Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT16245DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting 3-state bus transceiver in SSOP-48 package, operating at 4.5–5.5 V, with 8 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF), ±8 mA output drive, and TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V). It enables bidirectional data flow between A and B buses in telecom infrastructure backplanes and industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT16245DL datasheet, SN74AHCT16245DL pinout, SN74AHCT16245DL application, or SN74AHCT16245DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-directional 3-state control architecture, guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C, input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V, and compatibility with both 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains in mixed-voltage system interfaces.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT16245DL implements two independent 8-bit transceivers sharing common direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls per side. Each transceiver uses CMOS circuitry with balanced push-pull outputs and TTL-level input thresholds, enabling reliable level translation from 3.3 V to 5 V without external biasing.
Its flow-through pinout-A-side pins on one edge, B-side on the opposite-minimizes PCB trace crossovers. Distributed VCC/GND pins (10 total) reduce switching noise, while latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD17, supporting robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay | 8.5 ns max (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 15 pF) - Enables reliable 100+ MHz bus timing in synchronous data transfer. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL) - Sufficient for driving 50-pF loads across 10-cm traces without signal integrity degradation. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and 3.3-V CMOS outputs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive, and telecom base station applications. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 17 pF (Cpd) - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal modeling in dense PCB layouts. |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 1500 V - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level ESD immunity during handling and assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT16245DL uses SSOP-48 (DL package), body size 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm, with 0.635 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant), marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Controls data flow direction: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B; critical for half-duplex bus arbitration. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Drives all associated A/B I/O pins into high-impedance state when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side bidirectional I/O | Connect to microcontroller or FPGA data bus; driven by DIR/OE logic to transmit or receive. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side bidirectional I/O | Interface to peripheral bus (e.g., sensor array, display controller); electrically isolated when OE = H. |
| VCC (Pins 7,18,31,42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins minimize IR drop and supply noise; requires local 0.1 µF bypass per pin. |
| GND (Pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths; essential for maintaining signal integrity at >20 MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Eliminates need for level-shifter ICs when interfacing legacy 5-V TTL peripherals. |
| Flow-through pinout | A- and B-side I/O arranged on opposing edges - Reduces layer count and vias in high-density PCB routing. |
| Distributed power/ground | 4× VCC + 8× GND pins - Lowers simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by >6 dB versus single-supply alternatives. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - Safely interfaces with hot-swap or mixed-rail systems where voltage sequencing is uncontrolled. |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - Prevents destructive failure during transient overcurrent events in motor drive I/O stages. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHCT16245DL?
The SN74AHCT16245DL is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108. This specification applies to the SSOP-48 (DL) package variant and is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official datasheet (SCLS335K, Rev K).
Does SN74AHCT16245DL support 3.3-V input logic levels?
Yes, SN74AHCT16245DL accepts 3.3-V logic inputs reliably due to its TTL-compatible thresholds: VIL = 0.8 V (max) and VIH = 2.0 V (min). Its inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, making it ideal for translating signals from 3.3-V microcontrollers to 5-V peripheral buses without external level shifters.
Is SN74AHCT16245DL pin-compatible with other 16-bit transceivers in the same package?
No-SN74AHCT16245DL has a unique flow-through pinout optimized for minimal PCB trace crossovers. While physically identical to other SSOP-48 transceivers (e.g., SN74LVC16245A), its pin mapping differs significantly: DIR/OE controls are placed centrally, and A/B I/O groups are segregated on opposite edges. Direct replacement requires schematic and layout verification.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor configuration for SN74AHCT16245DL?
TI recommends placing a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near each of the four VCC pins (7, 18, 31, 42) of SN74AHCT16245DL, with shortest possible trace length (<2 mm) to GND. For systems with high-frequency noise, paralleling with a 1 µF tantalum or X7R MLCC further suppresses broadband supply ripple, as specified in Section 11 of the datasheet.
Can SN74AHCT16245DL be used in hot-swap applications?
SN74AHCT16245DL supports controlled hot-swap operation due to its overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V) and high-impedance 3-state outputs. However, OE must be held high (disabled) during insertion until VCC stabilizes, and external series resistors (10–22 Ω) on I/O lines are recommended to limit inrush current and prevent bus contention during transition.
