Product details
Overview
SN74ALVC16245DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting bus transceiver designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 16-bit buses operating at 2.3 V to 3.6 V supply voltage, featuring ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, bus-hold inputs eliminating external resistors, and operation across −40°C to 85°C - used in backplane interface and memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVC16245DGGR datasheet, SN74ALVC16245DGGR pinout, SN74ALVC16245DGGR application, or SN74ALVC16245DGGR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, dual-octal directional control logic, TSSOP-48 package details, thermal limits, and direct alternatives for industrial bus isolation and level-shifting designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVC16245DGGR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each with separate DIR (direction) and OE (output-enable) controls, enabling A→B or B→A data flow per section. Its EPIC™ submicron CMOS process ensures low propagation delay (≤3.6 ns at 3.3 V) and high noise immunity.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused inputs without external biasing; absolute maximum ratings include −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V I/O voltage range and ±50 mA output clamp current - critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 2.5 V and 3.3 V domains. |
| IOH/IOL | −24 mA / +24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives standard LVTTL loads with margin for fanout and trace capacitance. |
| tpd (Max) | 3.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - enables >100 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VCC = 3.0 V - maintains stable logic state on floating inputs without pull-up/down resistors. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature-grade PCB deployment. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - exceeds MIL-STD-883C and JEDEC JESD22-A114 requirements. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.85 W max at TA = 55°C (TSSOP-48) - defines thermal derating envelope for dense board layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow - enables independent bidirectional control of each octal bank. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable input (active-low) | High = outputs in high-impedance state - isolates both A and B buses simultaneously when asserted. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs | Connect to source bus; driven by DIR/OE logic - electrically identical to B-side pins but assigned to A-bus domain. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs | Connect to destination bus; direction determined by DIR - supports full 16-bit or split 8-bit transceiver modes. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Supply voltage | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise rejection across wide bus widths. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 45) | Ground reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all 16 drivers - essential for signal integrity at high edge rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for 32 external pullup/pulldown resistors in typical 16-bit bus interface, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Dual-octal architecture | Allows independent control of two 8-bit data paths via separate DIR/OE pins - supports asymmetric bus protocols and partial bus enablement. |
| EPIC™ submicron CMOS | Delivers 3.6 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V while maintaining 2.3 V minimum VCC - extends battery life in portable 2.5 V systems. |
| Hot-insertion tolerance | Clamp-current rating (±50 mA) and I/O voltage limit (VCC + 0.5 V) permit safe insertion into live backplanes without damaging adjacent devices. |
| Widebus™ family compatibility | Shares pinout and timing behavior with SN74ALVC16244/SN74ALVC16373 - simplifies design reuse across transceiver, latch, and buffer functions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lower drive strength (±24 mA only at VCC ≥ 3.0 V); no bus-hold; 1.65–3.6 V VCC range. | Lacks bus-hold - requires external biasing for floating inputs; better suited for cost-sensitive 1.8 V/3.3 V systems with controlled signal routing. | Select when bus-hold is unnecessary and lower static current (<10 µA ICC) is prioritized over floating-input robustness. |
| 74ALVCH16245DGG | Higher drive (±32 mA at 3.3 V); includes power-down mode (Ioff); same TSSOP-48 package and pinout. | Supports live insertion with Ioff protection - prevents current backflow when VCC = 0; ideal for hot-swap backplanes requiring zero-power isolation. | Choose for new designs requiring enhanced hot-swap safety and higher drive capability, accepting slightly higher quiescent current. |
Compared with SN74ALVC16245DGGR, SN74LVC16245ADGGR trades bus-hold for wider VCC range and lower ICC, while 74ALVCH16245DGG adds Ioff and higher drive at the cost of increased power consumption - all three share identical TSSOP-48 footprint and core transceiver functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74ALVC16245DGGR at 3.3 V?
The SN74ALVC16245DGGR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 3.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 50 pF, measured from input transition to valid output transition. This value is specified across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) and ensures reliable timing closure in high-speed 16-bit bus applications up to ~100 MHz toggle rate.
Does the SN74ALVC16245DGGR support hot-swap operation?
Yes, the SN74ALVC16245DGGR supports hot-swap operation due to its I/O voltage rating of −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V and ±50 mA output clamp current, which prevent damage during live insertion. However, it lacks explicit Ioff protection - for guaranteed zero-current backflow during VCC ramp-up/down, consider 74ALVCH16245DGG instead.
Can the SN74ALVC16245DGGR be used for level translation between 2.5 V and 3.3 V buses?
Yes, the SN74ALVC16245DGGR operates across 2.3 V to 3.6 V VCC and accepts input voltages from 0 V to VCC, making it suitable for bidirectional level translation between 2.5 V and 3.3 V domains. Its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC, ensuring compatible logic thresholds at both supply levels without external biasing.
How does the bus-hold feature work on the SN74ALVC16245DGGR?
The SN74ALVC16245DGGR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (A and B ports), providing ±75 µA holding current at VCC = 3.0 V to maintain the last-valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external pullup/pulldown resistors while consuming negligible additional current in steady state.
Is the SN74ALVC16245DGGR pin-compatible with other Widebus™ transceivers?
Yes, the SN74ALVC16245DGGR shares identical TSSOP-48 (DGG) pinout and functional mapping with SN74ALVC16244 (octal buffer) and SN74ALVC16373 (16-bit latch) within TI's Widebus™ family - enabling drop-in substitution in existing layouts where function matches, provided direction-control and clocking logic are adapted accordingly.
