Product details
Overview
PI74LPT16245AAEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional voltage-level translating transceiver supporting asynchronous two-way 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), deployed in mixed-voltage backplane interfaces and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the PI74LPT16245AAEX datasheet, PI74LPT16245AAEX pinout, PI74LPT16245AAEX application, or PI74LPT16245AAEX equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3V/5V tolerance on all I/Os, low ground bounce outputs, hysteresis on inputs, and compatibility with LCX™/LVT™ logic families in high-noise industrial systems.
Technical Context
The PI74LPT16245AAEX 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 from 3.3V VCC, eliminating external level-shifting components.
It uses advanced low-power CMOS with distributed VCC/GND pins and multiple center ground pins to suppress switching noise. Input hysteresis (150 mV) enhances noise immunity, and propagation delays are guaranteed ≤4.1 ns (LPT16245C grade) at 3.3V with 50 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - Enables stable operation in 3.3V systems with ±10% rail tolerance. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | –0.5V to +7.0V - Supports 5V-tolerant inputs/outputs without clamping diodes or external protection. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA - Delivers robust signal integrity across noisy backplanes and long traces. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.1 ns (max, LPT16245C) - Meets timing budgets for 100+ MHz bus handshaking. |
| Input Hysteresis | 150 mV - Rejects common-mode noise on shared control lines like DIR/OE in industrial environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor edge nodes. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W (max) - Allows use in dense PCB layouts without forced air cooling. |
Pinout & Package
PI74LPT16245AAEX is packaged in a Pb-free, green 48-pin 240-mil wide thin plastic TSSOP (Package Code A), with 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153F/ED compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit bank (A→B or B→A); TTL-compatible threshold. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Places corresponding A/B port in high-impedance state; enables bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Pins | 3.3V-referenced bidirectional ports; tolerate up to 5V input, drive 3.3V or 5V loads. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Pins | 5V-tolerant bidirectional ports; interface directly to legacy 5V logic or microcontrollers. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power Supply | Single 3.3V supply powers entire device; multiple VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 34, 39, 45) | Ground Reference | Seven dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and provide low-inductance return paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage-level translating transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245A | 3.3V-only I/O tolerance (no 5V tolerance); max VCC = 3.6V; lower drive (±24 mA only at VCC ≥ 3.0V) | Requires external clamping for 5V bus connections; unsuitable for direct 5V interface | Select when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and cost is prioritized over mixed-voltage flexibility. |
| 74ALVC16245 | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.3 ns), but narrower VCC range (2.3V–3.6V); no 5V-tolerant I/O | Limited to low-voltage-only designs; lacks industrial temp rating (only –40°C to +85°C in selected grades) | Choose for high-speed 3.3V-only systems where propagation delay is critical and 5V interoperability is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245A and 74ALVC16245, PI74LPT16245AAEX uniquely supports true 5V-tolerant I/O from a 3.3V supply-enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 5V systems without redesign, while maintaining industrial temperature compliance and low ground bounce.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the PI74LPT16245AAEX can drive reliably?
The device is characterized for CL = 50 pF with RL = 500 Ω, and its ±24 mA drive strength supports heavier loads up to 70 pF while maintaining <5 ns propagation delay and monotonic edges. Driving >70 pF requires verifying signal integrity via IBIS simulation or bench testing with actual trace impedance.
Can PI74LPT16245AAEX operate with VCC = 2.7V while interfacing to a 5V bus?
Yes. The device guarantees 5V-tolerant inputs and outputs across its full VCC range (2.7V–3.6V). At 2.7V VCC, VOH remains ≥2.0V (IOL = 24 mA), sufficient to meet VIH thresholds of standard 5V TTL and CMOS loads, confirmed in DC Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does PI74LPT16245AAEX 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 (VIH = 2.0V min). For robust noise immunity in floating-control scenarios, a 10 kΩ pull-down on each DIR/OE is recommended-per design practices in Pericom Application Note AN-322 for mixed-signal transceivers.
How does the PI74LPT16245AAEX handle simultaneous switching noise (SSN)?
It mitigates SSN via seven dedicated GND pins, distributed VCC pins, and low-ground-bounce output architecture. Layout guidelines in the datasheet specify minimum 20-mil power/ground plane clearance and recommend stitching vias within 1 mm of each GND pin to contain return current loops and limit ΔI/Δt-induced noise.
