Product details
Overview
74ABT646AD,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an octal bus transceiver/register with 3-state outputs, combining BiCMOS logic for high-speed bidirectional data transfer (max 350 MHz), ±64 mA/−32 mA output drive, and dual independent A/B registers for real-time or stored-bus operation in industrial control backplanes and memory-mapped I/O systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT646AD,118 datasheet, 74ABT646AD,118 pinout, 74ABT646AD,118 application, or 74ABT646AD,118 equivalent, this device supports multiplexed bus management-real-time transfer, register storage, isolation, and stored-data forwarding-with precise timing control via CPAB/CPBA clocks and DIR/OE/SAB/SBA inputs.
Technical Context
The 74ABT646AD,118 implements a dual-register transceiver architecture where CPAB and CPBA independently clock data into A-side and B-side D-type flip-flops, while DIR selects direction and OE enables/disables 3-state outputs. SAB and SBA determine whether data flows directly or is latched before transfer.
Its BiCMOS process delivers low propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.6 ns), fast 3-state switching (tPZH ≤ 6.3 ns), and robust ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V, MM > 200 V), operating across −40 °C to +85 °C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Function | Octal bidirectional bus transceiver with dual independent A/B registers and 3-state outputs |
| Max frequency | 350 MHz - supports high-throughput parallel bus interfaces without timing bottlenecks |
| Output drive | +64 mA sink / −32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs directly |
| Propagation delay | ≤ 5.6 ns (CPAB→Bn) - ensures tight setup/hold timing margins in 50 MHz+ synchronous buses |
| Supply voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of rail droop |

Pinout & Package
74ABT646AD,118 is supplied in SO24 (SOT137-1) plastic small outline package: 24-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CPAB | A-to-B clock input | Triggers latching of A-bus data into B-side register on LOW-to-HIGH transition |
| 2 SAB | A-to-B select input | Enables real-time A→B transfer when active; stores A data when inactive and OE HIGH |
| 3 DIR | Direction control input | When LOW: B bus drives A bus; when HIGH: A bus drives B bus (with OE active) |
| 4–11 A0–A7 | A-side I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines; input when driving B bus, output when driven by B bus or B register |
| 12 GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 13–20 B0–B7 | B-side I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines; input when driving A bus, output when driven by A bus or A register |
| 21 OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Disables all outputs to high-impedance state; input functions remain active during isolation |
| 22 SBA | B-to-A select input | Enables real-time B→A transfer when active; stores B data when inactive and OE HIGH |
| 23 CPBA | B-to-A clock input | Triggers latching of B-bus data into A-side register on LOW-to-HIGH transition |
| 24 VCC | Positive supply | 4.5–5.5 V power rail; powers all logic, registers, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent registers | Separate A and B flip-flop banks allow concurrent storage and forwarding-no bus contention during register updates |
| Multiplexed real-time & stored transfer | Four distinct operational modes (real-time A↔B, store A/B, isolate, forward stored data) controlled by OE/DIR/SAB/SBA |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Power-up 3-state and latch-up immunity (>500 mA) permit hot-swap in backplane and modular systems |
| High-current 3-state outputs | +64 mA sink capability enables direct drive of 10+ TTL loads or long PCB traces without buffers |
| Robust thermal & electrical specs | 150 °C max junction temperature and 5.5 V absolute max supply ensure reliability under transient overvoltage or ambient stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver/register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ABT245A | No internal registers; only real-time transceiver function; lower drive (+32 mA/−64 mA) | Lacks stored-data forwarding and isolation modes; suitable only for simple bidirectional bus extension | Select when register functionality is unnecessary and cost or footprint reduction is prioritized |
| 74ABT373A | Octal transparent latch only; unidirectional; no transceiver capability or DIR/OE control | Supports only A→Q latching; cannot perform bidirectional bus transfer or real-time pass-through | Select when only one-way registered data capture is required, not bidirectional bus management |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the 74ABT646AD,118?
The 74ABT646AD,118 is an octal bus transceiver/register with dual independent A/B registers and 3-state outputs. It performs real-time bidirectional data transfer, register storage, isolation, and stored-data forwarding-controlled by DIR, OE, SAB, SBA, CPAB, and CPBA inputs. Its BiCMOS design enables high speed (up to 350 MHz), strong drive (+64 mA sink), and industrial temperature operation (−40 °C to +85 °C).
Does the 74ABT646AD,118 support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, the 74ABT646AD,118 supports live insertion and extraction due to its power-up 3-state behavior and latch-up protection exceeding 500 mA per JESD78B Class II Level A. This allows safe connection/disconnection in powered backplane or modular systems without disrupting adjacent circuitry-critical for industrial maintenance and field-replaceable units.
What are the key timing parameters for the 74ABT646AD,118?
Key timing parameters for the 74ABT646AD,118 include maximum frequency of 350 MHz, CPAB→Bn propagation delay ≤ 5.6 ns, An→Bn delay ≤ 4.8 ns, OE→output enable time ≤ 6.3 ns (tPZH), and setup/hold times of 3.0 ns/0.0 ns respectively. All values are specified across −40 °C to +85 °C at VCC = 5.0 V ± 0.5 V, ensuring reliable timing in industrial environments.
How does the 74ABT646AD,118 differ from the 74ABT245A?
The 74ABT646AD,118 integrates both transceiver and dual-register functionality, supporting four operational modes (real-time transfer, register storage, isolation, stored-data forwarding). In contrast, the 74ABT245A is a basic octal transceiver with no internal registers, limited to real-time bidirectional transfer only-and offers lower output drive (+32 mA/−64 mA vs. +64 mA/−32 mA).
What package type is used for the 74ABT646AD,118?
The 74ABT646AD,118 uses the SO24 (SOT137-1) plastic small outline package: 24-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, surface-mount compatible.
