Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2952DBLE from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver and register with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, supports 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, delivers 8.2 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and features Ioff partial-power-down protection. It is used in level-shifting interfaces between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2952DBLE datasheet, SN74LVC2952DBLE pinout, SN74LVC2952DBLE application, or SN74LVC2952DBLE equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-clock-controlled register architecture, 24-pin SSOP (DB) package, 3.6-V absolute maximum input voltage tolerance, and guaranteed 3-state output isolation during power sequencing.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2952DBLE integrates two independent 8-bit back-to-back registers enabling synchronous latching of A-to-B or B-to-A data on the low-to-high transition of CLKAB or CLKBA, respectively, when corresponding CLKENAB/CLKENBA is low. Each direction has dedicated clock-enable and output-enable controls, allowing independent timing and tri-state management.
Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current in partial-power-down scenarios. Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V-regardless of VCC-enables direct interfacing with 5-V drivers while operating at 1.65–3.6 V, making it suitable for voltage-translation bridges without external level shifters.

Pinout & Package
SN74LVC2952DBLE is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), DB package, with 0.64-mm lead pitch, 8.2-mm body width, and JEDEC MO-150 compliance. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant), marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side A; driven by or drives external logic depending on OEAB state. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side B; functionally symmetric to A-side with separate control signals. |
| OEAB | Output enable A→B | Active-low control enabling A-port drivers to drive B-bus; high = 3-state (high-Z) on B outputs. |
| OEBA | Output enable B→A | Active-low control enabling B-port drivers to drive A-bus; high = 3-state on A outputs. |
| CLKAB | Register clock A→B | Low-to-high edge captures A-bus data into A→B register; only active when CLKENAB = low. |
| CLKBA | Register clock B→A | Low-to-high edge captures B-bus data into B→A register; only active when CLKENBA = low. |
| CLKENAB | Enable for CLKAB | Active-low gate for CLKAB; when high, CLKAB transitions are ignored and A→B register holds last value. |
| CLKENBA | Enable for CLKBA | Active-low gate for CLKBA; when high, CLKBA transitions are ignored and B→A register holds last value. |
| VCC | Power supply | Primary supply for internal logic and output drivers; must be decoupled locally with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 1.65–3.6-V VCC enables seamless interface between 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V peripherals. |
| Dual independent register control | Separate CLKAB/CLKENAB and CLKBA/CLKENBA pairs allow asynchronous latching and forwarding in each direction. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V, critical for hot-swap and multi-rail power sequencing designs. |
| 3-state output isolation | Guaranteed high-impedance state during power-up/down when OE is tied to VCC via pullup resistor. |
| Low ground bounce & undershoot | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V reduce switching noise coupling into adjacent signal paths. |

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74LVC2952DBLE to ensure reliable 3-state behavior?
TI recommends tying OEAB and OEBA to VCC through a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) to guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up. For SN74LVC2952DBLE, this prevents bus contention before the controlling MCU initializes. The Ioff feature further protects against backfeed if VCC ramps after other rails. No external reset sequencing is required beyond standard decoupling.
Does SN74LVC2952DBLE support true bidirectional data flow without external direction control logic?
Yes. SN74LVC2952DBLE implements fully independent A↔B data paths with dedicated OEAB/OEBA and CLKAB/CLKBA controls. Data can flow from A to B and B to A simultaneously, with each direction governed by its own clock and enable signals-no external direction pin or bus arbitration logic is needed.
Can SN74LVC2952DBLE be used as a simple level shifter without using the register functionality?
Yes. By holding CLKENAB and CLKENBA high, the internal registers are disabled and SN74LVC2952DBLE operates as a transparent 3-state transceiver. Inputs remain 5.5-V tolerant, outputs swing rail-to-rail within VCC range, and OEAB/OEBA directly control output states-making it suitable for non-registered voltage translation.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LVC2952DBLE in registered mode?
Per TI's switching characteristics table, SN74LVC2952DBLE supports a maximum clock frequency (fmax) of 150 MHz at VCC = 2.7 V ± 0.15 V and VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V. This assumes proper signal integrity, termination, and load capacitance ≤50 pF. At lower VCC (e.g., 1.8 V), fmax drops to 150 MHz but with relaxed timing margins.
Is SN74LVC2952DBLE pin-compatible with other members of the SN74LVC2952 family?
Yes. All variants-including SN74LVC2952ADBR, SN74LVC2952APWR, and SN74LVC2952ADW-share identical 24-pin pinouts and logic functions. SN74LVC2952DBLE uses the DB (SSOP) package, matching SN74LVC2952ADBR pin-for-pin. Differences are limited to packaging, marking, and lifecycle status-not electrical or mechanical compatibility.
