Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2952ADW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver and register with 3-state outputs, implementing two independent 8-bit back-to-back registers for bidirectional data flow between A and B buses. It operates at 5 V supply, supports up to 150 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and features noninverting outputs with low ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V). It is used in high-speed system bus isolation and data buffering in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2952ADW datasheet, SN74ABT2952ADW pinout, SN74ABT2952ADW application, or SN74ABT2952ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include 24-pin SOIC (DW) package compatibility, dual-clock-enable control (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), separate OEAB/OEBA 3-state enable logic, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT2952ADW integrates two synchronized 8-bit latch-register stages per direction-A-to-B and B-to-A-with independent clock (CLKAB/CLKBA), clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA), and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) controls. Each register captures data on the low-to-high clock transition when its respective clock-enable is low.
Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns at 5 V, CL = 50 pF), low static current (ICC ≤ 35 mA active, ≤ 250 µA disabled), and robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM, >200 V MM). Output drivers support 3-state high-impedance hold during power sequencing when OE is pulled up to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - Supports high-throughput synchronous bus transfers without setup/hold violation. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 64 mA / IOH = –32 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., multi-drop buses) while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 2 V. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns - Enables sub-7 ns edge-to-edge timing critical for 100+ MHz system clocks. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including programmable logic controllers and test equipment. |
| Package | 24-pin SOIC (DW) - Standard surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and IPC-7351B land patterns. |

Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2952ADW uses a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package (DW), 7.5 mm wide, with 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA = 81°C/W enables reliable operation at full drive under natural convection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | A-bus data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to one system bus; driven by internal register when OEAB low and CLKAB active. |
| B1–B8 | B-bus data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to second system bus; driven by internal register when OEBA low and CLKBA active. |
| CLKAB | A-to-B clock input | Triggers latching of A-bus data into A→B register on rising edge when CLKENAB is low. |
| CLKBA | B-to-A clock input | Triggers latching of B-bus data into B→A register on rising edge when CLKENBA is low. |
| CLKENAB | A-to-B clock enable | Active-low control enabling CLKAB; when high, A→B register holds last captured value regardless of CLKAB edges. |
| CLKENBA | B-to-A clock enable | Active-low control enabling CLKBA; when high, B→A register holds last captured value regardless of CLKBA edges. |
| OEAB | A-to-B output enable | Active-low control enabling A→B port drivers; tied to VCC via pullup for safe high-Z at power-up. |
| OEBA | B-to-A output enable | Active-low control enabling B→A port drivers; tied to VCC via pullup for safe high-Z at power-up. |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V supply for core logic and I/O; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per high-speed design rules. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245DW | No internal registers; unidirectional or configurable direction control only; lacks CLKAB/CLKBA/CLKENAB/CLKENBA logic. | Suitable for simple bus driving but cannot replace registered data capture or dual-clock synchronization. | Select SN74ABT245DW only if application requires basic 3-state buffering without clocked registration. |
| SN74LVTH245ADW | Lower voltage (3.3 V) operation; LVT logic family; no internal registers; 24 mA drive; not 5 V tolerant on inputs. | Designed for 3.3 V systems; incompatible with 5 V bus signaling unless level-shifted; no clocked storage capability. | Choose SN74LVTH245ADW only for 3.3 V-only designs where registration is unnecessary and voltage scaling is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74ABT245DW and SN74LVTH245ADW, the SN74ABT2952ADW uniquely provides dual 8-bit registered bidirectional data paths with independent clocking and enable controls-making it irreplaceable in applications requiring synchronous, glitch-free bus handoff across timing domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ABT2952ADW?
The SN74ABT2952ADW supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C). This rating is verified by timing parameters including tw (minimum pulse width) of 3.3 ns and fclock max = 150 MHz in the official datasheet SCBS203D. The SN74ABT2952ADW achieves this performance using EPIC-IIB BiCMOS technology, enabling reliable synchronous data transfer in high-speed backplane applications.
How does the SN74ABT2952ADW handle power-up and power-down sequencing?
The SN74ABT2952ADW ensures high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down by requiring OEAB and OEBA to be tied to VCC through pullup resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability, as specified in the datasheet. This prevents bus contention and undefined states before logic stabilization. The SN74ABT2952ADW does not include internal power-on reset circuitry, so external biasing of OE pins is mandatory for safe system integration.
Does the SN74ABT2952ADW support mixed-voltage operation between A and B buses?
No, the SN74ABT2952ADW does not support mixed-voltage operation. It is a 5 V-only device with VCC rated from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Both A and B ports operate at the same VCC-supplied logic level and are not 5 V tolerant when powered down or at lower voltages. Inputs must remain within 0 V to VCC, and outputs swing rail-to-rail relative to the single VCC supply. The SN74ABT2952ADW is not compatible with 3.3 V or 2.5 V bus domains without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABT2952ADW in its DW package?
The SN74ABT2952ADW in the 24-pin SOIC (DW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 81°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SCBS203D datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer board, 1 in² copper pad). Actual thermal performance in end equipment depends on PCB layout, copper area, airflow, and power dissipation-measured peak ICC is 35 mA active, yielding ~175 mW typical power at 5 V.
Can the SN74ABT2952ADW be used as a simple 8-bit buffer without clocking?
Yes, the SN74ABT2952ADW can function as an 8-bit 3-state buffer without clocking by holding CLKENAB and CLKENBA high (inactive), then toggling OEAB or OEBA low to enable A→B or B→A data pass-through. In this mode, data appears transparently at outputs with propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns), but no registration occurs-the SN74ABT2952ADW retains its registered architecture and does not become combinational. For true unregistered buffering, SN74ABT245DW is more appropriate.
