Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16657DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting transceiver IC with dual 8-bit sections, integrated parity generators/checkers, and 3-state outputs. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports bidirectional data flow per section (via T/R control), and delivers ±32-mA/±64-mA drive strength. Used in high-speed backplane and bus interface applications requiring error-detecting parity.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16657DL datasheet, SN74ABT16657DL pinout, SN74ABT16657DL application, or SN74ABT16657DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its DL-package 56-pin SSOP footprint, –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, dual-parity-check capability, and flow-through pin architecture for optimized PCB layout.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT16657DL implements two independent octal transceiver sections, each with dedicated transmit/receive (T/R) direction control, output-enable (OE), odd/even parity select (ODD/EVEN), and parity/error signaling (PARITY, ERR). Each section processes eight data bits plus one parity bit, enabling real-time parity generation during transmit and parity validation with error flag assertion during receive.
Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP), distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, and high-drive outputs (–32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL). The flow-through pinout separates A- and B-side signals across opposite package edges to minimize trace crossovers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS logic systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL - Supports heavy capacitive loads and long trace routing without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 ns to 4.5 ns (A↔B) - Enables reliable operation in high-speed synchronous bus environments up to ~200 MHz. |
| Parity Function | Dual independent parity generator/checker per 8-bit section - Provides hardware-level data integrity verification on both transmit and receive paths. |
| Package | 56-pin SSOP (DL) - 300-mil body width, 0.65-mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1. |
| Input Leakage | ±1 µA (control), ±100 µA (I/O) - Minimizes static current draw and avoids unintended logic transitions on unterminated lines. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT16657DL uses a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil wide, with 0.65-mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad not present. Pin numbering follows standard JEDEC top-view convention with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Disables both A and B ports of respective section into high-impedance state; required for bus sharing. |
| 1T/R, 2T/R | Transmit/Receive Direction Control | High = A→B (transmit); Low = B→A (receive); defines real-time data path direction per section. |
| 1ODD/EVEN, 2ODD/EVEN | Parity Mode Select | High = odd parity; Low = even parity - configures parity generator/checker behavior before data transfer. |
| 1PARITY, 2PARITY | Parity Bit I/O | Output during transmit (generated parity); input during receive (expected parity for error checking). |
| 1ERR, 2ERR | Parity Error Flag | Active-low open-drain output asserting mismatch between received data+parity and selected parity sense. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Section A Data I/O | Primary data port for each 8-bit section; connected to local controller or processor bus. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Section B Data I/O | Secondary data port for each 8-bit section; typically connected to shared system bus or backplane. |
| VCC, GND | Power & Ground | Distributed across 8 VCC and 8 GND pins - reduces simultaneous switching noise and improves signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pin architecture | Separates A- and B-side signals on opposite package edges - eliminates layer jumps and minimizes PCB routing congestion. |
| Dual independent parity engines | Each 8-bit section generates or checks parity in hardware - offloads CPU, enables real-time error detection without software overhead. |
| High-noise-immunity BiCMOS design | EPIC-IIB process delivers <1 V output ground bounce at 5 V - maintains signal fidelity in dense, high-speed digital systems. |
| 3-state bus-hold compatible outputs | Outputs enter high-Z when OE is high - allows multiple devices to share a common bus without contention or external bus switches. |
| Distributed power/ground pinning | Eight VCC and eight GND pins interleaved across package - lowers effective power supply impedance and suppresses simultaneous switching noise. |
Applications
| Backplane Data Interface | Industrial Bus Bridge |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT162245DL | No parity generation/checking; only direction-controlled 16-bit transceiving. | Suitable where data integrity is handled at protocol layer (e.g., CRC in firmware), not hardware. | Select when parity is unnecessary and lower gate count or cost is prioritized. |
| SN74LVTH16657DL | Lower voltage (3.3 V), reduced drive (–24 mA/48 mA), higher propagation delay (up to 6.5 ns). | Targets mixed-voltage 3.3-V/5-V systems; not drop-in compatible due to VCC and timing differences. | Choose for 3.3-V domain integration where power efficiency outweighs speed and parity requirements. |
Compared with SN74ABT16657DL, SN74ABT162245DL removes parity logic to reduce area and cost but sacrifices hardware error detection, while SN74LVTH16657DL trades speed and 5-V compatibility for 3.3-V operation and lower static power-neither offers pin-compatible parity functionality.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74ABT16657DL?
The SN74ABT16657DL operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This ensures robust compatibility with standard 5-V TTL logic families and accommodates typical power rail tolerances in industrial systems. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings.
Does SN74ABT16657DL support hot-swap or power sequencing requirements?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up/down, the OE inputs of SN74ABT16657DL must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability, preventing bus contention before system initialization completes.
How does the parity checking function work in SN74ABT16657DL?
In receive mode, SN74ABT16657DL counts high bits on the B-port bus and compares the result against the expected parity (odd or even, set by ODD/EVEN input) and the incoming PARITY bit. If mismatched, the corresponding ERR output asserts low - a hardware-level flag requiring no software polling or computation.
Can SN74ABT16657DL be used in a 3.3-V system?
No - SN74ABT16657DL is designed exclusively for 5-V operation (4.5–5.5 V). Applying 3.3 V violates recommended operating conditions and will result in undefined logic states, excessive propagation delay, or failure to drive outputs correctly. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74LVTH16657DL instead.
What package type and moisture sensitivity level does SN74ABT16657DL use?
SN74ABT16657DL uses a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with DL suffix, 300-mil body width, and 0.65-mm lead pitch. It carries an MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), allowing indefinite storage and standard reflow without baking.
