Product details
Overview
SN74ABTH16245DLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for synchronous two-way data bus communication between A and B buses. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C ambient, delivers ±32-mA high-drive outputs, and features integrated bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull resistors - used in industrial backplane interfaces and legacy parallel bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABTH16245DLG4 datasheet, SN74ABTH16245DLG4 pinout, SN74ABTH16245DLG4 application, or SN74ABTH16245DLG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, dual 8-bit directional control (DIR), output-enable (OE) isolation timing, and high-noise-immunity EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process.
Technical Context
The SN74ABTH16245DLG4 implements a flow-through pin architecture with distributed VCC/GND pairs to minimize switching noise. Its dual-section design allows independent 8-bit A↔B or B↔A data routing per DIR input logic level, while OE enables full 16-bit 3-state isolation.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on floating data inputs without external components. The device enters high-impedance state during power-up/down when VCC is below 2.1 V, and supports TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage backplane systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH, +64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and long traces without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.4 ns (typ) - supports high-speed parallel bus operation up to ~100 MHz system clock domains. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 µA at VI = 0.8 V / 2.0 V - eliminates need for 4.7-kΩ pull-up/down resistors on unused data lines. |
| Power-Up State | High-impedance when VCC < 2.1 V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing. |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - protects against transient overvoltage events on control/data pins. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABTH16245DLG4 uses a 48-pin Plastic Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, 1.2-mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low enable: OE = L activates outputs; OE = H forces all outputs to high-impedance state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A Data Inputs/Outputs | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data terminals connected to local bus side (e.g., microcontroller interface). |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B Data Inputs/Outputs | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data terminals connected to remote bus side (e.g., peripheral or memory bus). |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power Supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity across wide bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground Reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and enhance signal integrity for high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS Process | Reduces dynamic power dissipation vs. standard bipolar TTL while retaining drive strength and noise margin. |
| Flow-Through Pinout | Minimizes PCB trace crossovers and layer count in dense backplane routing layouts. |
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | Eliminates 16 external pull resistors - reduces BOM cost, board area, and assembly complexity. |
| Distributed Power/Ground | Four VCC and five GND pins suppress ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) and improve EMI performance. |
| Power-Up/Down High-Z | Prevents bus contention during supply ramping - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Parallel Peripheral Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16245DGGR | Same function, TSSOP-48 (DGG) package; 8.6 mm × 3.9 mm footprint vs. DL's 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm. | Preferred where board space is constrained and reflow soldering is used; slightly higher θJA (89°C/W vs. 94°C/W). | Select for compact layouts and automated assembly; verify thermal derating in sealed enclosures. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), no bus-hold; CMOS process, not BiCMOS. | Suitable for 3.3-V-only systems; requires external pull resistors; incompatible with 5-V bus domains. | Choose only for new 3.3-V designs; not a drop-in replacement for SN74ABTH16245DLG4 in mixed-voltage or legacy 5-V environments. |
Compared with SN74ABT16245DGGR and SN74LVC16245ADGGR, the SN74ABTH16245DLG4 uniquely combines 5-V tolerance, integrated bus-hold, high-current drive, and SSOP packaging optimized for through-hole prototyping and industrial repairability - making it the preferred choice for maintaining legacy 5-V parallel infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74ABTH16245DLG4?
The SN74ABTH16245DLG4 is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, test equipment, and outdoor embedded systems where ambient conditions exceed commercial limits. The device does not support the extended military range (–55°C to +125°C) specified for the SN54ABTH16245 variant.
Does SN74ABTH16245DLG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on data lines?
No, SN74ABTH16245DLG4 includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, providing ±100 µA holding current to maintain valid logic levels on floating or unused pins. This eliminates the need for external 4.7-kΩ pull resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area - a confirmed feature documented in the SCBS662I datasheet Section 1.
What package type is used by SN74ABTH16245DLG4?
SN74ABTH16245DLG4 uses the SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with designation DL - a 48-pin, 0.5-mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm body size, JEDEC MO-153 compliant package. It is distinct from the TSSOP (DGG) and TVSOP (DGV) variants and is supplied in tube packaging (25 units per tube).
How does the direction-control logic work on SN74ABTH16245DLG4?
SN74ABTH16245DLG4 has two independent DIR inputs (1DIR and 2DIR) controlling separate 8-bit sections. When DIR = LOW, data flows from B-port to A-port; when DIR = HIGH, data flows from A-port to B-port. This per-section control enables flexible partitioning - e.g., using one section for address and another for data - without requiring external logic.
Can SN74ABTH16245DLG4 be used in 3.3-V systems?
No, SN74ABTH16245DLG4 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation and is not guaranteed to function correctly at 3.3 V. Its input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5-V TTL compatibility. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends SN74LVC16245A or similar LVC-family devices.
