Product details
Overview
SN74ABTH16245DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for synchronous two-way data communication between A and B buses in high-speed digital systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –32-mA high-drive IOH and 64-mA IOL, features bus-hold on all data inputs, and maintains high-impedance state during power up/down (VCC < 2.1 V). It is used in industrial backplane interfaces and memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABTH16245DL datasheet, SN74ABTH16245DL pinout, SN74ABTH16245DL application, or SN74ABTH16245DL equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional 16-bit data flow control, 3-state isolation timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 6.4 ns), bus-hold functionality eliminating external resistors, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74ABTH16245DL implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit transceiver logic using EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process, enabling low-power, high-noise-immunity operation. Its DIR input selects direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables both ports simultaneously into high-impedance state.
It integrates distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through pin architecture to minimize switching noise and optimize PCB routing. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused A/B port inputs without external components, and output ground bounce (VOLP) remains below 1 V at 5 V and 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS logic rails and stable operation across industrial temperature range. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - provides robust signal integrity driving heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns (max) - supports >250-MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded configurations. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 µA at VI = 0.8 V or 2 V - eliminates need for pullup/pulldown resistors on floating data lines, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Power-Up State | High-impedance when VCC < 2.1 V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 94°C/W (DL package) - defines maximum junction temperature rise under typical PCB copper area, guiding thermal design for continuous operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABTH16245DL uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.4 mm × 6.1 mm body, and 1.2-mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 identifier is marked in top-left corner of package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction: DIR = L enables B→A; DIR = H enables A→B - allows independent or synchronized 8-bit channel operation. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Drives both A and B ports into high-impedance state when high - enables bus isolation and hot-swap capability. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs | Bi-directional I/O pins for first and second 8-bit bus segment - share same electrical characteristics and timing behavior as B-side pins. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs | Bi-directional I/O pins mirroring A-side functionality - full 16-bit path established when DIR and OE are asserted appropriately. |
| VCC, GND | Power and ground terminals | Distributed across package (12× VCC, 12× GND) - reduces simultaneous switching noise and improves signal integrity at high frequencies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed with CMOS low static power - achieves 3.4 ns typical propagation delay while holding ICC < 32 mA under full load. |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides of package - simplifies layer routing, minimizes trace crossovers, and reduces parasitic inductance in dense PCB layouts. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Active retention of last valid logic state on floating A/B inputs - removes requirement for 10-kΩ external pull resistors, saving board space and assembly cost. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Multiple power/ground pairs interleaved across pin rows - lowers impedance of power delivery network and suppresses ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V). |
| Power-up/power-down isolation | Automatic high-Z state when VCC is below 2.1 V - prevents metastability or contention during brown-out or staggered supply ramp-up sequences. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADLR | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (–24/+24 mA), no bus-hold | Requires level-shifting for 5-V systems; lacks passive input retention - needs external biasing | Select when migrating to 3.3-V infrastructure and external pull resistors are acceptable. |
| SN74ABT16245DGGR | Same electrical specs but TSSOP-48 (DGG) package; θJA = 89°C/W vs. DL's 94°C/W | Higher thermal efficiency and finer pitch; requires updated footprint and stencil design | Prefer for new designs prioritizing thermal performance and automated assembly compatibility. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADLR and SN74ABT16245DGGR, the SN74ABTH16245DL uniquely delivers 5-V operation with integrated bus-hold and SSOP-48 mechanical compatibility - making it optimal for industrial retrofits and mixed-voltage backplanes where layout reuse and input stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74ABTH16245DL?
The SN74ABTH16245DL does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns) and enable/disable times (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6.4 ns) support reliable operation at bus toggle rates exceeding 250 MHz under typical 50-pF load conditions. Actual system frequency depends on trace length, termination, and fanout - verified timing margins must be calculated per application.
Does the SN74ABTH16245DL require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data lines?
No, the SN74ABTH16245DL includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, which maintains the last valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB real estate - a confirmed feature documented in the SCBS662I datasheet Section 1.
Can the SN74ABTH16245DL be used in systems with mixed 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
The SN74ABTH16245DL is specified for 4.5–5.5 V operation only and is not 3.3-V compatible. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, but it cannot be powered from 3.3 V. For mixed-domain interfacing, use level-shifting transceivers like SN74AVC16T245 or pair SN74ABTH16245DL with discrete level translators - confirmed by absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions in the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABTH16245DL in its SSOP-DL package?
The SN74ABTH16245DL has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 94°C/W in the SSOP-DL package, measured per JESD 51 standards on a standard JEDEC test board. This value assumes typical PCB copper area and guides thermal derating calculations for continuous operation at full output drive and ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
How does the SN74ABTH16245DL behave during power-up and power-down sequences?
When VCC is between 0 V and 2.1 V, the SN74ABTH16245DL automatically enters a high-impedance state on all I/O pins - preventing bus contention during power ramp-up or brown-out. Above 2.1 V, OE must be actively controlled (e.g., pulled high via resistor) to guarantee isolation, as stated in the functional description and recommended operating conditions of the SCBS662I datasheet.
