Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16952DLR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode (3.3-V VCC / 5-V I/O) bus interfacing in industrial and embedded systems. It supports dual 8-bit or single 16-bit data flow, features bus-hold on all data inputs, operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, and delivers 150 MHz max clock frequency with <0.8 V typical output ground bounce.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16952DLR datasheet, SN74LVTH16952DLR pinout, SN74LVTH16952DLR application, or SN74LVTH16952DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, TTL-compatible 5-V input tolerance, distributed VCC/GND for noise reduction, flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout, and -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH16952DLR implements two independent 8-bit registered transceiver channels (A↔B), each with dedicated clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) controls. Data latching occurs on the low-to-high clock transition when clock-enable is low, and outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high.
Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables 3.3-V core operation while accepting 5-V inputs and driving 5-V-tolerant loads. Bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic levels on floating A/B data pins without external resistors, and Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current.
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 with stable timing and logic integrity |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-speed synchronous data transfer between 3.3-V and 5-V domains |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives standard TTL loads directly without buffering |
| VOL / VOH | 0.55 V / 2.0 V at IOL = 64 mA / IOH = –32 mA - ensures robust noise margins in mixed-voltage systems |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 0.8 V / 2.0 V - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents damaging current backflow during live board insertion |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade reliability in demanding environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16952DLR uses a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 13.9 mm × 7.4 mm × 1.95 mm body, with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner and located in Quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers for respective 8-bit port segments; high = high-Z, low = enabled |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB, 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register Clock (rising-edge triggered) | Latches A→B or B→A data on low-to-high transition when corresponding CLKEN is low |
| 1CLKENAB, 2CLKENAB, 1CLKENBA, 2CLKENBA | Clock Enable (active-low) | Gates clock propagation to registers; high = clock blocked, low = clock active |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8, 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Data I/O (bidirectional, bus-hold enabled) | 16-bit A and B ports with internal bus-hold; tolerate 5-V inputs while powered from 3.3-V VCC |
| VCC, GND (12× each) | Distributed Power/Ground | Minimizes simultaneous switching noise via interleaved VCC/GND pins across package edges |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16T245DGGR | Lower drive strength (24 mA), no bus-hold, 1.65–5.5 V VCC range, no Ioff | Suitable for general-purpose level shifting but lacks hot-insertion and bus-stability features | Select when cost and board space are prioritized over industrial robustness and floating-input immunity |
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | Higher speed (225 MHz), lower VOL (0.25 V), no bus-hold, supports 1.2–3.6 V VCC only | Better for high-frequency DDR or PCIe sideband signaling, but incompatible with 5-V inputs | Choose for next-gen low-voltage designs requiring sub-ns propagation delay and tighter voltage margins |
Compared with SN74LVC16T245DGGR and SN74AVC16T245DGGR, the SN74LVTH16952DLR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, Ioff-enabled hot insertion, and industrial temperature rating - making it the only option qualified for legacy-system upgrades requiring zero-layout changes and guaranteed floating-pin stability.

FAQ
What voltage levels does the SN74LVTH16952DLR support on its I/O pins?
The SN74LVTH16952DLR accepts 0–5.5 V input voltages on all A and B port pins while operating from a 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply. Its outputs drive to 3.3-V logic levels but are 5-V tolerant in high-impedance and powered-off states, enabling direct connection to 5-V buses without external level-shifting components. This mixed-mode capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the SCBS697G datasheet.
Does the SN74LVTH16952DLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused data lines?
No, the SN74LVTH16952DLR does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused A or B data inputs because it integrates active bus-hold circuitry. Each data pin maintains its last-valid logic state with ±75 µA holding current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This feature eliminates board space, BOM cost, and layout complexity associated with discrete biasing networks.
How does the SN74LVTH16952DLR support hot insertion in live backplane systems?
The SN74LVTH16952DLR supports hot insertion through two complementary features: Ioff circuitry limits current to ±100 µA when VCC = 0, preventing backflow into powered-down modules; and power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during VCC ramp from 0 to 1.5 V. Both mechanisms are tested per MIL-PRF-38535 and documented in the Functional Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections of the datasheet.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVTH16952DLR at 3.3 V VCC?
The SN74LVTH16952DLR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, as verified in the Timing Requirements table (page 7 of SCBS697G). This applies to both CLKAB and CLKBA inputs under recommended operating conditions with CL = 50 pF load, and is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Which package type and pin count does the SN74LVTH16952DLR use?
The SN74LVTH16952DLR uses a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 0.5 mm pitch, 13.9 mm × 7.4 mm body dimensions, and 1.95 mm maximum height. This is explicitly stated in the Package Option Addendum and confirmed by the "DL" suffix in the part number and the top-view pin diagram labeled "SN74LVTH16952 . . . DGG OR DL PACKAGE".
