Product details
Overview
74ABT646CSCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal transceiver and register IC with 3-STATE outputs, dual independent A/B data buses, clocked D-type flip-flops, and multiplexed real-time/stored data routing. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports up to 200 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±64 mA sink/source drive, and is used in high-speed bus interface applications such as backplane data transfer and memory-mapped I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT646CSCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed output skew (≤2.5 ns), simultaneous switching noise control, nondestructive hot insertion capability, and support for both 50 pF and 250 pF load conditions in industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The 74ABT646CSCX implements a dual-bus architecture with independent CPAB/CPBA clocks and SAB/SBA select controls, enabling flexible data flow between A and B ports in transparent (real-time) or stored (register) modes. Direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) pins jointly determine active bus direction and 3-STATE state.
Its logic combines bus transceivers, edge-triggered D registers, and multiplexing circuitry - allowing concurrent storage of A→B or B→A data during isolation (OE HIGH), while supporting glitch-free bus loading across power-up/down cycles per guaranteed latchup protection and dynamic threshold specs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems and robust noise margin |
| Max Clock Frequency | 200 MHz - enables high-throughput data transfer in fast synchronous bus interfaces |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - supports heavy capacitive loads and fanout to multiple inputs without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–5.6 ns (CL = 50 pF) - guarantees tight timing control in high-speed digital systems |
| Pin-to-Pin Skew | ≤2.5 ns (HL transitions) - critical for maintaining signal integrity across all 8-bit lanes |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families |
Pinout & Package
74ABT646CSCX is housed in a 24-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, JEDEC MS-153 compliant, 4.4 mm wide, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A7 | Data Register A Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional A-bus interface with register storage and high-impedance control via OE/DIR |
| B0–B7 | Data Register B Inputs / 3-STATE Outputs | Bidirectional B-bus interface with independent register storage and multiplexed output routing |
| CPAB | Clock Pulse A→B | Edge-triggered clock that latches A-bus data into B-register on rising edge |
| CPBA | Clock Pulse B→A | Edge-triggered clock that latches B-bus data into A-register on rising edge |
| SAB | Select A→B | Controls multiplexing of A-register or real-time A-bus data onto B outputs |
| SBA | Select B→A | 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 outputs; LOW enables transceiver/register output paths |
| DIR | Direction Control | Determines primary data flow direction when OE is LOW: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent A/B Registers | Enables concurrent capture and retention of data from both buses without interference or arbitration delay |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver/register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT646N | Same logic function and AC/DC specs; packaged in PDIP (dual in-line) instead of SOIC | Preferred for prototyping or through-hole assembly; lacks SOIC thermal/mechanical advantages | Choose SN74ABT646N only if manual soldering or breadboard evaluation is required |
| 74LVTH16646MTD | 16-bit, 3.3 V operation, different pinout and register control scheme (no separate CPAB/CPBA) | Designed for low-voltage, high-density bus interfaces; not pin-compatible or functionally drop-in | Select 74LVTH16646MTD only when migrating to 3.3 V systems and redesigning layout/control logic |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ABT646CSCX?
The 74ABT646CSCX supports a maximum clock frequency of 200 MHz under standard operating conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = +25°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and applies to both CPAB and CPBA clock inputs. The 74ABT646CSCX achieves this performance using advanced BiCMOS process technology optimized for speed and noise immunity.
Does the 74ABT646CSCX support hot insertion in live backplane systems?
Yes, the 74ABT646CSCX features nondestructive hot insertion capability, verified per Fairchild's characterization. Its input clamping diodes, controlled power-up sequencing, and high-impedance glitch-free behavior during voltage ramp ensure safe insertion into powered systems without damaging the device or causing bus contention. This makes the 74ABT646CSCX suitable for modular industrial chassis where field-replaceable units operate under live power.
What are the key differences between the 74ABT646CSCX and the 74LVTH16646MTD?
The 74ABT646CSCX is an 8-bit, 5 V device with independent CPAB/CPBA clocks and SAB/SBA select controls, while the 74LVTH16646MTD is a 16-bit, 3.3 V device lacking separate clock inputs and using different register control logic. They differ in voltage rating, bit width, pinout, and functional architecture - the 74LVTH16646MTD is not a drop-in replacement for the 74ABT646CSCX and requires PCB and firmware redesign.
How does the 74ABT646CSCX handle simultaneous switching noise (SSN)?
The 74ABT646CSCX guarantees simultaneous switching noise level and dynamic threshold performance per its datasheet specifications. It incorporates internal design techniques including staggered output drivers and optimized power distribution to limit ground bounce and supply droop during multi-bit transitions. These features are validated for both 50 pF and 250 pF load conditions, ensuring reliable operation in dense PCB layouts with high fanout.
Can the 74ABT646CSCX operate with a 4.75 V supply voltage?
Yes, the 74ABT646CSCX is fully specified to operate across a supply voltage range of +4.5 V to +5.5 V, so 4.75 V falls well within its recommended operating conditions. All DC and AC electrical characteristics - including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOL/VOH levels, propagation delays, and output drive strength - are guaranteed at this voltage. The 74ABT646CSCX maintains full functionality and timing compliance at 4.75 V without derating.
