Product details
Overview
PI74LPT16245AA from Pericom Semiconductor is a 3.3V 16-bit bidirectional voltage-level transceiver with 5V-tolerant inputs/outputs, 24 mA balanced drive strength, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and 48-pin TSSOP (A) package. It enables asynchronous two-way data transfer between mixed-voltage buses (3.3V ↔ 5V), serving as a bus interface in embedded control backplanes and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the PI74LPT16245AA datasheet, PI74LPT16245AA pinout, PI74LPT16245AA application, or PI74LPT16245AA equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional direction control (xDIR), 3-state output enable (xOE), 5V-tolerant I/O capability, propagation delay ≤4.6 ns (LPT16245A grade), and compatibility with LCX™/LVT™ logic families.
Technical Context
The PI74LPT16245AA implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit bidirectional data flow via independent xDIR and xOE controls per port pair. Its input hysteresis (150 mV) and low ground bounce outputs ensure noise immunity in high-speed digital systems.
It operates across VCC = 2.7–3.6 V while accepting input voltages up to 7.0 V, enabling safe interfacing with legacy 5V logic without level-shifting circuitry. Output drive is symmetric at ±24 mA, supporting direct connection to terminated or unterminated 5V buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation in standard 3.3V supply rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to +7.0 V - Allows direct connection to 5V logic without external clamping or translation. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple LVTTL loads simultaneously. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.6 ns (max, LPT16245A grade, CL = 50 pF) - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
| Input Hysteresis | 150 mV - Reduces susceptibility to noise-induced false triggering on slow-rising or noisy control signals. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤10 μA - Minimizes standby power in always-on system management interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin 240-mil wide thin plastic TSSOP (Package Code A), Pb-free & Green compliant, JEDEC MO-153F/ED footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-HIGH signal selecting data flow direction: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control placing corresponding A/B port outputs in high-impedance state. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Pins | Bidirectional data terminals for Bus A; 5V-tolerant inputs, 3.3V outputs capable of driving 5V bus. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Pins | Bidirectional data terminals for Bus B; functionally identical to Side A pins. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve power integrity across high-speed operation. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 34, 39, 45) | Ground Reference | Seven GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce during simultaneous switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-Tolerant Mixed-Signal Operation | Enables seamless interconnection between 3.3V FPGAs and legacy 5V peripherals without external level shifters. |
| Balanced ±24 mA Output Drive | Supports robust signal integrity on unterminated or lightly loaded PCB traces up to 15 cm in length. |
| Dual 8-bit / Single 16-bit Configurability | Allows flexible partitioning-e.g., separate address/data lanes or full-width data path-via independent DIR/OE controls. |
| Low Ground Bounce Outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN), critical for maintaining signal integrity in dense logic backplanes. |
| Hysteresis on All Inputs | Improves noise margin on direction and enable control lines subject to crosstalk or long trace routing. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA same), but only 3.6 V max VCC; no 5V-tolerant inputs - requires external clamping for 5V bus use. | Restricted to 3.3V-only systems or those with added protection circuitry; not drop-in for mixed-voltage designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage flexibility and board space permits clamping diodes. |
| 74ALVC16245PW | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.4 ns), but narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); 5V-tolerant inputs only - outputs not rated for 5V bus termination. | Suitable for high-speed 3.3V-only interconnects; cannot directly drive 5V buses without series resistors or buffers. | Prefer for timing-critical 3.3V FPGA-to-FPGA links where propagation delay dominates over voltage translation. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and 74ALVC16245PW, the PI74LPT16245AA uniquely supports true 5V-bus driving capability from a 3.3V supply without external components, making it optimal for mixed-voltage backplane and legacy interface applications.

FAQ
Can PI74LPT16245AA drive a 5V bus directly without external components?
Yes. Its outputs are specified to safely drive 5V-tolerant buses when VCC = 3.3V, and its inputs accept up to 7.0 V. The device includes internal clamp diodes and is characterized for 5V-bus operation per datasheet Section 3 (DC Electrical Characteristics) and Absolute Maximum Ratings.
What is the difference between PI74LPT16245AA and PI74LPT16245AE?
Both share identical electrical and functional specifications. The suffix "E" denotes Pb-free & Green compliance; "AA" and "AE" differ only in tape-and-reel packaging configuration - "AA" is standard tube packaging, while "AE" indicates tape-and-reel (per Ordering Information table, PS2068F Rev. 11/10/08).
Does PI74LPT16245AA support hot insertion?
No. The device lacks powered-off protection circuitry (IOFF specification shows ±100 µA leakage at VCC = 0V, insufficient for true hot-swap isolation). It must be powered before signal connections are established to avoid latch-up or damage.
How many independent transceiver sections does PI74LPT16245AA contain?
It contains two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceivers (Port 1: A0–A7/B0–B7; Port 2: A0–A7/B0–B7), each with dedicated DIR and OE controls, allowing concurrent or asymmetric data flow configurations per section.
