Product details
Overview
74ACT16623DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit dual 8-bit bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and flow-through pin architecture optimized for PCB layout. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and features tPLH/tPHL propagation delays as low as 4.2 ns/3.1 ns at VCC = 5 V - used in high-speed backplane and motherboard data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16623DL datasheet, 74ACT16623DL pinout, 74ACT16623DL application, or 74ACT16623DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 3-state enable control (OEBA/OEAB), distributed VCC/GND pin configuration for noise reduction, EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process, and SSOP-48 (DL) package compatibility with space-constrained industrial control and telecom interface designs.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16623DL implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 16-bit buses using independent OEBA (B→A enable) and OEAB (A→B enable) controls. Its dual-enable mode allows simultaneous activation to latch bus states via feedback reinforcement - no external storage required.
It uses TI's EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process with distributed power/ground pins (12× VCC and 12× GND across 48-pin SSOP) to suppress high-speed switching noise. Input transition rate tolerance up to 10 ns/V ensures robust timing margin in mixed-signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads at full speed without external buffers in dense bus topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL = 4.2 ns / 3.1 ns (min, VCC = 5 V) - enables >100 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage-level inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - interoperable with legacy 74LS and microcontroller GPIOs without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including programmable logic controllers and base station interfaces. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.2 W max (TA = 55°C, DL package) - supports continuous operation in convection-cooled enclosures without forced airflow. |
| 3-State Leakage | IOZ = ±5 µA (VCC = 5.5 V) - ensures minimal bus contention during high-impedance isolation in multi-drop architectures. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16623DL is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, 25-mil center-to-center pin pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB | B-bus to A-bus output enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers for B→A data path; low enables transmission, high isolates A bus. |
| 1OEBA, 2OEBA | A-bus to B-bus output enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers for A→B data path; low enables transmission, high isolates B bus. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side bidirectional I/O ports | First and second 8-bit A-bus lanes; function as inputs when corresponding OEAB active, outputs when OEBA active. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side bidirectional I/O ports | First and second 8-bit B-bus lanes; function as inputs when corresponding OEBA active, outputs when OEAB active. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and ground bounce across high-frequency switching events. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 26, 32, 37, 43) | Ground reference | 12 total GND pins interleaved with VCC and I/O to reduce loop inductance and EMI in 16-bit parallel paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides (e.g., 1A1 ↔ 1B1) - eliminates layer jumps and reduces trace length by up to 40% in dense PCB layouts. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Separate OEBA and OEAB inputs per 8-bit section - enables asymmetric bus directionality, partial isolation, and dynamic reconfiguration without system reset. |
| Bus hold capability via dual-enable mode | Simultaneous OEBA + OEAB low reinforces current bus state - maintains valid logic levels on both A and B buses when all other drivers are high-Z, eliminating need for external pull-ups. |
| EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process | Combines TTL input thresholds with CMOS power efficiency - achieves 80 µA ICC (max) at standby while sustaining 24 mA drive strength. |
| Distributed power/ground network | 12 VCC and 12 GND pins evenly spaced across 48-pin footprint - reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) below 150 mVpp in 16-bit burst transfers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT162245DLR | 16-bit non-inverting transceiver with single-direction control (DIR) and single OE; no dual-OE bus hold mode. | Lacks simultaneous OEBA+OEAB latching behavior; requires external logic for bus state retention. | Preferred where unidirectional data flow dominates and board space favors simpler control logic. |
| 74LVC16245ADL,118 | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V), smaller 48-pin TSSOP package. | Not 5-V tolerant; incompatible with legacy 5-V bus systems unless level-shifted. | Select when migrating to low-voltage domains and interfacing exclusively with 3.3-V FPGAs or ASICs. |
Compared with SN74ACT162245DLR and 74LVC16245ADL,118, the 74ACT16623DL uniquely supports true bidirectional latching via dual OE control and maintains full 5-V system interoperability - critical for brownfield industrial upgrades and mixed-voltage backplanes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ACT16623DL?
The 74ACT16623DL is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade rating makes it suitable for deployment in programmable logic controllers, base station radios, and factory automation hardware where thermal cycling and extended uptime are required. The 74ACT16623DL maintains full electrical specifications across this entire range without derating.
Does the 74ACT16623DL support true bidirectional data flow without external direction control logic?
Yes - the 74ACT16623DL implements native bidirectional operation through independent OEAB (B→A enable) and OEBA (A→B enable) inputs. Unlike unidirectional transceivers requiring a separate DIR pin, the 74ACT16623DL allows A↔B data transfer, isolated bus segments, or simultaneous latching - all controlled solely by the two OE signals. This eliminates external logic gates in compact bus arbitration schemes.
Can the 74ACT16623DL be used to isolate two 5-V buses while maintaining signal integrity at 50 MHz?
Yes - the 74ACT16623DL delivers tPLH/tPHL propagation delays as low as 4.2 ns/3.1 ns at VCC = 5 V, supporting reliable 50-MHz bus toggling with margin. Its distributed VCC/GND pin structure and 16 pF Cio capacitance minimize crosstalk and ground bounce. When used with controlled-impedance 50-Ω traces and proper decoupling, the 74ACT16623DL sustains signal integrity across 16-bit parallel paths at this frequency.
What package type and lead finish does the 74ACT16623DL use?
The 74ACT16623DL is supplied in a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 300-mil body width and 25-mil pin pitch. It features a RoHS-compliant NIPDAU (nickel/palladium/gold) lead finish and meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), enabling standard reflow assembly without baking.
How does the dual-enable mode of the 74ACT16623DL provide bus state retention?
When both OEBA and OEAB are driven low, the 74ACT16623DL enters dual-enable mode: each output actively drives its corresponding input, reinforcing the present logic state on both A and B buses. With all other drivers in high-impedance, this feedback loop holds bus values indefinitely - eliminating need for external pull-up/down resistors or latch ICs. This behavior is intrinsic to the 74ACT16623DL's internal architecture and requires no additional configuration.
