Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16952ADLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between A and B buses in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, accepts 5.5-V inputs, delivers ≤6.6 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff. It is used in high-density memory interface and bus isolation applications requiring registered data staging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16952ADLR datasheet, SN74LVCH16952ADLR pinout, SN74LVCH16952ADLR application, or SN74LVCH16952ADLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 8-bit register configuration, bus-hold inputs eliminating external resistors, mixed-mode 3.3-V/5-V signal translation capability, and SSOP-56 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16952ADLR implements two independent sets of D-type flip-flops-one for A-to-B and one for B-to-A data flow-each controlled by dedicated clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CEAB/CEBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Its dual-register architecture enables synchronous latching on both data paths without internal arbitration logic.
It features active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, ensuring stable logic levels on floating lines without external pullups; Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current; and input tolerance up to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic while powered from 3.3-V or lower rails.

| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side data inputs/outputs | First and second 8-bit group of bidirectional I/O ports connected to B bus. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and ground | Dual VCC/GND pairs per side ensure low-noise operation and reduce simultaneous switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Accepts 5-V inputs while operating at 1.65–3.6-V VCC - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in 3.3/5-V hybrid systems. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Active on all A/B port inputs - prevents floating nodes and system glitches without external pullup/pulldown resistors. |
| Partial-power-down support (Ioff) | Outputs disable automatically when VCC = 0 V - blocks reverse current flow in hot-swap or standby modes. |
| Dual 8-bit register architecture | Two independent 8-bit register banks allow flexible partitioning as two separate transceivers or one 16-bit unit. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes during high-speed switching - critical for signal integrity in dense layouts. |
Applications
| Memory Interface Buffering | Industrial Backplane Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | No internal registers; unregistered 16-bit transceiver with identical VCC range and 5.5-V tolerant inputs. | Suitable only where asynchronous bus bridging is acceptable; lacks clocked data staging. | Select when deterministic setup/hold timing is not required and lower propagation delay (≤5.2 ns) is prioritized over registration. |
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | Auto-direction sensing, no clock or register controls; supports 1.2–3.6-V VCC and 3.6-V max I/O tolerance. | Used in direction-transparent applications like PCIe sideband or USB PHY interfaces; not suitable for clocked staging. | Choose for dynamic bidirectional control without external clocking logic; avoid when synchronous latching or hold-time compliance is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74LVCH16952ADLR, SN74LVC16245ADGGR offers faster unregistered transfer but no clocked data retention, while SN74AVC16T245DGGR provides automatic direction detection at the cost of losing precise timing control - making SN74LVCH16952ADLR uniquely suited for applications demanding registered, synchronous, mixed-voltage bus interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVCH16952ADLR?
The SN74LVCH16952ADLR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in the timing requirements table. At lower supply voltages (e.g., 1.8 V), the maximum frequency reduces to 130 MHz due to increased propagation delay. This rating assumes proper signal integrity, load capacitance ≤50 pF, and adherence to setup/hold time margins defined in the datasheet.
Does the SN74LVCH16952ADLR require external pull-up resistors on its control inputs?
No, the SN74LVCH16952ADLR does not require external pull-up resistors on control inputs such as OEAB, CEAB, or CLKAB because it includes internal bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs - and control inputs are CMOS-compatible with rail-to-rail thresholds. However, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up to guarantee high-impedance outputs before initialization.
Can the SN74LVCH16952ADLR be used as a level shifter between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16952ADLR can serve as a bidirectional level shifter: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the VCC range. When VCC = 3.3 V, it safely accepts 5-V inputs and drives 3.3-V–compatible outputs - enabling direct interface between 5-V peripherals and 3.3-V controllers without additional translation circuitry.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in the SN74LVCH16952ADLR?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVCH16952ADLR disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow from live I/O lines into the unpowered device. This protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap, partial power-down, or system sleep modes - a critical requirement in modular industrial systems where subsystems may be powered independently.
Is the SN74LVCH16952ADLR pin-compatible with other members of the LVCH16xxx family?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16952ADLR shares the same 56-pin SSOP (DL) footprint and pinout with functionally related devices including SN74LVCH162373ADLR and SN74LVCH16374ADLR, enabling drop-in replacement in designs using registered latches or flip-flops. However, register control logic (e.g., clock polarity, enable behavior) differs - firmware and timing constraints must be verified before substitution.
