Product details
Overview
74ABT640DB,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal inverting transceiver with direction control and 3-State outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing in 5V TTL-compatible systems. It features ±64mA/–32mA output drive, 3.1ns typical propagation delay (An↔Bn), power-up 3-State behavior, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in a 20-pin SSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT640DB,112 datasheet, 74ABT640DB,112 pinout, 74ABT640DB,112 application, or 74ABT640DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional data flow, high-current drive capability, low input capacitance (4pF), and compatibility with legacy ABT logic families in industrial backplane and memory interface designs.
Technical Context
The 74ABT640DB,112 implements dual-directional data transfer using a single DIR pin to select A→B (DIR = L) or B→A (DIR = H), with active-low OE enabling/disabling all outputs simultaneously. Its BiCMOS architecture delivers high-speed switching while maintaining TTL-level voltage thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V) and robust latch-up immunity (>500mA per JEDEC 17).
All eight A-side and B-side I/Os are inverting in both directions, and the device supports live insertion/extraction due to controlled power-up 3-State behavior and ESD protection exceeding 2000V (MIL-STD-883) and 200V (Machine Model). Output disable timing (tPHZ/tPLZ) is specified at ≤6.8ns/5.5ns over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5V supply tolerances in industrial systems. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 3.1ns typical (CL = 50pF) - Enables sub-4ns bidirectional propagation critical for high-speed bus arbitration. |
| IOL / IOH | 64mA sink / –32mA source - Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| CIN / CI/O | 4pF input / 7pF I/O disabled - Minimizes signal loading on address/data buses and reduces crosstalk. |
| ICCZ | 50µA max (VCC = 5.5V, outputs disabled) - Supports low-quiescent-power 3-State hold during system standby. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended-temperature industrial and telecom equipment deployment. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT640DB,112 is housed in a 20-pin plastic SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), Type II, body width 5.3 mm (SOT339-1), with gull-wing leads and 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | Low = A→B data flow; High = B→A; determines inversion path for all eight channels. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | A-side bidirectional I/O | Inverting data terminals; function as inputs when DIR/OE disable opposite side, outputs when enabled. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | B-side bidirectional I/O | Inverting data terminals; mirror A-side behavior with direction reversed per DIR state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0V return for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5V nominal power rail; decoupling required within 10mm of pin for AC performance stability. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active-low) | When high, forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance; enables cascading via shared bus lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional bus interface | Single-package replacement for two 74-series octal buffers; eliminates routing complexity in memory/data bus interconnects. |
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above ~2.1V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Validated ESD and latch-up specs allow hot-swap in modular backplanes without system reset or damage risk. |
| +64mA/–32mA output drive | Drives up to 16 standard TTL loads or long traces (>10 cm FR4) without signal degradation or timing skew. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Memory Bus Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245DBR | Non-inverting logic; identical 20-pin SSOP package; same VCC range and drive strength. | Requires inverted control logic or external inverters for DIR signal if system expects inverting behavior. | Select when non-inverting data path simplifies control firmware or matches existing buffer family. |
| 74LVTH16245MTD | 16-bit (dual-octal), 3.3V-only supply (2.7–3.6V); different pinout and voltage domain. | Not suitable for 5V legacy systems; requires level translation for mixed-voltage backplanes. | Select only in new 3.3V designs where higher density and lower power outweigh voltage incompatibility. |

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of data transfer in 74ABT640DB,112?
The 74ABT640DB,112 performs inverting data transfer in both directions: when DIR = L (A→B), A0–A7 inputs appear as inverted outputs on B0–B7; when DIR = H (B→A), B0–B7 inputs appear as inverted outputs on A0–A7. This behavior is intrinsic to the device's architecture and confirmed in the function table and logic symbol of the official Philips specification.
Does 74ABT640DB,112 support hot-plug operation?
Yes, the 74ABT640DB,112 supports live insertion/extraction as explicitly stated in its features list. This capability is enabled by its latch-up protection (>500mA per JEDEC Std 17), ESD robustness (>2000V HBM), and controlled power-up 3-State behavior - all validated in the original Philips product specification.
What is the maximum output current rating for 74ABT640DB,112?
The 74ABT640DB,112 is rated for 64mA sink current (IOL) and –32mA source current (IOH) per output, measured under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5V, VI = VIL/VIL). These values are specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and define the absolute steady-state drive capability before voltage compliance limits are violated.
Is 74ABT640DB,112 pin-compatible with other 74ABT640 variants?
Yes, the 74ABT640DB,112 shares identical pin configuration and function mapping with all 74ABT640 variants (e.g., 74ABT640N, 74ABT640D, 74ABT640PW), as confirmed by the unified PIN CONFIGURATION and PIN DESCRIPTION sections covering all packages in the Philips datasheet.
What package type is used for 74ABT640DB,112?
The 74ABT640DB,112 uses a 20-pin plastic SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), Type II, with 5.3 mm body width and 0.65 mm lead pitch (SOT339-1). This is explicitly assigned to part number suffix "DB" in the Ordering Information table of the Philips specification.
