Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT16245DLG4 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 industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT16245DLG4 datasheet, SN74AHCT16245DLG4 pinout, SN74AHCT16245DLG4 application, or SN74AHCT16245DLG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state isolation timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 15 ns), dual independent direction control (1DIR/2DIR), separate output enables (1OE/2OE), and operation across –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT16245DLG4 implements two independent 8-bit transceivers sharing no internal logic coupling-each with dedicated DIR and OE pins. Its CMOS design uses balanced output drivers with slow edge rates (Δt/Δv ≥ 20 ns/V) to suppress ringing on unterminated PCB traces.
Each transceiver supports bidirectional translation: when DIR = L, data flows B→A; when DIR = H, data flows A→B; OE = H forces high-impedance on all I/Os. Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling 3.3 V-to-5 V level shifting without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and margin for ripple. |
| Propagation Delay | 8.5 ns typ (CL = 15 pF) - Enables reliable 100+ MHz bus handshaking in synchronous systems. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <12 ns delay while limiting ground bounce. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Matches TTL logic levels, allowing direct interface with legacy microcontrollers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH = 14 ns max (CL = 50 pF) - Guarantees clean bus arbitration in multi-master systems. |
| Power Dissipation | Cpd = 17 pF - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal budgeting in dense layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT16245DLG4 is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm body size, gull-wing leads, and exposed pad-less construction. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant), with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH selects A→B data flow; LOW selects B→A - enables independent bus routing per octet. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW disables outputs to high-Z - allows hot-swap isolation and bus contention avoidance. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A I/O | Octet A side signals - connect to microcontroller or ASIC data bus; bidirectional per DIR state. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B I/O | Octet B side signals - interface to peripheral bus or memory subsystem; electrically isolated when OE = H. |
| VCC (Pins 7,18,31,42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize switching noise and improve PSRR across wide frequency range. |
| GND (Pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths - critical for EMI suppression in high-speed digital systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V - eliminates need for level-shifter ICs when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs driving 5 V buses. |
| Flow-through pinout | A/B ports arranged linearly (e.g., 1A1–1A8 left, 1B1–1B8 right) - reduces trace crossovers and simplifies 4-layer PCB routing. |
| Distributed power/ground | Four VCC + eight GND pins - lowers simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by >6 dB compared to single-supply packages. |
| Slow-edge outputs | Δt/Δv ≥ 20 ns/V - suppresses overshoot/undershoot on FR-4 traces up to 10 cm without termination resistors. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events in industrial environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHCT16245DLG4?
The SN74AHCT16245DLG4 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, validated per Recommended Operating Conditions in the official datasheet. This makes SN74AHCT16245DLG4 suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments without forced cooling.
Does SN74AHCT16245DLG4 support 3.3 V logic inputs?
Yes, SN74AHCT16245DLG4 accepts 3.3 V logic inputs reliably because its VIH threshold is 2 V and VIL is 0.8 V - both compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS/TTL output levels. The device also tolerates input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling safe 3.3 V-to-5 V translation.
How many independent transceivers does SN74AHCT16245DLG4 contain?
SN74AHCT16245DLG4 contains two fully independent 8-bit transceivers (labeled "1" and "2"), each with dedicated direction (1DIR/2DIR) and output-enable (1OE/2OE) controls. They share no internal logic coupling, allowing simultaneous A↔B and C↔D data transfers on the same die.
What package type is used for SN74AHCT16245DLG4?
SN74AHCT16245DLG4 uses an SSOP-48 (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm body size, gull-wing leads, and pin 1 in quadrant Q1. This package is distinct from TSSOP (DGG) and TVSOP (DGV) variants and is specified in TI's orderable addendum as active production.
Can SN74AHCT16245DLG4 be used for unidirectional data transfer?
Yes, SN74AHCT16245DLG4 supports unidirectional operation: fix DIR to HIGH for A→B only, or LOW for B→A only, while using OE to gate data flow. Its dual-octet architecture allows one set of 8 bits to operate unidirectionally while the other handles bidirectional traffic - a capability confirmed in the Function Table (Table 1) of the datasheet.
