Product details
Overview
74ABT620D,623 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal bidirectional transceiver with dual active-high/active-low enables and inverting 3-State outputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V, delivering ±64 mA output drive, 3.1 ns typical propagation delay (An↔Bn), and designed for asynchronous bus isolation in industrial control backplanes and memory-mapped I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT620D,623 datasheet, 74ABT620D,623 pinout, 74ABT620D,623 application, or 74ABT620D,623 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-directional enable logic (OEAB high-active, OEBA low-active), inverting data path behavior, 20-pin SO package compatibility, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The 74ABT620D,623 implements a BiCMOS-based octal transceiver architecture with independent A→B and B→A data paths controlled by separate enable inputs. Its inverting logic applies identically in both directions: when enabled, An drives inverted signal to Bn, and Bn drives inverted signal to An.
It supports live insertion/extraction via power-up 3-State and latch-up protection exceeding 500 mA per JEDEC Std 17. Output drive capability of +64 mA (sink) / –32 mA (source) enables direct interface with TTL and CMOS loads without external buffering.
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 margin against rail droop. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.1 ns typical (An↔Bn, CL = 50 pF) - enables high-speed bus handshaking up to ~200 MHz effective toggle rate. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without fanout limitation. |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF (OEAB/OEBA) - minimizes switching noise and timing skew on enable control lines. |
| I/O Capacitance | 7 pF (outputs disabled) - reduces crosstalk and dynamic power during 3-State isolation. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 50 µA (outputs disabled, VCC = 5.5 V) - enables low-power standby in always-on industrial modules. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT620D,623 is supplied in a 20-pin plastic small outline package (SO20, SOT163-1), 7.5 mm body width, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with IPC-7351B footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OEAB | Active-high output enable for A→B direction; asserts inversion and drives Bn when high. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Bidirectional I/O pins on A bus; input when OEAB low & OEBA high, output (inverted) when enabled. |
| 10 | GND | Reference ground for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Bidirectional I/O pins on B bus; input when OEBA low & OEAB high, output (inverted) when enabled. |
| 19 | OEBA | Active-low output enable for B→A direction; asserts inversion and drives An when low. |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional data path with independent enables | Enables full-duplex bus arbitration without external logic; OEAB and OEBA allow simultaneous A→B and B→A isolation. |
| Inverting transceiver logic | Guarantees signal polarity inversion on both transmit paths-critical for differential-complement bus architectures and legacy system compatibility. |
| Power-up 3-State | Prevents bus contention during power ramp; outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above 2.1 V. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Allows hot-swap module replacement in backplane systems without system reset or bus lockup. |
| Latch-up immunity >500 mA | Meets JEDEC Std 17 for robustness in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling or ESD events. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Memory-Mapped I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT620DBR | Same ABT family, identical logic, 20-pin SSOP (SOT339-1); slightly higher tPLH max (4.3 ns vs 4.1 ns). | SSOP footprint requires PCB redesign; better thermal resistance but lower moisture sensitivity than SO. | Select for space-constrained layouts where 5.3 mm body width is critical and reflow profile accommodates SSOP. |
| 74LVT620PW,118 | Lower voltage (3.3 V only), non-inverting logic, 20-pin TSSOP; 3.3 ns tPLH, 24 mA output drive. | Not functionally interchangeable due to non-inverting behavior and incompatible supply; requires logic inversion elsewhere. | Choose only if migrating entire system to 3.3 V LVT logic and redesigning enable/control logic to accommodate non-inverting path. |
Compared with SN74ABT620DBR and 74LVT620PW,118, the 74ABT620D,623 uniquely delivers 5 V operation, inverting bidirectional logic, and SO20 packaging in a single device-enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 5 V industrial designs without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the 74ABT620D,623 data path?
The 74ABT620D,623 implements an inverting transceiver: when OEAB is high, An drives the complement of its value onto Bn; when OEBA is low, Bn drives the complement onto An. This is confirmed in the Function Table and Logic Symbol sections of the Philips 1993 datasheet. The 74ABT620D,623 does not support non-inverting operation - polarity inversion is inherent to the device architecture.
Can the 74ABT620D,623 operate at 3.3 V?
No, the 74ABT620D,623 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 3.3 V, VIH/VIL thresholds are unmet, propagation delays increase unpredictably, and output drive falls outside specification. For 3.3 V systems, consider the 74LVT620 or 74ALVCH16620, not the 74ABT620D,623.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74ABT620D,623 can drive reliably?
The 74ABT620D,623 AC characteristics are characterized at CL = 50 pF, and its output drive (+64 mA sink / –32 mA source) supports heavier loads than standard TTL. However, propagation delay increases linearly with load capacitance; for reliable timing at ≤4.8 ns max tPLH, total node capacitance (including trace, stub, and input pins) should remain ≤75 pF. The 74ABT620D,623 is not rated for transmission-line driving beyond this limit.
Does the 74ABT620D,623 support hot-swap operation?
Yes - the 74ABT620D,623 explicitly supports live insertion/extraction per its Features list and is qualified to JEDEC Std 17 for latch-up immunity (>500 mA). Its power-up 3-State behavior ensures outputs remain high-impedance until VCC exceeds 2.1 V, preventing bus contention during hot-plug events. This makes the 74ABT620D,623 suitable for modular backplane systems requiring field-replaceable cards.
Is the 74ABT620D,623 pin-compatible with the 74LS620?
Yes - the 74ABT620D,623 shares identical pinout, function table, and enable polarity with the 74LS620, as verified in Philips' ABT family migration documentation. It replaces the LS version with higher speed (3.1 ns vs ~15 ns), greater drive (±64 mA vs ±8 mA), and improved noise immunity - all while retaining the same 20-pin SO package and logic behavior. The 74ABT620D,623 is a direct functional and physical upgrade.
