Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16657 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting transceiver IC with dual parity generator/checker circuits, 3-state outputs, and high-drive capability (–32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL) for bidirectional data bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes and memory expansion systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16657 datasheet, SN74ABT16657 pinout, SN74ABT16657 application, or SN74ABT16657 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56-pin TSSOP (DGG) package, ±100 µA input leakage at 5.5 V, 1.5–4.3 ns propagation delay (A→B), and support for odd/even parity validation in real-time data integrity monitoring.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT16657 integrates two independent octal transceiver sections-each with dedicated transmit/receive direction control (1T/R, 2T/R), output-enable (1OE, 2OE), and parity configuration (1ODD/EVEN, 2ODD/EVEN). Data flow direction is determined per section by the T/R input level, while OE forces both A and B ports into high-impedance state when high.
Each section implements hardware parity generation during transmit mode (setting 1PARITY/2PARITY to maintain selected odd/even sense across eight data bits plus parity) and parity checking during receive mode (asserting 1ERR/2ERR low on mismatch). The device uses EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process for reduced power dissipation and distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress high-speed switching noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL logic rails and tolerant of typical board-level supply ripple. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments without derating. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and supports stubbed bus topologies without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 ns (min) to 4.3 ns (max) A→B - enables reliable timing closure in 100-MHz-class synchronous bus designs. |
| Input Leakage | ±100 µA at VCC = 5.5 V - ensures stable logic levels with minimal current draw on control inputs during static operation. |
| Parity Function | Configurable odd/even per section via ODD/EVEN pin - provides hardware-accelerated error detection without CPU overhead in safety-critical data paths. |
| ESD Rating | Exceeds 500 mA latch-up immunity per JESD-17 - withstands transient currents induced by board handling or system-level ESD events. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT16657 is housed in a 56-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, DGG), 300-mil body width, 0.5-mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant with CU NIPDAU finish and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls high-impedance state for corresponding A/B port pairs; tied to VCC via pullup for safe power-up behavior. |
| 1T/R, 2T/R | Transmit/Receive Direction | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - enables bidirectional bus arbitration without external logic. |
| 1ODD/EVEN, 2ODD/EVEN | Parity Mode Select | Low = even parity; High = odd parity - configures parity generator/checker per section independently. |
| 1PARITY, 2PARITY | Parity Bit I/O | Output in transmit mode; input in receive mode - carries ninth bit for parity validation across eight data lines. |
| 1ERR, 2ERR | Parity Error Flag | Active-low open-drain output - asserts when received data violates configured parity sense, usable as interrupt source. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A Data I/O | Octal data interface for first/second transceiver section - connects to local controller or processor data bus. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B Data I/O | Octal data interface for first/second transceiver section - connects to remote peripheral or memory subsystem. |
| VCC, GND | Power Distribution | Distributed across 10 pins (5 VCC, 5 GND) - minimizes simultaneous switching noise and improves signal integrity on high-speed buses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent transceiver sections | Enables concurrent bidirectional communication on two separate 8-bit buses - reduces component count versus discrete octal solutions. |
| Hardware parity generation/checking | Offloads parity computation from host MCU - eliminates software latency and guarantees deterministic error detection timing. |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Minimizes PCB trace length and layer transitions - simplifies layout for high-density backplane interfaces and reduces crosstalk risk. |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | Supports fan-out to ≥10 LSTTL loads - maintains signal integrity across long traces or multi-drop bus configurations. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces dynamic power vs. standard bipolar TTL - lowers thermal load in densely packed industrial modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit transceiver with parity applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT162245DGGR | No parity generation/checking; 16-bit noninverting transceiver only; identical 56-pin TSSOP package and drive strength. | Suitable where data integrity is handled at protocol layer (e.g., CRC in firmware); lacks hardware parity flag outputs. | Select when parity is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over error-detection capability. |
| SN74LVC16T245DGGR | 3.3-V only operation; lower drive (–24 mA / 24 mA); no parity logic; supports voltage translation between 1.8/2.5/3.3-V domains. | Used in modern low-voltage systems; requires external parity logic if needed; incompatible with 5-V legacy buses. | Choose for new 3.3-V designs requiring level shifting; not drop-in replaceable for 5-V SN74ABT16657 applications. |
Compared with SN74ABT16657, SN74ABT162245DGGR removes parity functionality but retains identical pinout and drive - ideal for cost-sensitive 5-V systems without hardware error checking. SN74LVC16T245DGGR shifts to 3.3-V operation and adds voltage translation, sacrificing parity and 5-V compatibility for lower power and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74ABT16657?
The SN74ABT16657 is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation controllers, outdoor telecom cabinets, and power distribution units where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. The SN74ABT16657 does not support extended military-range operation like the SN54ABT16657 variant.
How does the SN74ABT16657 implement parity checking during data reception?
During receive mode (T/R low), the SN74ABT16657 counts high bits on the B-port bus, compares the result against the configured parity sense (odd/even set by ODD/EVEN), and asserts the ERR output low if mismatched. For example, with odd parity selected and three high bits on B1–B8 plus a high PARITY input, ERR remains high; if PARITY is low, ERR goes low indicating error. This hardware validation occurs within 2–7 ns, independent of host processor intervention.
Can the SN74ABT16657 be used in a 3.3-V system?
No, the SN74ABT16657 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation and is not 3.3-V compatible. Attempting to operate it at 3.3 V results in undefined logic thresholds, degraded noise margins, and potential failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3-V applications requiring similar functionality, consider the SN74LVC16T245DGGR - though it lacks parity logic and requires redesign for voltage domain compatibility.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the SN74ABT16657 DGG package?
The SN74ABT16657 DGG package includes two NC (No internal connection) pins - pin 2 and pin 55 - which are physically present but unconnected to any internal circuitry. These pins serve mechanical stabilization and package symmetry purposes during PCB assembly and reflow. They must remain unconnected in the schematic and layout; routing traces or applying voltage to NC pins may cause unintended coupling or violate JEDEC packaging standards.
Does the SN74ABT16657 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The SN74ABT16657 does not include explicit hot-swap protection features such as slew-rate control or backdrive tolerance. However, its high latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JESD-17) and robust 3-state output structure allow controlled live insertion when OE is held high (disabling outputs) prior to connection and sequenced power-up is enforced. TI recommends using series resistors and RC filters on control lines for full hot-swap compliance - the SN74ABT16657 itself provides foundational resilience but requires system-level design for guaranteed safe hot insertion.
