Product details
Overview
PI74LPT16245AAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional voltage-level transceiver supporting asynchronous two-way data bus communication between 3.3V and 5.0V domains. It features dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit operation via independent DIR/OE controls, 24 mA balanced output drive, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Used in mixed-voltage motherboard I/O buffering and FPGA-to-ASIC interface translation.
For engineers reviewing the PI74LPT16245AAE datasheet, PI74LPT16245AAE pinout, PI74LPT16245AAE application, or PI74LPT16245AAE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3V/5V tolerance, high-impedance control timing (tPZL ≤ 5.8 ns), hysteresis-enabled noise immunity, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with LCX/LVT logic families.
Technical Context
The PI74LPT16245AAE implements dual independent direction-control paths (1DIR/2DIR) and output-enable inputs (1OE/2OE), enabling flexible partitioning into two 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bit unit. Its 5V-tolerant I/O architecture allows direct connection to 5V buses while powered at 3.3V, with input hysteresis (150 mV) and low ground bounce design.
It operates across VCC = 2.7V–3.6V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and achieves propagation delays as low as 1.5 ns (min) with 50 pF load. Switching characteristics are specified for both commercial and extended voltage ranges, with skew guaranteed ≤0.5 ns between same-direction outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - Ensures stable operation in 3.3V systems with ±0.3V supply tolerance |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Inputs accept –0.5V to 7.0V; outputs drive to 5V bus - Enables safe interfacing with legacy 5V logic without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA (sink/source) - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads under heavy capacitive loading |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.1 ns (LPT16245C grade, CL = 50 pF) - Supports >200 MHz data rates in point-to-point bus applications |
| Enable/Disable Time | tPZL ≤ 5.8 ns (max), tPHZ ≤ 4.8 ns (max) - Allows rapid bus arbitration and dynamic direction switching in real-time protocols |
| Input Hysteresis | 150 mV - Rejects noise on slow-rising or noisy control signals (e.g., long PCB traces, unshielded cables) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, telecom line cards, and automotive body electronics |

| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Pins | Bidirectional data terminals for Port A; 5V-tolerant inputs, 3.3V outputs |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Pins | Bidirectional data terminals for Port B; identical electrical behavior to Side A |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PSRR |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 34, 39, 45) | Ground Reference | Seven GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245A | 3.3V-only I/O; not 5V-tolerant on inputs - requires external clamping or series resistors for 5V bus connection | Limited to 3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for direct 5V bus interfacing without redesign | Select when full 5V tolerance is unnecessary and cost is primary; verify input protection for mixed-voltage use |
| 74ALVC16245 | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.3 ns), but only 3.6V max VCC and no 5V-tolerant inputs - incompatible with 5V bus termination | Used in high-speed 3.3V-only backplanes; cannot replace PI74LPT16245AAE in 5V-tolerant roles | Choose for maximum speed in purely 3.3V domains; avoid where 5V bus presence is certain |
Compared with SN74LVC16245A and 74ALVC16245, PI74LPT16245AAE uniquely supports true 5V-tolerant operation without external components, making it the only drop-in solution for mixed 3.3V/5V bus arbitration where input voltage exceeds VCC.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus capacitance supported by PI74LPT16245AAE at 100 MHz?
The device specifies switching performance with CL = 50 pF, and its ±24 mA drive capability supports up to ~70 pF total load (including trace and stub capacitance) while maintaining <5 ns propagation delay and monotonic edges. For 100 MHz operation, keep net capacitance ≤45 pF and use controlled-impedance routing with series termination.
Can PI74LPT16245AAE be used with VCC = 2.5V?
No. The absolute minimum VCC is 2.7V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At 2.5V, VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive strength fall outside specification, risking logic misreads and insufficient noise margin. Use only within 2.7V–3.6V range.
Is the PI74LPT16245AAE pinout compatible with standard 48-pin TSSOP footprints?
Yes. It uses JEDEC MO-153F/ED compliant 48-pin TSSOP with 0.5 mm pitch and 240 mil body width. Footprint matches industry-standard 48-TSSOP layouts, including land pattern dimensions, thermal pad exposure, and solder mask clearance per IPC-7351B.
Does PI74LPT16245AAE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR/OE pins?
No. Internal weak pull-downs are not present, but the inputs have hysteresis and TTL-compatible thresholds. For robust noise immunity in electrically noisy environments, a 10 kΩ pull-down on each DIR/OE is recommended to prevent floating states during power-up or reset sequences.
