Product details

Overview

74ABT620N,602 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 74ABT620N,602 datasheet, 74ABT620N,602 pinout, 74ABT620N,602 application, or 74ABT620N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-directional enable logic (OEAB high-active, OEBA low-active), inverting data path behavior, 20-pin DIP package compatibility, and BiCMOS-level drive strength with live-insertion support.

Technical Context

The 74ABT620N,602 implements a fully inverting bidirectional data path: A0–A7 and B0–B7 each serve as inputs or outputs depending on OEAB and OEBA states, with signal inversion occurring in both directions. Its dual-enable architecture permits independent control of A→B (OEAB) and B→A (OEBA) data flow without bus contention.

It features BiCMOS process technology enabling simultaneous high-speed operation (sub-5 ns propagation), high-current sourcing (+64 mA) and sinking (–32 mA), and robust latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JEDEC 17). Power-up 3-State and live insertion capability are enabled by internal biasing that holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes.

Key Specifications

FAQ

What is the logic polarity of the 74ABT620N,602 data path?

The 74ABT620N,602 implements an inverting bidirectional data path: signals passed from A0–A7 to B0–B7, or vice versa, are inverted. This matches legacy system requirements where complementary logic levels are needed between bus segments. The inversion occurs regardless of direction or enable state, and is intrinsic to the device's internal gate structure as confirmed in the function table and logic symbol.

Does the 74ABT620N,602 support live insertion into a powered backplane?

Yes, the 74ABT620N,602 supports live insertion and extraction, as explicitly stated in its features list and verified by its latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JEDEC Std 17) and ESD protection (>2000 V per MIL-STD-883). Its power-up 3-State behavior ensures outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes, preventing bus contention or damage during hot-swap events in modular industrial systems.

What are the voltage thresholds for OEAB and OEBA on the 74ABT620N,602?

For the 74ABT620N,602, VIH is 2.0 V minimum and VIL is 0.8 V maximum across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. OEAB is active-High (asserted ≥2.0 V), while OEBA is active-Low (asserted ≤0.8 V). These thresholds ensure reliable interfacing with standard 5 V TTL and CMOS control signals without level translation.

Can the 74ABT620N,602 be used in 3.3 V systems?

No, the 74ABT620N,602 is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply range is strictly 4.5–5.5 V, and absolute maximum VCC is +7.0 V. Operating below 4.5 V risks undefined logic states, increased propagation delay, and failure to meet output drive specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider the 74LVT620 or 74ALVCH16620 instead.

What is the thermal limit for continuous operation of the 74ABT620N,602?

The 74ABT620N,602 has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, with recommended operating free-air temperature ranging from –40°C to +85°C. Its BiCMOS construction minimizes self-heating, but sustained 64 mA output current into low-impedance loads requires adequate PCB copper area and airflow. Thermal derating is required above +85°C ambient, and operation beyond 150°C junction temperature risks permanent parametric shift or failure.
