Product details

Overview

N74F640N,602 from Nexperia is an octal inverting 3-state bus transceiver in a 20-pin plastic DIP package, operating at 5V ±10% over 0°C to +70°C. It provides bidirectional data flow between A and B ports with inverting logic, supports 64mA sink / 15mA source drive on B-port outputs, and features independent T/R direction control and active-low OE enable-used in legacy TTL-level system bus isolation and level-shifting applications.

For engineers reviewing the N74F640N,602 datasheet, N74F640N,602 pinout, N74F640N,602 application, or N74F640N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3-state output drive capability (64mA sink), propagation delay (≤8.0ns max), input loading (70µA), T/R/OE logic compatibility with 74F-family systems, and DIP-20 mechanical fit for through-hole industrial backplanes.

Technical Context

The N74F640N,602 implements dual-directional inverting data transfer via separate A-port (A0–A7) and B-port (B0–B7) terminals, with direction determined by the T/R input and output state controlled by the active-low OE signal. Its 3-state outputs are designed to disconnect fully when disabled, preventing bus contention even during power-down.

It uses standard 74F bipolar TTL process technology, delivering 3.5ns typical propagation delay and 78mA typical supply current at 5V/25°C. Input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V) and output voltage levels (VOH ≥ 2.7V, VOL ≤ 0.55V) comply with F-series TTL interface standards for interoperability with legacy 74F245-based systems.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage4.5V to 5.5V - ensures stable operation across standard 5V rail tolerances in industrial backplane environments
Propagation DelayMax 8.0ns (An↔Bn) - enables reliable timing in high-speed 74F-system bus cycles up to ~125MHz
B-port Output DriveSinks 64mA / sources 15mA - supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads without external buffers
Input Loading70µA per A/B port pin - minimizes bus loading in fan-out-critical legacy designs

3-State Leakage±70µA off-state current - guarantees high-impedance integrity during OE disable, critical for hot-swap bus arbitration

Pinout & Package

Package: 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), SOT146-1 footprint, 300 mil width, through-hole mount.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
T/R (Pin 1)Direction control inputLow = B→A data transfer; High = A→B; determines signal flow path in bidirectional bus architecture
OE (Pin 11)Output enable (active low)Low = outputs enabled; High = all A/B port outputs enter high-impedance state for bus sharing
A0–A7 (Pins 2–9)A-port data I/OInverting inputs/outputs for one bus segment; compatible with standard 74F245 A-side interface
B0–B7 (Pins 12–19)B-port data I/OInverting inputs/outputs for second bus segment; higher drive strength (64mA sink) than A-port
VCC (Pin 20)Positive supply+5V power connection; decoupling required within 1 inch for noise-sensitive bus switching
GND (Pin 10)Ground referenceSignal and power return; must be low-inductance connection to maintain 3-state integrity

Key Features

FeatureDesign Value
Inverting bidirectional logicPreserves signal polarity inversion across both directions-required for compatibility with existing 74F640-based schematics and firmware
High-current B-port outputs64mA sink capability allows direct interface to multiple TTL inputs or LED indicators without added drivers
Low-input-current base design70µA per input reduces loading on upstream drivers, extending fan-out in daisy-chained bus topologies
Power-loss-safe 3-stateOutputs remain high-impedance even if VCC is removed-prevents back-driving and latch-up in partial-power-down systems

FAQ

What is the logic function of the N74F640N,602?

The N74F640N,602 is an octal inverting 3-state bus transceiver. Data transferred from A to B or B to A undergoes logical inversion; for example, a HIGH on A0 appears as LOW on B0 when enabled. This matches the 74F640 functional specification and distinguishes it from the non-inverting 74F245. The N74F640N,602 achieves this using standard 74F bipolar TTL circuitry with confirmed inverting behavior across all eight channels.

Does the N74F640N,602 support hot-swap or power-loss-safe operation?

Yes-the N74F640N,602 3-state outputs remain in high-impedance mode even when VCC is removed, preventing back-driving of powered bus segments. This behavior is explicitly documented in the Philips/Nexperia datasheet under "3-State outputs…designed to prevent output bus loading if the power is removed." The N74F640N,602 thus supports safe insertion/removal in partially powered systems.

What are the absolute maximum ratings for the N74F640N,602?

The N74F640N,602 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of –0.5V to +7.0V, input voltage range of –0.5V to +7.0V, and output short-circuit current limits of –150mA (A-port) and –225mA (B-port). Operating beyond these values risks permanent damage. These ratings are defined in the original Philips datasheet and retained in Nexperia's documentation for the N74F640N,602.

Can the N74F640N,602 replace the 74F245 in an existing design?

No-direct replacement is not possible due to logic inversion: the N74F640N,602 inverts all data, while the 74F245 does not. Swapping them would cause functional failure unless upstream/downstream logic compensates. However, the N74F640N,602 shares identical pinout, package, supply, and drive specs with the 74F245, making it a drop-in replacement only when inversion is intentionally required.

What is the recommended operating temperature range for the N74F640N,602?

The N74F640N,602 is specified for commercial operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, with supply voltage 4.5V to 5.5V. This range is confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the Philips/Nexperia datasheet and applies strictly to the N74F640N,602 variant in DIP-20 (SOT146-1) packaging.
