Product details
Overview
SN74BCT543DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal transceiver IC with dual-directional 3-state latched data flow, featuring BiCMOS technology for low ICCZ (9–15 mA), 5-V supply operation, and 0°C to 70°C temperature range. It implements two independent sets of D-type latches with separate LEAB/LEBA and OEAB/OEBA controls, enabling bidirectional buffered data transfer in bus interface applications such as memory address/data multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT543DWR datasheet, SN74BCT543DWR pinout, SN74BCT543DWR application, or SN74BCT543DWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, 8-bit bidirectional latch architecture, 3-state output drive capability (IOL = 64 mA), and compatibility with TTL-level control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V).
Technical Context
The SN74BCT543DWR integrates back-to-back D-latch registers per data channel, allowing independent A→B and B→A storage and output enable control via CEAB/CEBA, LEAB/LEBA, and OEAB/OEBA signals. Its BiCMOS design combines bipolar input stages for TTL compatibility and CMOS output drivers for reduced quiescent current.
Timing behavior is defined by setup/hold times (tsu = 4.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns), propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL = 2–8.8 ns), and output enable/disable transitions (tPZH/tPLZ = 1–12.3 ns), all specified at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF, and TA = 25°C. All I/O ports support −0.5 V to 5.5 V input voltage range with clamp protection.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74BCT543DWR is housed in a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package (DW), measuring 15.4 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.35 mm, with 1.27-mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 Inputs | Unidirectional data inputs for A-side latch; driven by upstream source (e.g., CPU address bus). |
| 11, 13, 23 | CEAB, CEBA, LEBA | Chip-enable and latch-enable controls: CEAB must be low for A→B operation; LEBA governs B→A latch transparency. |
| 12 | GND | Power return reference for all internal logic and output drivers; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| 24 | VCC | Primary 5-V supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin. |
| 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 | B1–B8 Outputs | 3-state buffered outputs reflecting A-latch contents when OEAB = L and CEAB = L; drive downstream bus segments. |
| 22, 10, 9 | OEAB, LEAB, OEBA | Output-enable and latch-enable for A→B path: OEAB = L activates B outputs; LEAB = L enables A→B latch transparency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS Process Technology | Combines TTL-compatible input thresholds with CMOS output efficiency, achieving ICCZ ≤15 mA while maintaining 64-mA sink capability. |
| Dual Independent Latch Control | Separate CE/LE/OE signals per direction allow asynchronous, non-blocking bidirectional data staging - critical for shared-bus arbitration. |
| 3-State True Outputs | Outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high, enabling wire-OR bus topologies and preventing contention during multi-driver operation. |
| Back-to-Back Register Architecture | Each data channel includes two cascaded D-latches, permitting simultaneous capture on one side while holding/forwarding on the other - ideal for pipeline buffering. |
| MIL-STD-883C ESD Rating | Exceeds 2000 V HBM - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in most industrial handling and board-level ESD environments. |
Applications
| Memory Bus Interface | CPU Address/Data Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching address/data signals between microprocessor and SRAM/DRAM banks during read/write cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional latch transceiver managing time-multiplexed AD[0:7] bus with independent A→B (address out) and B→A (data in) control. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate octal latches and buffers; reduces component count and PCB area while preserving signal integrity at 10–20 MHz bus speeds. |
Use Scenario: Demultiplexing time-shared address/data lines on 8086/8088-based systems using ALE-driven latch enable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronized latch controller accepting ALE-derived LEAB pulses to capture address bits and hold them stable during memory access. Use Value: Provides precise tsu = 4.5 ns setup margin and th = 1.5 ns hold margin relative to ALE edge - ensuring reliable address capture under worst-case timing skew. |
| Industrial PLC Backplane | Legacy ISA Bus Expansion |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modular I/O cards to central controller over parallel backplane with noise-prone long traces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bus driver/latch providing galvanically isolated signal conditioning and drive strength scaling. Use Value: 64-mA output drive sustains signal levels over 30-cm 50-Ω traces; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during hot-swap events. |
Use Scenario: Extending ISA bus signals to add-on peripheral cards requiring level translation and drive reinforcement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TTL-compatible transceiver translating between ISA slot logic and local card logic, with independent OE control per direction.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional latch transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT543DW | Advanced CMOS (ACT) process; higher speed (tPLH = 4.5 ns typ), lower ICCZ (2 µA), but reduced output drive (IOL = 24 mA). | Preferred for low-power, high-speed systems where bus loading is light and 5-V TTL compatibility is not required. | Select SN74ACT543DW only if system operates at <50 MHz and uses CMOS-compatible signaling; not suitable for driving legacy TTL loads. |
| 74LS645N | Bipolar LS-TTL process; slower (tPLH = 25 ns), higher ICC (35 mA), no BiCMOS power savings, but identical pinout and function. | Drop-in replacement for LS-based designs needing minimal layout change, but with higher power and thermal dissipation. | Choose 74LS645N only for legacy LS-system upgrades where SN74BCT543DWR's BiCMOS benefits are unnecessary and cost is primary. |
Compared with SN74ACT543DW and 74LS645N, the SN74BCT543DWR uniquely balances TTL compatibility, 64-mA drive strength, and sub-15-mA quiescent current - making it optimal for mixed-technology industrial bus interfaces where reliability, drive capability, and power efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74BCT543DWR in a digital system?
The SN74BCT543DWR serves as an octal bidirectional transceiver with dual independent latch registers, enabling controlled, 3-state buffered data transfer between two 8-bit buses. Its core function is to isolate, store, and forward data in either direction - for example, capturing CPU address signals on one side while driving memory address lines on the other - all within a single 24-pin SOIC package. This makes the SN74BCT543DWR especially valuable in bus multiplexing and backplane interface applications where timing control and drive strength are critical.
Does the SN74BCT543DWR support true 5-V TTL logic compatibility?
Yes, the SN74BCT543DWR guarantees full TTL compatibility through its input voltage thresholds: VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum across the 0°C to 70°C range. Its BiCMOS input stage replicates standard TTL switching behavior, allowing direct connection to 74LS, 74S, and other TTL-family devices without level-shifting circuitry. This ensures reliable interoperability in mixed-logic systems - a key reason why the SN74BCT543DWR remains widely used in legacy industrial and computing designs.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC and I/O voltage on the SN74BCT543DWR?
The SN74BCT543DWR has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of −0.5 V to 7 V, and an absolute maximum I/O port voltage rating of −0.5 V to 5.5 V. These limits define the stress boundaries beyond which permanent damage may occur. Importantly, the device is rated for operation only within the recommended 4.5 V to 5.5 V VCC range and −0.5 V to 5.5 V I/O range - meaning that while it can survive brief excursions to 7 V on VCC, sustained operation above 5.5 V violates specifications and risks functional failure or accelerated wear-out.
Can the SN74BCT543DWR be used in both A→B and B→A data paths simultaneously?
No - the SN74BCT543DWR does not support simultaneous bidirectional data flow. Its architecture requires sequential operation: CEAB must be low to enable A→B data capture and output, while CEBA must be low to enable B→A operation. Because CEAB and CEBA are separate active-low inputs, only one direction can be enabled at a time. However, rapid toggling between directions (e.g., using handshake signals) is supported, with typical propagation delays under 9 ns - enabling efficient half-duplex bus arbitration in protocols like ISA or custom parallel interfaces.
What package type and lead finish does the SN74BCT543DWR use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The SN74BCT543DWR uses a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package designated DW, with dimensions of 15.4 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.35 mm and a 1.27-mm lead pitch. Its lead finish is NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold), and it carries a RoHS-compliant designation per TI's packaging documentation. The device is rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life), meaning it can be stored indefinitely before reflow soldering without baking - simplifying inventory management and manufacturing logistics for the SN74BCT543DWR.
