Product details
Overview
SN74AVC16646DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit bus transceiver and register with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-voltage-mode data communications between 1.2-V to 3.6-V domains. It features Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) for noise reduction without speed degradation, Ioff support for partial-power-down mode, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. Used in high-speed memory interfaces and FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC16646DGVR datasheet, SN74AVC16646DGVR pinout, SN74AVC16646DGVR application, or SN74AVC16646DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 8-bit or single 16-bit configurable bus management, ±24 mA dynamic drive at 3.3 V, DOC™-enabled transition control, and TVSOP-56 package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC16646DGVR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver/register blocks, each with separate clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), direction (DIR), output-enable (OE), and select-control (SAB/SBA) inputs. Its DOC™ circuit dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-initially lowering impedance for strong drive, then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk.
It supports true bidirectional data flow with real-time or registered transfer modes, latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II, and overvoltage-tolerant I/Os up to 4.6 V. The device is fully characterized for 1.2-V to 3.6-V operation but optimized for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC, enabling interoperability across legacy and low-voltage logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing between 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters |
| Dynamic Drive | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - matches standard-output drive strength while maintaining low-noise operation via DOC™ |
| Propagation Delay | 2.6 ns typical at 3.3 V - supports >350 MHz clock frequency for high-throughput data transfers |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting powered-down subsystems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and communications equipment |
| Output Enable Time | 4.0 ns typical at 3.3 V - ensures fast bus arbitration and minimal dead time in multiplexed data paths |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.35×VCC, VIH = 0.65×VCC - provides robust noise margin across all supported VCC levels |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVC16646DGVR uses a 56-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), 7.7 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-194 compliant, with gull-wing leads and exposed metal pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit block: DIR = L routes B→A; DIR = H routes A→B |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB, 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Clock input | Low-to-high edge clocks data from A or B bus into respective register; enables synchronous storage |
| 1SAB, 2SAB, 1SBA, 2SBA | Select control input | Chooses between real-time (transparent) or stored data output without glitch during switching |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver outputs; OE = H places outputs in high-impedance state |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (×2) | Data I/O port | 16 bidirectional data lines split into two 8-bit buses; each supports mixed-voltage I/O up to 4.6 V |
| VCC, GND (×8) | Power and ground | Distributed supply/ground pins minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) | Reduces EMI and overshoot by dynamically adjusting output impedance during transitions-no external termination required |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow from live buses into unpowered sections of system |
| Mixed-Voltage I/O Tolerance | Accepts inputs up to 4.6 V regardless of VCC, enabling safe interface between 1.2-V SoCs and 3.3-V peripherals |
| Glitch-Free Select Multiplexing | SAB/SBA logic eliminates decoding glitches during real-time ↔ stored data switching-critical for deterministic timing |
| Widebus™ Architecture | Optimized layout and drive strength for high-density parallel bus applications including memory expansion and FPGA I/O bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver and register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC16T245DGVR | No internal registers; only transparent transceiver; lacks SAB/SBA select logic and CLK inputs | Suitable for simple level-shifting without storage; not usable where registered sampling or glitch-free multiplexing is required | Choose when only voltage translation and direction control are needed-lower complexity and cost |
| SN74LVC16646DGVR | Slower max clock frequency (200 MHz vs 350 MHz); lower drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V, not down to 1.2 V); no DOC™ circuit | Compatible for less demanding industrial interfaces but cannot match SN74AVC16646DGVR's noise performance or wide-VCC drive capability | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where 1.2-V operation or ultra-low EMI are not required |
Compared with SN74AVC16646DGVR, SN74AVC16T245DGVR omits register functionality and select control, limiting use to basic translation, while SN74LVC16646DGVR trades off speed, drive flexibility, and noise control for lower unit cost-making SN74AVC16646DGVR optimal for high-integrity, mixed-voltage, registered bus systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AVC16646DGVR?
The SN74AVC16646DGVR supports a maximum clock frequency of 350 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in the switching characteristics table. At lower supply voltages-1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V-the max clock frequency is derated to 150 MHz, 250 MHz, and 350 MHz respectively. This performance enables high-throughput data transfers in memory and FPGA interconnect applications where the SN74AVC16646DGVR is deployed.
Does the SN74AVC16646DGVR support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74AVC16646DGVR supports partial power-down operation via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, the Ioff feature disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±10 µA, preventing damaging current backflow from live I/O buses into the unpowered device. This capability is critical for hot-swap and modular system designs where subsystems may be powered independently, and is explicitly validated per the datasheet's recommended operating conditions.
How does the Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) circuit in the SN74AVC16646DGVR reduce noise?
The DOC™ circuit in the SN74AVC16646DGVR dynamically adjusts output impedance during signal transitions: it initially lowers impedance to deliver strong drive strength (equivalent to ±24 mA), then raises impedance mid-transition to suppress ringing and crosstalk. This eliminates the need for external series resistors or terminations while preserving signal edge rate and timing margins-directly improving signal integrity in high-density routing scenarios where the SN74AVC16646DGVR is applied.
Can the SN74AVC16646DGVR operate at 1.2 V supply voltage?
Yes, the SN74AVC16646DGVR is fully specified to operate at VCC = 1.2 V, with guaranteed functionality across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. At 1.2 V, it delivers 150 MHz max clock frequency and meets all electrical characteristics including VOL ≤ 0.2 V and VOH ≥ VCC – 0.2 V. This makes the SN74AVC16646DGVR suitable for ultra-low-power portable and battery-operated systems where the 1.2-V node is used for core logic domains.
What package type is used for the SN74AVC16646DGVR?
The SN74AVC16646DGVR uses a 56-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), designated DGV, with dimensions 7.7 mm × 4.4 mm and maximum height of 1.2 mm. It complies with JEDEC MO-194, features gull-wing leads, and includes an exposed metal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts typical in space-constrained industrial and communications equipment where the SN74AVC16646DGVR is implemented.
