Dual 8-bit bus transceiver for 3.3 V backplanes
The Texas Instruments SN74LVCR162245DGGR is a dual 8-bit non-inverting transceiver from the 74LVCR series. Each of the two elements handles 8 bits with independent direction and output-enable controls. Supply range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V covers nominal rails with margin for regulation tolerance. The –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature grade suits equipment bay, outdoor telecom cabinet, and factory-floor environments without derating. Output drive is rated at 12 mA source and 12 mA sink per channel, enough for standard CMOS inputs and short PCB traces; for longer backplane runs or higher fan-out, plan on buffering or using a higher-drive variant.
Package and footprint
The supplier device package is listed as 48-TSSOP, confirming the footprint matches industry-standard 48-TSSOP land patterns. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape options are available for both production reels and prototype quantities.
Lifecycle and regulatory status
TI lists the SN74LVCR162245DGGR as Active with no NRND or EOL flags. No last-time-buy window is open, and no successor has been announced. The part is fully qualified for ongoing production and new designs. ROHS3 compliant per current TI declarations, with no exemption conflicts for EU, UK, or other ROHS-regulated markets. No additional substance restrictions beyond ROHS3 are stated.
