Product details
Overview
CD74HCT640E from Texas Instruments is an inverting octal three-state bus transceiver designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between parallel buses in industrial and military-grade systems. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -55°C to +125°C temperature range, delivers 6 mA output drive at VOH = 3.98 V (min), and features buffered inputs with TTL-compatible logic thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V max, VIH = 2 V min).
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT640E datasheet, CD74HCT640E pinout, CD74HCT640E application, or CD74HCT640E equivalent, this page provides verified functional modes, switching characteristics (tpd = 22 ns max A→B at 4.5 V), thermal metrics (RθJA = 69°C/W), and real-world bus interface design guidance - all confirmed against TI's SCHS192C production data sheet.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT640E implements dual-directional inverting data flow controlled by DIR input and three-state output enable via OE (active-low). Its CMOS silicon-gate architecture ensures LSTTL input compatibility while maintaining low ICC (≤160 µA over full temperature range) and high noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5 V).
Propagation delay is symmetric for A→B and B→A paths (22 ns max at 4.5 V, -40°C to +85°C), with matched transition times (tt = 15 ns max) and tightly controlled output capacitance (CO = 20 pF). The device drives up to 15 LSTTL loads and supports bus hold via external termination per TI's functional mode guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures direct drop-in replacement for 5 V LSTTL systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient to drive 15 LSTTL loads on shared bus lines. |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns max (A→B, 4.5 V, -40°C to +85°C) - enables stable operation in high-speed bus arbitration timing windows. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10 µA max (VO = VCC/GND, -55°C to +125°C) - minimizes bus contention current during high-impedance state. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | Cpd = 41 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = VCC² × fi × (Cpd + CL). |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT640E is housed in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 25.40 mm × 6.35 mm body size and through-hole mounting compatibility. Pin spacing is 2.54 mm, and lead finish is NiPdAu (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A-side inputs (A1–A8) | Inverted data inputs routed to B outputs when DIR = L and OE = L. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O terminals. |
| 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B-side outputs (B1–B8) | Inverted outputs driven from A inputs (DIR = L) or from B inputs (DIR = H); high-Z when OE = H. |
| 12 | OE | Active-low output enable - controls three-state behavior of all eight B outputs. |
| 19 | DIR | Data direction control - L enables A→B flow; H enables B→A flow (inverting). |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V) powering internal logic and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL input compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-logic systems. |
| Symmetric propagation delay | tpd(A→B) = tpd(B→A) ≤ 22 ns - ensures deterministic timing in bidirectional bus arbitration protocols. |
| High-noise immunity | NIL = NIH = 30% of VCC at 5 V - suppresses false triggering from EMI or crosstalk in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160 µA over -55°C to +125°C - reduces standby power in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems. |
| Three-state output control | Single OE pin disables all eight B outputs simultaneously - simplifies bus contention management in multi-master architectures. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus | Military Data Link Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245N | Non-inverting topology; identical VCC, temperature, and drive specs; 8-bit unidirectional (A→B only) unless paired. | Requires external inversion logic or dual-device configuration for true bidirectional inverting operation. | Select when system-level inversion is handled upstream or when unidirectional throughput dominates design requirements. |
| CD74HC640E | Same pinout and function but HC variant: 2–6 V operation, higher VIH/VIL thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min @ 4.5 V), no TTL input compatibility. | Not suitable for direct LSTTL interfacing; requires clean 5 V supply and CMOS-level drivers. | Choose for lower-power, wider-supply applications where TTL compatibility is unnecessary and voltage flexibility is critical. |
Compared with SN74HCT245N and CD74HC640E, CD74HCT640E uniquely combines true bidirectional inverting operation, guaranteed LSTTL input compatibility, and military-grade temperature range in a single PDIP package - making it irreplaceable for legacy bus upgrades and harsh-environment data path isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of CD74HCT640E under industrial temperature conditions?
The CD74HCT640E exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 28 ns for A→B or B→A paths when operated at 4.5 V over the -40°C to +85°C range, as specified in Section 5.5 of TI's SCHS192C datasheet. This value includes process, voltage, and temperature variation margins and is measured with CL = 50 pF and input rise/fall time ≤ 500 ns.
Does CD74HCT640E support true bidirectional data flow without external logic?
Yes, CD74HCT640E supports true bidirectional inverting data flow using its dedicated DIR pin: when DIR = L, data flows A→B (inverted); when DIR = H, data flows B→A (inverted). OE independently places all B outputs in high-impedance state. No external inverters or direction-control logic are required for basic operation.
Can CD74HCT640E be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No - CD74HCT640E requires 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its VIH minimum is 2.0 V, but input thresholds are optimized for 5 V LSTTL compatibility. For 3.3 V systems, use CD74HC640E (2–6 V) with appropriate level translation or select a 3.3 V–compatible transceiver such as SN74LVC245A.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for CD74HCT640E?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 20) and GND (Pin 9) of CD74HCT640E. For enhanced noise suppression, a parallel 1 µF capacitor may be added - both must be low-ESR types and mounted within 5 mm of the IC leads per Section 8 of the datasheet.
Is CD74HCT640E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, CD74HCT640E is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM (July 2022 revision). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-1 rating and is suitable for standard reflow profiles without special handling requirements.
