Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16245AZQLR 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 signal operation (5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 3.3-V VCC), delivers 4-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and integrates bus-hold circuitry to eliminate external pull resistors - used in tablet memory interfaces and industrial backplane data routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR datasheet, SN74LVCH16245AZQLR pinout, SN74LVCH16245AZQLR application, or SN74LVCH16245AZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, 5.5-V input tolerance for level translation, bus-hold functionality, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16245AZQLR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE), enabling simultaneous or isolated A↔B data flow. Its CMOS design features active bus-hold on all A- and B-port I/Os, eliminating floating-input risk without external biasing.
It supports partial-power-down via Ioff, blocking current flow when VCC = 0 V, and tolerates 5.5-V inputs across full VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), making it suitable for voltage-level bridging between legacy 5-V logic and modern low-voltage systems.
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 system rails without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe interfacing with 5-V peripherals while powered from 3.3-V supply. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4 ns at 3.3 V - Supports >100-MHz data throughput in synchronous bus applications. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-drive damage during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±45 µA at 3 V - Maintains valid logic state on undriven A/B-port inputs without external resistors. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3 V - Drives standard 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple LVC loads without buffering. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements per JESD22-A114. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (body size 12.50 mm × 6.10 mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L enables B→A; DIR = H enables A→B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Active-low control: OE = L enables outputs; OE = H places A/B ports in high-impedance isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-port I/O | First and second 8-bit data interface - accepts and drives signals with bus-hold active regardless of OE state. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-port I/O | Complementary 8-bit data interface - bidirectionally coupled to A-port via DIR-controlled path. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve PSRR across high-speed operation. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all I/Os and minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 1.65–3.6-V VCC enable seamless interfacing between 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V legacy peripherals. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 I/Os, reducing BOM count and board space in point-of-sale terminals. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe live insertion into powered backplanes or modular computing systems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | Typical 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures signal integrity in noise-sensitive medical wearables and test equipment. |
| High-speed switching | 4-ns max tpd at 3.3 V enables reliable operation in DDR memory buffers and FPGA I/O expansion interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lacks bus-hold circuitry; requires external pull resistors on unused I/Os. | Suitable only where all I/Os are actively driven; not recommended for modular or hot-swap designs. | Select SN74LVCH16245AZQLR when bus-hold is required to reduce component count and improve reliability in undriven scenarios. |
| SN74AVC16245DGGR | Supports 1.2-V to 3.6-V VCC; higher speed (2.8-ns tpd) but lower drive (±12 mA) and no 5.5-V input tolerance. | Better for ultra-low-voltage SoC interconnects; incompatible with 5-V peripheral interfacing. | Choose SN74LVCH16245AZQLR for mixed-voltage systems requiring 5-V tolerance and ±24-mA drive at 3.3 V. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74AVC16245DGGR, the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and Ioff - making it the only option among the three qualified for live-insertion 5-V/3.3-V bridging in industrial and retail embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR?
The SN74LVCH16245AZQLR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and confirmed in the device's Recommended Operating Conditions table (Section 7.3 of SCES495C). The TSSOP-48 package's thermal metrics - including RθJA = 67.1°C/W - ensure reliable performance within this range under typical PCB copper pour conditions.
Does the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR support live insertion in powered systems?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which disables output drivers and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. This capability is explicitly characterized in Section 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) with Ioff ≤ ±10 µA at VI or VO = 5.5 V and VCC = 0 V. It enables safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes and field-upgradeable POS terminals without risking damage to upstream logic.
Can the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR interface a 5-V sensor with a 1.8-V microcontroller?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR accepts inputs up to 5.5 V across its full 1.65–3.6-V VCC range, enabling direct connection of 5-V sensors to a 1.8-V-powered MCU. Input thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VIH = 0.65×VCC at 1.65 V), and bus-hold maintains valid logic states during signal transitions. This behavior is documented in Sections 7.3 and 9.1 of the SCES495C datasheet.
How does bus-hold functionality work on the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR?
Bus-hold circuitry on the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR actively maintains the last-valid logic state on all A- and B-port I/Os when inputs are undriven or floating, drawing ±45 µA at 3 V (Section 7.5). It operates independently of OE and DIR states and eliminates external pull resistors - critical for reducing BOM cost and improving reliability in handheld and modular electronics where connector disconnection may occur.
What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR at 2.5 V?
At VCC = 2.5 V, the SN74LVCH16245AZQLR exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 4.5 ns, as specified in Section 7.6 (Switching Characteristics) of SCES495C. This value applies to both A→B and B→A data paths under load conditions of CL = 30 pF and ΔV = ±0.2 V. Typical tpd is 1 ns, supporting high-throughput data transfer in real-time industrial communication links.
