Product details
Overview
74FCT621ATSOG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is an octal bus transceiver with open-drain outputs in both A→B and B→A directions, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data bus interfacing. It operates at 5V ±5%, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), sinks up to 64mA per B-bus output, and features TTL-compatible inputs/outputs with VOH = 3.3V (typ.) and VOL = 0.3V (typ.). It enables live insertion via power-off disable outputs.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT621ATSOG8 datasheet, 74FCT621ATSOG8 pinout, 74FCT621ATSOG8 application, or 74FCT621ATSOG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain bidirectional drive capability, 64mA B-bus sink current, JEDEC 18 compliance, SOIC-20 package compatibility, and industrial-grade thermal performance.
Technical Context
The 74FCT621ATSOG8 implements dual-directional bus communication using two independent enable controls (GBA and GAB), allowing selective activation of A-to-B or B-to-A data flow without bus contention. Its open-drain architecture requires external pull-ups and supports wired-AND logic, level translation, and hot-swap operation.
It meets JEDEC Standard 18 for TTL compatibility and delivers propagation delays as low as 1.5ns (tPHL, B→A) and 5.5ns (tPLH, A→B) under CL = 50pF and RL = 500Ω conditions. Quiescent ICC is ≤1mA, and input leakage remains ≤±1µA across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±5% - fixed single-rail operation; no internal regulation required |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| B-Bus Sink Current | 64mA per output - drives ≥15 standard TTL loads or high-capacitance buses |
| A-Bus Sink Current | 48mA per output - lower drive strength optimized for reduced noise on A-side |
| tPLH / tPHL | 5.5ns / 1.5ns min (B→A) - enables sub-10ns asynchronous bus handshaking |
| Input Leakage | ≤±1µA max - ensures stable logic levels with high-impedance or floating bus segments |
| JEDEC Compliance | Meets Std. 18 - guarantees interoperability with legacy TTL and CMOS systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin SOIC (SO-20, body width 7.5mm, JEDEC MS-013), RoHS-compliant, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | GAB, GBA | Active-low enable inputs controlling direction: GAB enables B→A, GBA enables A→B |
| 2–9, 11–18 | A1–A8, B1–B8 | Open-drain bidirectional I/Os - require external pull-up resistors; tolerate VCC+0.5V |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all signals and power return path |
| 20 | VCC | 5V supply rail - powers internal logic; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-drain bidirectional I/O | Enables wired-AND arbitration, level shifting between 3.3V and 5V domains, and shared bus topology |
| Live-insertion support | Outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V - prevents back-driving during hot-plug operations |
| TTL-compatible interface | VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max - interoperates directly with 74LS, 74ALS, and microcontroller GPIOs |
| Low dynamic power | ICCD = 0.15–0.25 mA/MHz - reduces switching noise and heat in high-frequency bus toggling |
| Industrial reliability | Specified over –40°C to +85°C with 150°C max storage temp - suitable for factory automation and transportation systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy System Bus Extender |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing modular I/O cards to a central controller bus in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional open-drain transceiver isolating card-local and backplane buses while supporting hot-swap insertion.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT621CTSO | Same function and pinout; commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C); higher ICC (max 2mA vs 1mA) | Limited to non-industrial environments; not qualified for extended thermal cycling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs environmental ruggedness requirements |
| 74LCX623MTCX | 3.3V-only supply (2.7–3.6V); push-pull (not open-drain) outputs; different enable logic (active-high) | Requires level-shifting for 5V systems; incompatible with wired-AND or hot-swap use cases | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where open-drain functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74FCT621CTSO and 74LCX623MTCX, the 74FCT621ATSOG8 uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, true open-drain bidirectionality, and 5V TTL compatibility-making it irreplaceable in legacy bus extension and hot-pluggable industrial subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current per output on the B bus of the 74FCT621ATSOG8?
The 74FCT621ATSOG8 supports up to 64mA DC sink current per B-bus output (B1–B8) under VCC = 5.0V min and TA = –40°C to +85°C. This rating allows direct driving of multiple TTL loads or termination of high-capacitance backplane traces without external buffers. The A-bus outputs are rated for 48mA, reflecting asymmetric drive optimization.
Does the 74FCT621ATSOG8 support live insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the 74FCT621ATSOG8 supports live insertion through its power-off disable feature. When VCC = 0V, all outputs enter a high-impedance state regardless of input states, preventing back-driving of powered bus segments. This behavior is confirmed by IOFF leakage ≤±1µA at VCC = 0V and VIN/VO = –4.5V, enabling safe hot-plug operation in modular industrial systems.
What are the voltage thresholds for logic HIGH and LOW inputs on the 74FCT621ATSOG8?
The 74FCT621ATSOG8 specifies VIH (min) = 2.0V and VIL (max) = 0.8V under industrial conditions (VCC = 5.0V ±5%, TA = –40°C to +85°C). These values ensure reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels. Input hysteresis is 200mV, improving noise immunity on electrically noisy industrial buses where the 74FCT621ATSOG8 is commonly deployed.
Is the 74FCT621ATSOG8 pin-compatible with other members of the IDT74FCT621 family?
Yes, the 74FCT621ATSOG8 shares identical pinout and function with IDT74FCT621T and IDT74FCT621AT variants. All use the same SOIC-20 package and pin mapping, differing only in temperature grade (industrial vs commercial) and ordering suffix. No PCB layout changes are needed when substituting within this family, provided thermal and timing margins remain acceptable.
What package type and RoHS status does the 74FCT621ATSOG8 have?
The 74FCT621ATSOG8 is supplied in a 20-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, with 7.5mm body width and green (lead-free) molding compound. It is RoHS-compliant and marked with "G" in the ordering code (74FCT621ATSOG8), confirming exemption from lead-based solder requirements per EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
