Product details
Overview
SN74AVCBH164245VR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation, supporting bidirectional level shifting between 1.4 V and 3.6 V rails (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V), featuring 3-state outputs, bus-hold circuitry, and Ioff partial-power-down protection. It enables asynchronous data transfer in mixed-voltage systems such as FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVCBH164245VR datasheet, SN74AVCBH164245VR pinout, SN74AVCBH164245VR application, or SN74AVCBH164245VR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail configurability, dynamic output control (DOC™) for noise reduction without speed penalty, ±24 mA drive at 2.5 V, and TVSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each with direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls referenced to VCCB. Its fully configurable dual-rail architecture allows A-port to track VCCA (1.4–3.6 V) and B-port to track VCCB (1.4–3.6 V), enabling universal low-voltage translation across 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains.
The Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) circuitry dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-initially lowering it for strong drive (±24 mA at 2.5 V), then raising it to suppress ringing and crosstalk. Bus-hold inputs eliminate external pull resistors, and Ioff protection ensures no backflow current when either VCC rail is at GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.4 V to 3.6 V each - enables interoperability between 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without external level-shifting components. |
| Dynamic Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 2.5 V - matches standard-output drive capability while maintaining low-noise operation via DOC™ impedance modulation. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1.3 ns to 6.8 ns (VCCA/VCCB = 1.5–3.3 V) - supports high-speed bidirectional data transfer up to ~150 MHz in typical configurations. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max - prevents damaging current flow during power sequencing or partial power-down, meeting JESD78 Class II latch-up requirements. |
| Bus-Hold Input Current | ±100 µA to ±525 µA (VIL/VIH dependent) - actively holds floating data inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating need for external biasing. |
| Control Input Reference | VIH/VIL referenced to VCCB - ensures robust DIR/OE operation regardless of VCCA level, simplifying control logic design in asymmetric rail systems. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for handling and board-level reliability in industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVCBH164245VR is packaged in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) with 0.4 mm pitch, 12.4 mm × 6.1 mm body, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for space-constrained applications requiring fine-pitch surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L → B→A; DIR = H → A→B. Referenced to VCCB. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable input (active-low) | Disables both A and B ports of respective section into high-impedance state. Referenced to VCCB. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port data I/O terminals | Connect to VCCA-supplied bus; track VCCA supply (1.4–3.6 V); include bus-hold on all inputs. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port data I/O terminals | Connect to VCCB-supplied bus; track VCCB supply (1.4–3.6 V); include bus-hold on all inputs. |
| VCCA, VCCB | Independent power supplies | VCCA powers A-port circuitry and I/O; VCCB powers B-port, DIR, OE, and internal logic - enables true dual-voltage operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins distributed across package to minimize ground bounce and improve signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.4–3.6 V operation on A and B ports enables seamless interface between disparate logic families (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA ↔ 3.3 V peripheral). |
| Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) | Real-time output impedance adjustment reduces switching noise by >30% versus fixed-drive transceivers while preserving edge rate and timing margins. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data lines - saves PCB area and reduces BOM count by up to 32 passives. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0 V - essential for hot-swap, power-gating, and multi-rail sequencing in portable and industrial systems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands up to 4.6 V on any I/O pin (even when unpowered) - protects against transient overvoltage events during system bring-up or fault conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA-to-Memory Interconnect |

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 independent VCCA/VCCB rails; lacks DOC™ and bus-hold; lower drive (±12 mA). | Suitable only for uni-directional or single-rail translation; not viable for asymmetric voltage domains requiring independent rail control. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs dual-rail flexibility and noise performance; verify VIH/VIL thresholds match host logic. |
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-sensing direction control (no DIR pin); 8-bit only; auto-bidirectional mode limits use in synchronous protocols requiring explicit direction management. | Best for UART/I²C where direction is data-dependent; unsuitable for parallel buses with separate DIR signaling like memory or PCIe sideband. | Choose only for low-pin-count, low-speed interfaces; avoid in systems requiring deterministic direction control or 16-bit width. |
Compared with SN74AVCBH164245VR, SN74AVCH16T245DGGR offers lower cost but sacrifices dual-rail configurability and noise suppression, while TXB0108PWR simplifies routing with auto-direction but lacks the timing predictability and full 16-bit width needed for high-throughput parallel buses.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74AVCBH164245VR support on its A and B ports?
The SN74AVCBH164245VR 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 families including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and confirmed in the SCES393B datasheet absolute maximum and functional tables.
How does the Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) feature improve signal integrity in the SN74AVCBH164245VR?
The DOC™ circuitry in the SN74AVCBH164245VR dynamically lowers output impedance at signal transition onset for strong drive (±24 mA at 2.5 V), then raises it mid-transition to suppress ringing and reduce simultaneous switching noise - achieving up to 30% lower overshoot/undershoot versus fixed-drive transceivers without degrading propagation delay or edge rate.
Can the SN74AVCBH164245VR operate safely if one supply rail is powered down?
Yes - the SN74AVCBH164245VR includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 µA when either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, preventing damaging current backflow. This behavior is explicitly specified in the electrical characteristics table and supports partial-power-down modes required in hot-swap and power-gated systems.
What is the function of the bus-hold circuitry on the SN74AVCBH164245VR data inputs?
The bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs of the SN74AVCBH164245VR actively maintains unused or floating inputs at valid logic-high or logic-low states using internal feedback, eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors. This reduces BOM count, saves PCB space, and prevents metastability in unconnected or unterminated traces.
Is the SN74AVCBH164245VR pin-compatible with other members of the SN74AVCBH16xx family?
No - the SN74AVCBH164245VR uses the TVSOP-48 (DGV) package, while variants like SN74AVCBH164245GR use TSSOP-48 (DGG) and SN74AVCBH164245KR use VFBGA-56 (GQL). Though functionally identical, mechanical dimensions, solder pad layout, and thermal profiles differ; PCB layout must be tailored to the DGV footprint per TI's MPDS006C mechanical drawing.
