Product details
Overview
SN74LVCHR16245AVR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between mixed-voltage buses (1.65 V–3.6 V VCC). It features 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, integrated 26-Ω output series resistors, bus-hold circuitry on all data I/Os, and Ioff support for live insertion and partial power-down. It enables level translation in telecom infrastructure backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCHR16245AVR datasheet, SN74LVCHR16245AVR pinout, SN74LVCHR16245AVR application, or SN74LVCHR16245AVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.8 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, dual independent DIR/OE control per 8-bit section, 125°C operating temperature rating, and TVSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCHR16245AVR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections-each with dedicated direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls-allowing simultaneous A→B and B→A data flow under separate logic supervision. Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on floating inputs without external resistors, while Ioff blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V.
All 32 I/O pins (16 A-side, 16 B-side) are 5.5-V tolerant regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling robust down-translation from 5-V peripherals to 3.3-V or 1.8-V system buses. Output drivers integrate 26-Ω series resistance to suppress overshoot/undershoot, eliminating need for external termination in point-to-point or lightly loaded stub applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Supports single-supply operation across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains |
| Max Propagation Delay (tpd) | 4.8 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Enables high-speed data transfer in ≤200-MHz bus systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL/CMOS without level-shifter ICs |
| Output Series Resistance | 26 Ω (integrated) - Reduces signal ringing and EMI without requiring external series resistors |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±45 µA at VCC = 3 V - Maintains stable logic state on unused/floating I/Os; eliminates pullup/pulldown resistors |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-drive current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCHR16245AVR is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), body size 9.70 mm × 4.40 mm, with 0.4-mm lead pitch. The package supports fine-pitch routing and automated assembly in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L → B→A; DIR = H → A→B |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places both A and B ports in high-impedance state |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data I/O Port A | First and second octal data port; bidirectional, 5.5-V tolerant, bus-hold enabled |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Data I/O Port B | Corresponding bidirectional B-side ports with identical electrical characteristics as A-side |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve noise immunity |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground Reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all I/O and internal logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs enable interoperability between 5-V, 3.3-V, 2.5-V, and 1.8-V subsystems without external translators |
| Integrated 26-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for discrete series termination resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-speed bus designs |
| Bus-hold on all data I/Os | Actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, preventing metastability and eliminating external pullup/pulldown networks |
| Ioff partial power-down protection | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe live insertion and back-drive prevention in modular systems |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes switching noise coupling into shared ground planes, critical for mixed-signal integrity in dense layouts |
Applications
| Telecom Backplane Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245A | Lacks bus-hold and Ioff; 5-V-tolerant inputs only up to VCC + 0.5 V (not 5.5 V absolute) | Suitable for same-voltage domain buffering only; not recommended for mixed-voltage or hot-swap use cases | Select SN74LVCHR16245AVR when bus-hold, Ioff, or true 5.5-V input tolerance is required |
| SN74AVC16245 | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns @ 3.3 V); no integrated series resistors | Better for ultra-low-voltage, high-frequency applications but requires external termination and external hold resistors | Choose SN74LVCHR16245AVR when integrated termination and bus-hold simplify layout and reduce component count |
Compared with SN74LVC16245A and SN74AVC16245, the SN74LVCHR16245AVR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, integrated 26-Ω output resistors, and active bus-hold in a single 48-pin TVSOP package-reducing design risk in mixed-voltage, high-reliability industrial and telecom systems.

FAQ
What voltage levels can the SN74LVCHR16245AVR inputs tolerate?
The SN74LVCHR16245AVR inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct connection to 5-V TTL or CMOS outputs without external level-shifting circuitry. This capability is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official datasheet.
Does the SN74LVCHR16245AVR require external pullup or pulldown resistors on unused I/Os?
No. The SN74LVCHR16245AVR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all data I/O pins, which maintains valid logic states on floating inputs without external resistors. Using external pullups or pulldowns with the SN74LVCHR16245AVR is not recommended and may interfere with bus-hold functionality.
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74LVCHR16245AVR at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of the SN74LVCHR16245AVR is 4.8 ns when VCC = 3.3 V, as measured under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF, ΔV = ±0.3 V). This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
How does the Ioff feature of the SN74LVCHR16245AVR support live insertion?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVCHR16245AVR disables output drivers and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-drive current from powered subsystems into unpowered boards. This allows safe hot-plug operation in modular telecom and server chassis where the SN74LVCHR16245AVR serves as an interface bridge.
What package type is used for the SN74LVCHR16245AVR?
The SN74LVCHR16245AVR uses a 48-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), designated as DGV, with dimensions of 9.70 mm × 4.40 mm and 0.4-mm lead pitch. This package is optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated surface-mount assembly.
