Product details
Overview
SN74ABT651NT from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver and register IC with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control between two 8-bit buses (A and B) in high-speed digital systems. It integrates D-type flip-flops, dual clock inputs (CLKAB/CLKBA), dual select controls (SAB/SBA), and dual output-enable inputs (OEAB/OEBA), supporting real-time or stored data transfer at up to 125 MHz with ±32-mA high-drive outputs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT651NT datasheet, SN74ABT651NT pinout, SN74ABT651NT application, or SN74ABT651NT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-register architecture, simultaneous A↔B storage capability, 5-V operation with TTL-compatible thresholds, and NT (plastic DIP-24) package suitability for prototyping and legacy board designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT651NT implements a multiplexed bus-management architecture with independent A-to-B and B-to-A paths, each controlled by dedicated clock, select, and enable signals. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP) and latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JESD 17).
Real-time transfer occurs when SAB/SBA are low; stored-data transfer requires high select inputs and prior clock-triggered latching into internal D flip-flops. Output isolation is guaranteed via 3-state control, and power-up/down high-impedance safety is achieved using external pullup/pulldown resistors on OEBA/OEAB.
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 rails. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - Supports high-throughput bus arbitration in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| Output Drive Strength | –32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - Enables direct interface with multiple TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 ns to 6.4 ns - Guarantees sub-ns timing margins for synchronous 100+ MHz system clocks. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including motor control and instrumentation. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless integration with legacy 5-V logic families. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - Reduces need for external ESD protection in board-level design. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT651NT is supplied in a 24-pin plastic dual-inline-package (PDIP-24), designated NT package per TI documentation. Pin numbering follows standard DIP orientation with Pin 1 at top-left corner (notch side).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLKAB | Clock input for A→B register loading; rising edge captures A-bus data into internal DFFs. |
| 2 | SAB | Select control for A→B path; low = real-time transfer, high = stored-data transfer. |
| 3 | OEAB | Output-enable for A→B direction; low = active drive, high = high-impedance state. |
| 4–11 | A1–A8 | 8-bit data inputs/outputs for Bus A; bidirectional with 3-state control. |
| 12 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O structures. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers BiCMOS core and output drivers. |
| 14 | CLKBA | Clock input for B→A register loading; rising edge captures B-bus data. |
| 15 | SBA | Select control for B→A path; low = real-time, high = stored-data transfer. |
| 16 | OEBA | Output-enable for B→A direction; low = active drive, high = high-Z. |
| 17–24 | B1–B8 | 8-bit data inputs/outputs for Bus B; fully symmetrical to A-port functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent register banks | Enables concurrent capture of A- and B-bus data on separate clock edges, supporting ping-pong buffering without external logic. |
| Multiplexed real-time/stored mode | Single control pin (SAB/SBA) selects between live bus pass-through or registered data, simplifying bus arbitration firmware. |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | –32 mA / +64 mA drive supports fan-out to ≥10 standard TTL loads, eliminating need for buffer ICs in dense backplane designs. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <1 V at VCC = 5 V ensures signal integrity during simultaneous output switching, critical for noise-sensitive analog-digital mixed-signal boards. |
| BiCMOS EPIC-IIB process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power, achieving 125-MHz operation with <30 mA ICC typical under load. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy Test Equipment Data Bus |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional communication between CPU module and I/O expansion cards in modular programmable logic controllers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver and register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT245N | No internal registers; only real-time bidirectional transceivers with direction control (DIR) and output enable (OE). | Suitable for simple bus extension but lacks storage capability for pipelined or buffered transfers. | Choose when register functionality is unnecessary and cost or board space is constrained. |
| SN74ACT652N | Same pinout and function but uses ACT (advanced CMOS) process; lower drive (–24 mA/+24 mA) and no EPIC-IIB ground-bounce optimization. | Acceptable for lower-speed (<60 MHz), low-noise environments where BiCMOS advantages are not required. | Prefer when matching ACT-family timing or when reduced power consumption outweighs drive strength needs. |
Compared with SN74ABT245N and SN74ACT652N, the SN74ABT651NT uniquely delivers integrated storage plus high-drive 3-state outputs in a single DIP-24 package-enabling deterministic bus handshaking, glitch-free mode switching, and robust legacy-system interoperability without additional glue logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74ABT651NT?
The SN74ABT651NT supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C). This rating applies to both CLKAB and CLKBA inputs and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), making the SN74ABT651NT suitable for high-throughput data routing in real-time control systems.
Does the SN74ABT651NT require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its enable pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, OEBA must be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor and OEAB to GND via a pulldown resistor. The minimum resistor values depend on the driver's current-sinking (B→A) and current-sourcing (A→B) capabilities, as specified in the TI datasheet SCBS083E.
Can the SN74ABT651NT operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No - the SN74ABT651NT is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5-V TTL compatibility. For 3.3-V systems, consider the SN74LVC652A or similar LVC-family devices instead of the SN74ABT651NT.
How does the SN74ABT651NT handle simultaneous data storage on both A and B buses?
The SN74ABT651NT supports concurrent storage: a low-to-high transition on CLKAB latches A1–A8 into its internal D flip-flops, while CLKBA↑ simultaneously captures B1–B8 - regardless of OEAB/OEBA or SAB/SBA states. This enables atomic snapshot capture of bidirectional bus activity, a key capability not found in basic transceivers like the SN74ABT245N.
Is the SN74ABT651NT pin-compatible with other packages in the ABT651 family?
Yes - the SN74ABT651NT (NT package) shares identical pinout and electrical functionality with SN74ABT651DW (SOIC-24), SN74ABT651DWR (tape-and-reel SOIC), and SN74ABT651PW (TSSOP-24). All variants use the same logic diagram, timing parameters, and truth table, allowing drop-in substitution across package types when mechanical constraints permit.
