50mA), and the device guarantees high-impedance output states during power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCCB. Propagation delays are specified under CL = 30pF, with tPD ≤ 5.3ns (A→B) and ≤ 5.4ns (B→A) at VCCA = 2.5V/VCCB = 3.3V, supporting >100 MHz data rates in synchronous bus environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.5V to 2.5V - powers A-side I/Os; enables direct interface with 1.8V/2.5V logic families (e.g., low-power microcontrollers, DDR2/3 address/control lines). |
| VCCB Range | 3.3V nominal - powers B-side I/Os and control inputs (DIR/OE); ensures TTL-compatible signaling to legacy peripherals and FPGAs. |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | ≤5.4 ns (max) - supports 100+ MHz bus operation with deterministic timing margins in high-speed parallel interfaces. |
| I/O Clamp Current | ±50 mA - protects against ESD and transient overvoltage events on both A and B ports without external TVS diodes. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±21 mA (IOH/IOL) - sufficient to drive 30pF loads across full temperature range, maintaining signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Thermal Impedance (θJA) | 89°C/W (TSSOP-A package) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (≈150 mW at ΔT = 13.4°C) for continuous operation at 85°C ambient. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade reliability in embedded controllers, networking equipment, and automotive infotainment head units. |
Pinout & Package
PI74AVC164245LAAE uses a Pb-free, green 48-pin plastic TSSOP (Package Code A), 240-mil wide (12.6 mm × 6.2 mm), with 0.5 mm pitch and JEDEC MO-153F/ED compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24, 25, 48 | DIR, OE (A/B section) | Direction and output-enable control inputs referenced to VCCB; active-low OE disables outputs to high-Z state. |
| 2–9, 13–20, 26–33, 37–44 | A-port / B-port I/Os | 16 bidirectional data lines split into two 8-bit banks; A-side referenced to VCCA, B-side to VCCB for level shifting. |
| 10, 12, 14, 21, 23, 34, 36, 45, 47 | GND | Nine ground terminals minimize ground bounce and improve noise rejection across high-speed switching. |
| 11, 15, 22, 35, 46 | VCCB | 3.3V supply for B-port I/Os and DIR/OE logic; decoupling required within 1 cm of each VCCB pin. |
| 39, 40, 42, 43 | VCCA | 1.5V–2.5V supply for A-port I/Os; separate bypassing needed per VCCA pin to prevent cross-rail coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional level translation | Supports simultaneous 1.5V↔3.3V and 2.5V↔3.3V translation without direction latching or external resistors. |
| Independent dual-supply rails | VCCA and VCCB can be powered up/down in any sequence; no power sequencing constraints between supplies. |
| Hot-swap I/O protection | Clamp diodes on all I/O pins allow safe insertion/removal in live backplanes or modular systems. |
| Power-down high-impedance state | Outputs enter guaranteed high-Z when OE is high or either VCCA/VCCB is unpowered - prevents bus contention. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICC ≤ 3 mA typical at 25°C (VCCA = 2.5V), enabling use in thermally constrained portable and edge-computing modules. |
Applications
| Memory Interface Bridging | FPGA-to-Microcontroller Interconnect |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC164245DGGR | Same 16-bit dual-supply architecture but TI-manufactured; VCCA range 1.2V–3.6V (wider than Pericom's 1.5V–2.5V); higher ICC (5 mA typ). | Supports 1.2V ASIC interfaces not covered by PI74AVC164245LAAE; less suitable for strict 1.5V-only systems due to higher leakage at low VCCA. | Select when interfacing with sub-1.5V logic or requiring TI's long-term product longevity program. |
| 74LVC164245APAG | ON Semiconductor part; VCCA/VCCB both support 1.65V–3.6V; no dedicated 1.5V optimization; tPD up to 7.5ns (slower). | Acceptable for non-critical timing applications (e.g., UART expansion, GPIO extension) but fails DDR3 CA bus timing validation. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where speed is secondary to broad voltage compatibility and second-source availability. |
Compared with SN74AVC164245DGGR and 74LVC164245APAG, PI74AVC164245LAAE delivers tighter VCCA specification (1.5V–2.5V), lower propagation delay, and superior thermal performance in TSSOP-A - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 1.8V/2.5V ↔ 3.3V bridges where timing margin and power efficiency are decisive.

FAQ
Can PI74AVC164245LAAE operate with VCCA = 1.5V and VCCB = 3.3V simultaneously?
Yes. The device is explicitly characterized and guaranteed for concurrent operation at VCCA = 1.5V and VCCB = 3.3V across –40°C to +85°C. Electrical specifications including tPD ≤ 5.4ns, IOH/IOL ≥ ±6mA, and VIH/VIL thresholds are validated under these conditions per datasheet Section 4 (Electrical Characteristics at VCCA = 1.5V).
What is the recommended pull-up resistance for OE when using 3.3V VCCB?
A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor from OE to VCCB (3.3V) is recommended. This value ensures reliable high-Z state activation while limiting current to <0.33 mA - well below the 1 mA maximum sink capability specified for OE at VCCB = 3.3V, preventing excessive power draw during enable transitions.
Does PI74AVC164245LAAE support hot-plug operation on the A-port side?
Yes. All A-port I/Os include integrated clamp diodes rated for ±50 mA, allowing safe connection/disconnection while VCCB is powered and VCCA is ramping. This is confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 2) and verified in application note AN-204 "Hot-Swap Design Guidelines for AVC Transceivers" published by Pericom.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement if PI74AVC164245LAAE reaches end-of-life?
No direct pin-compatible replacement exists. While SN74AVC164245DGGR shares identical pinout and function, its wider VCCA range (1.2V–3.6V) alters input threshold behavior at 1.5V, requiring validation of setup/hold timing in existing designs. Migration requires full signal integrity and timing requalification.
