Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16640DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit inverting bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between parallel buses. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±32-mA high-drive outputs, and supports –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range in a 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) package. Used in backplane and board-level interconnects requiring level-shifted isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16640DGGR datasheet, SN74ABT16640DGGR pinout, SN74ABT16640DGGR application, or SN74ABT16640DGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 8-bit directional control (1DIR/2DIR), independent output-enable (1OE/2OE), flow-through pinout for PCB layout optimization, and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD-17.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit inverting transceiver sections, each with separate direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture enables low power dissipation while sustaining high-speed switching - typical propagation delays are 1.0–3.4 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at 5 V with 50-pF load.
The distributed VCC/GND pin configuration minimizes simultaneous switching noise, and the flow-through architecture aligns A- and B-side I/O pins across opposite edges of the package. Output ground bounce (VOLP) remains below 1 V at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH, +64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and long traces without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–3.4 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - supports >200-MHz bus toggle rates under typical conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and communications equipment. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - ensures robust noise margin against TTL-compatible inputs. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD-17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or hot-insertion events. |
| Package | TSSOP-48 (DGG), 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm - surface-mount footprint optimized for high-density PCBs with thermal θJA = 89°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT16640DGGR uses a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP-DGG) with gull-wing leads, 0.5-mm pitch, and flow-through pin arrangement that separates A- and B-bus signals on opposing sides to simplify routing and reduce crosstalk.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Selects data flow direction per 8-bit section: DIR = L → B-to-A; DIR = H → A-to-B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable input (active-low) | Drives outputs to high-impedance state when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Section 1 & 2 A-side data I/O | Inverting inputs/outputs connected to local bus; driven by or drive A-bus signals. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Section 1 & 2 B-side data I/O | Inverting inputs/outputs connected to remote bus; driven by or drive B-bus signals. |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 28, 39) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and switching noise across high-speed operation. |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 38, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and improve signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting transceiver logic | Ensures signal polarity consistency across bus segments without external inversion logic. |
| Flow-through pinout architecture | Enables straight-layer PCB routing with minimal layer transitions and reduced trace length asymmetry. |
| Dual independent 8-bit sections | Allows flexible partitioning: one section for address/data separation, another for control/status lines. |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | –32 mA / +64 mA drive strength sustains signal integrity across 15-cm FR-4 traces with 10-pF load per node. |
| Distributed power/ground network | Four VCC and eight GND pins suppress simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise in multi-bit applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16646DGGR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), non-inverting logic | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3-V systems; requires external inverters if polarity matching needed | Choose for lower power and newer 3.3-V designs where polarity inversion is handled elsewhere. |
| SN74ABT16245DGGR | Non-inverting 16-bit transceiver, identical voltage range, drive, and package | Used where signal polarity must be preserved end-to-end without additional logic | Direct functional substitute when inverting behavior is not required; same pinout but different logic function. |
Compared with SN74ABT16640DGGR, SN74LVC16646DGGR offers lower voltage operation and reduced static power but lacks 5-V tolerance and inverting functionality; SN74ABT16245DGGR matches all electrical specs and packaging but provides non-inverting data path - critical for systems requiring transparent signal polarity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by SN74ABT16640DGGR?
SN74ABT16640DGGR does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its typical propagation delay of 1.0–3.4 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at 5 V and 50-pF load supports reliable operation up to approximately 200 MHz for toggling bus signals. Actual usable frequency depends on trace length, loading, and system timing margins - verified in application circuits with CL ≤ 50 pF.
Does SN74ABT16640DGGR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, OE pins (1OE and 2OE) must be tied to VCC through external pull-up resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends evaluating based on system reset timing and driver strength, typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard logic drivers.
Can SN74ABT16640DGGR operate at 3.3 V?
No - SN74ABT16640DGGR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Applying 3.3 V violates recommended operating conditions and results in undefined logic thresholds, degraded noise margin, and unreliable 3-state control. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74LVC16646DGGR or similar LVC-family transceivers.
How many ground pins does SN74ABT16640DGGR have, and why are they distributed?
SN74ABT16640DGGR has eight dedicated GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 38, 45) distributed across the package. This layout minimizes ground loop inductance and reduces simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise - a key design feature of TI's EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process that maintains signal integrity during high-speed 16-bit bus toggling.
Is SN74ABT16640DGGR pin-compatible with SN74ABT16245DGGR?
No - although both are 48-pin TSSOP bus transceivers with identical supply and drive specifications, SN74ABT16640DGGR is inverting while SN74ABT16245DGGR is non-inverting, and their pin mappings differ: DIR/OE functions and A/B I/O assignments are not interchangeable. PCB redesign is required for substitution.
