Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH2952PWR 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 SN74LVTH2952PWR datasheet, SN74LVTH2952PWR pinout, SN74LVTH2952PWR application, or SN74LVTH2952PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin TSSOP package, 150-MHz maximum clock frequency, ±64-mA output drive, 2.7–3.6-V supply range, and bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull resistors.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH2952PWR implements two independent 8-bit register paths (A↔B) controlled by separate clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Each direction operates synchronously on the low-to-high clock edge when its corresponding clock-enable is low.
It integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-port data lines, providing ±75-µA hold current at 3 V to maintain valid logic states without external biasing. Ioff protection disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation across unregulated battery supplies 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 circuitry. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - Supports high-speed synchronous data transfer between isolated bus domains. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - Maintains defined logic state on floating data lines, eliminating need for external pullup/pulldown resistors. |
| Output Ground Bounce | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - Reduces switching noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts. |
| Power-Up 3-State | Active below 1.5 V VCC - Ensures outputs remain high-impedance during power ramp-up/down, preventing bus contention. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65-mm lead pitch, 1.2-mm max height, exposed metal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Port A data input/output | Bidirectional data path toward A bus; latched on CLKAB↑ when CLKENAB = L. |
| B1–B8 | Port B data input/output | Bidirectional data path toward B bus; latched on CLKBA↑ when CLKENBA = L. |
| OEAB | Output enable (A→B) | Low enables A-to-B data flow; high places B-port outputs in high-impedance state. |
| OEBA | Output enable (B→A) | Low enables B-to-A data flow; high places A-port outputs in high-impedance state. |
| CLKAB | Clock (A→B) | Low-to-high transition latches A-port data into B-register when CLKENAB = L. |
| CLKBA | Clock (B→A) | Low-to-high transition latches B-port data into A-register when CLKENBA = L. |
| CLKENAB | Clock enable (A→B) | Low enables CLKAB; high disables A→B register action regardless of CLKAB transitions. |
| CLKENBA | Clock enable (B→A) | Low enables CLKBA; high disables B→A register action regardless of CLKBA transitions. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 3.3-V core supply; supports operation down to 2.7 V with full specification compliance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits; decoupling required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 3.3-V/5-V interface | Accepts 5-V TTL inputs while operating from 3.3-V VCC - eliminates level translators in mixed-voltage backplane designs. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Active on all 16 data lines - removes requirement for 16 external pull resistors, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent current backflow and bus conflicts during live card replacement in modular systems. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V - minimizes simultaneous switching noise that could corrupt adjacent signal integrity. |
| Latch-up immunity | >500 mA per JESD 17 - ensures robustness against transient overcurrent events in industrial environments. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy System Bus Bridge |

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 | Non-latching, no clock inputs; only OE-controlled direction; 3.3-V only I/O (no 5-V tolerance) | Suitable for simple level-shifted data pipes without timing control or bus-hold | Select when clocked register behavior and 5-V input tolerance are not required. |
| SN74ALVCH162952GR | 16-bit (dual-octal), same register architecture but 48-pin SSOP; higher drive (±24 mA), no bus-hold | Used in wider data paths where space allows larger package and additional pins | Choose for 16-bit parallel interfaces needing identical timing control but without bus-hold dependency. |
Compared with SN74LVTH2952PWR, SN74LVC245APW lacks clocked register functionality and 5-V input tolerance, limiting use to pure level translation; SN74ALVCH162952GR scales width but sacrifices bus-hold and increases footprint-making SN74LVTH2952PWR optimal for space-constrained, mixed-voltage, register-synchronized 8-bit interconnects.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVTH2952PWR?
The SN74LVTH2952PWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V). This value is specified across the full commercial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) and applies to both A→B and B→A data paths when their respective clock-enable inputs are asserted low. Timing parameters such as tsu and th are guaranteed to meet this rate with CL = 50 pF loads.
Does the SN74LVTH2952PWR require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its data lines?
No, the SN74LVTH2952PWR does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors on A1–A8 or B1–B8 data lines. Its integrated bus-hold circuitry provides ±75 µA of holding current at 3 V to maintain valid logic levels on unused or floating inputs. Using external resistors with the bus-hold feature is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet, as it may interfere with proper operation and increase power consumption.
Can the SN74LVTH2952PWR operate with a supply voltage lower than 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74LVTH2952PWR is fully specified to operate from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Its recommended operating conditions include VCC = 2.7 V minimum, supporting unregulated battery-powered applications. At 2.7 V, parameters such as VOL (0.5 V max at IOL = 24 mA), VOH (2.4 V min at IOH = −8 mA), and tPLH/tPHL (≤5.5 ns) remain guaranteed. Operation below 2.7 V places the device in high-impedance state but is outside specification.
How does the SN74LVTH2952PWR support hot insertion in modular systems?
The SN74LVTH2952PWR supports hot insertion through two complementary features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow from live backplanes into the unpowered device; and power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during power ramp-up (VCC < 1.5 V), avoiding bus contention. Both mechanisms are tested per JEDEC standards and are integral to the SN74LVTH2952PWR's design for live-card replacement in industrial chassis.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVTH2952PWR use?
The SN74LVTH2952PWR uses a TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, 1.2-mm maximum height, and 24 leads arranged in two gull-wing rows. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation. The package drawing is TI's PW0024A, compliant with JEDEC MO-153, and features a non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) land pattern with exposed metal not electrically connected.
