Product details
Overview
74HC640N,652 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control between two 8-bit buses. It features direction control (DIR), active-low output enable (OE), propagation delay of 9 ns at VCC = 5 V, and operates across −40 °C to +125 °C. It serves in legacy industrial backplane interfaces requiring level-shifted, isolated bus communication.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC640N,652 datasheet, 74HC640N,652 pinout, 74HC640N,652 application, or 74HC640N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3-state timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 45 ns), inverting logic behavior, HC-family voltage compatibility (2.0–6.0 V), and DIP-20 package mechanical fit for through-hole PCBs.
Technical Context
The 74HC640N,652 implements dual-directional data transfer using a single DIR input to select A→B (inverting) or B→A (inverting) paths, with OE asserting high-impedance on all outputs when HIGH. Its CMOS Si-gate process ensures TTL-level compatibility while delivering low dynamic power via CPD = 35 pF per transceiver.
It complies with JEDEC standard No. 7A and supports cascading via OE and DIR signal routing. Unlike the non-inverting 74HC245, the 74HC640N,652 inverts data on both transmit and receive paths - a fixed architectural trait confirmed in its functional diagram and truth table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC - high-speed CMOS compatible with LSTTL pinout and voltage thresholds |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | 9 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables ≤35 MHz bus operation in synchronous systems |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH/tPLZ = 45 ns max at −40 to +125 °C - defines minimum bus turnaround interval |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage board designs and battery-backed operation |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 3.5 pF - limits capacitive loading on driving gates and preserves signal edge integrity |
| Power Dissipation Cap. (CPD) | 35 pF per transceiver - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi + Σ(CL × VCC² × fo) |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DIP-20 plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 2.54 mm pitch, 7.62 mm body width, 24.2 mm length - compliant with JEDEC MS-001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW enables A→B path; HIGH enables B→A path - determines data flow polarity |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Bidirectional I/O port A | Inputs when DIR selects B→A; outputs (inverted) when DIR selects A→B |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Bidirectional I/O port B | Inputs when DIR selects A→B; outputs (inverted) when DIR selects B→A |
| 19 (OE) | Active-low output enable | LOW enables outputs; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state for bus isolation |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail (2.0–6.0 V); powers internal logic and output buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT640N,652 | TTL-input compatible (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout, timing, and function | Preferred where driving logic is 5 V TTL or LSTTL; same PCB layout but different input threshold behavior | Select when interfacing with legacy 74LS/74ALS families to guarantee VIH/VIL margins |
| SN74LVTH16640DGGR | 16-bit, non-inverting, 3.3 V only, TSSOP-48; higher density, no DIR/OE pin sharing | Used in space-constrained 3.3 V systems requiring wider bus width; not pin-compatible or functionally identical | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs needing >8-bit width and lower voltage operation - requires full redesign |
Compared with 74HC640N,652, the 74HCT640N,652 offers guaranteed TTL input compatibility at identical timing and packaging, while the SN74LVTH16640DGGR provides higher channel count and lower voltage support but demands layout and voltage domain changes.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the 74HC640N,652?
The 74HC640N,652 operates over a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V. This wide range allows it to interface reliably with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without external level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains specified AC and DC performance across this entire range, as validated in the AC characteristics tables for VCC = 2.0 V, 4.5 V, and 6.0 V conditions.
Does the 74HC640N,652 support bidirectional data transfer without external inversion?
Yes - the 74HC640N,652 performs inverting bidirectional data transfer natively. When DIR = LOW, A inputs are inverted and driven onto B outputs; when DIR = HIGH, B inputs are inverted and driven onto A outputs. No external inverters are needed, making it ideal for parity generation, checksum computation, or differential bus signaling where consistent inversion is required in both directions.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74HC640N,652?
The 74HC640N,652 is rated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. This extended temperature range is explicitly confirmed in the AC characteristics tables for both 74HC and 74HCT variants. It qualifies the device for use in under-hood automotive modules, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom infrastructure where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial-grade limits.
How does the 74HC640N,652 differ from the 74HC245 in functionality?
The 74HC640N,652 differs from the 74HC245 by providing inverting outputs in both directions, whereas the 74HC245 is non-inverting. Both share identical pinout, DIR/OE control, and 3-state behavior, but the 74HC640N,652's inversion is hardwired - critical for applications requiring complementary signal pairs or built-in logic negation without adding discrete inverters.
Is the 74HC640N,652 pin-compatible with older TTL versions like 74LS640?
Yes - the 74HC640N,652 is pin-compatible with 74LS640 and 74ALS640, as stated in the general description and confirmed by identical pin numbering and function mapping (DIR, OE, A0–A7, B0–B7, GND, VCC). This allows direct replacement in existing TTL-based designs, provided supply voltage and timing margins are re-verified for the CMOS version's lower power and faster switching.
