Product details
Overview
74ABT640PW,118 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. It is used in backplane data routing and memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT640PW,118 datasheet, 74ABT640PW,118 pinout, 74ABT640PW,118 application, or 74ABT640PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-pin-controlled bidirectional flow, inverting logic on both A and B ports, high-current 3-State drive capability, and TSSOP-20 packaging for space-constrained board layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ABT640PW,118 implements a dual-rail bidirectional bus interface using a single DIR input to select data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low OE input to enable/disable all B-side outputs. Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low static current (50µA in 3-State) while sustaining high-speed switching (≤4.9ns max tPLH/tPHL over temperature).
All eight A-side and eight B-side I/Os are inverting: an asserted logic level at A0 produces its complement at B0 when DIR = L and OE = L, and vice versa. The device supports live insertion/extraction and includes latch-up protection (>500mA) and ESD robustness (>2kV HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL and CMOS logic rails without level-shifting. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 3.1ns typical (CL = 50pF) - Enables reliable operation in high-speed bus cycles up to ~200MHz system timing margin. |
| 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 capacitance - Minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on densely routed PCB traces. |
| ICCZ | 50µA max (VCC = 5.5V, outputs disabled) - Reduces standby power in battery-backed or low-power hold modes. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT640PW,118 is housed in a 20-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch and 4.4mm body width (SOT360-1), optimized for automated SMT assembly and thermal dissipation in compact designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | Low = A→B data flow; High = B→A; determines inversion path for all 8 channels. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Inverting data terminals; function as inputs when DIR selects B→A and OE disables B outputs. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Inverting data terminals; driven only when OE = L; high-impedance when OE = H. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5V power rail; requires local 100nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin 20. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active-Low) | When High, places all B-side outputs in 3-State; enables cascading via daisy-chained OE lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional bus interface | Single-package solution for 8-bit parallel data exchange between two independent bus domains with shared direction control. |
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain in high-impedance state during VCC ramp-up, preventing bus contention at power-on reset. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Robust ESD (2kV HBM) and latch-up immunity (>500mA) allow hot-swap in modular backplane systems. |
| +64mA/–32mA output drive | Directly interfaces with legacy TTL loads or drives long traces without series termination resistors. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting 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 external inversion if system-level logic demands inverting behavior on both ports. | Select when non-inverting data path simplifies upstream logic or eliminates need for inverters. |
| 74LVT640PW,118 | Lower VCC range (2.7–3.6V); 3.3V-only operation; reduced drive (±32mA); 3.5ns typical tPLH. | Not suitable for 5V legacy bus systems; intended for mixed-voltage 3.3V core/5V I/O architectures. | Choose for 3.3V domain integration where lower power and voltage compatibility outweigh 5V interoperability. |
Compared with SN74ABT245DBR and 74LVT640PW,118, the 74ABT640PW,118 uniquely delivers inverting transceivers in a 5V-optimized TSSOP package with highest sink current (64mA), making it optimal for driving legacy TTL loads without redesigning signal polarity or adding discrete inverters.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the 74ABT640PW,118 data paths?
The 74ABT640PW,118 implements inverting logic on both A and B sides: a logic HIGH at A0 produces a logic LOW at B0 when DIR = L and OE = L, and vice versa. This inversion is inherent to the device architecture and applies regardless of direction setting, as confirmed in the FUNCTION TABLE and LOGIC SYMBOL sections of the Philips specification.
Does the 74ABT640PW,118 support hot-plug operation?
Yes, the 74ABT640PW,118 supports live insertion/extraction per its datasheet features list. It includes latch-up protection exceeding 500mA per JEDEC Std 17 and ESD protection >2000V HBM, enabling safe use in modular backplane systems where cards are inserted or removed while powered.
What is the maximum recommended load capacitance for the 74ABT640PW,118?
The 74ABT640PW,118 AC characteristics are specified with CL = 50pF, and its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and output enable/disable times are characterized under that condition. While not explicitly rated beyond 50pF, the device's ±64mA drive strength allows stable operation with higher capacitance loads-up to ~100pF-provided trace impedance and slew rate constraints are observed.
How does the 74ABT640PW,118 behave during power-up?
The 74ABT640PW,118 features power-up 3-State: all B-side outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes and control inputs settle. This prevents bus contention at power-on, as verified in the FEATURES section and supported by ICCZ and IPU/IPD DC electrical characteristics showing controlled leakage during VCC ramp.
Is the 74ABT640PW,118 pin-compatible with other 20-pin transceivers like the 74ABT245?
No, the 74ABT640PW,118 is not pin-compatible with the 74ABT245. Its pinout differs significantly: DIR is on pin 1 (vs. pin 1 on 74ABT245 being OE), and B-side I/Os occupy pins 11–18 (vs. pins 2–9 on 74ABT245). Direct replacement would require PCB layout revision due to incompatible signal mapping and inversion behavior.
