Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT16540DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with dual 3-state control (OE1/OE2), TTL-compatible inputs, and flow-through pinout in 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) package. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive, supports 15 pF load propagation delays as low as 1 ns (tPLH/tPHL), and is rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range - used in wide-data-path bus interfacing between FPGAs and memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT16540DGGR datasheet, SN74AHCT16540DGGR pinout, SN74AHCT16540DGGR application, or SN74AHCT16540DGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent 3-state enable logic, distributed VCC/GND pins for noise suppression, EPIC™ process latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and compatibility with legacy TTL-level control signals in high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT16540DGGR implements two independent 8-bit noninverting buffer sections, each with a 2-input AND gate enabling logic (active-low OE1/OE2). Outputs enter high-impedance state if either OE input is high - enabling flexible bus arbitration. Its flow-through architecture places inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side, minimizing trace crossovers.
Distributed VCC and GND pins (12 total: 6 VCC, 6 GND) reduce simultaneous switching noise; inputs tolerate TTL voltage thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V); and ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (HBM) and 200 V (MM). The device uses TI's EPIC™ implanted CMOS process for enhanced speed-power trade-off.
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 tolerates supply droop during transient loading. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads at ≤10 ns propagation delay while maintaining VOH ≥ 3.8 V and VOL ≤ 0.44 V. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns (min), 9.5 ns (max) at 15 pF - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~100 MHz. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - allows direct interface with legacy 74LS/74ALS logic without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control, PLC I/O modules, and instrumentation. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 pre-compliance requirements for board-level handling robustness. |

Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT16540DGGR is housed in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, DGG), 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.5 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Active-low 3-state enable inputs (2 per 8-bit section) | AND-gated control: either OE high forces all 8 corresponding outputs into high-Z - supports independent bus segment gating. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Noninverting data inputs | Accept TTL-compatible signals; internally buffered with EPIC™ CMOS for low skew and high noise margin. |
| 1Y1–1Y8, 2Y1–2Y8 | Noninverting 3-state outputs | Drive bidirectional buses; output impedance >100 kΩ in disabled state to prevent contention. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 34, 41, 46) | Power supply | Distributed across package to minimize IR drop and simultaneous switching noise in high-frequency operation. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 22, 31, 37) | Ground reference | Paired with VCC pins to form local power/ground loops - critical for signal integrity in dense routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Inputs on left (1–24), outputs on right (25–48) - eliminates layer jumps and reduces crosstalk in 16-bit parallel bus layout. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Two 2-input AND gates (OE1/OE2 per section) - enables selective isolation of upper/lower byte without external logic. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | 6 VCC + 6 GND pins interleaved across body - lowers AC impedance and suppresses ground bounce in multi-bit switching. |
| TTL-input compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V - interoperates with 74LS, microcontroller GPIOs, and FPGA I/O banks configured for 5-V tolerant mode. |
| EPIC™ process technology | Implanted CMOS with enhanced speed/power ratio - achieves 1 ns min tPLH while limiting ICC to 40 µA at 5.5 V static. |
Applications
| Memory Bus Interface | FPGA-to-ASIC Data Bridge |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing SRAM or Flash memory with a microcontroller having limited drive strength on its data/address bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional buffer isolating memory bus segments; provides level translation and fanout amplification while enabling bus sharing via 3-state control. Use Value: Enables clean signal integrity on 16-bit parallel buses up to 100 MHz with <1 ns channel-to-channel skew and no external pull-ups required on OE lines when tied to VCC. | Use Scenario: Connecting an FPGA's general-purpose I/O bank to an ASIC requiring strict 5-V TTL signaling and precise timing alignment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting bus driver ensuring setup/hold compliance; dual OE control synchronizes data valid windows across byte lanes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT16244DGGR | Noninverting, but with individual 3-state control per channel (16x OE) instead of dual 8-bit groups. | Better suited for fine-grained bus arbitration where per-line enable is required; higher pin count for control logic. | Choose SN74AHCT16244DGGR when independent gating of each of 16 lines is needed - not for grouped byte enable. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), higher speed (tPD ≤ 5.2 ns), but not TTL-input compatible. | Requires level-shifting for 5-V systems; optimized for modern low-voltage FPGAs and SoCs, not legacy TTL buses. | Choose SN74LVC16244ADGGR only in new 3.3-V designs with no TTL interface requirement - incompatible with 5-V control signals. |
Compared with SN74AHCT16244DGGR and SN74LVC16244ADGGR, the SN74AHCT16540DGGR uniquely balances 5-V TTL compatibility, grouped 8-bit 3-state control, and industrial temperature rating - making it irreplaceable in upgrades of legacy industrial controllers without board rework.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74AHCT16540DGGR to avoid bus contention?
TI recommends tying both OE1 and OE2 to VCC through a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) during power-up and power-down. This ensures all outputs remain in high-impedance state until system logic asserts valid control - preventing glitches or contention on shared buses. The SN74AHCT16540DGGR does not include internal power-on reset, so external OE biasing is mandatory for safe initialization.
Does SN74AHCT16540DGGR support hot-swap operation?
The SN74AHCT16540DGGR features latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17 and ESD protection >2000 V HBM, making it robust against transient faults during live insertion. However, it lacks dedicated hot-swap control circuitry (e.g., slew-rate limiting or current limiting), so external current-limiting resistors or dedicated hot-swap controllers are advised when inserting into powered backplanes. The SN74AHCT16540DGGR itself will survive brief overcurrent events but should not be relied upon as a standalone hot-swap solution.
Can SN74AHCT16540DGGR drive a 50-pF load at 50 MHz?
Yes - the SN74AHCT16540DGGR guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.5 ns and tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 13 ns into 50-pF loads at VCC = 5 V, supporting reliable operation up to ~50 MHz clocked bus systems. Measured noise characteristics (VOL(P) ≤ 0.7 V, VOH(V) ≥ 4.5 V) confirm signal margins remain adequate under dynamic loading. For sustained 50-MHz operation, ensure proper decoupling (0.1 µF ceramic per VCC pin) and controlled-impedance routing per TI's DGG package layout guidelines.
How are the dual OE inputs (OE1/OE2) logically combined in SN74AHCT16540DGGR?
In the SN74AHCT16540DGGR, each 8-bit section uses a 2-input AND gate with active-low inputs: outputs go high-impedance if *either* OE1 or OE2 is high. Both must be low for outputs to be enabled. This OR-of-active-lows logic simplifies bus arbitration - e.g., one OE can be system-wide disable, the other local peripheral select. The function table explicitly confirms "H X → Z" and "X H → Z", confirming the behavior is implemented in silicon, not external logic.
Is SN74AHCT16540DGGR pin-compatible with SN74AHCT16541DGGR?
No - the SN74AHCT16540DGGR is a noninverting buffer, while SN74AHCT16541DGGR is its inverting counterpart. Though both share identical pinout, package (DGG-48), and electrical specs, their logic functions differ fundamentally: SN74AHCT16541DGGR inverts input-to-output polarity. Substituting one for the other without logic inversion elsewhere in the design will cause functional failure. Always verify signal polarity requirements before interchange.
