Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16952DLR 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 banks, clock-enable control per direction, bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. It is used in high-speed board-level interconnects such as memory expansion interfaces and FPGA-to-ASIC data bridges.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16952DLR datasheet, SN74ALVCH16952DLR pinout, SN74ALVCH16952DLR application, or SN74ALVCH16952DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-clock-enable architecture, guaranteed 150-MHz clock frequency at 2.5 V/3.3 V, bus-hold elimination of external pull resistors, and DL-package thermal impedance of 74°C/W for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVCH16952DLR implements two independent 8-bit D-type flip-flop banks-one for A→B and one for B→A data paths-each controlled by dedicated clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Data is latched on the low-to-high clock transition when clock-enable is low.
Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains unused data inputs at valid logic levels without external components, and its 3-state outputs support hot-swap compatibility and bus contention avoidance. The device uses TI's EPIC™ submicron CMOS process and meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>500 mA) and MIL-STD-883 ESD ratings (>2000 V HBM).
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) |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-throughput synchronous data transfer in real-time control and communication subsystems |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1 ns (min) to 4.6 ns (max) at 3.3 V - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed register-to-register transfers |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±25 µA to ±75 µA depending on VCC - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on floating data lines |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including motor control and PLC I/O modules |
| Input Capacitance (Ci) | 3.5 pF - minimizes signal loading on upstream drivers and preserves edge integrity in dense routing |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVCH16952DLR is packaged in a 56-pin Plastic Shrink Small-Outline (DL) package, 300-mil body width, 1.2-mm max height, with 0.5-mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (per JEDEC MO-153). Pin 1 identifier located at top-left corner with quadrant Q1 orientation in tape-and-reel delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers per 8-bit port; tying OE to VCC via pullup ensures high-Z during power-up |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB, 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register Clock (rising-edge) | Latches data from A to B or B to A on low-to-high transition; requires clean, monotonic edges per ∆t/∆v ≤ 10 ns/V |
| 1CLKENAB, 2CLKENAB, 1CLKENBA, 2CLKENBA | Clock Enable (active-low) | Gates clock propagation to registers; must be low before CLK edge to avoid metastability or missed latch |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (x2) | Bidirectional Data I/O | 16-bit A-side and 16-bit B-side ports with integrated bus-hold; no external termination required |
| VCC, GND (x8 total) | Power Distribution | Multiple VCC/GND pairs minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve PSRR across wide frequency range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 8-bit registered paths | Enables independent A↔B data flow control-supports split-bus architectures like CPU local bus ↔ DMA controller |
| Integrated bus-hold on all data inputs | Eliminates 32 external pull resistors, reduces BOM count and layout area, and prevents floating-input-induced glitches |
| EPIC™ submicron CMOS process | Delivers low ICC (40 µA typical) and high noise immunity while maintaining 150-MHz operation across full VCC range |
| 3.6-V absolute maximum rating | Allows safe operation during transient overvoltage events (e.g., hot-plug, supply sequencing faults) without latch-up |
| JEDEC MO-153-compliant TSSOP-DL | Ensures mechanical compatibility with automated assembly equipment and standard reflow profiles (MSL-1, 260°C peak) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH162245DLR | Non-registered, octal-direction-controlled transceiver; no clock or register functionality | Suitable only for simple level-shifting or bus isolation-not for synchronous data capture or pipeline staging | Select when timing registration is unnecessary and lower propagation delay (2.1 ns) is prioritized over storage capability |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Non-registered 16-bit transceiver; lacks bus-hold and operates up to 3.6 V but not below 2.7 V | Requires external pull resistors; unsuitable for 1.65–2.7 V systems or floating-input environments | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-industrial designs where VCC ≥ 2.7 V and board space allows discrete termination |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16952DLR, SN74ALVCH162245DLR offers faster raw throughput but no data synchronization, while SN74LVC16245ADGGR reduces gate count but increases BOM complexity and narrows voltage operating range-making SN74ALVCH16952DLR the sole choice for registered, bus-hold-enabled, wide-VCC industrial interconnects.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH16952DLR to ensure high-impedance outputs?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (via pullup to VCC) during power-up to guarantee 3-state outputs. For SN74ALVCH16952DLR, use a minimum pullup resistor value determined by the driver's current-sinking capability-typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ suffices for most 3.3-V systems. This prevents bus contention before firmware initializes control signals.
Does SN74ALVCH16952DLR support mixed-voltage operation between its A and B ports?
No-SN74ALVCH16952DLR has a single VCC pin shared across all I/Os and logic. Both A and B ports operate at the same VCC potential (1.65–3.6 V). Voltage translation between disparate domains requires external level shifters; the device itself does not provide dual-supply or auto-sensing translation.
Can SN74ALVCH16952DLR be used as two independent 8-bit transceivers?
Yes. SN74ALVCH16952DLR contains two fully independent 8-bit register banks: one for A1–A8 ↔ B1–B8 (controlled by CLKAB/CLKENAB/OEAB), and another for A9–A16 ↔ B9–B16 (controlled by CLKBA/CLKENBA/OEBA). Each bank functions autonomously, enabling split-bus configurations without cross-talk.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold circuitry on SN74ALVCH16952DLR data inputs?
The bus-hold circuitry on SN74ALVCH16952DLR actively maintains each unused or floating data input at its last-valid logic state using weak feedback-eliminating the need for external pullup/pulldown resistors. This reduces BOM cost, saves PCB area, and prevents undefined states during hot-swap or partial initialization sequences.
Is SN74ALVCH16952DLR pin-compatible with other 56-pin TSSOP transceivers like SN74ALVCH162245DLR?
No. Although both use 56-pin TSSOP packages (DL), SN74ALVCH16952DLR and SN74ALVCH162245DLR have fundamentally different pinouts: SN74ALVCH16952DLR dedicates pins to dual clock/enable controls and register logic, while SN74ALVCH162245DLR allocates pins for direction-control and non-registered I/O. PCB layout is not interchangeable.
