Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR162245DLR from Texas Instruments is a dual-octal noninverting 16-bit bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between buses operating at 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It supports 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, delivers ≤8.5 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and integrates 26-Ω series output resistors and bus-hold circuitry-enabling robust signal integrity in industrial backplane and memory interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR162245DLR datasheet, SN74LVCR162245DLR pinout, SN74LVCR162245DLR application, or SN74LVCR162245DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, dual-direction control via DIR/OE pins, 12 mA output drive capability, and compatibility with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system interconnects.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR162245DLR implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections, each with separate direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls. Its logic diagram confirms noninverting data paths and true 3-state output behavior, where OE = high forces all outputs into high-impedance regardless of DIR state.
Bus-hold circuitry is embedded on all A and B port inputs-active independently of OE/DIR-and eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors. All outputs feature integrated 26-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without requiring PCB-level resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3 V logic systems and tolerance to supply variation. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables safe interfacing with 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 8.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data transfer up to ~117 MHz clock-equivalent rates. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA - sufficient to drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 2 V - actively maintains valid logic levels on floating inputs without external components. |
| Output Series Resistance | 26 Ω - reduces ringing and EMI by damping edge rates; no external termination required. |
| IOZ Leakage (3-State) | ±10 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - ensures minimal power draw and signal leakage during isolation mode. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCR162245DLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, 12.4–12.6 mm body width, and 6.0–6.2 mm body length. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitivity Level-1 rated, and optimized for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow; determines signal path direction independently per section. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Low = outputs active; High = all outputs enter high-impedance state, isolating both buses. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A data I/O (input/output) | 8-bit bidirectional data channel A; accepts 5.5 V-tolerant inputs and drives 3.3 V outputs. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B data I/O (input/output) | 8-bit bidirectional data channel B; identical electrical characteristics to Port A. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply powers internal logic and I/O buffers; multiple VCC pins reduce supply noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for switching currents and improve noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for discrete termination resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area while controlling edge-induced EMI. |
| Active bus-hold on all data inputs | Maintains stable logic states on unused or unterminated inputs, preventing metastability and eliminating external biasing components. |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct connection to legacy 5 V logic without voltage translation, simplifying mixed-voltage system design. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes during simultaneous switching, improving signal integrity in dense layouts. |
| Latch-up immunity > 250 mA | Meets JEDEC JESD-17 requirements, ensuring robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD stress conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADLR | No bus-hold; no 5.5 V-tolerant inputs; max tpd = 6.1 ns at 3.3 V. | Requires external pull resistors; limited to 3.3 V-only systems; faster but less robust in noisy environments. | Choose when maximum speed is critical and bus-hold/5 V tolerance are unnecessary. |
| SN74AVC162245DGGR | Wider VCC range (1.2 V to 3.6 V); lower drive (8 mA); no integrated 26-Ω resistors. | Suitable for ultra-low-voltage SoC interfaces; requires external termination; lacks bus-hold for floating inputs. | Prefer for battery-powered or multi-rail voltage-scalable designs where 3.3 V robustness is secondary. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADLR and SN74AVC162245DGGR, the SN74LVCR162245DLR uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, active bus-hold, and integrated 26-Ω termination-making it optimal for industrial and mixed-voltage backplane applications where reliability and BOM simplification outweigh marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74LVCR162245DLR to ensure high-impedance outputs?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up, tie OE (pins 1 and 24) to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI specifies the minimum resistance based on the driver's current-sinking capability-typically ≤10 kΩ suffices for most 3.3 V systems. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes. The SN74LVCR162245DLR does not require special sequencing for DIR or data pins, but OE must be asserted high before VCC stabilizes. Always verify against latest TI application notes SCBA004 and SCES047E.
Does SN74LVCR162245DLR support hot-swap operation, and what design precautions apply?
Yes, SN74LVCR162245DLR supports hot-swap operation due to its 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, high-impedance 3-state outputs, and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JEDEC JESD-17. To ensure robustness, connect OE to a controlled enable signal rather than tying directly to VCC, use series resistors on DIR/OE lines to limit inrush current, and implement staggered VCC ramping if possible. The SN74LVCR162245DLR's bus-hold circuitry further prevents floating-input faults during partial insertion. Refer to TI's hot-swap guidelines in SLVA612.
How does the bus-hold feature of SN74LVCR162245DLR interact with OE and DIR control signals?
The bus-hold circuitry in SN74LVCR162245DLR operates independently of OE and DIR-it remains fully active even when outputs are disabled (OE = high) or direction is undefined. Bus-hold maintains valid logic levels on all A and B port inputs (1A1–1A8, 1B1–1B8, etc.) using ±75 µA hold current, eliminating need for external biasing. TI explicitly warns against combining bus-hold with pullup/pulldown resistors, as this may cause excessive current draw. The SN74LVCR162245DLR's bus-hold is always enabled and cannot be disabled via any control pin.
Can SN74LVCR162245DLR be used as a single 16-bit transceiver instead of two independent 8-bit units?
Yes, SN74LVCR162245DLR can operate as a unified 16-bit transceiver by tying 1DIR and 2DIR together, and 1OE and 2OE together-effectively synchronizing both 8-bit sections. The device's functional table confirms identical behavior across sections, and its pinout allows straightforward external wiring. However, doing so forfeits independent control of direction and enable per byte lane, which may be needed for byte-selective operations in memory or protocol interfaces. The SN74LVCR162245DLR's dual-section architecture is intentionally flexible for either configuration.
What is the thermal performance of SN74LVCR162245DLR in its SSOP (DL) package, and how does it affect continuous operation?
The SN74LVCR162245DLR in SSOP (DL) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 63°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7 on a standard 4-layer board. At maximum recommended VCC = 3.6 V and full 16-bit switching, typical power dissipation is <150 mW-resulting in <10°C junction rise above ambient. This allows reliable continuous operation from –40°C to 85°C without heatsinking. TI specifies absolute max VCC = 4.6 V and storage temperature up to 150°C, but sustained operation above 85°C ambient requires derating per SCES047E Section 6.2. The SN74LVCR162245DLR's low static ICC (<20 µA) further minimizes self-heating.
