Product details
Overview
SN74ABT657ADWR from Texas Instruments is an octal transceiver with integrated parity generator/checker and 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data bus interfacing in industrial control and legacy computing systems. It supports 8-bit data flow in either direction (A↔B), generates or verifies odd/even parity on the ninth bit (PARITY), and features –32-mA high-drive IOH and 64-mA IOL at VCC = 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT657ADWR datasheet, SN74ABT657ADWR pinout, SN74ABT657ADWR application, or SN74ABT657ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, 1.8–4.6 ns propagation delay (A→B), OE-controlled 3-state operation, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS transceiver implements a flow-through pin architecture with separate T/R (transmit/receive) and OE (output enable) controls. Data direction is determined solely by T/R logic level: high enables A→B transmission; low enables B→A reception. Parity mode (odd/even) is selected via ODD/EVEN input, and ERR output asserts low on parity mismatch during receive mode.
It integrates real-time parity generation during transmit (PARITY output set to maintain selected parity sense across eight A-bus bits plus PARITY) and parity checking during receive (ERR reflects match/mismatch between B-bus + PARITY). Power-up/down high-impedance behavior is guaranteed below 2.1 V VCC, and latch-up immunity exceeds 500 mA per JESD-17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | 1 ns (min) to 4.6 ns (max) at 5 V - enables reliable timing in 20+ MHz bus systems |
| Output Drive (IOL / IOH) | 64 mA / –32 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV - improves noise immunity on control lines (T/R, OE, ODD/EVEN) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events per MIL-STD-883 |
| Power-Up State | High-impedance below 2.1 V VCC - prevents bus contention during power sequencing |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT657ADWR is packaged in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) with 300-mil body width and standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint. Pin numbering follows top-view convention with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver with parity applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT657ADW | Same die, identical electrical specs, same 24-pin SOIC (DW) package - differs only in tape-and-reel vs. tube packaging | No functional difference; DW variant uses tube packaging (25 pcs), while ADWR uses tape-and-reel (2000 pcs) | Select SN74ABT657ADWR for automated SMT assembly; choose SN74ABT657ADW for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldering. |
| 74ACT16652DLR | 16-bit version in 48-pin SSOP; higher drive (–24 mA / 24 mA), no parity function, CMOS-only (no BiCMOS) | Lacks parity generation/checking; requires external logic for parity, increasing component count and board area | Use only when 16-bit width and absence of parity checking are acceptable; not a functional substitute for parity-critical designs. |
Compared with SN74ABT657ADWR, SN74ABT657ADW offers identical performance in tube format for manual assembly, while 74ACT16652DLR provides double width but omits parity-making SN74ABT657ADWR the sole choice for compact, self-contained 8-bit parity-aware bus interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by SN74ABT657ADWR?
The SN74ABT657ADWR does not operate on a clock signal-it is asynchronous. Its 4.6 ns maximum propagation delay (A→B at VCC = 5 V) supports reliable operation on buses with signal periods ≥9.2 ns, enabling use in 100+ Mbps parallel data links such as ISA and custom industrial backplanes. Timing margins must account for trace capacitance and load.
How does the ERR output behave during parity checking in receive mode?
In receive mode (T/R = low), the ERR output of SN74ABT657ADWR goes low when the number of high bits across B1–B8 plus the PARITY input does not match the selected parity sense (odd/even). For example, if ODD/EVEN = high (odd parity), PARITY = high, and exactly three B-bus bits are high, ERR remains high (no error); if four B-bus bits are high, ERR asserts low.
Can SN74ABT657ADWR be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
No-SN74ABT657ADWR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V VCC operation and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). Direct connection to 3.3-V systems risks undriven inputs and potential damage due to VI exceeding VCC. Level-shifting or buffer isolation is required for mixed-voltage interfacing.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement for SN74ABT657ADWR with extended temperature range?
No direct pin-compatible replacement exists for SN74ABT657ADWR with extended temperature range. The military-grade SN54ABT657A operates from –55°C to 125°C but uses ceramic DIP (JT) or CERDIP (FK) packages-not the SOIC (DW) footprint of SN74ABT657ADWR. No 24-pin SOIC variant of the 54-series is offered by Texas Instruments.
What is the purpose of the dual GND pins (Pins 21 and 22) on SN74ABT657ADWR?
The dual GND pins (21 and 22) on SN74ABT657ADWR provide separate low-impedance return paths for logic core and output driver circuits, reducing ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V typical) and improving noise immunity in high-speed switching. This layout minimizes crosstalk between control signals and high-current I/O transitions, critical for maintaining signal integrity in dense PCB layouts.
