Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16245ADL 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 two 8-bit buses in mixed-voltage systems. It supports 5-V-tolerant inputs/outputs at 3.3-V VCC, delivers ±64 mA output drive, features bus-hold circuitry to eliminate external pull resistors, and operates from –40°C to 85°C in SSOP-48 package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16245ADL datasheet, SN74LVTH16245ADL pinout, SN74LVTH16245ADL application, or SN74LVTH16245ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V ABT logic family compatibility, hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, distributed VCC/GND pins for noise suppression, flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout, and 2.7–3.6 V supply range enabling unregulated battery operation.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH16245ADL implements dual 8-bit bidirectional transceivers using Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT), enabling TTL-level interfacing between 3.3-V and 5-V domains without level shifters. Its DIR and OE control inputs independently enable A→B or B→A data flow or place both ports in high-impedance isolation mode.
Active bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on undriven A/B port inputs, eliminating external biasing. Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, while power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-Z during VCC ramp-up from 0 V to 1.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation and stable 3.3-V rail tolerance |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads and interfaces directly with legacy 5-V TTL inputs |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2.3 ns / 2.1 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V - enables high-speed 16-bit bus communication up to ~200 MHz effective throughput |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - compatible with both 3.3-V CMOS and 5-V TTL input thresholds |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA @ VCC = 3.6 V - actively holds floating inputs without external resistors, reducing BOM count and board space |
| IOZPU / IOZPD | ±100 µA - ensures high-impedance state during power-up/down transitions, preventing bus contention |
| θJA | 63 °C/W (DL package) - defines thermal derating for continuous operation at ambient ≤ 70°C under typical airflow |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16245ADL uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with notch or index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Selects data flow direction: low = B→A, high = A→B for respective 8-bit section |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable input | Low enables outputs; high forces both A and B ports into high-impedance state |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (×2) | Bidirectional data I/O | Each pair connects to one 8-bit bus; input circuits always active, requiring defined logic levels |
| VCC (×4), GND (×6) | Power distribution | Distributed supply and ground pins minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | 5-V-tolerant I/Os at 3.3-V VCC enable direct interface with legacy 5-V systems without level translators |
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides of package to simplify layer routing and reduce trace crossovers |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent damage and bus conflicts during live board insertion or removal |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines, saving PCB area and assembly cost |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Multiple power/ground pins reduce ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and improve high-speed switching stability |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Memory Expansion Subsystem |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and translating address/data between a 3.3-V FPGA controller and legacy 5-V SRAM modules on a modular PLC backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus transceiver managing synchronous 16-bit parallel transfers with direction controlled by FPGA GPIO. Use Value: Enables drop-in replacement of older 5-V transceivers while maintaining timing margins due to sub-2.5 ns propagation delay. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting transceiver buffering read/write data paths between SoC and memory controller, with OE synchronized to memory access strobes. Use Value: Eliminates discrete level shifters and reduces BOM count by integrating bus-hold and hot-swap protection in single DL-package device. |
| Hot-Swappable I/O Module | Legacy Peripheral Bridge |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling safe insertion/removal of field I/O cards in a 3.3-V industrial controller rack without powering down the system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolation buffer on card-edge connector, with Ioff disabling outputs during partial insertion to prevent backdrive. Use Value: Meets MIL-STD-1399 hot-insertion requirements via guaranteed high-Z state below 1.5 V VCC and ±100 µA Ioff leakage. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a modern 3.3-V microcontroller to legacy 5-V RS-422 transceivers and optocouplers in factory automation gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-tolerant bus repeater driving multiple 5-V receivers while receiving signals from 5-V sensors. Use Value: Supports 5.5-V absolute max input rating and 2.7–3.6 V supply range, allowing operation across degraded battery rails and noisy industrial supplies. |
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 strength (±24 mA), no bus-hold, LVC family (not ABT), 1.65–3.6 V VCC | Suitable only for light-load, 3.3-V-only systems; lacks 5-V tolerance and hot-swap capability | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage and robustness requirements |
| SN74ALVCH16245DLR | Higher speed (tPLH/tPHL ≈ 1.9 ns), ALVC family, same 48-pin SSOP, no bus-hold | Requires external pull resistors; better for high-frequency clock domains but less tolerant of floating inputs | Prefer when propagation delay is critical and system design guarantees defined input states |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74ALVCH16245DLR, the SN74LVTH16245ADL uniquely combines 5-V I/O tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and Ioff-enabled hot insertion-making it the only choice for legacy-interfacing industrial modules requiring zero external biasing and live-card replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVTH16245ADL?
The SN74LVTH16245ADL is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is specified in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SCBS143R and confirmed across all DL-package variants including SN74LVTH16245ADL and SN74LVTH16245ADLR. Operation outside this range may compromise electrical performance or reliability.
Does the SN74LVTH16245ADL support true 5-V input tolerance?
Yes, the SN74LVTH16245ADL supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, as verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (VI = –0.5 V to 7 V) and Recommended Operating Conditions (VI = 5.5 V). This allows direct connection to 5-V TTL outputs without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can the SN74LVTH16245ADL be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVTH16245ADL is explicitly designed for hot insertion, featuring Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V and power-up 3-state that maintains high-impedance during VCC ramp-up. These capabilities are documented in the Functional Description and Electrical Characteristics sections of the TI datasheet.
What package type does the SN74LVTH16245ADL use?
The SN74LVTH16245ADL uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), designated "DL" in TI's packaging nomenclature. Mechanical drawings confirm dimensions of 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm max height, compliant with JEDEC MO-153 standard.
Is bus-hold functionality enabled by default on the SN74LVTH16245ADL?
Yes, bus-hold circuitry is internal and always active on all A- and B-port inputs of the SN74LVTH16245ADL. It eliminates the need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused or undriven lines, as stated in the Functional Description and Electrical Characteristics (II(hold) parameter).
