Product details
Overview
SN74AVCB164245VR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation and 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional level-shifting between 1.4-V to 3.6-V domains (e.g., 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V buses). It features independent A/B ports tracking VCCA and VCCB, ±24-mA dynamic drive capability, Ioff partial-power-down support, and DOC™ circuitry for noise reduction. Used in FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects, memory subsystems, and mixed-voltage SoC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVCB164245VR datasheet, SN74AVCB164245VR pinout, SN74AVCB164245VR application, or SN74AVCB164245VR equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-rail voltage flexibility, 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package compatibility, DIR/OE control logic behavior, and Ioff-enabled isolation during power sequencing.
Technical Context
This device implements asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR inputs per 8-bit section and enabled/disabled via OE pins referenced to VCCB. Each port operates independently across 1.4 V–3.6 V, enabling translation without speed penalty - tpd as low as 1.3 ns (VCCA=2.5 V, VCCB=1.5 V).
The DOC™ circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during transitions to maintain high drive strength while minimizing switching noise. Control inputs (1DIR, 2DIR, 1OE, 2OE) are VCCB-referenced, and Ioff ensures <±10 µA leakage when either VCC rail is at GND, supporting robust partial-power-down operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - enables universal translation among 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without external level shifters. |
| Dynamic Drive | ±24 mA IOH/IOL - matches standard-output drive strength while maintaining low-noise operation via DOC™ impedance control. |
| tPD (Max) | 7.6 ns - propagation delay measured A↔B under worst-case VCCA/VCCB combinations (e.g., 1.8 V → 3.3 V), ensuring timing closure in high-speed interconnects. |
| Ioff Leakage | <±10 µA - prevents backflow current when one supply is powered down, critical for hot-swap and power-gated system designs. |
| VIH/VIL Reference | Control inputs referenced to VCCB - simplifies interface design when OE/DIR signals originate from the B-side domain. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for robustness in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVCB164245VR is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), 6.1 mm × 12.5 mm × 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with pin 1 quadrant Q1 orientation on tape-and-reel.
| 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. Referenced to VCCB. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Active-Low: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places both A/B ports in high-impedance state. Referenced to VCCB. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data I/O terminals | Track VCCA supply; tolerate up to VCCA + 0.5 V in active state; overvoltage-tolerant up to 4.6 V in Hi-Z/off state. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data I/O terminals | Track VCCB supply; tolerate up to VCCB + 0.5 V in active state; overvoltage-tolerant up to 4.6 V in Hi-Z/off state. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent power supplies | VCCA powers A-port circuitry and I/O; VCCB powers B-port circuitry, DIR/OE logic, and B-port I/O - enables true dual-rail operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins distributed across package for low-inductance return paths and noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Each port operates independently from 1.4 V to 3.6 V - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in heterogeneous voltage systems. |
| DOC™ dynamic output control | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by modulating output impedance mid-transition - maintains ±24 mA drive without overshoot/ringing. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Disables outputs and limits leakage to <±10 µA when either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents backfeed damage during power sequencing. |
| VCCB-referenced controls | DIR/OE inputs use VCCB as reference - simplifies signal sourcing from B-side controllers (e.g., processors, FPGAs on 3.3-V rail). |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands up to 4.6 V on any I/O pin regardless of supply state - supports safe interfacing with higher-voltage legacy 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 | 16-bit, dual-supply, but uses AVCH logic family with lower drive (±12 mA) and no DOC™ circuitry; supports 1.2-V min VCC. | Better suited for ultra-low-power, sub-1.5-V systems where noise reduction is secondary to static current minimization. | Select when VCC rails extend below 1.4 V or when lower ICCQ justifies reduced drive/noise performance. |
| TXB0108PWR | 8-bit auto-direction-sensing translator; no DIR/OE pins; relies on bus activity for direction detection; max 3.3-V VCCB, no 3.6-V support. | Ideal for I²C/SPI where direction is data-dependent and manual control is undesirable; not suitable for parallel bus protocols requiring explicit DIR control. | Choose only for serial interfaces needing automatic direction sensing - not a functional replacement for parallel bus control. |
Compared with SN74AVCB164245VR, SN74AVCH16T245DGGR trades DOC™-enabled noise control and ±24-mA drive for wider 1.2–3.6-V operation, while TXB0108PWR replaces explicit DIR/OE logic with autonomous direction detection - making it incompatible for synchronous parallel bus applications requiring deterministic control timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on SN74AVCB164245VR I/O pins when the device is unpowered?
When SN74AVCB164245VR is unpowered (VCCA = VCCB = 0 V), its I/O pins tolerate up to 4.6 V in the high-impedance or power-off state per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This overvoltage tolerance allows safe connection to live buses during power sequencing or hot-swap events without risk of latch-up or damage.
How does the DOC™ circuitry in SN74AVCB164245VR improve signal integrity compared to standard bus transceivers?
The DOC™ circuitry in SN74AVCB164245VR dynamically lowers output impedance at signal transition onset to deliver full ±24-mA drive strength, then raises impedance mid-transition to suppress ringing and reduce simultaneous switching noise. This results in cleaner edges and lower EMI versus fixed-impedance transceivers - verified in TI's SCEA009 application report.
Can SN74AVCB164245VR translate between 1.2-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
No. SN74AVCB164245VR specifies a minimum supply voltage of 1.4 V for both VCCA and VCCB per Recommended Operating Conditions. While some margin may exist, TI does not characterize or guarantee operation at 1.2 V; for 1.2-V interfaces, consider SN74AVCH16T245DGGR instead.
What is the recommended pull-up configuration for OE pins on SN74AVCB164245VR during power-up?
TI recommends tying OE pins to VCCB through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state at power-up. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's sink capability; for typical microcontroller GPIOs, 10-kΩ is sufficient. This prevents bus contention before firmware initializes DIR/OE states.
Is SN74AVCB164245VR pin-compatible with other members of the SN74AVCB164245 family?
Yes - SN74AVCB164245VR (TVSOP, DGV) shares identical pinout and function with SN74AVCB164245GR (TSSOP, DGG) and SN74AVCB164245KR (VFBGA, GQL), as confirmed by TI's terminal assignment diagrams and package drawings. Only package dimensions and thermal characteristics differ.
