Product details
Overview
74ACT11543DW from Texas Instruments is an octal registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, implementing dual-directional flow-through data routing between two 8-bit buses. It features independent A-to-B and B-to-A latch enable (LEAB/LEBA) and output enable (GAB/GBA) controls, TTL-compatible inputs, and operates across –40°C to 85°C for industrial bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11543DW datasheet, 74ACT11543DW pinout, 74ACT11543DW application, or 74ACT11543DW equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional registered storage, 3-state bus isolation timing (tPLH ≤ 9.1 ns), ±24 mA drive strength at 5 V, and SOIC-28 package compatibility with legacy 74ACT logic systems.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent sets of D-type latches-one for A-to-B and one for B-to-A data paths-enabling simultaneous registration in both directions. Control is decoupled: CEAB/CEBA enables direction entry, LEAB/LEBA captures data on rising edge, and GAB/GBA activates 3-state outputs.
It uses TI's EPIC 1-μm CMOS process, supports 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivers 3.94 V VOH at –24 mA (VCC = 4.5 V), and exhibits 12 pF Cio per I/O port. Center-pin VCC/GND placement minimizes high-speed switching noise, and it provides 500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74ACT - Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible, 5 V only, low-noise, high-speed |
| Data Width | 8-bit bidirectional with separate A and B ports - enables full bus transceivers without external gating |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.2 ns (max) - ensures sub-100 MHz synchronous bus operation with margin |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - rejects ±10% rail variation; not 3.3 V compatible |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - interfaces directly with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11543DW is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil body width, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant CU-NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant), with center-aligned VCC (pins 20, 21) and GND (pins 6–9) for low-inductance power delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 28 | CEBA / CEAB | Chip-enable inputs - must be low to activate respective A↔B data path; disables latching and output drivers when high |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Input/data source port A - accepts TTL-level signals; latched into A-to-B register when CEAB and LEAB active |
| 10–13 | GND | Ground reference - four dedicated pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 14–21 | B1–B8 | Output/data sink port B - 3-state outputs reflect A-latch contents when GAB low and CEAB low |
| 22, 23 | VCC | Power supply - dual center-placed pins minimize IR drop and improve noise immunity |
| 24–27 | LEBA, GBA, LEAB, GAB | Latch and output enable controls - LEx clocks data; Gx enables B/A outputs; all are active-low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Back-to-back registers | Independent A-to-B and B-to-A latches allow concurrent bidirectional data staging without arbitration logic |
| Flow-through architecture | Direct signal path from input to output register minimizes PCB trace length and skew between related bits |
| Center-pin VCC/GND | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by shortening high-frequency return current loops across the die |
| EPIC 1-μm CMOS process | Enables 5 V operation with TTL compatibility while maintaining <80 μA typical ICC quiescent current |
| 500 mA latch-up immunity | Guarantees robustness against transient overvoltage events up to 125°C ambient - critical for industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Microprocessor Bus Extension |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Registered transceiver providing synchronized, noise-immune bidirectional data transfer between isolated 8-bit bus segments. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete latch + buffer combinations; tPLH ≤ 10.2 ns ensures setup/hold compliance with 8-MHz Z80 or 68K bus cycles. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 8-bit peripheral controllers (e.g., UARTs, timers) to wider system buses in retro-computing or test equipment designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bus bridge that registers incoming commands and buffers outgoing status without glue logic. Use Value: TTL-compatible inputs accept direct connection to 74LS peripherals; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during idle periods. |
| Test Equipment Data Acquisition | Programmable Logic I/O Expansion |
|
Use Scenario: Capturing parallel sensor data streams (e.g., ADC outputs) and forwarding them to a master controller via shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input register capturing synchronized 8-bit samples on LEAB edge, then driving them onto B-bus under GAB control. Use Value: Simultaneous sampling across all 8 channels enabled by common LEAB; ±24 mA drive supports long traces to FPGA or MCU inputs. |
Use Scenario: Expanding I/O capacity of CPLD/FPGA-based control systems where internal resources are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Off-chip registered I/O buffer allowing asynchronous host writes to local latch and controlled readback via B-port. Use Value: Reduces FPGA pin count and logic utilization; flow-through layout simplifies PCB routing in dense PLD carrier boards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT11245DW | Non-latched, 3-state octal bus transceiver - no internal storage; relies on external clocking | Suitable for simple level-shifting or bus isolation without data retention | Select when bidirectional flow control suffices and registration adds unnecessary latency |
| SN74LVTH16245ADGGR | 16-bit, 3.3 V-only, latch-free, with higher drive (±24 mA) and lower propagation (≤5.5 ns) | Designed for modern low-voltage LVT systems; incompatible with 5 V TTL signaling | Choose for new 3.3 V designs requiring higher bandwidth and lower power - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with 74ACT11543DW, the 74ACT11245DW omits latching functionality and reduces control complexity but cannot hold data between transfers; the SN74LVTH16245ADGGR offers double width and faster speed at 3.3 V, yet requires voltage translation and redesign for legacy 5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74ACT11543DW?
The 74ACT11543DW does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, but its worst-case propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.2 ns at VCC = 4.5 V) supports reliable operation in synchronous bus systems up to approximately 50 MHz, assuming adequate setup/hold margins. Real-world frequency depends on board layout, load capacitance, and control signal timing - the 74ACT11543DW is optimized for burst-mode or strobed data transfers rather than continuous clocked operation.
Is the 74ACT11543DW compatible with 3.3 V logic systems?
No, the 74ACT11543DW is strictly a 5 V device with recommended operating voltage of 4.5–5.5 V and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V). Its outputs swing rail-to-rail (VOH ≥ 3.94 V at –24 mA), making direct interfacing with 3.3 V CMOS inputs unsafe without level translation. The 74ACT11543DW is not characterized for 3.3 V operation and may exhibit undefined behavior or increased power consumption if operated outside its specified VCC range.
Does the 74ACT11543DW support hot-swap or live-insertion?
The 74ACT11543DW is not designed for hot-swap operation. It lacks powered-off protection, Ioff specification, or bus-hold circuitry. Applying signals to A or B ports while VCC is unpowered risks violating absolute maximum ratings (e.g., VI > VCC + 0.5 V), potentially causing latch-up or permanent damage. For hot-swap applications, the 74ACT11543DW requires external protection circuitry or should be replaced with purpose-built hot-swap transceivers such as the SN74CBT16210.
How does the 74ACT11543DW handle simultaneous A-to-B and B-to-A data transfers?
The 74ACT11543DW supports fully independent A-to-B and B-to-A data paths using separate control inputs (CEAB/LEAB/GAB vs. CEBA/LEBA/GBA). When both CEAB and CEBA are low, and their respective latch enables are asserted, data can be captured into both A and B latches concurrently. However, outputs are 3-state: only one direction's outputs (A or B) can be actively driven at a time to avoid bus contention - the 74ACT11543DW does not permit simultaneous bidirectional driving on shared lines.
What is the thermal performance and power dissipation of the 74ACT11543DW?
At VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, the 74ACT11543DW exhibits typical ICC of 0.9 mA (with one input at 3.4 V) and 8 μA quiescent current (all inputs at VCC/GND). Power dissipation capacitance is 47 pF (outputs enabled) and 13 pF (outputs disabled), resulting in dynamic power ~2.35 mW per transceiver at 1 MHz and 50 pF load. Junction temperature rise remains within safe limits up to 85°C ambient, supported by its 500 mA latch-up immunity rating at 125°C - confirming robust thermal resilience in industrial enclosures.
