Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT16245DLR 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 SN74AHCT16245DLR datasheet, SN74AHCT16245DLR pinout, SN74AHCT16245DLR application, or SN74AHCT16245DLR equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-directional 3-state control per octet, -40°C to +125°C operating range, flow-through pinout for PCB routing optimization, and compatibility with 3.3 V logic driving 5 V buses.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT16245DLR implements two independent 8-bit transceivers, each with dedicated DIR and OE controls (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), enabling simultaneous or staggered A↔B data transfer. Its CMOS design features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs and balanced push-pull outputs with 3-state capability.
It uses distributed VCC/GND pins (10 total) to suppress switching noise, supports up-translation from 3.3 V to 5 V logic domains, and incorporates slow-edge-rate outputs to minimize ringing on lightly loaded buses - critical for motor drive interface and telecom backplane integrity.
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 timing in 100+ MHz bus systems with margin. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL) - sufficient for driving multiple CMOS loads without external buffers in mid-density interfaces. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - guarantees interoperability with legacy TTL and 3.3 V LVTTL logic sources. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives. |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 1500 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for robust handling in manufacturing environments. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | Cpd = 17 pF - enables low dynamic power consumption (<1 mW at 1 MHz, no load). |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT16245DLR uses SSOP-48 (DL) package, 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm body, 0.635 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads and exposed thermal pad not present. Pin 1 located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant), marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH selects A→B data flow; LOW selects B→A - enables synchronous bidirectional bus arbitration. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW disables both A and B ports of respective octet into high-impedance state - isolates buses during reset or standby. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data port A (octet 1 & 2) | Input/output terminals for first and second 8-bit bus segment - flow-through layout minimizes trace crossovers. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Data port B (octet 1 & 2) | Input/output terminals for mirrored bus segment - symmetric pin assignment simplifies differential routing. |
| VCC (pins 7,18,31,42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and high-frequency impedance - critical for noise-sensitive telecom interfaces. |
| GND (pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and improve PSRR - essential for clean signal integrity in mixed-signal systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts 3.3 V logic levels while powered from 5 V - eliminates level-shifter ICs in mixed-voltage backplanes. |
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides - enables straight PCB traces, reducing stub length and EMI radiation. |
| Distributed power/ground | 4×VCC + 8×GND pins - lowers simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by >6 dB versus single-supply alternatives. |
| Slow-edge-rate outputs | Controlled slew rate limits dV/dt - suppresses overshoot/undershoot on 50 Ω transmission lines in motor drive gate drivers. |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during hot-plug or transient overvoltage events in field-replaceable modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADLR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 3.3 V only; 5.5 ns faster tPD but lower drive (±24 mA vs ±8 mA) | Not suitable for 5 V systems; requires level shifting when interfacing with 5 V peripherals | Select when full 3.3 V system integration is required and 5 V compatibility is unnecessary |
| 74ALVC16245PW,118 | NXP variant; identical pinout and function but different thermal metrics (RθJA = 65°C/W vs 61°C/W for DL) | Same industrial temperature range; slightly higher junction-to-ambient resistance affects derating above 85°C | Valid alternative for space-constrained SSOP layouts where TI stock lead times exceed 12 weeks |
Compared with SN74AHCT16245DLR, SN74LVC16245ADLR sacrifices 5 V compatibility for speed and lower voltage operation, while 74ALVC16245PW,118 offers identical functionality with minor thermal trade-offs - making SN74AHCT16245DLR optimal for mixed-voltage industrial backplanes requiring guaranteed 5 V interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74AHCT16245DLR?
The SN74AHCT16245DLR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and supported by thermal metrics including RθJA = 61.0°C/W in SSOP-48 package. This rating applies across all recommended operating conditions and is documented in Section 7.3 of the official datasheet.
Does SN74AHCT16245DLR support 3.3 V logic inputs while powered at 5 V?
Yes, SN74AHCT16245DLR supports TTL-compatible inputs with VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V, allowing direct connection to 3.3 V logic sources while operating at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This enables seamless 3.3 V-to-5 V up-translation without external level shifters, as confirmed in Section 9.3 and Table 7.3 of the datasheet.
How many independent transceiver channels does SN74AHCT16245DLR provide?
SN74AHCT16245DLR provides two independent 8-bit transceiver channels (octets), each with dedicated direction (1DIR/2DIR) and output-enable (1OE/2OE) controls. This allows simultaneous or asynchronous bidirectional communication between two 8-bit bus segments, as detailed in the functional block diagram (Figure 4) and function table (Table 1).
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND pins on SN74AHCT16245DLR?
SN74AHCT16245DLR features four VCC and eight GND pins to minimize simultaneous switching noise and reduce power distribution impedance. This distributed power architecture improves PSRR and signal integrity in high-speed bus applications, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section and verified in thermal and noise characterization data (Sections 7.4 and 7.7).
Can SN74AHCT16245DLR be used in hot-swap applications?
SN74AHCT16245DLR supports controlled hot-swap operation when OE is held HIGH (disabled) during insertion, preventing bus contention. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V) and latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17) further enhance robustness - however, external current-limiting and sequencing circuitry is still recommended per TI Application Report SCBA004.
