Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16540ADGVR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation in wide-bus data-path interfaces. It features dual 8-bit sections, each with independent active-low 2-input AND-gated output-enable (OE1/OE2), bus-hold on all inputs, Ioff partial-power-down support, and 5.5-V-tolerant inputs-enabling mixed-mode 3.3-V/5-V signal translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR datasheet, SN74LVCH16540ADGVR pinout, SN74LVCH16540ADGVR application, or SN74LVCH16540ADGVR equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed, low-voltage bus interfacing where input voltage tolerance, bus-hold stability, and controlled 3-state enable timing are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16540ADGVR implements two independent 8-bit noninverting buffer sections, each with separate OE1/OE2 control logic forming a 2-input AND gate (active-low) to drive corresponding Y outputs into high-impedance when either OE is high. Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on undriven inputs without external resistors.
It supports partial-power-down via Ioff, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, and accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling robust level-shifting between 5-V legacy peripherals and 3.3-V logic domains.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Active-low 2-input AND enable control | Either OE high forces corresponding 8-bit Y outputs into high-Z; enables independent section gating. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data inputs | Noninverting inputs for each 8-bit section; feature bus-hold and 5.5-V tolerance. |
| 1Y1–1Y8, 2Y1–2Y8 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive external buses; high-Z when enabled off; VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 24 mA ensures noise margin. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve switching noise immunity across wide bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for simultaneous switching outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal translation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs operate reliably with 3.3-V VCC, eliminating discrete level shifters in 3.3/5-V interconnects. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Actively holds unused A-inputs at last-valid logic state, removing need for 10-kΩ external pull resistors and saving board space. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow from powered sections into unpowered VCC domains, supporting hot-swap and power-gating architectures. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | Typical <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - Reduces simultaneous switching noise coupling into analog or clock domains. |
| High noise immunity | VIH = 2.0 V / VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - Provides ≥0.7 V DC noise margin against EMI in industrial environments. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V vs. ±24 mA @ 3.0 V); no bus-hold; 1.65–3.6 V only; inputs not 5.5-V tolerant. | Suitable only in fully 3.3-V systems with external pull resistors; cannot replace SN74LVCH16540ADGVR in mixed-voltage designs. | Select when cost is prioritized over voltage flexibility and bus-hold; requires redesign of input termination. |
| 74ALVC164245DGGR | Bidirectional with direction control; 4.5-V max VCC; 5.5-V input tolerance retained; higher tpd (5.2 ns). | Used where data flow reverses (e.g., memory read/write); adds direction pin complexity and timing overhead. | Choose only if bidirectional operation is mandatory; otherwise SN74LVCH16540ADGVR offers superior unidirectional speed and simplicity. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and 74ALVC164245DGGR, the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and sub-4-ns propagation delay in a unidirectional 16-bit buffer-making it irreplaceable in mixed-voltage industrial backplanes requiring zero external biasing and minimal timing margin loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR?
The SN74LVCH16540ADGVR has a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 3.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, corresponding to a theoretical maximum toggle frequency of approximately 135 MHz under ideal load conditions. Real-world bus operation typically sustains 80–100 MHz with 15-pF loads and proper termination, as confirmed by TI's switching characteristics table in SCAS569H.
Does the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A-inputs, which maintains the last-valid logic state without external resistors. TI explicitly warns against using pull-up/pull-down resistors with bus-hold enabled, as they may conflict with internal holding current and cause undefined behavior or increased power draw.
Can the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR supports hot-swap via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current flow to ±10 µA, preventing damaging back-current from live buses into unpowered sections. This is validated in TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables under Ioff test conditions.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR to ensure high-impedance outputs at startup?
To guarantee outputs remain in high-impedance during power-up, TI recommends tying OE1 and OE2 to VCC through pullup resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ, ensuring OE stays low until VCC stabilizes above 1.65 V.
Is the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR pin-compatible with other 48-pin Widebus™ buffers like the SN74LVCH16244A?
No, the SN74LVCH16540ADGVR is not pin-compatible with SN74LVCH16244A. While both use 48-pin TSSOP/TVSOP packages, their pinouts differ significantly: SN74LVCH16540ADGVR has dual 8-bit sections with four OE pins and interleaved A/Y/GND/VCC placement, whereas SN74LVCH16244A uses a single 16-bit configuration with two OE pins and different terminal mapping per TI package drawings DGG/DGV.
