Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16952DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between two 16-bit buses (A and B) in 1.65-V to 3.6-V systems. It features dual 8-bit register sets, bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, and independent clock-enable and output-enable controls per direction. It is used in high-speed board-level interconnects such as memory expansion, FPGA-to-ASIC bridging, and backplane interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16952DGGR datasheet, SN74ALVCH16952DGGR pinout, SN74ALVCH16952DGGR application, or SN74ALVCH16952DGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC operating range (1.65–3.6 V), clock frequency up to 150 MHz, bus-hold input retention, 56-pin TSSOP (DGG) package, and -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVCH16952DGGR implements two independent 8-bit D-type flip-flop banks-one for A→B and one for B→A data flow-each synchronized to its own clock (CLKAB/CLKBA) and enabled by dedicated clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA) and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Data is latched on the low-to-high transition of the respective clock when its clock-enable is low.
Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains unused data inputs at valid logic levels without external pullup/pulldown resistors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. All control inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states, and OE should be pulled up to VCC during power-up/down to ensure 3-state default behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 1.8-V FPGA to 3.3-V peripheral). |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-throughput data transfer in synchronous bus architectures. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±25 µA to ±75 µA (depending on VCC) - sustains stable logic state on un-driven A/B port inputs without external resistors. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1 ns (min) to 4.6 ns (max) - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed register-to-register paths. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads across PCB traces or multiple CMOS inputs. |
| Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 3.5 pF (control), Cio = 8.5 pF (data ports) - minimizes signal integrity degradation in dense routing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVCH16952DGGR uses a 56-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP-DGG), 13.9 mm × 7.9 mm × 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers for corresponding A↔B data channels; OE tied high disables outputs to high-Z. |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB, 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Clock Input (rising-edge triggered) | Latches data from A to B (CLKAB) or B to A (CLKBA); requires synchronous edge alignment with CLKEN. |
| 1CLKENAB, 2CLKENAB, 1CLKENBA, 2CLKENBA | Clock Enable (active-low) | Gates clock sampling - data only latched when CLKEN is low; allows gated register updates. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8, 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Data I/O Ports | Two 8-bit bidirectional data buses (A and B); each port supports bus-hold on all pins. |
| VCC, GND (multiple) | Power & Ground | Eight dedicated VCC/GND pairs minimize switching noise and improve PSRR across high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | Eliminates need for 32 external pullup/pulldown resistors on A/B data lines, reducing component count and board area. |
| Dual Independent Register Banks | Enables simultaneous A→B and B→A registered transfers - supports full-duplex buffered communication without arbitration. |
| Wide VCC Range (1.65–3.6 V) | Allows direct interfacing between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| High-Speed Timing (150 MHz) | Meets timing requirements for DDR memory buffers, high-speed test interfaces, and FPGA I/O expansion. |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Validated operation from -40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in base station, industrial PLC, and automotive under-hood applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16952DGGR | Lower drive strength (±24 mA @ 3.3 V vs. ±32 mA for LVC), identical pinout and logic function. | Optimized for lower-power 3.3-V-only systems; lacks 1.65-V minimum VCC support. | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and lower static current (<20 µA ICC) is prioritized over wide-VCC flexibility. |
| 74ALVCH162245DGGR | Non-registered, 16-bit non-inverting transceiver; no clock or register functionality. | Suitable only for simple level-shifting or bus isolation without timing control. | Choose only if clocked registration is unnecessary and minimal propagation delay (2.1 ns) is critical. |

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH16952DGGR?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (via pullup to VCC) during power-up and power-down to guarantee 3-state outputs. For SN74ALVCH16952DGGR, tie OEAB and OEBA to VCC through ≥10-kΩ resistors. VCC should ramp monotonically; no sequencing between VCC and control inputs is required beyond maintaining OE high until stable operation begins.
Does SN74ALVCH16952DGGR support hot-swap or live-insertion?
SN74ALVCH16952DGGR is not rated for hot-swap operation. Its absolute maximum ratings do not include powered insertion into a live backplane. The device lacks Ioff protection - when VCC = 0 V, I/O pins may sink current if driven externally, risking damage. Use only in systems with controlled power sequencing.
Can SN74ALVCH16952DGGR operate at 1.5-V VCC?
No. SN74ALVCH16952DGGR has a minimum specified VCC of 1.65 V per its recommended operating conditions. Operation below 1.65 V is outside characterization and may result in undefined timing, reduced noise margin, or failure to meet bus-hold or output drive specifications. Do not use at 1.5 V.
How does bus-hold work on SN74ALVCH16952DGGR data inputs?
Each A and B port input in SN74ALVCH16952DGGR includes an internal weak feedback resistor (~100 kΩ) that holds the pin at its last valid logic level when floating. This eliminates external biasing components. Bus-hold current ranges from ±25 µA to ±75 µA depending on VCC and input voltage, ensuring robust noise immunity without loading the driving source.
Is SN74ALVCH16952DGGR pin-compatible with SN74ALVCH162245DGGR?
No. Although both are 56-pin TSSOP transceivers, SN74ALVCH16952DGGR has 24 control signals (clocks, enables) and 32 I/Os, while SN74ALVCH162245DGGR has only 2 control inputs and 32 I/Os. Their pinouts differ significantly - e.g., CLKAB/CLKBA occupy pins 2/27 in SN74ALVCH16952DGGR but are absent in SN74ALVCH162245DGGR - making them incompatible at the PCB layout level.
