Product details
Overview
SN74ALS623ANSR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with true logic output, 3-state bidirectional operation, and dual output-enable control (OEAB/OEBA) enabling asynchronous A↔B data flow in industrial and legacy computing buses. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports 0°C to 70°C ambient, and delivers 24 mA low-level output drive for TTL-compatible interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS623ANSR datasheet, SN74ALS623ANSR pinout, SN74ALS623ANSR application, or SN74ALS623ANSR equivalent, this device serves as a legacy-compatible, non-inverting 8-bit bus isolator with latch capability, precise timing control, and SOP-20 packaging optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS623ANSR implements dual independent enable logic: OEAB controls A→B transmission while OEBA controls B→A transmission, allowing full bidirectional isolation or simultaneous bidirectional latching when both enables are active. Its ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) process ensures compatibility with standard TTL voltage thresholds and fan-out requirements.
It features true (non-inverting) logic path between A and B ports, 3-state outputs with fast enable/disable times (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 22 ns), and propagation delays of 2–13 ns (A↔B) under 50 pF load. All I/O pins tolerate up to 5.5 V input, and absolute maximum VCC is 7 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V supply rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| Logic Type | True (non-inverting) - Preserves signal polarity across A↔B bus paths without inversion overhead. |
| IOL / IOH | 24 mA / –15 mA - Drives standard TTL loads directly; sufficient for 10-unit fan-out at 5 V. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2–13 ns - Enables high-speed bus arbitration in legacy microprocessor systems (e.g., Z80, 8080). |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control applications. |
| Output Type | 3-state (tri-state) - Allows multiple devices to share common bus lines without contention. |
| Package | SOP-20 (NS) - Surface-mount, 24.4 mm tape-and-reel format (2000 pcs/reel); footprint compatible with SOIC-20 but thinner profile. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 20-pin small-outline plastic package, 1.27 mm pitch, 13.0 mm body width, 7.6 mm body length, max height 2.65 mm. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OEAB) | Output Enable A→B | Active-low control: enables A-port drivers to drive B bus; high = high-Z A outputs. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | A-side Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to A bus; driven by internal transceivers when enabled. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary power return path for all logic and I/O circuits; must be low-impedance. |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | B-side Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to B bus; driven by internal transceivers when enabled. |
| 19 (OEBA) | Output Enable B→A | Active-low control: enables B-port drivers to drive A bus; high = high-Z B outputs. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 5 V nominal power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent output enables | OEAB and OEBA allow asymmetric bus control-e.g., A→B only, B→A only, or isolated state-without external logic. |
| Local bus-latch capability | Simultaneous assertion of OEAB and OEBA holds both A and B buses in last valid state, eliminating need for external latches. |
| True (non-inverting) logic path | Eliminates signal polarity correction in A↔B data routing, reducing design complexity in backplane or memory-mapped I/O systems. |
| ALS process technology | Delivers TTL-compatible speed/power trade-off: faster than LS, lower power than AS, with robust noise immunity. |
| 3-state bus isolation | High-impedance outputs prevent bus contention during multi-master arbitration or hot-swap scenarios. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interfacing | Legacy Microprocessor Bus Extension |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Connecting CPU address/data bus to peripheral expansion slots in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus buffer with independent direction control, enabling CPU read/write cycles to isolated I/O modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS623AN | Same logic function and specs, but in 20-pin PDIP (N) package; through-hole mounting, 20 pcs/tube. | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy board rework where SOP-20 footprint is unavailable. | Select SN74ALS623AN for hand-soldered development boards or field repair; SN74ALS623ANSR for automated SMT production. |
| SN74AS623 | Faster propagation (1–9 ns vs. 2–13 ns) and higher drive (64 mA IOL), but consumes more ICC (up to 189 mA) and uses same SOP-20 package. | Suitable for high-speed bus segments requiring tighter timing margins, but requires enhanced thermal management. | Choose SN74AS623 only if timing budget demands <10 ns delay and board layout accommodates higher power dissipation. |
Compared with SN74ALS623AN, SN74ALS623ANSR offers surface-mount scalability and tape-and-reel automation; compared with SN74AS623, it trades speed for lower power and broader legacy compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained commercial designs.

FAQ
What is the logic configuration of SN74ALS623ANSR?
The SN74ALS623ANSR implements true (non-inverting) logic with 3-state outputs. Data passes unchanged from A to B or B to A depending on OEAB and OEBA states. Unlike SN74ALS620A (inverting), SN74ALS623ANSR preserves signal polarity, simplifying bus interface design in systems where inversion would require additional logic.
Does SN74ALS623ANSR support bus latching functionality?
Yes. When both OEAB and OEBA are asserted low, the SN74ALS623ANSR enters local bus-latch mode: both A and B ports retain their last driven states, effectively storing 16 bits of data without external latches. This behavior is confirmed in the functional table and described in the device description section of the datasheet.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SN74ALS623ANSR?
The SN74ALS623ANSR has an absolute maximum VCC of 7 V, input voltage limit of 7 V on all pins, and I/O port voltage limit of 5.5 V. Storage temperature range is –65°C to 150°C. Exceeding these values may cause permanent damage; operation must remain within recommended conditions (4.5–5.5 V, 0–70°C).
Is SN74ALS623ANSR pin-compatible with other variants in the SN74ALS62x series?
Yes. SN74ALS623ANSR shares identical pinout and package dimensions with SN74ALS620A, SN74ALS621A, and SN74ALS623A in SOP-20 (NS) and SOIC-20 (DW) packages. However, logic behavior differs: SN74ALS620A is inverting, SN74ALS621A has open-collector outputs, and only SN74ALS623A/SN74AS623 are true 3-state.
What is the recommended operating condition for output current in SN74ALS623ANSR?
The SN74ALS623ANSR is rated for IOL = 24 mA (low-level) and IOH = –15 mA (high-level) under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0–70°C). These values ensure reliable TTL-compatible drive strength while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.5 V and VOH ≥ 2.4 V per electrical characteristics tables.
