Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR16245ADL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 1.65–3.6-V buses. It supports mixed-mode signaling (5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 3.3-V VCC), delivers 4.8-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and integrates 26-Ω series output resistors to suppress switching noise-used in server backplanes and telecom line cards requiring level translation and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR16245ADL datasheet, SN74LVCR16245ADL pinout, SN74LVCR16245ADL application, or SN74LVCR16245ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include its Ioff-enabled live insertion capability, 5.5-V input tolerance across full VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), guaranteed 3-state isolation under partial power-down, and compatibility with TSSOP/SSOP/TVSOP 48-pin packages including DL.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR16245ADL implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins. Its logic-level translation relies on overvoltage-tolerant input structures enabling 5.5-V signals at any valid VCC (1.65–3.6 V), while internal 26-Ω series resistors on all I/Os dampen edge rates to reduce ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and VOH undershoot (VOHV > 2 V) at 3.3 V.
Functional modes are defined by OE (isolation when high) and DIR (A→B when high, B→A when low). The device features active bus-hold on unused inputs, Ioff protection for back-drive immunity during power sequencing, and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17-making it suitable for hot-swap-capable infrastructure systems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74LVCR16245ADL is packaged in SSOP (DL) with 48 leads, body size 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm. Pin numbering follows standard DL package top-view layout with GND and VCC distributed across multiple pins for low-impedance power delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction: DIR = H enables A→B; DIR = L enables B→A. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | OE = L activates transceiver outputs; OE = H places both A and B ports in high-impedance state. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side I/O port (data bus A) | Connects to local processor or controller bus; accepts 5.5-V inputs regardless of VCC. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side I/O port (data bus B) | Interfaces with peripheral or expansion bus; outputs drive 3.3-V logic levels with 26-Ω edge control. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus traces. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths essential for clean 3-state switching and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 1.65–3.6-V VCC enables seamless 5-V/3.3-V bus bridging without external translators. |
| Integrated 26-Ω series resistors | Eliminates need for 8–16 external termination resistors; reduces PCB area, BOM count, and layout complexity. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion into powered-backplane systems. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Actively holds unused A/B port inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating need for external pull-up/down resistors. |
| Low ground bounce & undershoot | VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V ensure signal integrity in dense, high-speed backplane routing. |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interfacing | 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 5.5-V input tolerance; max VI = VCC + 0.3 V; no integrated 26-Ω resistors. | Requires external termination and level-shifting for 5-V interfaces; unsuitable for mixed-voltage hot-swap. | Select only if operating exclusively in 3.3-V-only systems with controlled edge rates and no live-insertion requirement. |
| SN74AVC16245 | Supports 1.2–3.6-V VCC; 5-V tolerant inputs only up to 3.6 V; lower tpd (3.2 ns @ 3.3 V) but no Ioff. | Better speed for low-voltage designs; lacks Ioff, limiting use in partial-power-down scenarios. | Prefer for battery-powered embedded systems needing ultra-low VCC; avoid where back-drive protection is mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SN74LVCR16245ADL?
The SN74LVCR16245ADL supports input voltages up to 5.5 V across its entire VCC operating range (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct connection to 5-V logic without external level shifters. This overvoltage tolerance is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified under Recommended Operating Conditions with VI ≤ 5.5 V.
Does SN74LVCR16245ADL support hot-plug or live-insertion applications?
Yes, SN74LVCR16245ADL supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V. This prevents damaging current backflow during partial power-down-critical for telecom line cards and server backplanes where modules are inserted into powered systems.
What package type is used for SN74LVCR16245ADL?
SN74LVCR16245ADL uses the SSOP (DL) package: 48-pin, body size 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm, with lead finish NIPDAU and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. This package is confirmed in TI's orderable addendum and mechanical drawings for part number SN74LVCR16245ADLR and SN74LVCR16245ADLR.B.
How does the 26-Ω series resistor on each I/O benefit system design?
The integrated 26-Ω series resistors on all SN74LVCR16245ADL I/Os slow output edge rates to reduce ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and VOH undershoot (VOHV > 2 V), eliminating the need for 16 discrete termination resistors. This simplifies layout, cuts BOM cost, and improves signal integrity on long PCB traces or cables.
Can SN74LVCR16245ADL operate at 1.8 V VCC?
Yes, SN74LVCR16245ADL is fully specified from 1.65 V to 3.6 V VCC. At 1.8 V, it delivers typical tpd of 7.8 ns and supports VIH/VIL thresholds scaled to 0.65×VCC and 0.35×VCC respectively-making it compatible with low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs while maintaining 5.5-V input tolerance.
