Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCHR16245KR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65-V to 3.6-V buses. It features ±12-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 4.2-ns max propagation delay, integrated 26-Ω series output resistors, and active bus-hold circuitry-enabling robust signal integrity in high-speed memory and peripheral interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCHR16245KR datasheet, SN74ALVCHR16245KR pinout, SN74ALVCHR16245KR application, or SN74ALVCHR16245KR equivalent, key selection considerations include its VFBGA (ZQL) 48-pin package, dual-direction control via DIR/OE inputs, bus-hold elimination of external biasing, and compatibility with mixed-voltage LVTTL/ALVC logic systems.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each with separate direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls, allowing flexible A↔B or B↔A data flow per section. Its logic diagram confirms true noninverting operation and 3-state output behavior governed by OE-driven isolation and DIR-determined signal path polarity.
The internal bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on undriven inputs without external resistors, while integrated 26-Ω series termination minimizes overshoot/undershoot across all 16 I/Os-eliminating need for discrete damping resistors in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing across LVTTL, ALVC, and low-voltage CMOS domains |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.2 ns at 3.3 V - enables reliable operation in 200+ MHz bus timing budgets |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA at 3.3 V - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads |
| Integrated Series Resistor | 26 Ω per output - reduces EMI and signal reflections without PCB layout overhead |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±45 µA at 3 V - maintains stable logic levels on floating inputs, eliminating pullup/pulldown components |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - exceeds JEDEC standards for handling robustness in assembly and field environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA package: ZQL (48-ball, 5.5 mm × 5.5 mm, 0.5-mm pitch), bottom-side solder ball array with standard JEDEC MO-220 footprint. Pin 1 located at corner marked by chamfered edge per TI mechanical drawing DGG0048A variant adapted for ZQL.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction: DIR = L → B→A; DIR = H → A→B |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable input (per 8-bit section) | OE = L → outputs active; OE = H → all outputs enter high-impedance state |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A data I/Os (input when DIR=H, output when DIR=L) | First 8-bit bus interface; driven from or sourced to A-side logic |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B data I/Os (input when DIR=L, output when DIR=H) | Second 8-bit bus interface; driven from or sourced to B-side logic |
| VCC, GND | Power and ground terminals (multiple distributed balls) | Decoupling-critical supply rails; 4 VCC and 4 GND balls minimize IR drop and noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω series output termination | Eliminates need for 16 discrete series resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-density layouts |
| Active bus-hold on all data inputs | Maintains valid logic state during hot-plug, power sequencing, or tri-state transitions-no external bias required |
| Wide 1.65-V to 3.6-V supply range | Enables direct interface between 1.8-V FPGAs, 2.5-V ASICs, and 3.3-V peripherals without level shifters |
| Low 4.2-ns propagation delay at 3.3 V | Supports >200-MHz data rates in synchronous bus architectures with margin for setup/hold timing |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ground-bounce conditions per JESD17 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Same pinout (TSSOP-48), but lacks bus-hold and integrated 26-Ω resistors; requires external termination and biasing | Suitable only where board space allows discrete resistors and pullups, and where lower cost outweighs design simplification | Select if legacy LVC voltage range (1.65–3.6 V) suffices and bus-hold is not required |
| SN74AVC16245DGGR | Higher speed (2.9 ns tpd at 1.8 V), supports 1.2–3.6 V, but no bus-hold and no integrated series resistors | Better for ultra-low-voltage, high-frequency interfaces (e.g., mobile SoC subsystems), but increases layout complexity | Prefer when sub-3.3-V operation below 1.65 V is needed and external termination is acceptable |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74AVC16245DGGR, the SN74ALVCHR16245KR uniquely combines bus-hold, integrated 26-Ω termination, and industrial temperature range in a compact VFBGA-reducing total solution size and improving signal integrity without sacrificing voltage flexibility.

FAQ
What is the package type and dimensions of the SN74ALVCHR16245KR?
The SN74ALVCHR16245KR uses a VFBGA package designated ZQL: 48-ball, 5.5 mm × 5.5 mm body, 0.5-mm ball pitch, JEDEC MO-220 compliant. Its low-profile construction (max 1.2 mm height) supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
Does the SN74ALVCHR16245KR require external pullup resistors on OE or DIR inputs?
No-external pullup resistors are not required on OE or DIR inputs of the SN74ALVCHR16245KR. These control inputs are CMOS-compatible and internally biased; however, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pullup resistor during power-up to guarantee high-impedance state until firmware initializes control logic.
How does the bus-hold feature function on the SN74ALVCHR16245KR?
The SN74ALVCHR16245KR incorporates active bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-port data inputs, maintaining the last-valid logic state with ±45 µA hold current at 3 V. This eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors and prevents floating-input metastability during hot-swap or power sequencing events.
Can the SN74ALVCHR16245KR operate reliably at 1.65 V supply?
Yes-the SN74ALVCHR16245KR is fully specified from 1.65 V to 3.6 V. At 1.65 V, it delivers guaranteed 2-mA low-level output drive and 1.2-V high-level output voltage, supporting interoperability with 1.8-V logic families while maintaining 4.9-ns max propagation delay per datasheet SCES064G.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74ALVCHR16245KR in its ZQL package?
The SN74ALVCHR16245KR in ZQL package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 42°C/W, significantly lower than TSSOP (63°C/W) or SSOP (70°C/W) variants. This enables higher sustained power dissipation in compact industrial enclosures without forced airflow or heatsinking.
