Product details
Overview
74ABT16646CSSC 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 on all I/O pins for high-noise industrial backplane interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT16646CSSC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional register-controlled data flow, glitch-free hot-insertion capability, guaranteed latchup protection, and SSOP-56 package compatibility with JEDEC MO-118 footprint.
Technical Context
The 74ABT16646CSSC integrates two independent 16-bit D-type flip-flop registers (A and B), dual clock inputs (CPABn/CPBAn), dual select inputs (SABn/SBAn), and direction-controlled 3-STATE transceivers. Its logic enables concurrent storage and transparent transfer - e.g., clocking A-bus data into the A register while simultaneously routing B-bus data to A outputs in real time.
Control is managed via active-low OE, DIR, and select signals: OE disables all outputs to high-impedance; DIR determines data flow direction (A→B or B→A); SABn/SBAn select between stored register data and live bus data. All timing parameters are specified for CL = 50 pF and VCC = 4.5–5.5 V across −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 and mixed-voltage system rails |
| Max Clock Frequency | 200 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous bus arbitration in telecom and computing backplanes |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF traces) without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.9 ns (CL = 50 pF) - enables sub-5 ns timing margins for 200 MHz operation |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and base station equipment |
| I/O Capacitance | 11 pF - minimizes signal integrity degradation in high-density PCB layouts |
| Pin-to-Pin Skew | 2.0 ns (max, LH/HL transitions) - maintains deterministic timing alignment across all 32 I/Os |
Pinout & Package
74ABT16646CSSC uses a 56-lead Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP), JEDEC MO-118 compliant, 0.300″ wide, with 0.025″ pitch. Package number MS56A.
| 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, enabled by OE/DIR |
| B0–B15 | Data Register B Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port for B-side bus; latched on CPBAn rising edge, enabled by OE/DIR |
| CPABn, CPBAn | Asynchronous Clock Pulse Inputs | Edge-triggered clocks: CPABn captures A-bus data into A register; CPBAn captures B-bus data into B register |
| SABn, SBAn | Multiplexer Select Inputs | Select real-time (transparent) vs. registered data path for A→B or B→A transfers |
| OEn | Active-Low Output Enable | When HIGH, forces all A/B outputs to high-impedance - enables bus sharing without contention |
| DIR | Direction Control Input | LOW = B→A data flow; HIGH = A→B data flow - defines primary transceiver direction under OE LOW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent A/B Registers | Enables simultaneous capture of data from both buses - critical for handshake-free dual-port buffering |
| Multiplexed Real-Time & Stored Data | Allows mixing of live bus signals and previously latched values on same output - supports protocol-aware data stitching |
| Nondestructive Hot Insertion | Prevents bus glitches during live board insertion - eliminates need for power sequencing circuitry |
| Glitch-Free Power-Up/Down | Outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - avoids spurious bus contention at power transition |
| Latchup Protection | Guaranteed immunity to CMOS latchup per JEDEC JESD78 - ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments |

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 (MTD56), 6.1 mm width vs. 7.5 mm SSOP; identical AC/DC specs | Higher density layout; slightly lower thermal resistance but reduced mechanical robustness | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where JEDEC MO-153 footprint is acceptable |
| 74FCT16646CTPAG | FCT-family: 3.3 V tolerant inputs, 5 V supply; lower ICCZ (0.5 mA vs. 1.0 mA); 150 MHz max fMAX | Lower power, reduced EMI, but incompatible with strict 5 V TTL input thresholds | Choose when interfacing with mixed 3.3 V/5 V systems and 150 MHz suffices |
Compared with SN74ABT16646DGGR and 74FCT16646CTPAG, the 74ABT16646CSSC offers the widest SSOP body for manual assembly and thermal margin, full 5 V TTL compatibility, and highest clock rate - making it optimal for legacy 5 V backplane designs requiring mechanical durability and timing headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ABT16646CSSC?
The 74ABT16646CSSC supports a maximum clock frequency of 200 MHz under standard operating conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = +25°C). Across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply range (4.5–5.5 V), the guaranteed minimum fMAX remains 200 MHz per AC Electrical Characteristics table in the official Fairchild datasheet DS011644.
Does the 74ABT16646CSSC support hot insertion without damage?
Yes, the 74ABT16646CSSC features nondestructive hot insertion capability, verified per Fairchild's design and testing. This means the 74ABT16646CSSC can be safely inserted into a live 5 V bus without causing latchup, output contention, or permanent damage - a key requirement for modular telecom and industrial rack systems.
What is the output drive strength of the 74ABT16646CSSC on A0–A15 and B0–B15 pins?
The 74ABT16646CSSC provides 64 mA sink current and 32 mA source current on all A0–A15 and B0–B15 I/O pins. This drive strength is specified at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and ensures reliable signaling into heavy capacitive loads typical of backplane and long-trace industrial bus applications.
How does the direction control (DIR) pin affect data flow in the 74ABT16646CSSC?
In the 74ABT16646CSSC, the DIR pin sets the primary transceiver direction when OE is LOW: DIR = HIGH enables A→B real-time transfer or A-register-to-B transfer; DIR = LOW enables B→A real-time transfer or B-register-to-A transfer. DIR has no effect when OE is HIGH (all outputs high-Z).
Is the 74ABT16646CSSC pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
The 74ABT16646CSSC (SSOP-56, MS56A) shares identical pinout and logic function with the TSSOP-56 variant 74ABT16646CMTD (MTD56), but differs mechanically: MS56A is 0.300″ wide (7.62 mm), MTD56 is 6.1 mm wide. Both are electrically and functionally interchangeable when board layout accommodates the package width difference.
