Product details
Overview
SN74LVT16245BDLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit dual-octal noninverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 3.3-V and 5-V buses. It features 48-pin SSOP packaging, ±64 mA output drive at VCC = 3.3 V, support for hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT16245BDLG4 datasheet, SN74LVT16245BDLG4 pinout, SN74LVT16245BDLG4 application, or SN74LVT16245BDLG4 equivalent, this device serves as a mixed-voltage interface solution in memory subsystems, backplane interconnects, and FPGA-to-ASIC bridging where TTL-compatible signaling and low ground bounce (<0.8 V) are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT16245BDLG4 implements two independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each controlled by dedicated DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables 3.3-V operation while tolerating 5-V inputs/outputs, supporting true mixed-mode signal interfacing without level shifters.
Each port maintains active input circuitry regardless of OE state, requiring external logic-level biasing on unused pins. The distributed VCC/GND pin layout minimizes high-speed switching noise, and flow-through pin mapping simplifies PCB routing-critical for high-density data bus designs operating up to 160 MHz (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation |
| Output Drive Strength | ±64 mA per output (IOL = 64 mA, IOH = –32 mA at VCC = 3.3 V) - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with <3.7 ns propagation delay |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5-V TTL logic without external clamping or translation |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff and power-up 3-state - prevents backflow current and bus contention during live board insertion |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures timing compliance in 100+ MHz synchronous bus systems |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C - reduces signal integrity risk in multi-output switching scenarios |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust handling in manufacturing environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT16245BDLG4 is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), DL package variant, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body dimensions, and 1.2 mm max height. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-HIGH) | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = LOW → B→A; DIR = HIGH → A→B |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input (active-LOW) | Disables both A- and B-port outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state when HIGH |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side data I/O terminals | Connect to local 3.3-V bus; inputs always active - must be tied HIGH/LOW if unused |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side data I/O terminals | Interface to 5-V or 3.3-V remote bus; tolerate 5.5-V inputs regardless of VCC |
| VCC (Pins 7, 16, 25, 34, 43) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PDN stability |
| GND (Pins 4, 13, 22, 31, 40) | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interface capability | 3.3-V VCC with 5-V tolerant I/Os enables seamless integration between legacy 5-V and modern low-voltage logic domains |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides of package - eliminates layer jumps and reduces trace length in dense PCB layouts |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V typical at 3.3 V - preserves signal integrity during parallel output switching in memory or address buses |
| Hot-insertion readiness | Ioff disables outputs when VCC = 0 V; power-up 3-state prevents bus conflicts during ramp-up - certified for live-swap applications |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II - ensures reliability in noisy industrial or telecom environments |
Applications
| Memory Subsystem Interface | FPGA-to-ASIC Bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA), 1.65–3.6 V VCC range, no 5-V tolerance - requires external level shifting for 5-V interfaces | Suitable only for pure 3.3-V or lower-voltage systems; not drop-in compatible with mixed-voltage designs | Choose when cost and power efficiency outweigh mixed-voltage requirements and board space allows level-shifter integration. |
| SN74ALVC16245DGGR | Higher speed (tPLH ≤ 2.8 ns), same 1.65–3.6 V range and no 5-V tolerance; improved noise immunity but lacks Ioff | Not suitable for hot-insertion or unpowered-bus scenarios; requires external pullups for safe power-down states | Select for high-speed 3.3-V-only buses where timing margin is critical and hot-swap is not required. |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74ALVC16245DGGR, the SN74LVT16245BDLG4 uniquely delivers 5-V I/O tolerance, hot-insertion support, and robust 64-mA drive within the same 48-pin SSOP footprint - making it the only option for legacy-system upgrades requiring zero hardware redesign.

FAQ
What voltage levels can SN74LVT16245BDLG4 safely interface between?
SN74LVT16245BDLG4 supports true mixed-mode operation: it operates from a 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply while accepting and driving signals from –0.5 V to 5.5 V on all A- and B-port I/Os. This allows direct connection between 3.3-V logic domains and legacy 5-V TTL systems without external level shifters - a key differentiator confirmed in TI's SCBS715E datasheet Section 1.
Does SN74LVT16245BDLG4 support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SN74LVT16245BDLG4 supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent damaging current backflow, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These functions are production-tested and documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official datasheet.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SN74LVT16245BDLG4 in practical PCB layouts?
Based on its specified tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF), SN74LVT16245BDLG4 supports reliable operation up to approximately 160 MHz in well-designed layouts. Real-world throughput depends on trace impedance, stub length, and termination - TI's application notes recommend flow-through routing and distributed VCC/GND to maintain signal integrity at these speeds.
Can unused input pins on SN74LVT16245BDLG4 be left floating?
No - all unused or undriven inputs (including DIR, OE, and data I/Os) must be externally biased to a valid logic HIGH (VCC) or LOW (GND) level. Floating inputs increase ICC and ICCZ, cause unpredictable output states, and may trigger oscillation. TI explicitly mandates this in Section 6.1 of the SCBS715E datasheet under "Recommended Operating Conditions."
Is SN74LVT16245BDLG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the LVT16245B family?
SN74LVT16245BDLG4 (DL package) shares identical pinout and function mapping with SN74LVT16245BDGGR (DGG) and SN74LVT16245BDGVR (DGV) variants - all are 48-pin packages with matching signal assignments per TI's package drawings MPDS006C and DGG0048A. However, mechanical dimensions and thermal performance differ, requiring layout review before substitution.
