Overview
74LVC646ADB,112 from NXP Semiconductors is an octal non-inverting bus transceiver with dual 8-bit D-type registers, 3-state outputs, and bidirectional data flow control via DIR and OE inputs. It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, supports 5 V-tolerant I/O (up to 5.5 V), and functions across −40 °C to +125 °C - enabling robust level translation in mixed-voltage industrial backplanes and FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC646ADB,112 datasheet, 74LVC646ADB,112 pinout, 74LVC646ADB,112 application, or 74LVC646ADB,112 equivalent, this device delivers real-time and registered data multiplexing between A/B buses with independent clocking (CPAB/CPBA), select-source control (SAB/SBA), and isolation-mode register retention - critical for deterministic timing in high-reliability embedded control and test equipment interfaces.
Technical Context
The 74LVC646ADB,112 implements two independent 8-bit D-type flip-flop banks (A→B and B→A) with edge-triggered clocks (CPAB and CPBA), allowing concurrent storage of data from either bus. Its DIR input selects directionality during active output (OE = LOW), while SAB/SBA enable multiplexing between transparent and stored data paths per channel.
It features true 5 V-tolerant I/O (VI up to 5.5 V) with 1.2 V–3.6 V VCC operation, JEDEC-compliant voltage standards (JESD8-7A/5A/C), and ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM - supporting interoperability between legacy 5 V logic and modern low-voltage SoCs without external level shifters.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
74LVC646ADB,112 uses a plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP24) with 24 leads and 5.3 mm body width (SOT340-1). Pin pitch is 0.65 mm, and the package is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CPAB | A-to-B clock input | Edge-triggered (LOW→HIGH) latch enable for A-bus data into B-register; controls real-time or stored transfer to B bus |
| 2 SAB | A-to-B select source | Selects between real-time A data (SAB = L) or stored A data (SAB = H) when DIR = H and OE = L |
| 3 DIR | Direction control | When OE = L: DIR = H routes A→B; DIR = L routes B→A. Determines active data path during output enable |
| 4–11 A0–A7 | A-bus I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines for A-side interface; remain functional as inputs even when outputs are disabled (3-state) |
| 12 GND | Ground reference | 0 V return for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity in mixed-signal environments |
| 13–20 B0–B7 | B-bus I/O terminals | Bidirectional data lines for B-side interface; support simultaneous storage and real-time access in isolation mode |
| 21 OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Disables all outputs (3-state) when HIGH; enables bidirectional data flow when LOW - critical for bus arbitration |
| 22 SBA | B-to-A select source | Selects between real-time B data (SBA = L) or stored B data (SBA = H) when DIR = L and OE = L |
| 23 CPBA | B-to-A clock input | Edge-triggered (LOW→HIGH) latch enable for B-bus data into A-register; independent of CPAB for asynchronous capture |
| 24 VCC | Supply voltage | Core logic and I/O supply (1.2–3.6 V); powers internal registers, control logic, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clocking (CPAB/CPBA) | Enables asynchronous capture of A and B bus data into separate registers - essential for time-stamped diagnostics and FIFO-like buffering |
| Back-to-back register architecture | Allows simultaneous storage of A→B and B→A data, enabling ping-pong data exchange without external memory |
| 5 V-tolerant I/O at 1.2 V–3.6 V VCC | Eliminates need for discrete level translators in mixed-voltage systems - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Partial power-down support (VCC = 0 V) | Inputs/outputs enter high-impedance state with zero supply current - prevents backfeeding and enables hot-swap capability |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage standards | Guarantees interoperability across JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V) logic families |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | FPGA-to-Microcontroller Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver/register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC8T245RHLR | 8-bit dual-supply translator (VCCA/VCCB); no internal registers or CPAB/CPBA clocks | Lacks storage capability and multiplexed real-time/stored data selection - suitable only for simple level translation | Choose when only voltage translation is needed and register functionality is unnecessary |
| 74ALVC164245DGGR | 16-bit version with 4.5 V max VCC; higher drive strength (24 mA) but no SAB/SBA select logic | Supports wider bus widths but lacks per-channel multiplexing and fails JEDEC JESD8-7A compliance below 2.3 V | Prefer for 16-bit parallel links requiring higher current drive, not for registered multiplexing |
Compared with SN74LVC8T245RHLR and 74ALVC164245DGGR, the 74LVC646ADB,112 uniquely integrates dual-clock latching, select-source multiplexing, and full 5 V tolerance within a single 24-pin SSOP - making it irreplaceable for applications demanding deterministic data staging and mixed-voltage bus arbitration.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LVC646ADB,112 at 3.3 V?
The 74LVC646ADB,112 supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in Table 7 of the datasheet. This applies to both CPAB and CPBA inputs under recommended operating conditions (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), enabling reliable high-speed data capture in real-time control loops and test instrumentation.
Does the 74LVC646ADB,112 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the 74LVC646ADB,112 supports partial power-down: when VCC = 0 V, all inputs and outputs enter a high-impedance state with IOFF ≤ ±20 µA (Table 6), preventing backfeeding and enabling hot-swap capability in modular systems - a key feature confirmed in Section 2 and Table 6 of the datasheet.
Can the 74LVC646ADB,112 interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?
Yes, the 74LVC646ADB,112 features 5 V-tolerant inputs and outputs (VI/VO up to 5.5 V), allowing direct connection to 5 V TTL devices while operating from a 1.2 V–3.6 V supply - verified in Sections 2 and 7, and explicitly stated in the "5 V tolerant inputs/outputs" feature bullet.
What is the purpose of the SAB and SBA pins on the 74LVC646ADB,112?
The SAB (pin 2) and SBA (pin 22) pins control multiplexing between real-time and stored data: SAB selects A-bus source (real-time if L, stored if H) during A→B transfer; SBA selects B-bus source (real-time if L, stored if H) during B→A transfer - defined in Table 2 (Pin Description) and Table 11 (Storage Transfer).
Is the 74LVC646ADB,112 pin-compatible with other packages in the 74LVC646A family?
No - the 74LVC646ADB,112 uses SSOP24 (SOT340-1), while 74LVC646AD uses SO24 (SOT137-1) and 74LVC646APW uses TSSOP24 (SOT355-1). Though functionally identical, these packages differ in body width (5.3 mm vs. 7.5 mm vs. 4.4 mm), lead pitch (0.65 mm for all), and thermal characteristics - requiring separate PCB footprints.
