Product details
Overview
SN74LVC16T245 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-supply noninverting bus transceiver with configurable level-shifting, supporting bidirectional voltage translation between 1.65 V–5.5 V domains on both A and B ports. It features independent VCCA and VCCB rails, Ioff partial-power-down protection, VCC isolation, and tri-state outputs controlled by DIR/OE pins. Used in mixed-voltage system interconnects such as 1.8-V microcontrollers interfacing 3.3-V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC16T245 datasheet, SN74LVC16T245 pinout, SN74LVC16T245 application, or SN74LVC16T245 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply flexibility (1.65–5.5 V per rail), guaranteed high-impedance during power sequencing, Ioff compliance for hot-insertion, and verified 200 MHz data rate capability in 3.3-V-to-5-V translation.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC16T245 implements two independent 8-bit transceiver channels (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each with dedicated DIR and OE controls referenced to VCCA. Direction control is asynchronous: DIR = HIGH enables A→B transmission; DIR = LOW enables B→A. OE = HIGH forces both ports into high-impedance regardless of DIR state.
Its dual-rail architecture isolates logic thresholds: A-port I/Os track VCCA (VIH/VIL referenced to VCCA); B-port I/Os track VCCB. The VCC isolation feature guarantees high-impedance on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, preventing bus contention during power-up/down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables interface with 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5-V controllers without external level shifters. |
| VCCB Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Supports bidirectional translation to any standard low-voltage node on the B bus. |
| Max Data Rate | 200 MHz - Validated for 3.3-V-to-5-V conversion; ensures compatibility with high-speed parallel interfaces like memory buses or FPGA I/O. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 μA max - Prevents damaging backflow current when one supply is powered down, enabling safe hot-swap operation. |
| VCC Isolation | Active - Forces both A and B ports to high-impedance if either VCCA or VCCB = GND, eliminating false logic during power sequencing. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements for board-level handling and system integration. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.3 ns to 23.8 ns - Varies with supply voltages and load; tPLH/tPHL as low as 0.3 ns at 5-V/5-V enables timing-critical applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (DGV) with 12.50 mm × 6.10 mm body size, lead pitch 0.4 mm, and exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MO-153 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction-control input | Asynchronous control referenced to VCCA; HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A per channel pair. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable input | Referenced to VCCA; HIGH disables all outputs (A/B) into high-impedance, overriding DIR state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port I/O | Bidirectional data lines referenced to VCCA; tolerate overvoltage up to VCCA + 0.5 V. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port I/O | Bidirectional data lines referenced to VCCB; tolerate overvoltage up to VCCB + 0.5 V. |
| VCCA | A-port supply | Power rail for A-side logic and control inputs (DIR/OE); sets VIH/VIL thresholds for A port and controls. |
| VCCB | B-port supply | Power rail for B-side logic; defines voltage domain and logic thresholds for B-port I/Os. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; must be low-impedance and shared across VCCA/VCCB decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail level shifting | Independent 1.65–5.5 V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables direct 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V, 2.5-V ↔ 5-V, or any mixed-voltage interconnect without external components. |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND - eliminates bus contention during asymmetric power sequencing in embedded systems. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Guaranteed ≤±1 μA off-state current prevents backflow when one supply is inactive, supporting hot-plug and battery-backed subsystems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | A- and B-port pins withstand up to VCCX + 0.5 V, allowing safe interfacing with higher-voltage drivers without clamping diodes or resistors. |
| Configurable tri-state control | Per-channel DIR + global OE allows flexible bus arbitration: individual channel enable/disable or full isolation via OE high. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245 | Lower VCC min (1.2 V), higher speed (tPLH down to 0.2 ns), but no VCC isolation or Ioff spec. | Preferred for ultra-low-voltage (<1.65 V) or sub-ns timing-critical designs where isolation is not required. | Select SN74AVCH16T245 only if operating below 1.65 V or requiring <0.3 ns propagation; otherwise SN74LVC16T245 provides broader safety features. |
| TXB0108PWR | 8-bit, auto-direction sensing, no DIR/OE pins; lower drive strength (±8 mA), no VCC isolation. | Suitable for simple point-to-point I²C/SPI links where direction is predictable and isolation unnecessary. | Use TXB0108PWR for space-constrained 8-bit auto-sensing apps; SN74LVC16T245 remains optimal for 16-bit, manually controlled, safety-critical mixed-voltage buses. |
Compared with SN74AVCH16T245 and TXB0108PWR, the SN74LVC16T245 uniquely combines 16-bit width, explicit DIR/OE control, VCC isolation, and Ioff-making it the only option for robust, manually managed, high-channel-count mixed-voltage interconnects in industrial and telecom infrastructure.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74LVC16T245 support on its A and B ports?
The SN74LVC16T245 supports 1.65 V to 5.5 V independently on both VCCA (A port) and VCCB (B port). This allows translation between any combination of standard low-voltage nodes-including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V-without external components. Each port's logic thresholds (VIH/VIL) are referenced to its respective supply rail, ensuring reliable operation across the full range.
How does the VCC isolation feature work in the SN74LVC16T245?
The VCC isolation feature in the SN74LVC16T245 forces both A and B ports into high-impedance whenever either VCCA or VCCB is at GND. This prevents false logic states or bus contention during power-up, power-down, or fault conditions where supplies ramp asymmetrically. It is implemented internally and requires no external circuitry-ensuring fail-safe behavior in industrial and automotive systems.
Can the SN74LVC16T245 operate with different supply voltages on VCCA and VCCB simultaneously?
Yes-the SN74LVC16T245 is explicitly designed for simultaneous dual-supply operation. For example, it can translate data from a 1.8-V microcontroller (VCCA = 1.8 V) to a 3.3-V peripheral (VCCB = 3.3 V) in either direction. The device maintains valid logic levels, timing, and drive strength across all supported voltage combinations, as verified in TI's switching characteristics tables.
What is the purpose of the Ioff specification for the SN74LVC16T245?
The Ioff specification (≤±1 μA) ensures that when the SN74LVC16T245 is partially powered down-e.g., VCCA = 0 V while VCCB remains active-no damaging backflow current flows through the I/O pins. This protects upstream and downstream devices during hot-swap, battery backup, or power-gating scenarios, making the SN74LVC16T245 suitable for systems requiring graceful partial-power-down operation.
Does the SN74LVC16T245 require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE pins?
No external pull-ups are required for functional operation, but TI recommends tying OE to VCCA via a pullup resistor (value determined by driver sink capability) to guarantee high-impedance state during power-up/power-down. DIR may be driven directly from a controller GPIO. The SN74LVC16T245 itself has no internal pull-ups on DIR or OE; relying on external bias ensures deterministic behavior before firmware initialization.
