Product details
Overview
74ABT646CMTCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal transceiver and register IC with 3-STATE outputs, designed for bidirectional data bus multiplexing between A and B buses in high-speed TTL-compatible systems. It features independent A/B registers, real-time transparent mode, stored-mode transfer, and direction-controlled data flow under OE-active-low enable. Used in backplane interfaces and memory-mapped I/O expansion where bus isolation and registered data staging are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT646CMTCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed skew (≤2.5 ns), 64 mA sink capability per output, simultaneous switching noise control, nondestructive hot insertion support, and TSSOP-24 packaging compatible with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ABT646CMTCX integrates dual 8-bit D-type flip-flop registers (A and B), clocked by CPAB/CPBA, with multiplexed select logic (SAB/SBA) enabling real-time or registered data routing. Its DIR input determines bus direction during active transceiver mode, while OE controls 3-STATE output enable/disable.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, supports 200 MHz maximum clock frequency (CL = 50 pF), and guarantees propagation delays as low as 1.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL) and output disable time ≤6.0 ns. All timing specs are validated for both 50 pF and 250 pF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 200 MHz - Supports high-throughput data transfer in fast bus architectures. |
| Output Sink Current | 64 mA per pin - Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–5.6 ns (CL = 50 pF) - Enables sub-5 ns timing margins in synchronous bus designs. |
| Pin-to-Pin Skew | ≤2.5 ns (HL transitions) - Guarantees deterministic setup/hold timing across all 8 bits. |
| Hot Insertion | Nondestructive - Allows safe live insertion into powered-backplane systems without latchup risk. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT646CMTCX is housed in a 24-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 4.4 mm wide, with 0.65 mm lead pitch - optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A7 | Data Register A Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port for A-side bus; latched on CPAB rising edge or routed transparently when enabled. |
| B0–B7 | Data Register B Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port for B-side bus; latched on CPBA rising edge or routed transparently when enabled. |
| CPAB | Register Clock Input (A → B) | Rising-edge-triggered clock for loading A-bus data into A register or transferring to B bus. |
| CPBA | Register Clock Input (B → A) | Rising-edge-triggered clock for loading B-bus data into B register or transferring to A bus. |
| SAB | Select Input (A → B path) | Controls multiplexing of A-register or real-time A-bus data onto B outputs. |
| SBA | Select Input (B → A path) | Controls multiplexing of B-register or real-time B-bus data onto A outputs. |
| OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Global 3-STATE control: HIGH disables all A/B outputs; LOW enables transceiver/register operation. |
| DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines primary data flow direction: HIGH = A→B; LOW = B→A during transceiver mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent A/B registers | Enables concurrent storage and routing of two separate 8-bit data streams without interference. |
| Multiplexed real-time + stored data | Per-pin SAB/SBA control allows dynamic mixing of live bus signals and registered values on same output. |
| Guaranteed output skew | ≤2.5 ns max pin-to-pin skew ensures timing-critical parallel bus integrity across full temperature range. |
| 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive | Eliminates need for external bus drivers in standard TTL fanout scenarios. |
| Nondestructive hot insertion | Prevents latchup or damage during live board replacement in telecom or server backplanes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver and register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT646DBR | TSSOP-24 package, identical AC/DC specs, TI-specified 200 MHz max fCLK, same pinout. | Same functional behavior and timing; qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C). | Preferred for automotive or extended-temp designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance. |
| 74FCT646CTSO24 | SOIC-24 package, lower ICCZ (20 µA vs. 50 µA), slightly higher VOL (0.6 V @ 64 mA), same 200 MHz rating. | Higher noise margin but larger footprint; lacks nondestructive hot insertion guarantee. | Selected when SOIC mounting is preferred and hot-swap is not required. |
