Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2952ADWR 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, supports 150 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and features noninverting outputs with typical VOLP < 1 V - used in high-speed system bus isolation and data buffering in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2952ADWR datasheet, SN74ABT2952ADWR pinout, SN74ABT2952ADWR application, or SN74ABT2952ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional register timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns), 3-state enable/disable performance (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 6.7 ns), thermal resistance (θJA = 81°C/W in DW package), and compatibility with 5-V TTL/CMOS logic interfaces.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT2952ADWR integrates dual 8-bit transparent latches synchronized to separate clock inputs (CLKAB/CLKBA) and controlled by dedicated clock-enable (CLKENAB/CLKENBA) and output-enable (OEAB/OEBA) signals. Each register captures data on the low-to-high clock transition when its corresponding clock-enable is low.
Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process enables high-speed operation with reduced power dissipation versus standard bipolar TTL, while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and robust 3-state output control that ensures high-impedance during power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of supply ripple. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - supports high-throughput synchronous bus transfers in real-time systems. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 64 mA / IOH = –32 mA - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns (CL = 50 pF) - enables sub-7-ns signal path timing in tightly constrained PCB layouts. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 5.7 ns - ensures fast bus arbitration and minimizes contention windows during direction switching. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments without derating. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 81°C/W (DW package) - defines maximum power dissipation limit under natural convection cooling. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2952ADWR is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil body width, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu plating. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | A-side data bus inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to one system bus segment; driven high-impedance when OEAB is high. |
| B1–B8 | B-side data bus inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to second system bus segment; driven high-impedance when OEBA is high. |
| CLKAB | A-to-B clock input | Triggers capture of A-bus data into A→B register on rising edge when CLKENAB is low. |
| CLKBA | B-to-A clock input | Triggers capture 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 functionality; when high, CLKAB is ignored and A→B register holds last value. |
| CLKENBA | B-to-A clock enable | Active-low control enabling CLKBA functionality; when high, CLKBA is ignored and B→A register holds last value. |
| OEAB | A-to-B output enable | Active-low control enabling A→B data transfer to B bus; when high, B1–B8 enter high-impedance state. |
| OEBA | B-to-A output enable | Active-low control enabling B→A data transfer to A bus; when high, A1–A8 enter high-impedance state. |
| VCC | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply connection; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise and ground bounce. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize VOLP. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 8-bit back-to-back registers | Enables simultaneous, independent latching of data flowing in both directions without bus contention. |
| Noninverting outputs | Preserves signal polarity across both A and B ports, simplifying timing analysis and eliminating inversion logic. |
| Low output ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) | Reduces noise coupling into adjacent signal lines and improves signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Latch-up immunity > 500 mA | Meets JESD17 requirements, ensuring robustness against transient overcurrent events in harsh environments. |
| ESD protection > 2000 V (HBM) | Provides handling safety during assembly and field service without requiring special ESD precautions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245DWR | Octal nonregistered transceiver; no internal clocked registers; only 3-state control via single OE. | Suitable for simple level-shifting or bus isolation where registration is not required. | Select when deterministic latency and clock-domain crossing are unnecessary; lower propagation delay (tPLH ≤ 4.2 ns) but no data retention. |
| SN74LVTH245ADW | 3.3-V LVTH logic family; lower drive (IOL = 32 mA); incompatible voltage range (3.0–3.6 V). | Designed for mixed-voltage 3.3-V/5-V system interfaces, not direct 5-V replacement. | Choose only if migrating to 3.3-V core logic; requires level translation for 5-V bus connection and cannot substitute without redesign. |
Compared with SN74ABT2952ADWR, SN74ABT245DWR offers faster raw throughput but lacks bidirectional registration, while SN74LVTH245ADW reduces power and noise at the cost of voltage incompatibility and halved drive strength - making SN74ABT2952ADWR uniquely suited for registered 5-V bus bridging with timing control.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ABT2952ADWR?
The SN74ABT2952ADWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in the timing requirements table of the official datasheet. This rating applies to both CLKAB and CLKBA inputs under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF). The SN74ABT2952ADWR achieves this performance using TI's EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process, balancing speed and power efficiency.
Does the SN74ABT2952ADWR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure defined high-impedance states during power-up or power-down, OEAB and OEBA should each be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends evaluating based on the driver's IOH specification and desired rise time. This requirement is explicitly stated in the SN74ABT2952ADWR datasheet to prevent bus contention during supply ramping.
Can the SN74ABT2952ADWR operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No - the SN74ABT2952ADWR is rated exclusively for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), output drive characteristics, and internal BiCMOS structure are optimized for 5-V TTL/CMOS compatibility. Applying 3.3 V violates the recommended operating conditions and may result in unreliable logic levels, increased propagation delay, or functional failure. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's LVTH or LVC series alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABT2952ADWR in its DW package?
The SN74ABT2952ADWR in the SOIC (DW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 81°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value is critical for calculating maximum allowable power dissipation (Pmax = (TJmax – TA)/θJA) and must be used with the device's actual ICC consumption (up to 35 mA in active mode) to verify safe operation at the target ambient temperature. The θJA figure is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the SN74ABT2952ADWR datasheet.
How does the SN74ABT2952ADWR handle bus contention during direction switching?
The SN74ABT2952ADWR avoids bus contention through independent, active-low output-enable controls (OEAB and OEBA) that place each port into high-impedance before the opposing port becomes active. Its dual-register architecture allows data to be latched and held during direction transitions, eliminating reliance on timing overlap. This behavior is reinforced by the requirement to tie OE pins to VCC via pull-ups - ensuring default high-Z states during power sequencing, which is a core design feature of the SN74ABT2952ADWR.
