Product details
Overview
SN74AVCAH164245 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation, supporting independent 1.4-V to 3.6-V operation on A and B ports, ±24-mA dynamic drive capability, bus-hold circuitry, and Ioff partial-power-down protection. It enables bidirectional level-shifting between 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V domains in memory expansion and mixed-voltage SoC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVCAH164245 datasheet, SN74AVCAH164245 pinout, SN74AVCAH164245 application, or SN74AVCAH164245 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-rail VCCA/VCCB supply flexibility, DIR/OE control logic referenced to VCCA, DOC™-enabled noise-suppressed switching, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), each supporting asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and enabled/disabled via OE. Both ports operate across overlapping 1.4-V to 3.6-V supply ranges, with control inputs (DIR, OE) referenced strictly to VCCA.
The integrated DOC™ (Dynamic Output Control) circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-lowering it initially for strong edge drive (±24 mA), then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk without sacrificing propagation speed. Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains unused data inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating external bias resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - enables universal translation between 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains |
| Dynamic Drive | ±24 mA at 2.5-V VCC - delivers standard-output strength while maintaining low-noise operation via DOC™ |
| tpd (max) | 8.6 ns (VCCA = 1.8 V, VCCB = 3.3 V) - ensures timing compliance in high-speed memory and peripheral buses |
| Ioff | ±10 µA - prevents backflow current when either VCC rail is at GND, enabling safe partial-power-down sequencing |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 µA to ±525 µA (VIN = 0–VCC) - sustains stable logic states on floating inputs without external components |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, lead-free NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow), RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Logic level determines data flow direction: L = B→A, H = A→B; referenced to VCCA |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Active-Low: L enables transceiver, H places both A/B ports in high-impedance isolation state |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data I/O terminals | Track VCCA supply; support 1.4–3.6 V logic; include bus-hold on all inputs |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data I/O terminals | Track VCCB supply; support 1.4–3.6 V logic; overvoltage-tolerant up to 4.6 V |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent power supplies | VCCA powers control inputs and A-port circuitry; VCCB powers B-port circuitry; no shared rail required |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins (pins 4, 10, 23, 35) minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.4–3.6 V operation on A and B ports enables seamless interfacing between disparate logic families |
| DOC™ output architecture | Dynamically adjusts output impedance during transitions to reduce simultaneous switching noise without slowing tpd |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Ioff protection | Disables outputs and blocks current flow when either VCC rail is powered down, preventing system-level damage |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | B-port pins tolerate up to 4.6 V regardless of VCCB, allowing safe connection to higher-voltage peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245DGGR | Single-supply (1.2–3.6 V), no VCCA/VCCB separation; lacks DOC™ and bus-hold | Suitable only for same-voltage-domain buffering; not for mixed-voltage translation | Select when cost and simplicity outweigh dual-rail flexibility and noise control needs |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±2 mA); smaller 20-pin VQFN package | Optimized for low-pin-count, low-power I²C/SPI translation; not for wide parallel buses | Choose for space-constrained, low-bandwidth interfaces where automatic direction detection is preferred |
Compared with SN74AVCAH164245, SN74AVCH16T245DGGR requires identical supply rails and offers no voltage translation or DOC™ noise suppression, while TXB0108PWR trades 16-bit width and manual direction control for automatic sensing and ultra-low power-making SN74AVCAH164245 uniquely suited for high-fidelity, mixed-voltage parallel bus bridging.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74AVCAH164245 support on its A and B ports?
The SN74AVCAH164245 supports independent supply voltages from 1.4 V to 3.6 V on both VCCA (A port) and VCCB (B port), enabling translation between common logic levels including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. Control inputs (DIR, OE) are referenced solely to VCCA, and both ports tolerate up to 4.6 V on I/O pins regardless of supply voltage.
How does the DOC™ circuitry in the SN74AVCAH164245 improve signal integrity?
The DOC™ (Dynamic Output Control) circuitry in the SN74AVCAH164245 dynamically lowers output impedance during signal transitions to deliver strong edge drive (±24 mA), then raises impedance mid-transition to suppress ringing and crosstalk. This maintains fast propagation delay (as low as 1.3 ns) while reducing simultaneous switching noise-critical for high-density parallel bus designs.
Can the SN74AVCAH164245 operate safely if one supply rail is powered down?
Yes. The SN74AVCAH164245 features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 µA when either VCCA or VCCB is at GND. This prevents damaging current backflow and places both A and B ports in high-impedance state, supporting safe partial-power-down sequences in modular systems.
Does the SN74AVCAH164245 require external pullup or pulldown resistors on data lines?
No. The SN74AVCAH164245 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (A and B ports), which maintains unused or floating inputs at valid logic levels. TI explicitly advises against using external pullup/pulldown resistors with this feature, as they may interfere with bus-hold functionality and increase power consumption.
What is the package type and thermal performance of the SN74AVCAH164245GR variant?
The SN74AVCAH164245GR uses a TSSOP-48 (DGG) package measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm with 0.5-mm pitch. Its thermal impedance is θJA = 70°C/W, and it is rated for MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), making it suitable for automated assembly and high-reliability industrial applications.
