Product details
Overview
SN74ALVTH162827GR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2.5-V/3.3-V VCC operation and TTL-level 5-V signal interfacing. It features bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, integrated 30-Ω output series resistors, and auto 3-state functionality that disables outputs when Y exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - enabling robust mixed-voltage backplane or memory interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVTH162827GR datasheet, SN74ALVTH162827GR pinout, SN74ALVTH162827GR application, or SN74ALVTH162827GR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 10-bit section architecture with independent OE control, power-off high-impedance state, ground-bounce performance (<0.8 V at 3.3 V), and TSSOP-56 (DGG) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) Widebus™ architecture to support simultaneous 2.5-V and 3.3-V supply operation while accepting 5-V-tolerant inputs. Its two independent 10-bit sections each require both OE1 and OE2 low to enable outputs - providing granular bus control without external logic.
The integrated bus-hold circuitry eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused inputs, and distributed VCC/GND pinning plus flow-through pinout minimizes switching noise and simplifies routing in high-speed parallel interfaces such as address/data buses in industrial controllers or FPGA I/O expansion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports stable operation across both 2.5-V and 3.3-V system rails without level shifters. |
| IOL/IOH | 12 mA sink / –12 mA source - drives standard TTL loads directly; sufficient for fanout-10 in 3.3-V systems. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 1.0 ns to 3.9 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables sub-4 ns propagation in high-speed data paths like memory buffers. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA (VCC = 3 V) - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, preventing metastability in unterminated buses. |
| Output Series Resistor | 30 Ω (integrated) - suppresses overshoot/undershoot without discrete termination, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance state when VCC ≤ 1.2 V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing in hot-swap or multi-rail systems. |
| VO Tolerance | –0.5 V to 7 V on inputs/outputs - allows safe interfacing with 5-V legacy peripherals without external clamping. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-56 (DGG) package: 13.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.2 mm max height, 0.5-mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Section Output Enable (active-low) | Both OE signals per 10-bit section must be low to activate corresponding Y outputs; enables independent control of two 10-bit channels. |
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Data Inputs | Feature bus-hold circuitry - maintains valid logic state when un-driven; eliminates need for external biasing resistors. |
| 1Y1–1Y10, 2Y1–2Y10 | 3-State Buffered Outputs | Include internal 30-Ω series resistance; auto 3-state triggers when output voltage exceeds VCC + 0.5 V. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Distributed across package (10× VCC, 10× GND pins) - reduces simultaneous switching noise and improves PDN integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Accepts 5-V inputs while operating from 2.3–3.6-V VCC - enables direct interfacing between 3.3-V FPGAs and 5-V legacy peripherals. |
| Auto 3-state protection | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when Y > VCC + 0.5 V - prevents latch-up and overvoltage damage during hot-plug or bus contention events. |
| Live insertion support | Outputs disabled during power-off (IOFF ±100 µA) - allows safe board replacement in powered-backplane systems without disrupting bus operation. |
| Flow-through pinout | Input pins on one side, outputs on opposite side - enables straight-through PCB trace routing, minimizing stubs and crosstalk in parallel buses. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures clean logic thresholds under heavy capacitive loading, critical for reliable memory or address bus timing. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion Buffer |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH162827GR | Lower static current (ICC < 0.1 mA vs. 0.07–0.1 mA), same pinout and function but lacks auto 3-state and bus-hold. | Suitable where power optimization is critical and external pullups or OE management is acceptable. | Select SN74ALVCH162827GR only if bus-hold and auto 3-state are not required - otherwise SN74ALVTH162827GR provides superior system-level robustness. |
| SN74LVTH162244DGGR | 16-bit (not 20-bit), identical TSSOP-48 package; supports same VCC range and bus-hold, but no auto 3-state. | Applicable for narrower buses; requires two devices for full 20-bit coverage, increasing layout area and BOM count. | Choose SN74LVTH162244DGGR only when 16-bit width suffices or when footprint constraints favor smaller package - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH162827GR and SN74LVTH162244DGGR, the SN74ALVTH162827GR uniquely combines 20-bit width, bus-hold, auto 3-state, and 5-V tolerance in a single TSSOP-56 package - delivering higher integration and reliability for mixed-voltage backplane designs without layout or firmware trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SN74ALVTH162827GR?
The SN74ALVTH162827GR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is explicitly specified in the SCES079E datasheet under recommended operating conditions and applies to all electrical and switching characteristics in both 2.5-V and 3.3-V configurations.
Does the SN74ALVTH162827GR support 5-V input signals while powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74ALVTH162827GR supports 5-V-tolerant inputs across its full VI range (–0.5 V to 7 V) when VCC is 2.3 V to 3.6 V. Input clamp current is limited to ±10 µA at 5.5 V, and absolute maximum ratings confirm safe operation - enabling direct connection to 5-V TTL sources without external protection.
How does the auto 3-state feature work on the SN74ALVTH162827GR?
The auto 3-state feature on the SN74ALVTH162827GR disables outputs when any Y pin voltage exceeds VCC + 0.5 V. This prevents bus contention during overvoltage events or hot-plug scenarios. The function is internal and automatic - no OE control or external circuitry is needed to trigger the high-impedance state under these conditions.
What package type is used for the SN74ALVTH162827GR?
The SN74ALVTH162827GR uses a 56-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP), designated DGG by Texas Instruments and marked as "GR" in the orderable part number. Its dimensions are 13.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.5-mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-153 compliance.
Can the SN74ALVTH162827GR replace the SN74ALVTH162827DL in an existing design?
Yes - the SN74ALVTH162827GR (TSSOP-56/DGG) and SN74ALVTH162827DL (SSOP-56/DL) share identical logic, pinout, and electrical specifications. However, due to different package footprints and soldering profiles, PCB layout and assembly process validation are required before substitution, despite functional equivalence.
