Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16241DLR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode interfacing between 3.3-V logic and 5-V systems. It features four independent 4-bit sections, bus-hold on all data inputs, Ioff support for hot insertion, and operates from –40°C to 85°C with VCC = 2.7–3.6 V. Used in backplane transceivers and memory address drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16241DLR datasheet, SN74LVTH16241DLR pinout, SN74LVTH16241DLR application, or SN74LVTH16241DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable control architecture, 64-mA low-level output drive at 3.3 V, bus-hold input retention, distributed VCC/GND layout, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB routing.
Technical Context
This device implements Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) for low static power and TTL-compatible interface capability. Each of its four 4-bit sections has complementary OE/OE controls enabling independent 3-state management, and bus-hold circuitry eliminates external pull resistors on all 16 A-inputs and 16 Y-outputs.
The flow-through pinout minimizes signal crosstalk and supports clean trace routing, while distributed VCC and GND pins reduce simultaneous switching noise. Power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during VCC ramp from 0 to 1.5 V, and Ioff limits reverse current when powered down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives standard TTL loads directly without external buffers |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.2 ns to 3.8 ns (typ/max) - enables >250-MHz data throughput in point-to-point bus applications |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±750 µA max - maintains valid logic state on floating inputs without external biasing components |
| IOFF | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents damaging backflow current during hot-swap or partial-power-down scenarios |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - accepts 5-V TTL signals safely while operating on 3.3-V supply |
| θJA | 94 °C/W (DL package) - defines thermal derating for continuous 16-bit switching in industrial ambient |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control per 4-bit section | Independent 3-state gating for each quadrant; OE and OE are complementary |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs (16 total) | All feature integrated bus-hold; no external pullup/pulldown required |

| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed placement reduces IR drop and switching noise on 3.3-V rail |
| GND (Pins 4, 15, 28, 39) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize return-path inductance for high-speed edges |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage tolerance | 5-V-tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC - enables direct connection to legacy 5-V buses without level shifters |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff + power-up 3-state - allows safe board replacement in live backplanes without system reset |
| Flow-through pinout | Input–output alignment across top/bottom edges - simplifies layer stacking and reduces vias in dense routing |
| Output ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V typical at VCC = 3.3 V - mitigates signal integrity issues in multi-driver parallel buses |
| Latch-up immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - ensures robustness against transient overvoltage events in industrial environments |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Backplane Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving address lines from a 3.3-V microcontroller to multiple 5-V SRAM or Flash devices on a shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 16-bit buffer with 3-state control synchronizing address propagation across memory banks. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters; bus-hold retains last valid address during chip-select transitions. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3-V FPGA I/O bank to a 5-V backplane carrying parallel control/status signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-translating driver providing bidirectional 3-state isolation between domains. Use Value: Withstands 5-V fault conditions on outputs; Ioff prevents backfeed into FPGA during hot-swap maintenance. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Expanding digital I/O count on a programmable logic controller using modular daughterboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 16-bit buffer isolating field-side 5-V logic from 3.3-V controller logic with noise-suppressing layout. Use Value: Distributed VCC/GND pins reduce simultaneous switching noise; latch-up immunity meets IEC 61000-4-2 requirements. | Use Scenario: Conditioning parallel data paths in automated test equipment where signal integrity and timing skew matter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, matched-delay buffer ensuring deterministic setup/hold margins across 16-bit data lanes. Use Value: tsk(LH)/tsk(HL) ≤ 0.5 ns guarantees sub-nanosecond inter-channel skew for synchronized sampling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive (24 mA), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC range | Suitable only for 3.3-V-only systems; requires external pull resistors on unused inputs | Select when cost and power are prioritized over 5-V tolerance and bus-hold convenience |
| SN74ALVCH16244VR | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.8 ns), same 3.3-V operation, no 5-V tolerance | Not compatible with 5-V signaling; lacks Ioff and bus-hold features | Choose for maximum throughput in fully 3.3-V designs where hot-swap is not required |
Compared with SN74LVTH16241DLR, SN74LVC16244ADGGR trades 5-V interface capability and bus-hold for lower static current and cost, while SN74ALVCH16244VR offers faster propagation but sacrifices mixed-voltage robustness and hot-insertion safety - making SN74LVTH16241DLR uniquely suited for legacy-system upgrades and field-replaceable modules.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for SN74LVTH16241DLR?
The SN74LVTH16241DLR is specified to operate over a VCC range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This allows stable functionality under unregulated battery supply conditions down to 2.7 V. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior or damage; absolute maximum VCC is 4.6 V. The SN74LVTH16241DLR maintains full logic performance and output drive strength across the entire recommended range.
Does SN74LVTH16241DLR support hot-plug insertion in live backplanes?
Yes, SN74LVTH16241DLR supports hot insertion via dual protection mechanisms: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing reverse current flow, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC exceeds 1.5 V. These features are production-tested per JEDEC standards and make SN74LVTH16241DLR suitable for modular telecom and industrial backplane applications where field-replaceable units are inserted under power.
How does the bus-hold feature work on SN74LVTH16241DLR inputs?
The SN74LVTH16241DLR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs (A1–A16), which applies ±750 µA dynamic current to retain the last-valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors in unterminated stubs or unused channels. Bus-hold activation is automatic and requires no configuration; it functions across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range and 2.7–3.6 V VCC range.
Can SN74LVTH16241DLR interface directly with 5-V TTL logic?
Yes, SN74LVTH16241DLR accepts 5-V input signals and drives 5-V loads while operating from a 3.3-V VCC supply. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, and outputs deliver TTL-compatible VOH/VOL levels (e.g., VOH ≥ 2.0 V at –32 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 64 mA). This mixed-mode capability is inherent to the ABT process and does not require external level-shifting components - a core design objective confirmed in the device's official description and electrical characteristics tables.
What package type and dimensions does SN74LVTH16241DLR use?
SN74LVTH16241DLR uses the DL package: a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP) measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm with 0.5-mm lead pitch. It is supplied in tubes of 25 units. The DL package features gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), and is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish. Mechanical drawings and land patterns are published by Texas Instruments under package code DL.
