Product details
Overview
SN74F543DWG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, implementing dual-directional data flow control via independent A-to-B and B-to-A latch-enable and output-enable inputs. It features A-side outputs rated for 24 mA sink current and B-side outputs rated for 64 mA sink current, operates over 0°C to 70°C, and is used in bus interface and data buffering applications in legacy TTL-based industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F543DWG4 datasheet, SN74F543DWG4 pinout, SN74F543DWG4 application, or SN74F543DWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional latch timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 12.5 ns), 3-state output drive capability per port, VCC = 4.5–5.5 V operation, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74F543DWG4 integrates two independent sets of D-type latches - one for A-to-B and one for B-to-A data paths - each controlled by dedicated CE, LE, and OE signals. Its logic supports transparent latch mode (LE low) followed by storage (LE rising edge), enabling synchronized bidirectional data capture.
It uses standard F-series TTL electrical characteristics: VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max, VOL = 0.55 V max at IOL = 64 mA (B-side), and ICCZ = 83–125 mA in 3-state high-impedance mode. Timing parameters are specified across full temperature and voltage ranges, with tSU/th = 3.5 ns min/max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL bus systems and tolerates supply ripple without functional failure. |
| IOL (A-side) | 24 mA - supports driving standard TTL loads on A-port lines without external buffers. |
| IOL (B-side) | 64 mA - enables direct interfacing with higher-current peripherals such as LED drivers or legacy bus terminations. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤ 12.5 ns - guarantees sub-13 ns propagation delay for both A↔B directions under worst-case conditions, critical for synchronous bus timing. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade industrial equipment environments, not extended or automotive temperature ranges. |
| Logic Family | F-series TTL - provides known noise margins, input thresholds, and fanout behavior consistent with 74F design practices. |
| 3-State Enable | Separate OEAB/OEBA per direction - allows independent tri-state control of A and B ports, preventing bus contention during mixed-direction transfers. |
Pinout & Package
SN74F543DWG4 is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil width, gull-wing leads, and JEDEC MS-013 compliant dimensions (15.4 mm × 7.5 mm body, 2.65 mm height). Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LEBA) | B-to-A latch enable | Active-low control: when low, makes B→A latches transparent; rising edge stores data from B inputs. |
| 2 (OEBA) | B-to-A output enable | Active-low: enables B-port outputs to drive A-bus when CEBA and OEBA both low. |
| 3–10 (A1–A8) | A-side I/O terminals | Bi-directional data lines for A bus; driven by A latches or present as inputs depending on CEAB/CEBA state. |
| 11 (CEAB) | A-to-B chip enable | Active-low master enable: must be low for A→B data capture or B-output activation. |
| 12 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary power return path for all internal logic and output drivers; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 13 (VCC) | Supply voltage | +5 V nominal power rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required near pin for noise suppression. |
| 14 (CEBA) | B-to-A chip enable | Active-low master enable: must be low for B→A data capture or A-output activation. |
| 15–22 (B1–B8) | B-side I/O terminals | Bi-directional data lines for B bus; driven by B latches or present as inputs depending on CEBA/CEAB state. |
| 23 (LEAB) | A-to-B latch enable | Active-low control: when low, makes A→B latches transparent; rising edge stores data from A inputs. |
| 24 (OEAB) | A-to-B output enable | Active-low: enables A-port outputs to drive B-bus when CEAB and OEAB both low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent register paths | Separate A↔B and B↔A control logic eliminates need for external gating or sequencing logic in bidirectional bus interfaces. |
| Asymmetric output drive strength | B-side 64 mA sink vs. A-side 24 mA sink allows optimized driver matching - e.g., B port drives heavier loads like backplane stubs while A port handles local logic. |
| True 3-state outputs | Outputs enter high-impedance state within ≤10 ns (tPZH/tPLZ) after OE assertion, minimizing bus contention windows in multi-drop systems. |
| Back-to-back latch architecture | Enables pipeline-style data staging: one register captures new data while the other holds previously latched values for concurrent read/write operations. |
| F-series TTL compatibility | Guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds and AC/DC specs ensure drop-in replacement for existing 74F543 designs without signal integrity or timing recalculations. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy CPU Bus Extender |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F543DWR | Same die, identical pinout and specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel vs. tube for DWG4). | No functional difference; suitable for automated SMT assembly where reel format is required. | Select SN74F543DWR for pick-and-place production; SN74F543DWG4 remains valid for manual prototyping or low-volume repair. |
| SN74LS543N | LS-family variant: lower speed (tPLH ≤ 25 ns), reduced IOL (B-side = 24 mA), higher VIH (2.3 V min), and higher power consumption (ICCZ ≈ 20 mA). | Compatible in static logic but unsuitable for timing-critical paths requiring <13 ns propagation or >24 mA B-side drive. | Choose SN74LS543N only if system timing budget allows ≥25 ns delays and load requirements are ≤24 mA per B output. |
Compared with SN74F543DWR (identical functionality, reel-packaged) and SN74LS543N (slower, lower-drive LS variant), SN74F543DWG4 delivers optimal balance of speed, drive strength, and legacy 74F compatibility for commercial-temperature bus interface designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74F543DWG4?
The SN74F543DWG4 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, meeting commercial-grade temperature specifications. It is not rated for extended industrial (–40°C to 85°C) or automotive temperature ranges. Thermal derating or additional heatsinking is not supported per datasheet, and operation outside this range may result in timing violations or output instability. Always verify ambient and junction temperature limits in final system layout when deploying SN74F543DWG4.
Does the SN74F543DWG4 support true bidirectional data flow without external control logic?
Yes, the SN74F543DWG4 supports fully independent bidirectional data flow using dedicated CEAB/LEAB/OEAB for A-to-B and CEBA/LEBA/OEBA for B-to-A paths. Each direction operates autonomously - for example, A→B latching can occur while B→A outputs remain disabled. This eliminates need for external multiplexers or sequencers in bus interface designs, making SN74F543DWG4 self-contained for dual-lane registered transceivers.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for output current on the SN74F543DWG4 B-side pins?
The absolute maximum rating for output current on SN74F543DWG4 B1–B8 pins is 128 mA in the low state, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating condition specifies 64 mA (IOL) as the maximum sustained output current for reliable performance. Exceeding 64 mA risks exceeding VOL spec (0.55 V) and may accelerate device wear; continuous operation above 64 mA is not advised. The 128 mA limit applies only to short-duration fault conditions (≤1 second), not functional operation.
Can the SN74F543DWG4 be used as a direct replacement for SN74F543DW in existing PCBs?
Yes, SN74F543DWG4 is a functionally and pin-compatible variant of SN74F543DW, sharing identical SOIC-24 (DW) package dimensions, pinout, electrical specs, and timing behavior. The "G4" suffix denotes TI's green packaging standard (lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish), whereas legacy SN74F543DW may have leaded finish. No PCB layout changes are needed, but reflow profile must match Level-1 MSL requirements (260°C peak) for SN74F543DWG4.
How does the latch-enable timing of SN74F543DWG4 affect data setup requirements?
The SN74F543DWG4 requires data to be stable for at least 3.5 ns before the rising edge of LEAB or LEBA (tSU = 3.5 ns max), and to remain stable for 3.5 ns after that edge (th = 3.5 ns max). These tight setup/hold windows demand precise clock alignment in synchronous systems. Violating them may cause metastability or incorrect latched values. Designers must account for trace skew and driver propagation delays when generating LE signals relative to A/B data edges in SN74F543DWG4-based interfaces.
