Product details
Overview
74ABT640N,602 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal inverting transceiver with direction control and 3-State outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interface between TTL/CMOS systems. It features ±64mA/–32mA output drive, 3.1ns typical propagation delay (An↔Bn), 4pF input capacitance, and operates across –40°C to +85°C at 4.5V–5.5V supply. It enables high-speed data routing in backplane and board-level interconnect applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT640N,602 datasheet, 74ABT640N,602 pinout, 74ABT640N,602 application, or 74ABT640N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting transceiver logic, DIR/OE dual-control architecture, 20-pin DIP package, high-current drive capability, and compatibility with 5V TTL bus environments.
Technical Context
The 74ABT640N,602 implements a true bidirectional octal transceiver with separate Direction (DIR) and Output Enable (OE) inputs, where DIR determines signal flow (A→B or B→A) and OE disables both sides into high-impedance. Its BiCMOS process delivers low static current (50µA in 3-State) while sustaining fast switching and robust latch-up immunity (>500mA).
All eight A-side and B-side I/Os are inverting and share common 3-State control. The device supports live insertion/extraction and power-up 3-State behavior, ensuring bus integrity during hot-swap events without external pull-ups or sequencing circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL logic rails and margin against supply droop. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.1ns typical (An↔Bn, CL=50pF) - Enables >200MHz bus operation in point-to-point or lightly loaded configurations. |
| Output Drive | +64mA sink / –32mA source - Supports driving multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines without buffering. |
| Input Capacitance | 4pF (DIR, OE) - Minimizes capacitive loading on control signals, preserving timing margins in dense layouts. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±100µA max (Tamb = –40°C to +85°C) - Guarantees reliable high-impedance isolation under worst-case thermal conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment deployment. |
| ESD Protection | 2000V HBM, 200V MM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling robustness in manufacturing and field service. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT640N,602 is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), 300 mil width, with through-hole mounting and industry-standard pin spacing (0.1" pitch). Pin 10 is GND, pin 20 is VCC; no thermal pad or exposed die attach.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow - defines real-time bus arbitration path. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Inverting bidirectional I/Os (A side) - connect to local subsystem bus; logic inverted on both transmit and receive. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Inverting bidirectional I/Os (B side) - interface to remote or peripheral bus; inversion matches A-side for net zero polarity shift. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low 3-State enable for B→A direction only - allows independent disabling of one data path while retaining A-side functionality. |
| 10 | GND | Signal and power reference ground - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during high-current switching. |
| 20 | VCC | +5V supply rail - requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency supply noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional bus interface | Enables full-duplex data exchange between two 8-bit buses using single device, reducing component count vs. discrete buffers. |
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above ~2.1V - prevents bus contention during power ramp-up. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed safe hot-plug operation without damaging connected logic or inducing glitches on shared bus lines. |
| Latch-up protection | Exceeds 500mA per JEDEC Std 17 - ensures survivability under transient overcurrent or ESD-induced substrate injection. |
| High-current drive asymmetry | +64mA sink / –32mA source optimized for driving TTL inputs and terminating stubs, balancing speed and fanout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT640N | Identical logic function, pinout, and AC/DC specs; manufactured by Texas Instruments with same ABT family process. | Same 5V industrial bus interface use cases; TI's version has identical thermal derating and qualification profile. | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or requiring TI-specific traceability documentation. |
| 74F640PC | Fast TTL variant: higher ICC (30mA active), slower tPLH (5.5ns typ), no power-up 3-State or live-insertion rating. | Suitable only for fixed-configuration, non-hot-swap systems with relaxed timing and lower reliability requirements. | Choose only if legacy F-series inventory exists and ABT-level performance/robustness is not required. |

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the 74ABT640N,602 data paths?
The 74ABT640N,602 implements inverting transceiver logic on both A and B sides: data presented at A0 appears inverted at B0 when DIR = H and OE = L, and vice versa. This inversion is inherent to the device architecture and applies identically in both directions - no external inversion is needed to achieve net non-inverting bus transfer.
Does the 74ABT640N,602 support hot-swap without external protection circuitry?
Yes, the 74ABT640N,602 is explicitly rated for live insertion/extraction per its datasheet. Its BiCMOS design, combined with built-in latch-up protection (>500mA) and ESD hardening (2000V HBM), allows safe connection/disconnection while powered - provided VCC and GND make contact before signal pins during mating.
How does the OE pin function relative to DIR in the 74ABT640N,602?
In the 74ABT640N,602, OE is active-low and controls only the B→A direction path. When OE = H, B-side outputs are forced high-impedance regardless of DIR state; when OE = L, DIR then determines whether data flows B→A (DIR = L) or A→B (DIR = H). This enables asymmetric bus control.
What is the maximum recommended load capacitance for maintaining 74ABT640N,602 timing specs?
The 74ABT640N,602 AC specifications - including 3.1ns typical propagation delay - are characterized at CL = 50pF. Exceeding this value increases tPLH/tPHL nonlinearly; for designs with >50pF net load (e.g., long traces or multiple TTL inputs), timing must be verified empirically or derated using the device's output impedance model.
Is the 74ABT640N,602 pin-compatible with other 74-series transceivers like the 74LS245?
No, the 74ABT640N,602 is not pin-compatible with 74LS245. While both are octal transceivers, the 74ABT640N,602 uses DIR/OE dual control with inverting I/Os and places DIR on pin 1 and OE on pin 19; 74LS245 uses single-direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) on pins 1 and 19 but with non-inverting logic and different pin assignments for data lines.
