Product details
Overview
74FCT543CTQG8 from Renesas Electronics is a non-inverting octal latched transceiver in QSOP-24 package, operating over –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It features dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths with independent A-to-B and B-to-A latch/enable controls, ±1 µA max input/output leakage, 3.3 V typical VOH, 0.3 V typical VOL, and high-drive outputs (–15 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL). It enables isolated bus interfacing in backplane or modular system designs.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT543CTQG8 datasheet, 74FCT543CTQG8 pinout, 74FCT543CTQG8 application, or 74FCT543CTQG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), 5.0 V ±5% supply operation, 5.3 ns max propagation delay (74FCT543CT grade), live-insertion support via power-off disable outputs, and JEDEC Std-18 compliance.
Technical Context
The 74FCT543CTQG8 implements two independent sets of eight D-type latches - one for A-to-B and one for B-to-A data flow - each controlled by dedicated CE (chip enable), LE (latch enable), and OE (output enable) inputs. All control inputs are active-low and fully asynchronous relative to data inputs.
It uses advanced dual-metal CMOS technology to achieve true TTL input compatibility (VIH/VIL thresholds matched to TTL logic families) and CMOS power efficiency (ICC ≤ 1 mA typical at 5 V). Output buffers provide 3-state capability with high sink current (64 mA IOL) and robust drive strength for driving terminated transmission lines or multiple loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0 V ±5% - ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 5.3 ns max (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω) - supports high-speed synchronous bus handshaking up to ~100 MHz effective data rate. |
| Output Drive | –15 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Leakage | ±1 µA max (TA = –40°C to +85°C) - guarantees low standby current in powered-down subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and telecom infrastructure. |
| JEDEC Compliance | Meets or exceeds JEDEC Standard 18 - ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability across certified suppliers. |
Pinout & Package
74FCT543CTQG8 is housed in a 24-pin Quarter-size Small Outline Package (QSOP), 3.9 mm × 8.7 mm body, 0.635 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant green finish (Package Code: PCG24).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A7 | A-side bidirectional I/O terminals | When CEAB low and OEAB low: A inputs drive B outputs; when CEBA low and OEBA low: A becomes 3-state output reflecting B-side data. |
| B0–B7 | B-side bidirectional I/O terminals | When CEBA low and OEBA low: B inputs drive A outputs; when CEAB low and OEAB low: B becomes 3-state output reflecting A-side data. |
| CEAB | A-to-B chip enable (active low) | Enables A-to-B data path only when low; disables latching and output drivers when high. |
| CEBA | B-to-A chip enable (active low) | Enables B-to-A data path only when low; isolates B-side logic from A-side when high. |
| LEAB | A-to-B latch enable (active low) | Low = transparent mode (A→B pass-through); low-to-high edge captures and holds A data in latches. |
| LEBA | B-to-A latch enable (active low) | Low = transparent mode (B→A pass-through); low-to-high edge captures and holds B data in latches. |
| OEAB | A-to-B output enable (active low) | Controls 3-state B outputs: low = enabled (reflecting A latch contents); high = high-impedance. |
| OEBA | B-to-A output enable (active low) | Controls 3-state A outputs: low = enabled (reflecting B latch contents); high = high-impedance. |
| VCC | Positive supply | 5.0 V ±5% main power rail; all DC and switching specs referenced to this node. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and supply currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max - eliminates level-shifting when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable outputs (IOFF ≤ ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V) - allows hot-swap of daughter cards without disrupting backplane voltage rails. |
| High sink current | 64 mA IOL per output - directly drives LEDs, optocouplers, or multiple 74-series inputs without external drivers. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 1 mA typical - reduces system-level standby power in always-on industrial controllers. |
| Independent dual-path control | Separate CE/LE/OE for A↔B directions - enables asymmetric data flow management (e.g., A-to-B streaming while B-to-A polling). |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Modular PLC I/O Expansion |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latched transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT543ATQG8 | Same pinout and function; faster propagation delay (6.5 ns max vs. 5.3 ns for CT grade) and higher ICC (1 mA max vs. 0.5 mA max quiescent). | Preferred where tighter timing margins are required and higher static power is acceptable. | Select 74FCT543ATQG8 for high-speed deterministic control loops; select 74FCT543CTQG8 for lower-power industrial monitoring nodes. |
| SN74F543N | Through-hole PDIP-24 package; identical logic function but higher ICC (5 mA typical), no power-off disable (IOFF not specified), and wider propagation delay (10 ns max). | Suitable for prototyping or legacy board replacements where surface-mount constraints do not apply. | Choose SN74F543N only for through-hole designs or legacy repair; 74FCT543CTQG8 offers superior power, speed, and live-insertion capability in QSOP. |
Compared with 74FCT543ATQG8, the 74FCT543CTQG8 trades minor speed reduction for lower quiescent current and improved thermal stability in extended industrial environments; versus SN74F543N, it delivers surface-mount integration, live-insertion safety, and 80% lower static power consumption.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74FCT543CTQG8?
The 74FCT543CTQG8 operates at VCC = 5.0 V ±5%, i.e., 4.75 V to 5.25 V. This range ensures full compliance with TTL logic thresholds and guarantees all AC/DC specifications-including VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.55 V, and tPLH ≤ 5.3 ns-as validated across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Operation outside this window may result in undefined behavior or parametric failure.
Does the 74FCT543CTQG8 support live insertion?
Yes, the 74FCT543CTQG8 supports live insertion due to its power-off disable feature: when VCC = 0 V, IOFF leakage is limited to ±1 µA maximum on all I/O pins. This prevents back-driving of powered system buses during hot-swap events. The feature is explicitly characterized and guaranteed per datasheet Section "DC Electrical Characteristics" and applies to both A0–A7 and B0–B7 terminals.
How does the latch enable (LE) function differ from chip enable (CE) in the 74FCT543CTQG8?
In the 74FCT543CTQG8, CEAB/CEBA gates data path activation (enabling latch transparency and output driver readiness), while LEAB/LEBA controls data capture timing: a low LE enables real-time pass-through; a low-to-high transition stores the current A/B inputs into internal latches. Both CE and LE must be asserted (low) for functional data transfer-CE alone does not cause latching.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74FCT543CTQG8 can drive reliably?
The 74FCT543CTQG8 is characterized for CL = 50 pF in switching tests (tPLH/tPHL), and its 64 mA IOL rating supports driving ≥10 standard TTL loads (each ~10 pF + 1.6 kΩ) simultaneously. For heavier loads (>75 pF), layout best practices-short traces, local decoupling, and series termination-are recommended to maintain signal integrity and avoid overshoot beyond the absolute max VTERM limit of VCC + 0.5 V.
Is the 74FCT543CTQG8 pin-compatible with the 74FCT543ATQG8?
Yes, the 74FCT543CTQG8 and 74FCT543ATQG8 share identical QSOP-24 pinout, terminal functions, and DC/AC electrical interface definitions. They differ only in speed grade (CT = 5.3 ns max tPLH, AT = 6.5 ns max) and quiescent current (CT = 0.5 mA max ICC, AT = 1 mA max), making them direct drop-in alternatives where timing or power targets permit interchange.
