Product details
Overview
CD74AC623M96G4 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data transmission in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features ±24mA output drive, 7.5ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 5V, and operates across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It is used in microprocessor address/data bus isolation and memory interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the CD74AC623M96G4 datasheet, CD74AC623M96G4 pinout, CD74AC623M96G4 application, or CD74AC623M96G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state control logic (OE\ active-low), symmetric high/low output drive strength, SOIC-20 package compatibility with IPC-7351 land patterns, and AC-series voltage-level tolerance (2V–6V).
Technical Context
The CD74AC623M96G4 implements dual 4-bit non-inverting transceivers with independent transmit/receive direction control via two active-low Output Enable (OE\) inputs. Each 4-bit section has separate Direction (DIR) inputs that determine data flow direction-high enables A-to-B transmission, low enables B-to-A.
It uses advanced CMOS (AC) technology to achieve TTL-compatible input thresholds while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Input hysteresis ensures noise immunity on control lines, and bus-hold circuitry is not integrated-external pull-ups/downs are required for unused inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced CMOS (AC), compatible with TTL input levels and CMOS output swing |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-backed operation |
| Propagation Delay | 7.5ns max (VCC = 5V, CL = 50pF) - enables reliable timing in 20MHz+ synchronous bus designs |
| Output Drive | ±24mA (IOH/IO L) - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or terminate short PCB traces without external buffers |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications |
| Input Threshold | VIL = 0.3×VCC, VIH = 0.7×VCC - ensures robust noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk |
Pinout & Package
CD74AC623M96G4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5mm wide, 12.83mm long, 2.65mm max height, RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-side I/O ports (A1–A8) | Bidirectional data terminals connected to local subsystem (e.g., microcontroller port) |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B-side I/O ports (B1–B8) | Bidirectional data terminals connected to shared bus (e.g., memory or peripheral bus) |
| 9, 19 | OE\ (Output Enable) | Active-low enables/disables both A- and B-side outputs simultaneously; high-Z state isolates buses |
| 10, 20 | DIR (Direction Control) | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - allows full-duplex bus arbitration per section |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply pin - must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for all I/O and internal logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 4-bit bidirectional transceivers | Enables independent control of two 4-bit data paths - reduces need for discrete logic in multi-bus architectures |
| 3-state outputs with common OE\ | Single pin disables all 16 I/Os into high-impedance - simplifies bus arbitration and prevents contention during reset |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Accepts standard 5V TTL logic levels while operating from 2–6V supply - eases migration from legacy TTL systems |
| ±24mA output drive capability | Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100pF trace + multiple inputs) without signal degradation or timing skew |
| Industrial temperature range support | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C - suitable for factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor electronics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6V); 24mA drive; no DIR/OE\ separation - single OE controls all 8 bits | Optimized for 3.3V-only systems; lacks independent direction control per 4-bit group | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3V and simplified control logic is acceptable |
| CD74ACT245E | Same AC logic family; PDIP-20 package; identical pinout but no M96 tape-and-reel variant | Requires through-hole assembly; lacks SOIC-20 tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT lines | Select for prototyping or legacy through-hole production where reel-fed placement is not required |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and CD74ACT245E, the CD74AC623M96G4 uniquely supports dual independent 4-bit sections with separate DIR control and industrial temperature range in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-20 tape-and-reel format - making it optimal for automated SMT deployment in ruggedized embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74AC623M96G4?
The CD74AC623M96G4 is not a clocked device-it has no internal clock and operates asynchronously. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (7.5ns max at 5V) and system setup/hold timing. In practice, it reliably supports bidirectional bus transfers up to 20MHz in well-terminated 5V systems with proper PCB layout and decoupling.
Does CD74AC623M96G4 include bus-hold or weak pull-up circuitry on its inputs?
No, the CD74AC623M96G4 does not integrate bus-hold or weak pull-up circuitry. Unused inputs must be externally terminated to VCC or GND using resistors (typically 10kΩ) to prevent floating states, oscillation, and increased ICC current. This design choice preserves signal integrity and avoids unintended state latching.
Can CD74AC623M96G4 operate at 3.3V supply voltage?
Yes, CD74AC623M96G4 is fully specified for operation from 2V to 6V, including 3.3V. At VCC = 3.3V, VOH ≥ 2.97V and VOL ≤ 0.33V (with IOH/IO L = ±24mA), meeting LVTTL and 3.3V CMOS interface requirements. Propagation delay increases to ~9ns, remaining suitable for most 3.3V embedded interfaces.
What is the meaning of the "M96" suffix in CD74AC623M96G4?
The "M96" suffix in CD74AC623M96G4 indicates a SOIC-20 (DW) package supplied in tape-and-reel format with 2000 units per reel. It distinguishes this version from tube-packaged variants (e.g., CD74AC623M) and confirms RoHS compliance, NIPDAU lead finish, and MSL Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Is CD74AC623M96G4 pin-compatible with CD74ACT623M96?
Yes, CD74AC623M96G4 and CD74ACT623M96 share identical pinout, package (SOIC-20 DW), and functional block diagram. The key difference is logic family: AC uses lower drive current and higher noise immunity, while ACT offers TTL-compatible output drive (±24mA same) but tighter VCC = 4.5–5.5V range. They are functionally interchangeable in most 5V designs, though AC provides wider voltage flexibility.
