Product details
Overview
74LVC646ADB,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an octal non-inverting bus transceiver with dual 8-bit D-type registers, 3-state outputs, and independent A↔B direction control. 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. Used in bidirectional data buffering between mixed-voltage buses (e.g., 3.3 V microcontroller ↔ 5 V peripheral).
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC646ADB,118 datasheet, 74LVC646ADB,118 pinout, 74LVC646ADB,118 application, or 74LVC646ADB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-register storage capability, real-time vs. registered multiplexing via SAB/SBA, 3.6 V max supply, 5.5 V tolerant outputs, and SSOP24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVC646ADB,118 integrates two independent 8-bit D-type flip-flop banks (A and B registers) clocked by edge-triggered CPAB and CPBA inputs. Its DIR input selects data flow direction during active OE (LOW), while OE=HIGH enables isolation mode with register retention. SAB and SBA inputs select between real-time (transparent) and stored data for output multiplexing.
It supports partial power-down: when VCC = 0 V, all I/Os enter high-impedance state with IOFF ≤ ±20 µA at 5.5 V. Input thresholds comply with JEDEC JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), ensuring interoperability across LVC voltage bands.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CPAB | A-to-B clock input | Edge-triggered (LOW→HIGH); latches A-bus data into B register. |
| 2 SAB | A-to-B select source | When LOW: outputs real-time A data; when HIGH: outputs stored A data on B bus. |
| 3 DIR | Direction control | LOW = B→A data flow; HIGH = A→B data flow (active when OE = LOW). |
| 4–11 A0–A7 | A-bus I/O | Bi-directional data lines for A-side interface; input function always enabled. |
| 12 GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and I/Os. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 8-bit D-type registers | Enables independent storage of A- and B-bus data for synchronized handshaking or pipeline staging. |
| Separate A↔B clock and select controls | Allows asynchronous capture and multiplexed output of real-time or registered data per bus direction. |
| 5 V-tolerant I/O with 3.6 V supply | Eliminates external level translators in mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V FPGA ↔ 5 V sensor bus). |
| Zero-power shutdown support | VCC = 0 V forces all I/Os into high-Z with < ±20 µA leakage - critical for battery-backed isolation. |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage thresholds | Guarantees interoperability across LVC families operating at 1.65–3.6 V supply ranges. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data exchange between a 3.3 V ARM-based controller and legacy 5 V I/O expansion modules over a shared backplane bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal transceiver with register staging acts as voltage-translating buffer and synchronization latch between clock domains. Use Value: Eliminates discrete level shifters and reduces component count; 5.5 V tolerance prevents damage during hot-plug events. | Use Scenario: Isolating and routing sensor data (e.g., door lock status, window position) between 5 V analog front-end ICs and a 3.3 V CAN microcontroller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bus interface with storage registers enables deterministic sampling and glitch-free signal forwarding. Use Value: −40 °C to +125 °C rating ensures reliability in under-dash environments; low ICC (≤40 µA) minimizes standby current draw. |
| Test Equipment Digital I/O Card | Medical Diagnostic Data Acquisition |
Use Scenario: Configurable digital pattern generator/analyzer card requiring programmable bus direction, real-time pass-through, and captured snapshot modes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-register transceiver provides hardware-selectable transparent or registered data paths for stimulus/response timing control. Use Value: Independent SAB/SBA and CPAB/CPBA inputs allow precise setup/hold timing control (tsu/th ≥1.0 ns at 3.3 V) for test signal integrity. | Use Scenario: Interfacing high-resolution ADCs (5 V output) to low-power 1.8 V/3.3 V medical SoCs in portable ultrasound or ECG units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-tolerant bus interface with isolated register storage decouples ADC sampling clock from SoC processing clock. Use Value: 15.0 pF CPD enables accurate power modeling for battery life estimation; 2000 V HBM ESD protects sensitive analog front-ends. |
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 | Single-direction 8-bit transceiver with no internal registers; lacks CPAB/CPBA, SAB/SBA, and DIR-controlled bidirectional latching. | Suitable only for simple level-shifted pass-through; cannot store or multiplex real-time/registered data. | Select when only voltage translation and direction control (no storage) are required; lower pin count and cost. |
| 74LVC16646ADGG | 16-bit version in TSSOP48 package; identical register architecture and 5 V tolerance but double data width and different pinout. | Used where higher channel density is needed (e.g., 16-bit memory buses); not drop-in compatible due to pin count and layout. | Choose for wider data paths; requires PCB redesign but retains same functional behavior and timing specs. |
Compared with SN74LVC8T245RHLR and 74LVC16646ADGG, the 74LVC646ADB,118 uniquely combines octal bidirectional latching, real-time/registered multiplexing, and 5 V-tolerant I/O in a compact SSOP24 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, mixed-voltage systems requiring deterministic data staging.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the 74LVC646ADB,118?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74LVC646ADB,118 is +6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Operating above 3.6 V risks violating the device's specified DC characteristics and may cause unreliable register behavior or increased leakage. Always maintain VCC within 1.2–3.6 V for guaranteed functionality and longevity of the 74LVC646ADB,118.
Can the 74LVC646ADB,118 interface directly with 5 V logic devices?
Yes, the 74LVC646ADB,118 features 5 V-tolerant inputs and outputs - meaning it accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V and can drive outputs up to 5.5 V even when VCC is as low as 1.2 V. This allows direct connection to 5 V TTL/CMOS devices without external level shifters, making the 74LVC646ADB,118 ideal for bridging 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems safely and reliably.
How does the DIR pin affect data flow in the 74LVC646ADB,118?
The DIR pin determines the direction of active data transfer when OE is LOW: DIR = LOW enables B→A transmission (B data appears on A bus), while DIR = HIGH enables A→B transmission (A data appears on B bus). DIR has no effect in isolation mode (OE = HIGH), where both buses remain high-impedance but internal registers retain their stored values - a key behavior of the 74LVC646ADB,118 for system-level hold states.
What is the purpose of the SAB and SBA pins on the 74LVC646ADB,118?
SAB (A-to-B Select Source) and SBA (B-to-A Select Source) control whether the output on each bus reflects real-time (transparent) or registered (latched) data. When SAB = LOW, A-bus data passes through to B bus immediately; when SAB = HIGH, the last-latched A data (via CPAB) is output. Similarly, SBA selects real-time vs. stored B data for A-bus output - enabling flexible multiplexing unique to the 74LVC646ADB,118 architecture.
Does the 74LVC646ADB,118 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the 74LVC646ADB,118 supports true partial power-down: when VCC = 0 V, all I/Os enter a high-impedance state with power-off leakage current (IOFF) ≤ ±20 µA at 5.5 V applied to any pin. This feature prevents back-driving and bus contention in systems with multiple power domains, and is explicitly characterized and guaranteed - a critical capability for the 74LVC646ADB,118 in battery-backed or hot-swap designs.
