Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH2952DBR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver and register IC designed for bidirectional 3.3-V VCC operation with 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs. It features dual 8-bit back-to-back registers, bus-hold on all data inputs, Ioff and power-up 3-state for hot insertion, and supports mixed-mode signal interfacing between 3.3-V and 5-V systems in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH2952DBR datasheet, SN74LVTH2952DBR pinout, SN74LVTH2952DBR application, or SN74LVTH2952DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin TSSOP package, 150-MHz clock frequency capability, ±100 µA Ioff specification, bus-hold current of ±500 µA at 3.6 V, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7 V supply voltage.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH2952DBR implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths (A↔B) controlled by separate clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Each direction uses edge-triggered latching on the low-to-high clock transition when its corresponding clock-enable is low.
Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused A/B inputs without external resistors, while Ioff and power-up 3-state ensure safe hot-insertion by disabling outputs during power transitions and preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVT245DBR | No internal registers; purely combinatorial transceiver with direction control instead of clocked registers | Suitable for asynchronous bus bridging but lacks synchronous data capture capability | Select when deterministic clocked registration is not required and lower propagation delay (2.5 ns) is prioritized |
| SN74LVCH16245ADGGR | 16-bit, non-latched, with configurable 3.3-V-only I/O and no 5-V tolerance | Designed for high-density 3.3-V-only systems; requires external level shifters for 5-V interfaces | Select for wider bus width and lower static current (10 µA), but only in fully 3.3-V environments |
Compared with SN74LVT245DBR and SN74LVCH16245ADGGR, the SN74LVTH2952DBR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, clocked dual-register architecture, and bus-hold functionality-making it the only option among the three that supports mixed-voltage synchronous data capture without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVTH2952DBR?
The SN74LVTH2952DBR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its recommended operating range (VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). This value is specified in the timing requirements table of the official datasheet (SCBS710F) and verified under CL = 50 pF load conditions. The SN74LVTH2952DBR achieves this performance while maintaining setup/hold margins and low propagation delay, making it suitable for high-speed synchronous bus applications.
Does the SN74LVTH2952DBR support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVTH2952DBR supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry and power-up 3-state. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current flow to ±100 µA, preventing backflow damage. During power-up/down transitions (VCC between 0 V and 1.5 V), outputs are forced into high-impedance regardless of OE state. These mechanisms are explicitly documented in the datasheet's "description/ordering information" and "absolute maximum ratings" sections, confirming robust hot-swap capability for the SN74LVTH2952DBR.
What is the purpose of bus-hold circuitry in the SN74LVTH2952DBR, and how does it affect design?
The bus-hold circuitry in the SN74LVTH2952DBR actively maintains valid logic levels (VIH/VIL) on unused A/B data inputs without external resistors. It provides ±500 µA dynamic hold current at VCC = 3.6 V, eliminating the need for pullup/pulldown networks. As stated in the datasheet, using external resistors with enabled bus-hold is not recommended. This feature reduces BOM cost, saves PCB space, and improves reliability in the SN74LVTH2952DBR by preventing floating-input-induced glitches in partially populated bus systems.
Can the SN74LVTH2952DBR interface directly with 5-V TTL logic, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the SN74LVTH2952DBR supports direct 5-V TTL interfacing: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and outputs drive to VOH ≥ 2.4 V (at IOL = 24 mA, VCC = 3 V) and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (at IOL = 64 mA, VCC = 3 V). Absolute maximum input voltage is 7 V, and output voltage in high state is limited to VCC + 0.5 V. These specifications are confirmed in the "absolute maximum ratings" and "electrical characteristics" tables of the SN74LVTH2952DBR datasheet, enabling interoperability with legacy 5-V systems without level shifters.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVTH2952DBR use, and are thermal considerations documented?
The SN74LVTH2952DBR uses a 24-pin TSSOP package (TI drawing PW0024A), measuring 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 1.2 mm max height. Its thermal impedance θJA is 88°C/W, documented in the "absolute maximum ratings" table. TI provides full package drawings, PCB layout guidelines, and stencil design recommendations on ti.com/sc/package. This standardized TSSOP footprint ensures compatibility with automated assembly and allows effective heat dissipation in the SN74LVTH2952DBR's typical industrial operating range.
