Product details
Overview
74LVT640D,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit inverting octal transceiver with 3-state outputs, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, supports 5 V-tolerant inputs, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA drive, and features bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups. It enables bidirectional data flow between 3.3 V logic domains and legacy 5 V buses in memory expansion and backplane interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT640D,112 datasheet, 74LVT640D,112 pinout, 74LVT640D,112 application, or 74LVT640D,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting logic behavior, DIR/OE dual-control architecture, 3.3 V supply compatibility with 5 V I/O tolerance, bus-hold functionality, and SO20 package thermal and routing constraints.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-bus bidirectional interface using complementary BiCMOS circuitry for high-speed switching and robust output drive. Its functional truth table defines three operational states: DIR = LOW enables B→A data transfer; DIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer; OE = HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance OFF-state regardless of DIR state.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last-valid logic state on unused A/B pins without external resistors, reducing board space and power overhead. The IOFF partial power-down feature disables output leakage when VCC = 0 V, supporting live insertion/extraction in hot-swap systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 3.3 V rails with ±0.3 V margin |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5 V CMOS/TTL buses without level-shifting |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - supports driving heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–3.7 ns (VCC = 3.3 V) - enables sub-250 MHz bus timing in high-speed parallel interfaces |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA to ±150 μA - reliably sustains logic state on floating inputs without external biasing |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-powering and signal corruption during power sequencing |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
74LVT640D,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20, SOT163-1) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 is DIR, pin 10 is GND, pin 19 is OE (active LOW), pin 20 is VCC, and data terminals are arranged as A0–A7 (pins 2–9) and B0–B7 (pins 11–18) with mirrored physical layout for PCB routing symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; asynchronous control with no internal synchronization |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable (active LOW) | When HIGH, forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state; overrides DIR and isolates both buses |
| A0–A7 (Pins 2–9) | Data I/O port A | Octal inverting bidirectional bus port with bus-hold; connects to local 3.3 V domain |
| B0–B7 (Pins 11–18) | Data I/O port B | Octal inverting bidirectional bus port with bus-hold; connects to external 5 V bus or peripheral |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 3.3 V nominal supply; must be decoupled locally with ≤100 nF ceramic capacitor |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB plane connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting transceiver logic | Each A/B pair performs bitwise inversion during data transfer, enabling direct integration with complementary bus architectures |
| 5 V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V input signals while powered from 3.3 V, eliminating need for external level translators |
| Bus-hold inputs | Actively retains last valid logic state on unconnected A/B pins, preventing floating-node noise and EMI susceptibility |
| IOFF partial power-down | Disables output leakage paths when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe hot-plug operation without damaging downstream circuitry |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed functionality during power-up/power-down sequences, meeting JEDEC JESD8C requirements for system maintenance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Non-inverting logic; lower drive (±24 mA); no bus-hold; 1.65–3.6 V supply | Requires external pull-ups for unused pins; unsuitable for hot-swap due to missing IOFF | Select only if non-inverting logic matches system protocol and 5 V tolerance is not required |
| 74ALVC164245DGGR | 16-bit, non-inverting, 3.3 V–5 V dual-supply; higher pin count; no bus-hold | Designed for wide-bus applications; lacks single-supply 5 V tolerance and bus-hold stabilization | Choose for 16-bit parallel paths where direction control and dual-rail operation are mandatory |

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the 74LVT640D,112?
The DIR (direction) pin controls data flow direction: when DIR = LOW, data transfers from port B to port A; when DIR = HIGH, data flows from port A to port B. This asynchronous control operates independently of OE and determines which port acts as input versus output, enabling flexible bidirectional bus arbitration in real-time systems.
Does the 74LVT640D,112 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No. The device integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A and B data pins, providing ±75 μA to ±150 μA active current to retain the last-valid logic state. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential signal integrity issues caused by resistor parasitics.
Can the 74LVT640D,112 safely interface with a 5 V microcontroller's data bus?
Yes. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (2.7–3.6 V), allowing direct connection to 5 V CMOS/TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. However, outputs swing between 0 V and VCC (~3.3 V), so receiving 5 V devices must accept 3.3 V logic-high levels-verified compatible with standard 5 V TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V).
Is the 74LVT640D,112 suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes. It supports live insertion/extraction per JEDEC JESD8C, featuring IOFF circuitry that disables output leakage when VCC = 0 V and bus-hold to prevent floating inputs during power transitions. These features, combined with latch-up immunity >500 mA, ensure safe operation during board replacement in powered-backplane systems.
