Product details
Overview
SN74ABT657ANT from Texas Instruments is an octal transceiver with integrated parity generator/checker and 3-state outputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V, supporting bidirectional data flow between A and B ports with selectable odd/even parity, and delivering ±32-mA high-drive outputs for robust bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT657ANT datasheet, SN74ABT657ANT pinout, SN74ABT657ANT application, or SN74ABT657ANT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin PDIP (NT) package, T/R-controlled directionality, OE-gated 3-state operation, PARITY/ERR signaling for error detection, and compatibility with TTL-level logic systems requiring parity-checked data integrity.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS transceiver implements a flow-through architecture with noninverting buffers and dedicated parity logic: ODD/EVEN selects parity sense, PARITY outputs generated parity in transmit mode and serves as input in receive mode, while ERR asserts low on parity mismatch. The device maintains high-impedance state during power-up/down when VCC is below 2.1 V.
It supports full 8-bit bidirectional data transfer with independent control of direction (T/R) and output enable (OE), features latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD-17, ESD protection >2000 V (MIL-STD-883), and output drive capability of –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL at VCC = 5 V.
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 bus systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and control applications |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - enables direct driving of heavily loaded buses without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns to 5 ns (A↔B) - supports high-speed synchronous data transfer up to ~100 MHz system timing |
| Parity Function | Configurable odd/even generation and checking - provides hardware-level data integrity verification for critical communication paths |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH = 1.4 ns (min), tPZL = 1.7 ns (min) - ensures fast bus release and minimizes contention windows |
| Input Leakage | ±20 µA (A/B ports) - guarantees stable logic levels with high-impedance termination or pull-up/pull-down networks |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT657ANT is housed in a 24-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-NT), with 0.600-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (notch side left), and all pins are gold-plated leads rated for wave/soldering reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Data inputs/outputs (A port) | Noninverting bidirectional I/O lines connected to local subsystem bus; high-impedance when OE = high |
| B1–B8 | Data inputs/outputs (B port) | Noninverting bidirectional I/O lines connected to remote or backplane bus; direction set by T/R |
| T/R | Transmit/Receive control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - determines active signal path through internal logic |
| OE | Output enable | High = both A and B ports enter high-impedance state - essential for bus arbitration and multi-drop sharing |
| ODD/EVEN | Parity mode select | Low = even parity; High = odd parity - configures parity generator/checker behavior before data transfer |
| PARITY | Parity bit I/O | Output in transmit mode (generated parity); input in receive mode (expected parity value) |
| ERR | Error flag output | Active-low open-drain output asserting low when received data fails parity check |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Single 5-V supply with two ground pins (pins 12 and 13) - reduces ground bounce and improves noise margin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS EPIC-IIB process | Reduces dynamic power dissipation vs. standard bipolar TTL while retaining high noise immunity and speed |
| Flow-through pinout | Minimizes PCB trace length and crosstalk - A1–A8 and B1–B8 aligned for straight-layer routing across bus connectors |
| Power-up/down high-Z | Guarantees bus isolation during supply ramping - prevents glitches or contention when VCC < 2.1 V |
| Output ground bounce < 1 V | Ensures clean signal integrity under heavy switching loads - critical for reliable multi-bit parallel transfers |
| Latch-up immunity > 500 mA | Meets JEDEC JESD-17 - protects against destructive current surges during transient overvoltage events |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT657ADW | SOIC-24 package (surface-mount), identical electrical specs and pinout mapping | Designed for automated SMT assembly; lacks through-hole mechanical retention | Select when PCB space constraints or production line automation require surface-mount packaging |
| SN74ABT657ADBR | SSOP-24 package (0.209" width), same functionality but smaller footprint and higher density | Used in compact instrumentation where board real estate is limited; requires fine-pitch soldering | Choose for space-constrained designs needing same performance in reduced volume, with compatible thermal profile |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74ABT657ANT in a data bus system?
The SN74ABT657ANT functions as an octal bidirectional transceiver with integrated parity generation and checking. It routes 8-bit data between two buses (A and B ports) under T/R control, generates or validates parity bits via ODD/EVEN and PARITY signals, and asserts ERR on parity mismatch - enabling hardware-level data integrity verification without software overhead in the SN74ABT657ANT implementation.
Does the SN74ABT657ANT support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The SN74ABT657ANT provides high-impedance state during power-up and power-down when VCC is below 2.1 V, but it does not include dedicated hot-swap circuitry such as slew-rate control or undervoltage lockout. For safe live insertion, OE must be held high until VCC stabilizes above 2.1 V and system clocks are settled - this behavior is explicitly defined in the SN74ABT657ANT datasheet's power sequencing guidelines.
Can the SN74ABT657ANT operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, the SN74ABT657ANT is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended operating conditions. Its BiCMOS EPIC-IIB process and input thresholds are optimized for 5-V TTL compatibility; applying 3.3 V may result in undefined logic states, insufficient noise margin, or failure to meet VOL/VOH specifications - this limitation applies strictly to the SN74ABT657ANT and is not mitigated by external biasing.
How is parity checked in receive mode on the SN74ABT657ANT?
In receive mode (T/R = low), the SN74ABT657ANT samples all eight B-port bits plus the PARITY input, counts high bits, and compares the total count against the parity sense selected by ODD/EVEN. If the count violates the expected odd/even condition, ERR is driven low. This real-time hardware check occurs independently of external logic and is fully documented in the SN74ABT657ANT function table and logic diagram.
What package type does SN74ABT657ANT use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
SN74ABT657ANT uses a 24-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-NT) with through-hole mounting. Per Texas Instruments' official packaging documentation, this variant carries RoHS-compliant lead finish (NIPDAU) and meets exemption category 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature solder - full compliance status and MSL rating (Level-1-260°C-UNLIM) are confirmed for the SN74ABT657ANT orderable part number.
