Product details
Overview
SN74AUC16245GQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver optimized for 1.8-V operation with 3.6-V I/O tolerance, sub-1-V operability, 2-ns max propagation delay at 1.8 V, and ±8-mA output drive-used in low-voltage bidirectional data bus interfacing between mixed-supply domains in portable computing and high-speed memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AUC16245GQLR datasheet, SN74AUC16245GQLR pinout, SN74AUC16245GQLR application, or SN74AUC16245GQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, 0.8-V to 2.7-V operating range, 42°C/W thermal resistance in VFBGA, and direction-controlled A↔B bidirectional data flow without external timing constraints.
Technical Context
The SN74AUC16245GQLR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR (direction) and OE (output-enable) inputs, enabling asynchronous A-to-B or B-to-A data transfer. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, satisfying JESD 78 Class II latch-up requirements (>100 mA).
Designed for ultra-low-voltage operation down to 0.8 V, it maintains guaranteed logic thresholds (VIH = 0.65×VCC, VIL = 0.35×VCC) across 1.1–1.95 V, supports 3.6-V tolerant I/O, and delivers 20-µA max ICC quiescent current-making it suitable for battery-powered systems requiring rail-to-rail interoperability between 1.2-V, 1.5-V, and 1.8-V logic domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 0.8 V to 2.7 V - enables direct interface with sub-1.2-V core logic and compatibility with 1.8-V I/O rails |
| Max tpd | 2 ns at 1.8 V - supports >500-MHz data throughput in short-bus configurations |
| I/O Tolerance | 3.6 V - allows safe connection to higher-voltage peripherals without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at 1.8 V - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads |
| Ioff Support | Enabled - prevents destructive current flow when VCC = 0 while I/O pins remain biased |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling |
| θJA | 42°C/W (VFBGA) - enables high-density PCB layouts with minimal thermal derating at 100-mW dissipation |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-48 (GQL) package: 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, bottom-side ball array with standard JEDEC MO-153 footprint; pin 1 located at corner marked by chamfered edge per TI mechanical drawing MTSS003D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-low) | Low = transceiver enabled; High = 3-state isolation; tie to VCC via pullup for power-up safety |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A data terminals | First and second 8-bit source/sink bus; electrically identical, independently configurable |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B data terminals | First and second 8-bit destination/source bus; supports bidirectional flow per DIR state |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and ground | Four VCC and six GND balls distributed for low-inductance decoupling and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sub-1-V operability | Functional at 0.8 V VCC - enables integration with advanced low-power SoC cores and energy-harvesting systems |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Active output disable during VCC=0 - eliminates need for external isolation switches in hot-swap or sleep-mode designs |
| 3.6-V I/O tolerance | Safe interface to legacy 3.3-V peripherals - removes level-shifter components and associated board area/cost |
| 2-ns propagation delay | Timing margin for 500-MHz burst transfers - reduces setup/hold timing closure effort in FPGA-to-memory or processor-to-peripheral links |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC16245DGVR | Higher VCC min (1.2 V), lower drive (±6 mA @ 1.5 V), 58°C/W θJA (TVSOP) | Less suitable for sub-1.2-V SoC integration; better for cost-sensitive 1.5-V-only systems | Select when operating strictly above 1.2 V and board space permits larger TVSOP package |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher tpd (3.8 ns @ 3.3 V), no sub-1-V operation | Targeted at 3.3-V legacy systems; lacks Ioff and 3.6-V I/O tolerance at low VCC | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing 3.3-V designs where 1.8-V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AVC16245DGVR and SN74LVC16245ADGGR, the SN74AUC16245GQLR uniquely supports true sub-1-V operation, delivers lowest propagation delay at 1.8 V, and provides superior thermal performance in the compact VFBGA package-making it optimal for next-generation ultra-low-power, high-density portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the SN74AUC16245GQLR?
The SN74AUC16245GQLR operates down to 0.8 V VCC, with guaranteed functionality across the full 0.8-V to 2.7-V range. At 0.8 V, input thresholds are specified as VIH = 0 V and VIL = 0.7 V, enabling reliable interfacing with emerging sub-1-V logic families. This capability is explicitly validated in the recommended operating conditions table of the SCES392E datasheet.
Does the SN74AUC16245GQLR support hot insertion or partial power-down?
Yes, the SN74AUC16245GQLR features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing damaging current backflow through powered-off sections. This allows safe hot insertion into live backplanes and enables partial-power-down modes in multi-rail systems-fully compliant with JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity requirements (>100 mA).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74AUC16245GQLR package?
For the VFBGA-48 (GQL) package, the SN74AUC16245GQLR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 42°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This value reflects optimized thermal performance for high-density PCB layouts and is significantly lower than the 58°C/W (TVSOP) and 70°C/W (TSSOP) alternatives-enabling higher sustained power density without derating.
Can the SN74AUC16245GQLR interface directly with 3.3-V logic?
Yes, the SN74AUC16245GQLR supports 3.6-V tolerant I/O, allowing direct connection to 3.3-V peripherals without external level shifters. Input and output voltage ranges extend to −0.5 V to 3.6 V, and the device maintains full logic functionality and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM) under these conditions-verified across all recommended operating voltages in the SCES392E datasheet.
How is direction control implemented on the SN74AUC16245GQLR?
The SN74AUC16245GQLR uses two independent DIR inputs (1DIR and 2DIR) to control data flow per 8-bit section: DIR = Low enables B→A transfer; DIR = High enables A→B transfer. Each section operates asynchronously, allowing simultaneous but opposite-direction data movement-confirmed by the function table and logic diagram in the SCES392E datasheet.
