Product details
Overview
74ABT16646CMTD from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 16-bit bus transceiver and dual-register IC with independent A/B data paths, 3-STATE outputs, and multiplexed real-time/stored data routing. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports up to 200 MHz clock frequency, and delivers 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive per I/O for high-noise industrial backplane interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT16646CMTD datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional register-controlled data flow, nondestructive hot insertion capability, guaranteed latchup protection, and TSSOP-56 packaging compatible with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ABT16646CMTD integrates two independent 16-bit D-type flip-flop registers (A and B), dual clock inputs (CPABn/CPBAn), dual select controls (SABn/SBAn), and direction-enabled transceiver logic. Its operation supports four distinct modes: real-time A→B or B→A transfer, register storage from either bus, and register-to-bus output - all under active-low OE control.
It implements glitch-free 3-STATE bus loading across full power-up/down cycles and meets JEDEC MO-153 mechanical standards for the 56-lead TSSOP package. AC timing is specified at CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω, with propagation delays as low as 1.5 ns (min) and max disable time of 6.5 ns over −40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL/CMOS systems and robust noise margin |
| Max Clock Frequency | 200 MHz - enables high-speed synchronous data transfer in backplane and memory interface applications |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - supports driving heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–6.5 ns - guarantees sub-7 ns timing closure for critical control-path signals in real-time systems |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom infrastructure use |
| I/O Capacitance | 11 pF (CI/O) - minimizes signal distortion and crosstalk in high-speed parallel bus designs |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - provides clear TTL-compatible logic level recognition under varying VCC |
Pinout & Package
74ABT16646CMTD is housed in a 56-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 6.1 mm wide, with 0.5 mm lead pitch. The package supports fine-pitch surface-mount assembly and thermal performance suitable for industrial ambient conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Data Register A Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port for A-side bus; latched on CPABn rising edge or routed transparently when enabled |
| B0–B15 | Data Register B Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port for B-side bus; latched on CPBAn rising edge or routed transparently when enabled |
| CPABn, CPBAn | Asynchronous Clock Pulse Inputs | Active-HIGH edge-triggered clocks controlling A→Register and B→Register capture respectively |
| SABn, SBAn | Select Inputs | Control multiplexing between real-time (transparent) and stored (registered) data paths |
| OEn | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW global enable for all 3-STATE outputs; HIGH places A/B ports in high-impedance isolation mode |
| DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines bus direction during transceiver mode: DIR = HIGH → A→B; DIR = LOW → B→A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent A/B Registers | Enables simultaneous storage and routing of two separate 16-bit data streams without cross-contamination |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16646DGGR | TSSOP-56 package, identical pinout and AC/DC specs; TI version with same 200 MHz fMAX and 64 mA drive | Same functional behavior and timing; validated for TI-based reference designs and automotive-qualified supply chains | Drop-in replacement if sourcing from TI-authorized distributors; verify qualification status for extended temperature use |
| 74FCT16646ATPAG | Lower drive (24 mA sink), higher speed (250 MHz), different input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V same), same TSSOP-56 | Better suited for ultra-high-speed interconnects where lower power and faster edges are prioritized over drive strength | Prefer when system load capacitance ≤ 30 pF and VCC = 5.0 V ±5%; not recommended for heavy stubbed backplanes |
Compared with SN74ABT16646DGGR and 74FCT16646ATPAG, the 74ABT16646CMTD offers optimal balance of drive strength, industrial temperature range, and proven latchup immunity - making it preferred for ruggedized backplane and PLC applications where reliability outweighs marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ABT16646CMTD?
The 74ABT16646CMTD supports a maximum clock frequency of 200 MHz under standard operating conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = +25°C, CL = 50 pF). This rating is maintained across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, enabling reliable high-speed data capture in real-time control systems.
Does the 74ABT16646CMTD support hot insertion without damaging the device or system bus?
Yes, the 74ABT16646CMTD features nondestructive hot insertion capability, verified per Fairchild's design and test methodology. Its 3-STATE outputs remain high-impedance during power transitions, and internal latchup protection withstands ±500 mA reverse current - ensuring safe insertion into live backplanes or modular chassis.
How does the 74ABT16646CMTD handle bus isolation when outputs are disabled?
When OEn is HIGH, the 74ABT16646CMTD enters isolation mode: all A0–A15 and B0–B15 outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR or clock activity. Critically, this state is guaranteed glitch-free across full power-up/down cycles, preventing unintended bus contention or signal corruption during system initialization or reset sequences.
What are the voltage thresholds for logic HIGH and LOW inputs on the 74ABT16646CMTD?
The 74ABT16646CMTD specifies VIH = 2.0 V (minimum recognized HIGH) and VIL = 0.8 V (maximum recognized LOW) across its operating temperature and voltage range. These thresholds ensure robust TTL-level compatibility and noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial environments where signal integrity is critical.
Can the 74ABT16646CMTD operate with both real-time and registered data paths simultaneously?
Yes - the 74ABT16646CMTD supports concurrent real-time (transparent) and registered data routing via dedicated select inputs SABn and SBAn. For example, A→B real-time transfer can occur while B→A registered data is held and prepared for output, enabling protocol arbitration and pipelined bus operations without external logic.
