Product details

Overview

PI74LPT16245AE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 3.3V 16-bit bidirectional voltage-level transceiver with 24 mA sink/source drive, 5V-tolerant I/O, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), used for asynchronous bus bridging between 3.3V and 5V domains in mixed-voltage systems.

For engineers reviewing the PI74LPT16245AE datasheet, PI74LPT16245AE pinout, PI74LPT16245AE application, or PI74LPT16245AE equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional direction control (xDIR), 3-state output enable (xOE), 5V-tolerant input compatibility, low ground bounce, and TSSOP-48 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The PI74LPT16245AE implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit bidirectional data flow via independent xDIR and xOE controls per port pair, enabling flexible bus arbitration in multi-master systems. Its CMOS architecture supports mixed-signal operation with guaranteed logic thresholds at both 3.3V and 5V inputs.

It features hysteresis on all inputs (150 mV), distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, and low-output skew (≤0.5 ns) across same-direction transitions-critical for timing-critical parallel bus interfaces like PCI-X legacy bridges and industrial backplanes.

Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage-level translation applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SN74LVC16245A3.3V-only I/O; not 5V-tolerant-requires external clamping or series resistors for 5V bus connectionLimited to 3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for direct 5V bus interfacing without added componentsSelect when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and cost sensitivity outweighs flexibility needs
74ALVC16245Higher drive (±24 mA), but narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); no 5V-tolerant input specNot qualified for mixed 3.3/5V operation; requires separate level-shifting for 5V peripheralsPrefer only if existing design uses ALVC family and board layout prohibits adding discrete translators

Compared with SN74LVC16245A and 74ALVC16245, the PI74LPT16245AE uniquely delivers native 5V-tolerant inputs with 3.3V supply, eliminating external protection components and simplifying layout in mixed-voltage systems-especially where space and BOM count are constrained.

FAQ

Can PI74LPT16245AE operate with a 2.5V supply?

No. The device is specified for VCC = 2.7V to 3.6V only. At 2.5V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4V at IOH = –24 mA) fall outside guaranteed limits, risking logic misreads and insufficient noise margin. Operation below 2.7V is not characterized or supported.

What is the maximum data rate supported by PI74LPT16245AE?

The device supports reliable operation up to 100 MHz bus clock rates. With 4.1 ns max propagation delay (LPT16245C grade) and ≤0.5 ns output skew, it maintains setup/hold timing for 10 ns period signals. For sustained 100 MHz toggling, dynamic supply current remains within 3.3 mA (16-bit toggle at 2.5 MHz), confirming thermal stability under full load.

Is PI74LPT16245AE pin-compatible with standard 48-pin TSSOP transceivers?

Yes. It follows industry-standard double-density pinout (JEDEC MO-153F/ED), matching footprint and signal assignment of compatible 16-bit transceivers including 74LVC16245 and 74ALVC16245. Pin-for-pin compatibility enables direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB revision.

Does PI74LPT16245AE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR/OE pins?

No. Internal weak pull-downs are not present; however, OE and DIR inputs have CMOS-compatible thresholds and negligible leakage (±1 μA). To prevent floating states during power-up or reset, external pull-downs (e.g., 10 kΩ to GND on OE) are recommended for deterministic 3-state initialization, especially in systems lacking controlled power sequencing.
