Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16541 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with dual 3-state output-enable control per 8-bit section, 2.7–3.6 V supply range, ±100 µA Ioff, and bus-hold on all data inputs. It enables mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V system interfacing in backplane and memory expansion applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16541 datasheet, SN74LVTH16541 pinout, SN74LVTH16541 application, or SN74LVTH16541 equivalent, key selection criteria include hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, distributed VCC/GND for noise reduction, flow-through pinout for PCB layout optimization, and TTL-compatible input thresholds at 3.3-V VCC.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit buffer sections, each controlled by two active-low OE inputs (e.g., 1OE1/1OE2 for Section 1); both must be low to enable outputs. Outputs enter high-impedance state if either OE is high, or when VCC is below 1.5 V during power-up/down.
Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) delivers low static power and supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V. Bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic levels on floating inputs without external resistors, and distributed VCC/GND pins minimize simultaneous switching noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated Li-ion or DC-DC rail operation without LDO regulation |
| Ioff | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents backflow current during hot insertion or partial power-down |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VCC = 3 V - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic level, eliminating pullup/pulldown resistors |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2.0 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures sub-4 ns propagation delay for high-speed address/data buffering |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without signal degradation |
| θJA | 89°C/W (DGG package) - defines thermal derating limit for sustained 16-bit switching at ambient up to 85°C |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and communications equipment |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16541 is housed in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline (DGG) package with 0.5-mm pitch, 10.0 mm × 10.0 mm body, and exposed pad-less construction optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Active-low output-enable controls | Independent enable for each 8-bit section; both OE signals per section must be low to activate Y outputs |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data inputs | Noninverting inputs with bus-hold; tolerate 5-V inputs while operating at 3.3-V VCC |
| 1Y1–1Y8, 2Y1–2Y8 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive 5-V TTL loads; high-impedance when any corresponding OE is high or VCC < 1.5 V |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and switching noise across 16-bit bus |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 21, 31, 42, 45) | Ground reference | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage tolerance | 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC - enables direct interface between legacy 5-V logic and modern low-voltage buses |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent damage and bus contention during live board replacement in telecom or server backplanes |
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides - simplifies layer routing and reduces trace crossovers in dense PCB layouts |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - ensures robustness against transient-induced latch-up in noisy industrial environments |
| ESD protection | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling and assembly reliability |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVT16541DGGR | Same pinout and function but uses LVT (not LVTH) process; no bus-hold; lower drive (32 mA sink) | Lacks bus-hold - requires external pullups on unused inputs; unsuitable for floating-input scenarios | Select only if bus-hold is unnecessary and lower power consumption is prioritized |
| 74ALVCH16541T | 48-pin TSSOP; 1.65–3.6 V VCC; 24 mA drive; no Ioff or hot-insertion support | Not rated for hot insertion; lacks Ioff protection - incompatible with live-backplane systems | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-hot-swap applications with strict low-voltage operation (≤3.3 V) |
Compared with SN74LVTH16541, SN74LVT16541DGGR omits bus-hold and reduces drive strength, while 74ALVCH16541T sacrifices hot-insertion capability and operates at narrower voltage range - making SN74LVTH16541 uniquely suited for mixed-voltage, hot-swap-capable industrial backplanes.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74LVTH16541?
The SN74LVTH16541 operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V on VCC. It supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V and tolerates 5-V input/output signals while powered at 3.3 V, enabling seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems without external level shifters. This range is fully specified per TI's recommended operating conditions.
Does SN74LVTH16541 support hot insertion?
Yes, SN74LVTH16541 supports hot insertion via two key features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 to prevent damaging current backflow, and power-up 3-state forces outputs into high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These functions are explicitly validated in the datasheet for live-board replacement in telecom and server backplanes.
What is the purpose of bus-hold circuitry in SN74LVTH16541?
The bus-hold circuitry in SN74LVTH16541 actively maintains unused or floating data inputs at valid logic levels (±75 µA hold current at VCC = 3 V), eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors. This reduces BOM count, saves PCB space, and improves reliability in systems with dynamically configurable I/O.
How many output-enable inputs does SN74LVTH16541 have, and how do they work?
SN74LVTH16541 has four active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE1 and 1OE2 for the first 8-bit section, and 2OE1 and 2OE2 for the second. Both OE inputs per section must be low to enable that section's outputs; if either is high, the corresponding Y outputs go high-impedance. This provides granular control over 16-bit bus partitioning.
What package type is used for SN74LVTH16541, and what are its key mechanical features?
SN74LVTH16541 uses the DGG package: a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline (TSSOP) with 0.5-mm pitch, 10.0 mm × 10.0 mm body size, and no exposed thermal pad. Its flow-through pinout - inputs on one side, outputs on the opposite - optimizes PCB routing, while distributed VCC/GND pins minimize switching noise in high-speed applications.
