Product details
Overview
SN74LVC16245ADL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65-V to 3.6-V buses. It supports mixed-mode signaling (5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 3.3-V VCC), delivers ≤4 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and features Ioff for live insertion and partial-power-down protection. It is used in printer peripheral interfaces requiring level translation and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC16245ADL datasheet, SN74LVC16245ADL pinout, SN74LVC16245ADL application, or SN74LVC16245ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include 48-pin SSOP (DL) package compatibility, 16-bit bidirectional flow control via DIR/OE pins, 5.5-V input tolerance, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC16245ADL implements two independent 8-bit transceiver channels-each with dedicated direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls-enabling flexible A↔B or B↔A data routing. Its CMOS design ensures balanced drive strength (±24 mA at 3.3 V) and low ground bounce (<0.8 V) and undershoot (>2 V).
It operates across 1.65–3.6 V VCC, accepts 0–5.5 V inputs regardless of VCC, and uses Ioff circuitry to block back-drive current when powered down. The device is not a clocked or registered transceiver; all data paths are combinatorial and asynchronous.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows safe interfacing with legacy 5-V systems while powered from 3.3-V rails. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed parallel bus timing up to ~200 MHz system clock edges. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple LVC loads without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±20 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-plug or partial-power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - Meets JEDEC JESD22-A114/A101 for robust handling in manufacturing environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC16245ADL is supplied in a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package measuring 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm, with 0.635-mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. It is rated MSL-1 (unlimited floor life) and compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak 260°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH logic selects A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A flow per channel. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW disables both A and B ports on respective channel, placing outputs in high-impedance state. |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 | Bidirectional I/O port pins | Each pair (e.g., A1/B1) forms one data lane; pins tolerate 5.5-V signals regardless of VCC. |
| VCC (pins 7,18,31,42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve power integrity across the 16-bit bus. |
| GND (pins 4,10,15,21,28,34,39,45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for minimizing ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interface support | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs allow seamless connection between 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V peripherals without external translators. |
| Live-insertion capability | Ioff circuitry limits off-state leakage to ±20 µA, enabling safe board replacement in powered-backplane systems. |
| Low-noise switching | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V suppresses ground bounce and supply undershoot in dense PCB layouts. |
| Dual-channel independence | Separate DIR/OE controls per 8-bit section permit asymmetric bus configurations (e.g., one channel A→B, other B→A). |
| Wide temperature operation | Guaranteed functionality from –40°C to +125°C supports deployment in motor drives and telecom infrastructure equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | TSSOP-48 (DGG) package; 12.50 mm × 6.10 mm body; tape-and-reel (2000 pcs) | Better suited for automated SMT assembly; slightly smaller footprint than DL | Select for volume production with pick-and-place; verify thermal derating vs. DL's larger pad area. |
| SN74ALVC16245DL | Higher speed (tpd ≤ 3.2 ns at 3.3 V); 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC only; same DL package | Targeted at ultra-low-latency applications where 1.65-V operation is unnecessary | Choose when maximum speed is critical and system VCC ≥ 2.3 V; not drop-in due to narrower voltage range. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADL, SN74LVC16245ADGGR offers identical electrical performance in a more compact, machine-friendly package, while SN74ALVC16245DL trades wider voltage flexibility for faster propagation-making the DL variant optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding industrial designs requiring full 1.65–3.6-V compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVC16245ADL?
The SN74LVC16245ADL is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and supported by thermal metrics including RθJA = 70.6°C/W for the DL package, making SN74LVC16245ADL suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor control enclosures where ambient heat exceeds 85°C.
Does SN74LVC16245ADL support 5-V input signals when powered from 3.3-V VCC?
Yes, SN74LVC16245ADL accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65–3.6 V). This is explicitly confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table (VI = 0–5.5 V) and enables SN74LVC16245ADL to serve as a robust level translator in mixed-voltage systems such as connecting 3.3-V FPGAs to 5-V sensors or displays.
Can SN74LVC16245ADL be used as a single 16-bit transceiver or only as dual 8-bit units?
SN74LVC16245ADL can operate flexibly as either two independent 8-bit transceivers (using 1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE separately) or as one unified 16-bit transceiver (by tying both DIR and OE pins together). The functional block diagram and truth table in the datasheet confirm this dual-mode capability, and SN74LVC16245ADL pinout supports both configurations without hardware modification.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in SN74LVC16245ADL?
The Ioff feature in SN74LVC16245ADL disables output drivers and limits off-state leakage to ±20 µA when VCC = 0 V. This prevents damaging current backflow during hot-swap events or partial power-down, allowing SN74LVC16245ADL to safely isolate buses in live-insertion systems like modular telecom line cards or field-replaceable I/O boards.
Is SN74LVC16245ADL pin-compatible with older SN74LVC16245 variants?
Yes, SN74LVC16245ADL maintains identical pinout, electrical behavior, and timing specifications as earlier revisions of the SN74LVC16245A series (e.g., SN74LVC16245ADLR). The "A" suffix denotes improved characterization across –40°C to +125°C, but SN74LVC16245ADL retains full mechanical and functional compatibility with legacy footprints and firmware.
