Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16245ADLR 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 max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and features Ioff for live insertion and partial-power-down protection. It is used in tablet memory expansion interfaces requiring level translation and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16245ADLR datasheet, SN74LVCH16245ADLR pinout, SN74LVCH16245ADLR application, or SN74LVCH16245ADLR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SSOP-48 package mapping, functional mode table, bus-hold behavior, and validated alternative parts for industrial embedded bus interface design.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16245ADLR implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver sections (A↔B), each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins. Direction control is synchronous with data flow: DIR = L enables B→A transmission; DIR = H enables A→B transmission; OE = H forces both ports into high-impedance state regardless of DIR.
Its input circuitry includes active bus-hold on all A- and B-port data lines, eliminating external pull resistors, and supports overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V on all I/Os while operating at VCC = 1.65–3.6 V. The Ioff feature ensures <10 µA off-state leakage when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive during hot-swap or power sequencing.
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 | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe interfacing with 5-V legacy peripherals in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >100 MHz bus operation with tight timing margins. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering. |
| Ioff Leakage | <10 µA at VCC = 0 V - Enables safe live insertion and prevents current backflow during partial power-down. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±45 µA at VCC = 3 V - Actively maintains valid logic state on undriven data lines, eliminating floating inputs. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements per JESD22-A114. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCH16245ADLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package measuring 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm, with 0.635-mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Thermal resistance RθJA = 70.6°C/W enables operation up to 125°C ambient under typical PCB layout conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-high logic selects data flow direction per section: DIR = H → A→B; DIR = L → B→A. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places both A and B ports in high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-Port Data I/O | Bidirectional data lines for first/second 8-bit bus segment; include bus-hold circuitry. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-Port Data I/O | Bidirectional data lines for complementary bus segment; 5.5-V tolerant, no external pull required. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce supply noise and improve decoupling effectiveness across the die. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground Reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant I/Os enable interoperability between 3.3-V logic and 5-V peripherals without external translators. |
| Active bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 32 data lines, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging current backflow when VCC is unpowered, enabling hot-plug capability in modular systems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures signal integrity in high-speed switching applications with light capacitive loads. |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.65×VCC min), maintaining noise margin across full voltage range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADLR | Lacks bus-hold and Ioff; 5-V-tolerant inputs only up to VCC + 0.5 V (not 5.5 V); max tpd = 5.2 ns at 3.3 V. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-hot-swap applications where external pull resistors are acceptable and 5-V tolerance is not required. | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs need for bus-hold and live-insertion robustness. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SN74LVCH16245ADLR?
The SN74LVCH16245ADLR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port pins, regardless of VCC setting (1.65–3.6 V). This overvoltage tolerance enables reliable interfacing with 5-V peripherals in mixed-voltage systems without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry, as confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings and Section 9.3 Feature Description of the SCES495C datasheet.
Does SN74LVCH16245ADLR support hot-plug or live insertion?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16245ADLR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which limits off-state leakage current to <10 µA when VCC = 0 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow from powered buses into unpowered sections, making it suitable for modular systems like PLC backplanes and test equipment where cards are inserted or removed during operation, as specified in Section 9.3 and Table 3 of the SCES495C datasheet.
How does bus-hold functionality work on SN74LVCH16245ADLR?
The SN74LVCH16245ADLR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 32 A- and B-port data lines, maintaining undriven inputs at valid logic levels (±45 µA hold current at VCC = 3 V). This eliminates the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors, reduces BOM count, and prevents floating inputs that could cause excess ICC or erratic behavior, as detailed in Section 3 Description and Section 9.1 Overview of the SCES495C datasheet.
What is the propagation delay performance of SN74LVCH16245ADLR at 1.8 V?
At VCC = 1.8 V, the SN74LVCH16245ADLR achieves a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 7.1 ns, as specified in Section 7.6 Switching Characteristics of the SCES495C datasheet. This enables reliable operation in low-voltage, battery-powered applications such as wearables while maintaining timing margins for 100+ MHz data bursts.
Which package variant does SN74LVCH16245ADLR use?
SN74LVCH16245ADLR uses the SSOP-48 (DL) package, measuring 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm with 0.635-mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation, and supplied in 1000-unit large tape-and-reel format, as documented in the Package Option Addendum of the SCES495C datasheet.
