Product details
Overview
SN74LVC16245AZQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65–3.6 V buses. It supports mixed-mode signal operation (5.5 V-tolerant inputs at 3.3 V VCC), delivers max 4 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and features Ioff for live insertion and partial-power-down protection - used in printer peripheral interfaces and industrial backplane data routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC16245AZQLR datasheet, SN74LVC16245AZQLR pinout, SN74LVC16245AZQLR application, or SN74LVC16245AZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3 V/5 V level translation capability, dual 8-bit directional control (1DIR/2DIR), independent output enable (1OE/2OE), and verified 48-pin ZQL package compatibility with TSSOP footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC16245AZQLR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver channels, each with dedicated direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls, enabling simultaneous A→B and B→A data flow under separate logic supervision. Its CMOS design ensures balanced drive strength (±24 mA at 3 V) and rail-to-rail 3.3 V-compatible I/O while accepting up to 5.5 V on all inputs regardless of VCC.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with guaranteed tpd ≤5.0 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, –40°C to 125°C), supports Ioff-based back-drive protection during power sequencing, and maintains high-impedance isolation when OE is high - critical for hot-swap-capable industrial backplanes and modular controller interconnects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5 V logic or mixed-voltage subsystems |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns at 3.3 V (–40°C to 85°C) - supports >100 MHz bus timing margins in high-speed peripherals |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during board hot-plug or partial power-down sequences |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial motor drives and telecom infrastructure environments |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit channel (L = B→A, H = A→B) |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low control: L enables transceiver, H places outputs in high-impedance state |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A I/O terminals | First and second 8-bit data bus interface (A-side); 5.5 V tolerant |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B I/O terminals | First and second 8-bit data bus interface (B-side); 5.5 V tolerant |
| VCC (pins 3,4,11,12,19,20,27,28,35,36,43,44) | Power supply | Twelve distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus |
| GND (pins 2,5,6,10,13,14,17,18,21,22,25,26,29,30,33,34,37,38,41,42,45,46) | Ground reference | Twenty-two GND balls ensure low-inductance return paths for fast switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | 5.5 V-tolerant inputs operate reliably with 3.3 V VCC - eliminates external level shifters in 3.3 V ↔ 5 V system bridges |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V - enables safe live insertion into powered backplanes or hot-swappable modules |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent analog or RF sections during high-speed switching |
| Fast enable/disable timing | ten ≤6.5 ns, tdis ≤7.6 ns at 3.3 V - ensures clean bus arbitration and avoids metastability in multi-master systems |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | VOH ≥2.2 V, VOL ≤0.55 V at VCC = 3 V - guarantees full logic margin for downstream 3.3 V CMOS receivers |

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 package (12.5 × 6.1 mm); higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 67.1°C/W) vs ZQL's 42.6°C/W | Better suited for prototyping and manual assembly; less optimal for thermally constrained, high-density modules | Select SN74LVC16245ADGGR for breadboard evaluation or low-volume production where BGA rework is impractical |
| SN74AVC16245DGGR | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); faster tpd (≤2.8 ns at 3.3 V); no 5.5 V input tolerance | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage SoC interconnects, not mixed-voltage translation scenarios | Choose SN74AVC16245DGGR only when interfacing sub-1.8 V logic; avoid if 5 V legacy device compatibility is required |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74AVC16245DGGR, the SN74LVC16245AZQLR uniquely balances 5.5 V input tolerance, industrial temperature range, and micro-BGA footprint - making it the sole option for space-limited, mixed-voltage, hot-pluggable designs requiring guaranteed 125°C operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVC16245AZQLR?
The SN74LVC16245AZQLR is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with electrical characteristics validated across this full industrial range per JEDEC JESD84-A. This rating applies to the ZQL package variant and is confirmed in TI's SCES062Q datasheet Section 7.3. The device maintains tpd ≤5.0 ns and Ioff ≤±20 µA at +125°C, making it suitable for enclosed telecom chassis or motor drive enclosures.
Does SN74LVC16245AZQLR support 5 V logic interfacing?
Yes, SN74LVC16245AZQLR supports 5 V logic interfacing through its 5.5 V-tolerant inputs - all A and B port pins accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V). This enables direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals without external level shifters. However, outputs swing only to VCC levels (e.g., 3.3 V), so downstream 5 V receivers require compatible input thresholds.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74LVC16245AZQLR?
The Ioff feature in SN74LVC16245AZQLR disables all outputs and isolates input/output terminals when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±10 µA (max) per pin. This prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-swap events or partial power-down states - critical for modular PLC backplanes or battery-backed systems where subsystems power up/down asynchronously. Ioff is inherent to the silicon process and requires no external circuitry.
What is the pin configuration for SN74LVC16245AZQLR?
SN74LVC16245AZQLR uses a 56-ball ZQL microstar BGA package with specific ball assignments: DIR/OE controls occupy corner positions (A1, K6), A/B port I/Os are arranged in interleaved banks (e.g., A1–A8 on rows B–E, B1–B8 on rows F–J), and twelve VCC plus twenty-two GND balls provide low-impedance power distribution. Full mapping is defined in Table 1 of SCES062Q, and no internal connections exist on NC balls (e.g., A2–A5, K2–K5).
Can SN74LVC16245AZQLR be used as two independent 8-bit transceivers?
Yes, SN74LVC16245AZQLR is explicitly designed to operate as two independent 8-bit transceivers: Channel 1 (pins 1DIR, 1OE, 1A1–1A8, 1B1–1B8) and Channel 2 (pins 2DIR, 2OE, 2A1–2A8, 2B1–2B8). Each channel has separate DIR and OE controls, allowing simultaneous A→B and B→A data flow on different buses - verified in the Function Table (Section 9.4) and Typical Application schematic (Figure 4) of the datasheet.
