Product details
Overview
74ACT16543DLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC with dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths, 3-state outputs, TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and flow-through pinout architecture optimized for high-density PCB layout. It operates from –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply, supports ±24 mA output drive, and features independent A↔B latch enable (LEAB/LEBA) and output enable (OEAB/OEBA) controls per register.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16543DLR datasheet, 74ACT16543DLR pinout, 74ACT16543DLR application, or 74ACT16543DLR equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed bus interface, memory expansion, and bidirectional data buffering in industrial control backplanes and legacy computing systems where latch-controlled data staging and noise-immune 3-state isolation are required.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16543DLR implements two independent octal D-type latched transceivers - each with separate CE, LE, and OE controls - enabling simultaneous or staggered A-to-B and B-to-A data transfers. Its EPIC 1-μm CMOS process delivers 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and supports 11.6 ns max tPHL/tPLH propagation delay across the full temperature range.
Distributed VCC/GND pin configuration minimizes high-speed switching noise, while flow-through architecture aligns input and output pins on opposite sides of the package to simplify trace routing. All control inputs accept TTL-level voltages (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V), and outputs drive ±24 mA at VCC = 5 V with VOH ≥ 3.8 V and VOL ≤ 0.44 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 16-bit bidirectional registered transceiver with dual 8-bit latched paths |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and control equipment |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminate short stubs on parallel buses |
| Propagation Delay | Max 11.6 ns (tPHL/tPLH) - enables reliable operation up to ~50 MHz bus clock rates with margin |

Pinout & Package
74ACT16543DLR is housed in a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 380-mil body width, 25-mil center-to-center pin pitch, with exposed thermal pad not present. Pin numbering follows standard DL package top-view orientation with Pin 1 in Q1 quadrant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBA, 2OEBA | Output Enable (active-low) | Individually disables A→B or B→A outputs to high-impedance state; critical for bus arbitration and contention avoidance |
| 1LEAB, 2LEAB, 1LEBA, 2LEBA | Latch Enable (active-low) | Controls transparent vs. storage mode for corresponding 8-bit register; low-to-high transition captures data |
| 1CEAB, 2CEAB, 1CEBA, 2CEBA | Chip Enable (active-low) | Gates data flow directionally - must be low to allow A→B or B→A transfer; enables hierarchical bus partitioning |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A inputs/outputs | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data ports on A side; connected to local processor or controller bus |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B inputs/outputs | First and second 8-bit bidirectional data ports on B side; typically connected to memory, peripheral, or backplane bus |
| VCC (Pins 7, 20, 32, 46, 54) | Power supply | Five distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity across wide data bus |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 25, 37, 49) | Ground reference | Five distributed GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, essential for clean signal integrity at >20 MHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite package edges - eliminates layer jumps and reduces crosstalk in dense 16-bit bus layouts |
| Distributed VCC/GND pins | Five VCC and five GND pins interleaved across package - lowers ground bounce and improves EMI performance at high switching rates |
| Independent directional control | Separate CE/LE/OE per 8-bit register - allows asymmetric data flow (e.g., A→B active while B→A held in latch) for flexible bus protocol handling |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts standard 74LS/74ALS logic thresholds - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-logic-system upgrades |
| EPIC 1-μm CMOS process | Enables 500-mA latch-up immunity and stable operation up to 125°C junction - suitable for thermally constrained industrial enclosures |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16245DLR | Non-latched 16-bit transceiver; no LE/CE inputs - only OE-controlled 3-state buffering | Suitable for simple bus driving without data staging; lacks register functionality for pipeline or synchronization | Select when latch control is unnecessary and lower propagation delay (9.5 ns) is prioritized over data retention capability |
| SN74LVTH16543DGGR | Lower-voltage (3.3 V) LVTH family; TTL-compatible inputs but 3.3-V supply; 56-pin TSSOP (DGG) | Designed for mixed-voltage systems interfacing 3.3-V logic with 5-V peripherals; not drop-in compatible due to VCC and timing differences | Choose for new 3.3-V designs requiring similar register control but improved power efficiency and reduced EMI |
Compared with 74ACT16543DLR, the 74ACT16245DLR offers faster throughput but no data staging, while the SN74LVTH16543DGGR provides 3.3-V operation and better noise margin at the cost of non-interchangeable supply and thermal characteristics - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74ACT16543DLR?
The 74ACT16543DLR operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This 5-V nominal specification ensures compatibility with standard TTL and CMOS logic families, and accommodates typical power rail tolerances in industrial power supplies. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings.
Does the 74ACT16543DLR support true bidirectional data flow with independent control?
Yes, the 74ACT16543DLR supports fully independent bidirectional data flow via two sets of dedicated control inputs: CEAB/LEAB/OEAB govern A-to-B transfer, while CEBA/LEBA/OEBA manage B-to-A transfer. Each 8-bit register can be enabled, latched, or tri-stated separately - enabling asymmetric protocols such as simultaneous A→B write and B→A read in memory-mapped I/O systems.
What package type and pin count does the 74ACT16543DLR use?
The 74ACT16543DLR uses a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 25-mil center-to-center pin pitch and 380-mil body width. This DL package provides twice the I/O density of standard SOIC while maintaining compatibility with automated SMT assembly processes and offering superior thermal and electrical performance versus older wide-body alternatives.
How does the flow-through architecture of the 74ACT16543DLR benefit PCB layout?
The flow-through architecture of the 74ACT16543DLR positions inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package - e.g., Port A pins on one edge and Port B pins on the opposing edge - allowing straight-line trace routing without layer changes or vias. This reduces crosstalk, impedance discontinuities, and signal skew in high-speed 16-bit parallel buses, directly improving timing margin and EMI performance.
Is the 74ACT16543DLR pin-compatible with other members of the ACT16543 family?
Yes, the 74ACT16543DLR shares identical pinout and function with the 74ACT16543DGGR (TSSOP-DGG) and 54ACT16543WD (ceramic flat), as confirmed by TI's SCAS126B datasheet and package addendum. All variants use the same 56-pin assignment, including distributed VCC/GND and dual-register control structure - enabling footprint interchangeability where thermal and mechanical constraints permit.
