Product details
Overview
CD74ACT623M96 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data transmission in TTL-compatible digital systems. It operates across −55°C to +125°C, features 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 4.5V–5.5V supply range, and supports high-speed 11.5 ns propagation delay at VCC = 5V. It is used in industrial control backplanes and legacy microprocessor data buses.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT623M96 datasheet, CD74ACT623M96 pinout, CD74ACT623M96 application, or CD74ACT623M96 equivalent, key selection factors include its TTL-compatible input thresholds, symmetric 3-state enable timing, rail-to-rail output swing, and extended temperature qualification for harsh-environment embedded systems.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT623M96 implements dual 4-bit bidirectional transceivers with independent transmit/receive direction control via two active-low OE inputs (1OE, 2OE). Each transceiver section uses complementary output drivers to ensure low-impedance drive in both directions and high-impedance isolation when disabled.
It belongs to the ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) logic family, delivering TTL-level input sensitivity while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Its propagation delay (tPD) is specified at 11.5 ns max (VCC = 5V, CL = 50 pF), and output drive capability is ±24 mA at VCC = 5V, supporting direct interface with standard TTL loads.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1OE) | Active-low Output Enable - Section 1 | Enables bidirectional data flow on pins 2–5 (A-side) and 11–14 (B-side); low = active, high = high-Z |
| 2–5 (1A1–1A4) | Section 1 A-side I/O | Bidirectional data terminals; direction determined by relative voltage levels on A/B sides when 1OE = low |
| 6 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal and power return path; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity |
| 7–10 (1B1–1B4) | Section 1 B-side I/O | Paired with pins 2–5; forms full 4-bit bidirectional channel under 1OE control |
| 11–14 (2A1–2A4) | Section 2 A-side I/O | Independent second 4-bit bidirectional channel controlled by pin 19 (2OE) |
| 15 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 5V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin |
| 16–19 (2B1–2B4) | Section 2 B-side I/O | Paired with pins 11–14; completes second isolated 4-bit transceiver path |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT245N | Single 8-bit transceiver (vs. dual 4-bit); identical ACT family specs, same SOIC-20 package | Requires external direction control logic (DIR pin) instead of dual OE; less flexible for split-channel routing | Select when system needs unified 8-bit path and DIR signal is available; not suitable for independent 4-bit channel control |
| CD74AC623M | AC-family version: lower drive (±24 mA still valid), but slower tPD = 13.5 ns max; same pinout and temperature range | Marginally reduced timing headroom in high-frequency backplane designs; otherwise drop-in for cost-sensitive non-military use | Select for commercial-temp-only applications where 2 ns timing margin is acceptable and AC-family cost premium is justified |
Compared with SN74ACT245N and CD74AC623M, CD74ACT623M96 provides unique dual independent 4-bit channel control with matched timing and extended temperature support - critical for modular industrial and defense subsystems requiring fault-isolated data lanes.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for CD74ACT623M96?
The CD74ACT623M96 operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This range ensures robust compatibility with standard 5V TTL logic families and accommodates typical power supply tolerances in industrial and automotive systems. Operation outside this range may result in undefined logic states or degraded output drive strength. The CD74ACT623M96 is not rated for 3.3V operation.
Does CD74ACT623M96 support hot insertion?
No, CD74ACT623M96 does not include hot-insertion protection circuitry such as power-up 3-state or bus-fault tolerance. Its inputs are not clamped beyond VCC + 0.5 V or GND − 0.5 V, and outputs lack current-limiting during live insertion. System-level protection (e.g., series resistors, TVS diodes) is required if used in hot-swap backplanes. The CD74ACT623M96 datasheet specifies no hot-plug qualification.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74ACT623M96 in a data bus application?
The CD74ACT623M96 does not operate on a clock signal - it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (11.5 ns max) and system timing margins. In practice, it reliably supports bidirectional data transfers up to approximately 60 MHz in well-terminated 50 pF load conditions. The CD74ACT623M96 is not a clocked device and has no specified maximum clock frequency.
Is CD74ACT623M96 pin-compatible with CD74AC623M?
Yes, CD74ACT623M96 and CD74AC623M share identical SOIC-20 (DW) pinouts, terminal functions, and mechanical dimensions. Both use the same 1.27 mm pitch and quadrant-1 pin 1 orientation. However, CD74ACT623M96 offers faster propagation delay (11.5 ns vs. 13.5 ns) and higher drive strength under identical conditions, making it a performance upgrade within the same footprint.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for CD74ACT623M96?
The CD74ACT623M96 carries an MSL Level-1 rating per JEDEC J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow. This applies to its SOIC (DW) packaging with NIPDAU lead finish. The CD74ACT623M96 is shipped in large tape-and-reel format (2000 pcs/reel) with humidity barrier packaging per TI specification.
