Product details
Overview
SN74LVT16543DLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC designed for 3.3-V VCC operation with 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs, supporting mixed-mode signal interfacing between 3.3-V and 5-V systems. It features dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths, independent latch-enable (LEAB/LEBA) and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) controls per direction, and bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pullups. It is used in high-speed backplane and motherboard interface bridging where voltage-level translation and registered data flow are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT16543DLR datasheet, SN74LVT16543DLR pinout, SN74LVT16543DLR application, or SN74LVT16543DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V supply with 5-V I/O tolerance, 56-pin SSOP (DL) package, ±64-mA output drive, bus-hold input retention, and support for live insertion in hot-swap systems.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT16543DLR implements two independent 8-bit registered transceiver channels using Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT), enabling simultaneous A-to-B and B-to-A data flow with separate control logic. Each channel includes dedicated CE, LE, and OE inputs, allowing asynchronous latching and 3-state output control without inter-channel dependency.
Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused inputs at 3 V, while distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through pin architecture minimize switching noise and optimize PCB routing. The device operates across −40°C to 85°C and supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct connection to 3.3-V rails and tolerance for battery droop in portable systems |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting components |
| Output Drive | ±64 mA (IOL/IOH) - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs in backplane applications |
| Propagation Delay | 1.4–5.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - supports >100-MHz data throughput in registered mode under typical conditions |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic thresholds, removing need for external bias resistors |
| Power Dissipation | 1.4 W (DL package, still air) - thermally manageable in dense board layouts with standard airflow |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883C for robustness in handling and assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT16543DLR is housed in a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, 0.5-mm pitch, with 1.2-mm max height and Q1 pin-1 orientation in tape.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers independently per 8-bit channel; must be low for B or A outputs to drive |
| 1LEAB, 2LEAB, 1LEBA, 2LEBA | Latch Enable (active-low) | Places corresponding A or B latches into transparent mode when low; rising edge captures data |
| 1CEAB, 2CEAB, 1CEBA, 2CEBA | Chip Enable (active-low) | Must be low to enable data capture or output; gates both latch and output functions per channel |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Input/Output Port A (Channel 1 & 2) | 8-bit bidirectional data terminals for first and second A-side interfaces; support 5-V tolerant signaling |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Input/Output Port B (Channel 1 & 2) | 8-bit bidirectional data terminals for first and second B-side interfaces; electrically identical to A ports |
| VCC, GND | Power and Ground | Distributed across package (12 total pins) - reduces simultaneous switching noise and improves power integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 3.3-V/5-V I/O | Enables seamless integration between modern low-voltage logic and legacy 5-V subsystems without external translators |
| Independent Channel Control | Each 8-bit path has dedicated CE/LE/OE - permits asymmetric data flow (e.g., A→B active while B→A disabled) |
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Live Insertion Support | With proper power sequencing (OE tied to VCC via pullup), allows safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes |
| Flow-Through Pinout | A/B signals enter and exit opposite sides of package - simplifies layer routing and minimizes trace crossovers on 4+ layer PCBs |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH16543DGGR | Lower drive (±32 mA), LVTH family - uses lower-power LVT logic with reduced speed (tPD up to 7.7 ns) | Better suited for low-power, lower-frequency industrial control where 64-mA drive is unnecessary | Choose if system load capacitance ≤30 pF and max frequency <80 MHz; saves ~40% ICC in standby |
| 74ALVC164245DGGR | Non-registered, dual-supply (VCCA/VCCB), no bus-hold - requires external pullups and lacks latch synchronization | Applicable only where asynchronous translation suffices and timing-critical registration is not needed | Select when deterministic latency is not required and board space allows external biasing; avoids register propagation delay |
Compared with SN74LVTH16543DGGR and 74ALVC164245DGGR, the SN74LVT16543DLR uniquely combines 64-mA drive, integrated bus-hold, and full registration per channel - making it optimal for high-reliability, hot-swap-capable 16-bit bridging where signal integrity and timing control are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVT16543DLR?
The SN74LVT16543DLR is characterized for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade rating ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as base station equipment, factory-floor controllers, and network edge devices where thermal management is constrained. The DL package's thermal resistance supports this range under specified power dissipation limits.
Does the SN74LVT16543DLR require external pullup resistors on its data inputs?
No, the SN74LVT16543DLR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, which maintains unused or floating inputs at valid logic thresholds without external components. This feature eliminates the need for 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB real estate - a key advantage over non-bus-hold transceivers like the 74ALVC164245.
Can the SN74LVT16543DLR interface directly with 5-V logic while powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74LVT16543DLR supports mixed-mode operation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2.7–3.6 V), and its outputs drive to valid TTL levels when loaded. This allows direct connection to 5-V CMOS/TTL devices without level translators - confirmed by VIH/VIL specs (2.0 V/0.8 V) and absolute max ratings (VI = 7 V).
What is the recommended power-up sequence for reliable operation of the SN74LVT16543DLR?
To ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up, TI recommends tying all OE inputs to VCC through a pullup resistor (value determined by driver sink capability). For the SN74LVT16543DLR, a 4.7-kΩ resistor is typical. This prevents bus contention before firmware initializes control signals - a requirement explicitly stated in the datasheet's "power up/down" guidance.
Is the SN74LVT16543DLR pin-compatible with other members of the LVT16543 family?
Yes, the SN74LVT16543DLR shares identical pinout and functionality with other DL- and DGG-packaged variants (e.g., SN74LVT16543DL, SN74LVT16543DGGR), differing only in packaging and reel/tube configuration. All share the same 56-pin SSOP footprint, electrical behavior, and timing characteristics - enabling drop-in replacement across assembly formats without layout changes.
