Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH2952NSR 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 and embedded computing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH2952NSR datasheet, SN74LVTH2952NSR pinout, SN74LVTH2952NSR application, or SN74LVTH2952NSR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin SOP (NS) package, 150-MHz maximum clock frequency, ±100 µA Ioff at VCC = 0 V, 2.7–3.6 V supply range, and support for TTL-level interface across voltage domains.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH2952NSR implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional data paths with separate clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) controls. Each direction operates on the low-to-high clock transition when its corresponding clock-enable is low, enabling synchronous latching of A-to-B or B-to-A data flow.
It integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs to maintain valid logic states without external pullup/pulldown resistors, and uses Ioff and power-up 3-state logic to ensure high-impedance outputs during power sequencing-critical for live insertion into powered backplanes or hot-swap modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation across wide industrial supply tolerances and battery-backed systems down to 2.7 V. |
| 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 synchronous data transfer between buses in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging backflow current during hot insertion or partial power-down scenarios. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±500 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - Actively maintains input logic state without external biasing, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source at VCC = 3 V - Drives standard TTL loads directly, eliminating need for buffer stages in mixed-voltage interconnects. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Ensures timing margin for sub-10 ns clock domains in FPGA-to-ASIC or processor-to-peripheral interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH2952NSR is housed in a 24-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body dimensions per TI package drawing NS0024A. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals for first 8-bit bus; internally registered on CLKAB edge when enabled. |
| B1–B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional data terminals for second 8-bit bus; registered on CLKBA edge when enabled. |
| CLKAB | A-to-B clock input | Triggers latching of A-port data into B-port register on rising edge when CLKENAB = L. |
| CLKBA | B-to-A clock input | Triggers latching of B-port data into A-port register on rising edge when CLKENBA = L. |
| CLKENAB | A-to-B clock enable | Active-low control: disables CLKAB sampling when high, preventing unintended register updates. |
| CLKENBA | B-to-A clock enable | Active-low control: disables CLKBA sampling when high, isolating B-to-A data flow. |
| OEAB | A-to-B output enable | Active-low: places A-port drivers in high-Z when high; enables A→B data transmission when low. |
| OEBA | B-to-A output enable | Active-low: places B-port drivers in high-Z when high; enables B→A data transmission when low. |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3-V nominal supply; supports operation down to 2.7 V with full specification compliance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage interface | 5-V-tolerant inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC enable seamless integration between legacy 5-V logic and modern low-voltage systems without external translators. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data lines, reducing PCB area and assembly cost while improving signal integrity on unterminated stubs. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state ensure outputs remain high-impedance during power ramp-up/down, preventing bus contention and backdrive damage in modular backplane architectures. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures minimal switching noise on shared ground planes, critical for mixed-signal systems with ADCs or precision analog circuits. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD17 - guarantees robustness against transient overvoltage events and ESD-induced latch-up in harsh industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APW | No internal registers; asynchronous direction control only; no clock-enable or bus-hold; 3.3-V only I/O (no 5-V tolerance) | Suitable for simple unidirectional/bidirectional level shifting where timing synchronization is not required | Select when clocked register functionality and 5-V interface are unnecessary and lower static power is prioritized. |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Higher speed (380-MHz max), smaller 24-pin VQFN package, no bus-hold, supports 1.2–3.6 V VCC but only 3.6-V max I/O tolerance | Better for space-constrained, high-frequency applications like PCIe sideband or MIPI bridge where 5-V compatibility is absent | Choose for compact layouts and faster clocks, but verify 5-V system compatibility is not needed. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APW and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, the SN74LVTH2952NSR uniquely combines 5-V-tolerant I/O, integrated bus-hold, synchronous dual-register architecture, and hot-insertion support-making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage, hot-swap, and register-synchronized bus bridging.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74LVTH2952NSR?
The SN74LVTH2952NSR is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, outdoor telecom equipment, and automotive under-hood modules where thermal cycling and extended temperature exposure occur. All electrical characteristics-including propagation delay, drive strength, and bus-hold current-are guaranteed across this full range per the SCBS710F datasheet.
Does SN74LVTH2952NSR require external pullup resistors on its data lines?
No, SN74LVTH2952NSR does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors on A1–A8 or B1–B8 data lines due to its integrated bus-hold circuitry. This feature actively maintains valid logic states on unused or floating inputs, eliminating BOM cost and PCB routing overhead. Using external resistors with SN74LVTH2952NSR is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet as it may interfere with bus-hold operation and increase power consumption.
Can SN74LVTH2952NSR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, SN74LVTH2952NSR is explicitly designed for hot-insertion applications. Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs and limits current to ±100 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging backflow. Power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These features are validated per JEDEC standards and documented in the SCBS710F datasheet, making SN74LVTH2952NSR suitable for modular backplanes and field-replaceable units.
What package type is SN74LVTH2952NSR supplied in?
SN74LVTH2952NSR is supplied in a 24-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, designated as NS package by Texas Instruments. Its dimensions are 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm with 1.75 mm height, RoHS-compliant, and rated MSL-1 for unlimited floor life. This package is optimized for automated surface-mount assembly and offers better thermal performance than TSSOP variants like PW.
How does SN74LVTH2952NSR handle 5-V signals while operating at 3.3-V VCC?
SN74LVTH2952NSR supports 5-V-tolerant inputs and outputs while powered from a 3.3-V supply (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V). Its input structure accepts up to 5.5 V, and output drivers swing rail-to-rail within the 3.3-V domain while sourcing/sinking TTL-compatible currents (64 mA sink, 32 mA source). This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems-confirmed by absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions in the SCBS710F datasheet.
