Product details
Overview
PI74LPT16245AV from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional voltage-level translating 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 system interconnects such as CPU-to-peripheral bridges and FPGA I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the PI74LPT16245AV datasheet, PI74LPT16245AV pinout, PI74LPT16245AV application, or PI74LPT16245AV equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3V/5V bidirectional translation capability, low ground bounce outputs, hysteresis on all inputs, and compatibility with LCX™/LVT™ logic families.
Technical Context
The PI74LPT16245AV implements dual independent 8-bit transceiver blocks (1A/1B and 2A/2B), each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins. Direction control is synchronous with data flow: xDIR = LOW enables B→A transfer; xDIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer.
Its 5V-tolerant I/O architecture allows 3.3V VCC operation while accepting 5V inputs and driving 5V buses directly-no external level-shifting components required. Hysteresis (150 mV) on all inputs improves noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - Enables stable operation in 3.3V systems with ±0.3V tolerance. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple LVT/LCX loads without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.1 ns (LPT16245C grade) - Supports >200 MHz data rates in point-to-point bus applications. |
| Input Hysteresis | 150 mV - Reduces susceptibility to slow-rising or noisy control signals (e.g., long PCB traces). |
| IOH/VOL @ 24 mA | VOH ≥ 2.0V, VOL ≤ 0.5V - Ensures valid logic levels under full load, compatible with 3.3V LVTTL thresholds. |
| Quiescent ICC | 0.1–10 μA - Near-zero static power enables use in always-on subsystems without thermal penalty. |
| ESD Rating | ±2 kV HBM - Meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level robustness. |
Pinout & Package
PI74LPT16245AV is packaged in a 48-pin 300-mil wide plastic SSOP (Package Code V), with distributed VCC/GND pins and multiple center GND pads to minimize switching noise and ground bounce.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-HIGH logic selects A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A - supports independent bus arbitration per 8-bit segment. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control places corresponding A/B ports in high-impedance state - enables bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Pins | 3.3V-side bidirectional interface - tolerate 5V inputs and drive 3.3V or 5V buses directly. |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Pins | 5V-side bidirectional interface - compatible with legacy 5V TTL/LVT logic without level shifters. |
| VCC (Pins 7,18,31,42) | Power Supply | 3.3V supply only - multiple VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve transient response during simultaneous switching. |
| GND (Pins 4,10,15,21,34,39,45) | Ground Reference | Seven dedicated GND pins provide low-inductance return paths - critical for signal integrity at >100 Mbps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-Tolerant Mixed-Signal Operation | Accepts 0–5.5V inputs and drives 5V buses from 3.3V supply - eliminates discrete level shifters in mixed-voltage designs. |
| Balanced ±24 mA Output Drive | Equal sink/source strength ensures clean edges on both rising/falling transitions - reduces timing skew across data bus. |
| Low Ground Bounce Outputs | Distributed GND pins and optimized output stage suppress ΔI/Δt-induced noise - maintains signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Hysteresis on All Inputs | 150 mV input threshold margin rejects sub-10 ns noise spikes - improves reliability in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
| Pb-Free & Green Packaging | RoHS-compliant SSOP (V) package with halogen-free molding compound - meets IPC-1752A and EU REACH requirements. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16T245DGGR | 3.3V-only I/O; no 5V-tolerant inputs - requires external clamping for 5V bus connection. | Limited to 3.3V↔3.3V or 3.3V↔lower-V applications; not suitable for direct 5V bus driving. | Select when interfacing only to 3.3V or lower-voltage peripherals and cost is primary constraint. |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing; no DIR pin - relies on bus activity for direction detection; higher propagation delay (up to 12 ns). | Suitable for I²C/SPI but not for high-speed parallel buses requiring deterministic direction control. | Select for low-pin-count, low-speed serial interfaces where DIR pin overhead must be avoided. |
Compared with SN74LVC16T245DGGR and TXB0108PWR, the PI74LPT16245AV uniquely supports true 5V-bus driving from 3.3V supply with deterministic DIR control and sub-5 ns propagation - essential for high-speed parallel memory and control bus applications.

FAQ
Can PI74LPT16245AV operate with a 2.5V supply?
No. The device is specified for VCC = 2.7V to 3.6V only. At 2.5V, VOH falls below 2.0V and VIH minimum drops below 2.0V, violating LVTTL logic thresholds. Operation outside this range risks unreliable switching and increased ICC.
What is the maximum data rate supported by PI74LPT16245AV?
Based on 4.1 ns max propagation delay (LPT16245C grade) and 0.5 ns max output skew, the device supports reliable operation up to 200 Mbps in point-to-point configurations. For multi-drop buses, derate to 125 Mbps to maintain timing margins under capacitive loading.
Does PI74LPT16245AV require external pull-up resistors on control pins?
No. All control inputs (xDIR, xOE) have built-in hysteresis and CMOS-compatible thresholds. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless system-level noise exceeds 150 mV - in which case 10 kΩ pull-ups to VCC are recommended per JEDEC JESD8-12.
How does PI74LPT16245AV handle bus contention during direction switching?
The device uses break-before-make logic internally: when xDIR changes state, outputs enter high-Z for ≥1.5 ns (tPZL/tPHZ min) before new direction activates. This prevents momentary short-circuits between A and B buses during transition.
