Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16543DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses or as a single 16-bit transceiver. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, features bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, and supports independent A-to-B and B-to-A control via dedicated latch-enable (LEAB/LEBA) and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) pins. It is used in high-density memory interface and backplane buffer applications requiring level translation and register synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16543DL datasheet, SN74ALVCH16543DL pinout, SN74ALVCH16543DL application, or SN74ALVCH16543DL equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual 8-bit register architecture, 3.6 V absolute maximum supply rating, -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, bus-hold input retention, and SSOP-56 (DL) package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVCH16543DL implements two independent 8-bit registered transceiver sections-A-to-B and B-to-A-each with separate CE, LE, and OE controls. Its EPIC™ submicron CMOS process enables low-voltage operation while maintaining TTL-compatible thresholds across 1.65–3.6 V VCC.
Each direction uses transparent latching: when CE is low and LE transitions low-to-high, data is captured; OE then enables 3-state outputs. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused A/B port inputs without external resistors, eliminating floating-input risks in hot-swap or partial-population scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and communications equipment. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±25 µA to ±75 µA - Actively holds floating A/B port inputs at valid logic states, removing need for external pullup/pulldown resistors. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3 V - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with ≤6.5 ns propagation delay, supporting high-speed bus buffering. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 0.65×VCC (min), VIL = 0.35×VCC (max) - Ensures robust noise margin across full VCC range. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±10 µA at 3.6 V - Minimizes standby current in disabled output mode, critical for low-power system states. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.3 ns to 6.5 ns (typical, VCC = 2.5–3.3 V) - Supports >100 MHz data rates in synchronous bus interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVCH16543DL is housed in a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 13.9 mm × 7.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is marked in top-left corner per JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers per 8-bit section; must be low to enable B or A outputs respectively. |
| 1LEAB, 2LEAB, 1LEBA, 2LEBA | Latch Enable (active-low) | When low and CE low, latches are transparent; rising edge stores data into registers for synchronized output. |
| 1CEAB, 2CEAB, 1CEBA, 2CEBA | Chip Enable (active-low) | Gates data flow: CE must be low for either capture (LE active) or output (OE active) in respective direction. |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (x2 sections) | Bidirectional Data Ports | Two independent 8-bit I/O banks; each pin functions as input or output depending on direction control signals. |
| VCC, GND (x8 total) | Power Distribution | Dedicated power/ground pairs per functional quadrant reduce switching noise and improve signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all A/B port pins, reducing BOM count and PCB area in sparse-bus or test-point configurations. |
| Independent Dual-Section Control | Separate CE/LE/OE per 8-bit channel allows asymmetric data flow-e.g., A→B latched while B→A is transparent-enabling flexible protocol bridging. |
| High-Noise-Immunity Thresholds | Input voltage thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 0.65×VCC), ensuring reliable operation across mixed-voltage systems without recalibration. |
| Hot-Swap Safe Outputs | 3-state outputs enter high-impedance state during power-up/down when OE is tied to VCC via pullup resistor, preventing bus contention. |
| ESD Robustness | Exceeds 2000 V HBM and 200 V machine model-validated for handling in automated assembly and field-replaceable module environments. |
Applications
| Memory Interface Buffering | Backplane Data Multiplexing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16543DGGR | TSSOP-56 (DGG) package; 2.4 mm width vs. DL's 7.4 mm; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Suitable for high-density PCBs where footprint area is constrained but height budget allows TSSOP. | Select DGGR for automated placement efficiency and thermal performance; DL preferred for legacy SSOP tooling and mechanical compatibility. |
| SN74LVCH16543DL | Lower drive strength (±12 mA vs. ±24 mA); higher VOL/VOH thresholds; same pinout and package. | Better suited for ultra-low-power systems where 3.3 V operation is not required and reduced speed is acceptable. | Choose LVCH variant only if system load capacitance is <30 pF and timing margin exceeds 8 ns; ALVCH remains optimal for full-speed 3.3 V buses. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16543DGGR and SN74LVCH16543DL, the SN74ALVCH16543DL delivers highest output drive and widest VCC range in the SSOP-56 form factor-making it the default choice for industrial backplanes and memory interfaces requiring robust 3.3 V operation and mechanical backward compatibility.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH16543DL to avoid bus contention?
TI specifies that OE pins must be held high (via pullup to VCC) during power-up and power-down to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state. For SN74ALVCH16543DL, connect each OEAB/OEBA pin to VCC through a 10-kΩ resistor. This prevents unintended driver activation before control logic stabilizes, eliminating risk of bus conflict in multi-device systems.
Does SN74ALVCH16543DL support hot-swap insertion while powered?
Yes-SN74ALVCH16543DL incorporates design features enabling safe hot-swap: its 3-state outputs enter high-Z when OE is high, and bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic levels on floating inputs. When inserted into a live backplane, the device avoids injecting noise or contention, provided OE pins are externally pulled up and VCC ramp rate meets TI's 100 ms max recommendation.
Can SN74ALVCH16543DL operate reliably at 1.65 V VCC with full timing specifications?
Yes-SN74ALVCH16543DL is fully characterized down to 1.65 V. At this minimum VCC, propagation delay increases to 6.5 ns (vs. 4.3 ns at 3.3 V), and output drive drops to ±4 mA, but all AC/DC parameters-including setup/hold times and bus-hold current-meet datasheet limits across -40°C to 85°C. No derating is required.
How does bus-hold functionality work on SN74ALVCH16543DL, and what is its effective holding current?
SN74ALVCH16543DL uses internal feedback transistors to weakly reinforce the last-valid logic state on each A/B port input. Holding current ranges from ±25 µA at 1.65 V to ±75 µA at 3.0 V-sufficient to counteract typical PCB leakage (<1 µA) and EMI-induced noise without loading the driving source. No external components are needed.
Is SN74ALVCH16543DL pin-compatible with older 74-series transceivers like SN74ACT16543?
No-SN74ALVCH16543DL is not pin-compatible with SN74ACT16543. While both are 16-bit registered transceivers, ACT16543 uses a 56-pin SOIC package with different pin assignments (e.g., VCC/GND distribution, control signal placement). The SN74ALVCH16543DL pinout is unique to the ALVCH family and matches only SN74ALVCH16543 variants in DL/DGG packages.
