Product details
Overview
74LVT640DB,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit inverting octal transceiver with 3-state outputs, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE), operating at 3.3 V nominal supply. It provides bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses (A- and B-side), supports 5 V-tolerant inputs, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and features bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups. It is used in 3.3 V/5 V mixed-voltage system interconnects such as backplane interfaces and memory expansion modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT640DB,112 datasheet, 74LVT640DB,112 pinout, 74LVT640DB,112 application, or 74LVT640DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V operation with 5 V input tolerance, inverting logic behavior, 3-state timing (tPZH/tPLZ < 5.3 ns), bus-hold functionality, and SO20 (SOT163-1) package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
The 74LVT640DB,112 implements a BiCMOS-based inverting transceiver architecture with separate DIR and OE controls. Its direction logic routes A-side inputs to B-side outputs (or vice versa) only when OE is LOW, and inverts each bit during transfer. The IOFF circuit enables partial power-down operation by disabling I/O leakage when VCC = 0 V.
It supports live insertion/extraction due to power-up 3-state behavior and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. Bus-hold circuitry maintains stable logic states on unused A/B pins without external resistors, with IBHL/IBHH currents of ±75–150 μA at 3.0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3 V systems while tolerating rail variation |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 5 V TTL logic without level shifters |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - supports high-fanout loads and robust noise margin in noisy environments |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns @ 3.3 V - enables reliable operation in >100 MHz bus systems |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA min @ 3.0 V - actively retains logic state on floating inputs, eliminating pull-up resistors |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA max @ VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving during hot-swap or power sequencing |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
Pinout & Package
74LVT640DB,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), and pin 20 is VCC. All data pins are bidirectional with bus-hold capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR (Pin 1) | Direction control input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A flow - determines signal path polarity |
| OE (Pin 19) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - essential for bus arbitration |
| A0–A7 (Pins 2–9) | Data I/O (A-side) | Inverting bidirectional ports with bus-hold - retain state when unconnected |
| B0–B7 (Pins 11–18) | Data I/O (B-side) | Inverting bidirectional ports with bus-hold - mirror A-side behavior with polarity inversion |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Supply voltage | 3.3 V nominal rail; powers internal BiCMOS circuitry and output drivers |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all logic and drive currents - critical for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-state output control | Independent OE pin enables deterministic bus release with tPZH/tPLZ < 5.3 ns - avoids bus contention during switching |
| 5 V-tolerant inputs | Accepts VI up to 5.5 V while powered from 3.3 V - eliminates level translators in mixed-voltage designs |
| Bus-hold inputs | Self-biasing circuitry holds unused A/B pins at valid logic levels - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - prevents glitches during power sequencing |
| Live insertion support | IOFF and overvoltage protection allow safe hot-plug into live backplanes - required for modular telecom systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC640ADTR | Non-inverting logic; 1.65–3.6 V supply; lower drive (±24 mA); no bus-hold | Requires external pull-ups; unsuitable where signal inversion is required in data path | Select only if non-inverting behavior and reduced drive meet system timing and fanout needs |
| SN74LVC8T245RHLR | Non-inverting; dual-supply (VCCA/VCCB); 1.65–3.6 V; ±32 mA drive; no bus-hold | Supports asymmetric voltage translation (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V); lacks 5 V tolerance and bus-hold | Prefer for multi-rail translation; avoid where 5 V input tolerance or floating-pin retention is mandatory |
Compared with 74LVT640DB,112, both alternatives lack inverting logic and bus-hold, requiring external components for unused pin management and altering signal polarity - making them unsuitable drop-ins for existing LVT640 designs relying on those features.

FAQ
Is 74LVT640DB,112 pin-compatible with standard SO20 74-series transceivers?
Yes - it uses the SOT163-1 (SO20) package with identical 1.27 mm pitch and 7.5 mm body width as legacy 74-series devices. Pin 1 (DIR), pins 2–9 (A0–A7), pin 10 (GND), pins 11–18 (B0–B7), pin 19 (OE), and pin 20 (VCC) match industry-standard octal transceiver layouts, enabling drop-in replacement in existing SO20 footprints.
Does 74LVT640DB,112 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No - it integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A- and B-side data pins, providing ±75 μA holding current at 3.0 V to maintain valid logic states on floating inputs. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB space while improving reliability in high-noise environments.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by 74LVT640DB,112?
While not a clocked device, its propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns at 3.3 V) support reliable operation in bus systems with data rates up to ~100 MHz, assuming proper trace termination and load capacitance ≤ 50 pF. System-level timing must account for inverting behavior and 3-state transition times (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 5.3 ns).
Can 74LVT640DB,112 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - it supports live insertion/extraction per datasheet specification, enabled by IOFF circuitry (which blocks current when VCC = 0 V) and overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V). These features prevent damage and bus contention during hot-plug events in modular backplane or carrier-card systems.
