Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH2952DGVR 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 and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH2952DGVR datasheet, SN74LVTH2952DGVR pinout, SN74LVTH2952DGVR application, or SN74LVTH2952DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin TVSOP package, 150-MHz clock frequency support, ±500-µA bus-hold current capability, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7 V - critical for battery-powered or voltage-margin-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH2952DGVR 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 CLK transition when its corresponding CLKEN is low.
Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on floating A/B inputs without external resistors, while Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current. The device enters high-impedance state when VCC is below 1.5 V and supports hot insertion via power-up 3-state behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables stable operation across unregulated battery rails and low-noise 3.3-V supplies. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to legacy 5-V TTL buses without level-shifting components. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - supports high-speed data transfer in memory-mapped peripheral interfaces and FPGA interconnects. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±500 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused data lines. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly, reducing buffer count in dense board layouts. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures timing margin compliance in sub-5-ns critical paths. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 86°C/W (DGV package) - informs thermal design for continuous operation in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH2952DGVR is housed in a 24-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), measuring 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.65-mm lead pitch and exposed metal pad for thermal enhancement per JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional A-side bus interface; driven or read depending on OEAB/CLKAB state. |
| 9 | OEAB | Active-low output enable for A→B direction; controls tristate of A1–A8 outputs. |
| 10 | CLKAB | Low-to-high edge-triggered clock for latching data from A to B registers. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage tolerance | 5-V input/output compatibility with 3.3-V VCC enables seamless integration into hybrid-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on A/B data lines, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint. |
| Ioff and power-up 3-state | Prevents damaging current backflow during hot insertion and ensures outputs remain high-Z during power sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVT245DBR | Non-latched, non-registering transceiver; no clock or clock-enable inputs; simpler control interface. | Suitable for asynchronous bus bridging but lacks register staging for synchronous timing-critical transfers. | Select when deterministic latency and clock-domain isolation are not required; lower gate count and cost. |
| SN74AVC8T245RGYR | Lower VCC range (1.2 V to 3.6 V); higher speed (380-MHz max); no bus-hold; requires external biasing. | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage mobile SoC interconnects; incompatible with 5-V input tolerance requirement. | Choose only if system operates below 2.7 V or demands >150-MHz throughput; verify 5-V input compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVT245DBR and SN74AVC8T245RGYR, the SN74LVTH2952DGVR uniquely combines clocked register functionality, 5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and hot-insertion support - making it the only option among the three for synchronous, mixed-voltage, plug-in-capable industrial backplane designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74LVTH2952DGVR?
The SN74LVTH2952DGVR is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, matching the commercial/industrial temperature grade specified in its ordering information. This range is validated under recommended operating conditions including VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V and load capacitance ≤50 pF, and applies specifically to the DGV (TVSOP) package variant.
Does SN74LVTH2952DGVR support true bidirectional data flow without external direction control?
Yes - the SN74LVTH2952DGVR supports independent bidirectional data flow via two dedicated control sets: CLKAB/CLKENAB/OEAB govern A→B transfer, while CLKBA/CLKENBA/OEBA govern B→A transfer. No external direction line is needed; each path operates autonomously based on its own clock and enable signals.
Can SN74LVTH2952DGVR be used with a 2.5-V supply?
No - the SN74LVTH2952DGVR has a minimum recommended VCC of 2.7 V per its datasheet. Operation below 2.7 V is outside the specified operating conditions and may result in undefined logic behavior, reduced noise margin, or failure to meet timing parameters such as tPLH or setup/hold times.
Is bus-hold functionality enabled by default on SN74LVTH2952DGVR?
Yes - bus-hold circuitry is permanently active on all A1–A8 and B1–B8 inputs of the SN74LVTH2952DGVR and requires no configuration. It holds floating inputs at their last-valid logic state using ±500 µA dynamic current (at VCC = 3.6 V), eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors.
What is the meaning of "Ioff" in the context of SN74LVTH2952DGVR?
Ioff refers to the off-state output leakage current of the SN74LVTH2952DGVR, specified as ±100 µA when VCC = 0 V and any input or output is biased between 0 V and 4.5 V. This feature prevents damaging current backflow from live buses into a powered-down device - a critical requirement for hot-insertion applications.
