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
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V nominal; enables stable operation in 3.3V systems with ±10% rail tolerance |
| IO Drive Strength | ±24 mA; sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple LVT/LCX loads without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.1 ns (LPT16245C grade); ensures sub-5 ns timing margin for 100 MHz bus cycles |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to +7.0V; allows direct connection to 5V buses without level-shifting circuitry |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial control and telecom infrastructure environments |
| Output Skew | ≤0.5 ns; guarantees simultaneous edge alignment across all 16 bits for synchronous capture |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1–10 μA; minimizes standby power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin 240-mil wide thin shrink small-outline package (TSSOP), Pb-free & Green compliant, with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit port group (A→B or B→A); active-HIGH logic |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW 3-state control; disables both A/B ports simultaneously into high-impedance state |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Port A I/O Pins | Side-A bidirectional data terminals; 5V-tolerant inputs, 3.3V outputs |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Port B I/O Pins | Side-B bidirectional data terminals; identical electrical behavior to Port A |
| VCC (Pins 7,18,31,42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity during fast switching |
| 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 |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/O | Accepts 0–5.5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V supply-eliminates need for external translators in mixed-voltage backplanes |
| Low ground bounce | Distributed GND pins and balanced drive reduce simultaneous switching noise below 100 mV peak, preserving signal integrity |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 150 mV input hysteresis rejects noise on slow-rising or noisy control signals (e.g., long traces in industrial enclosures) |
| Pb-free & Green packaging | TSSOP-48 (code A) meets RoHS/REACH requirements and supports lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020) |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient-suitable for uncooled industrial PLCs and outdoor base stations |

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-requires external clamping or series resistors for 5V bus connection | Limited to 3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for direct 5V bus interfacing without added components | Select when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and cost sensitivity outweighs flexibility needs |
| 74ALVC16245 | Higher drive (±24 mA), but narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); no 5V-tolerant input spec | Not qualified for mixed 3.3/5V operation; requires separate level-shifting for 5V peripherals | Prefer 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.
