Product details
Overview
SN74LVCR16245AGQLR 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 infrastructure interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR datasheet, SN74LVCR16245AGQLR pinout, SN74LVCR16245AGQLR application, or SN74LVCR16245AGQLR equivalent, key selection factors include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, 5.5-V input tolerance for 3.3-V/5-V level translation, dual independent DIR/OE control per 8-bit section, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to 125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCR16245AGQLR implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver sections, each controlled by dedicated DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its logic-level translation capability arises from overvoltage-tolerant input circuitry that accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling reliable interfacing between 3.3-V system logic and legacy 5-V peripherals.
Each I/O port features integrated 26-Ω series termination to damp signal edges and reduce EMI from long PCB traces or cables. The device includes active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs to maintain valid logic states when undriven, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into low-voltage embedded systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows connection to 5-V sources while powered from 3.3-V rails, supporting mixed-voltage board designs. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.8 ns at 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data transfer in applications requiring sub-5-ns timing margins. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA at 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate capacitive stubs without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at 5.5 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments with wide thermal swings. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets JEDEC JESD22-A114-A for robust handling in manufacturing and field service. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74LVCR16245AGQLR is packaged in a 48-pin GQL (microStar BGA) package measuring 7.00 mm × 4.50 mm, optimized for high-density routing and thermal performance in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction: DIR = L enables B→A; DIR = H enables A→B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (per 8-bit section) | Active-low control: OE = L enables outputs; OE = H places ports in high-impedance isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side bidirectional I/O port | Connects to local bus or controller side; accepts and drives signals with 26-Ω series resistance. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side bidirectional I/O port | Connects to remote bus or peripheral side; electrically identical to A-side with same termination. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across the 48-pin BGA array. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and enhance signal integrity for high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs at 1.65–3.6-V VCC enable seamless 3.3-V/5-V voltage domain bridging without external translators. |
| Integrated 26-Ω series output resistors | Eliminate need for discrete termination components, reducing BOM count and PCB area while suppressing edge-induced EMI. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections during hot-insertion or system sleep modes, protecting downstream circuitry. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Actively maintains valid logic levels on unused or floating A/B port inputs, preventing metastability and system lockup. |
| High-speed 3-state outputs | Guaranteed 4.8 ns tpd at 3.3 V ensures compatibility with DDR2/DDR3 memory bus timing budgets and high-throughput switch fabrics. |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interconnect | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | No Ioff support; 5-V-tolerant inputs only up to VCC + 0.5 V (not 5.5 V absolute); no integrated 26-Ω resistors. | Suitable for fixed-rail 3.3-V-only systems without hot-swap requirements; requires external termination for EMI control. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs Ioff and mixed-voltage needs; verify VCC-dependent input limits match system voltage stack-up. |
| SN74AVC16245DGVR | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V); higher speed (3.2 ns tpd at 2.5 V); no bus-hold; 12-Ω series resistors. | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage mobile SoC interconnects; lacks robustness for industrial 5-V peripheral interfacing. | Prefer for battery-powered or advanced-node designs needing sub-4-ns latency; avoid where 5.5-V input tolerance or bus-hold is required. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74AVC16245DGVR, the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR uniquely combines 5.5-V absolute input tolerance, Ioff-enabled live insertion, and integrated 26-Ω termination-making it the only option qualified for mixed-voltage telecom and industrial backplane applications demanding reliability under partial power-down conditions.

FAQ
What voltage levels can the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR inputs tolerate?
The SN74LVCR16245AGQLR inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct interfacing with 5-V logic while operating from a 3.3-V supply. This absolute 5.5-V tolerance-not relative to VCC-is confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings and Section 9.3 Feature Description of the SCES427B datasheet.
Does the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR support hot-plug or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. This is explicitly documented in the Features list and Section 9.3, and verified by the ±10 µA Ioff leakage spec at 5.5 V in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics.
How does the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR handle unused inputs?
The SN74LVCR16245AGQLR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-port inputs, which maintains undriven or floating pins at valid logic HIGH or LOW states. This eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors and prevents undefined operation-confirmed in the Features section and Section 9.1 Overview of the datasheet.
What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR is 4.8 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, as specified in the Features list and Table 7-6 Switching Characteristics. This value is measured under defined load conditions (CL = 50 pF, ∆V = ±0.3 V) and applies to both A→B and B→A data paths.
Which packages are available for the SN74LVCR16245AGQLR?
The SN74LVCR16245AGQLR is exclusively offered in the GQL (microStar BGA) package: 48-pin, 7.00 mm × 4.50 mm body size, with ball pitch of 0.5 mm. This is confirmed in the Device Information table (Section 3) and the Package Option Addendum, where "GQL" is the only package listed for part number SN74LVCR16245AGQLR.
