Product details
Overview
SN74F543NSR from Texas Instruments is an octal registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, implementing dual-directional data flow via independent A-to-B and B-to-A latch-enable and output-enable controls. It features true 3-state outputs, back-to-back D-type latches for bidirectional storage, A-side sink capability of 24 mA, B-side sink capability of 64 mA, and operates across 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F543NSR datasheet, SN74F543NSR pinout, SN74F543NSR application, or SN74F543NSR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, timing parameters (e.g., tPLH ≤ 8.5 ns), absolute maximum ratings (VCC up to 7 V), output drive strength per port, and package-specific mechanical data for SSOP-24 (DB) and SOIC-24 (DW) variants.
Technical Context
The SN74F543NSR implements two independent 8-bit latch paths - A-to-B and B-to-A - each controlled by dedicated CE, LE, and OE inputs, enabling simultaneous or isolated bidirectional data staging. Its logic uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and supports 5-V operation only, with no mixed-voltage I/O capability.
It provides true 3-state output control per port group: A outputs are rated for 24 mA low-level sink, B outputs for 64 mA sink, and both support high-impedance disable under OE assertion. Timing is characterized at CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω, with propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL) ranging from 2.2 ns to 12.5 ns depending on signal path and temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Requires stable 5-V supply; operation outside this range invalidates timing and drive specs. |
| IOL (A ports) | 24 mA - Supports driving standard TTL loads or multiple 74-series inputs without buffering. |
| IOL (B ports) | 64 mA - Enables direct interface to higher-current peripherals like LED arrays or bus terminations. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2.2 ns to 12.5 ns - Specifies worst-case propagation delay from latch enable or OE to output transition under full load. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - Commercial-grade rating; not qualified for extended industrial or automotive temperature ranges. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - Ensures reliable recognition of TTL logic levels; incompatible with CMOS-level signaling without level translation. |
| Output Disable Time | tPZL ≤ 12 ns - Critical for bus arbitration timing when releasing control of shared data lines. |
Pinout & Package
SN74F543NSR is packaged in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) body with 300-mil width, 1.27 mm pitch, and gull-wing leads. The package conforms to JEDEC MS-013 and TI's DW drawing, with thermal pad omitted and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 inputs/outputs | 8-bit data port A; bidirectional I/O with 3-state control via OEAB/OEBA and latch control via LEAB/LEBA. |
| 9–16 | B1–B8 inputs/outputs | 8-bit data port B; higher-drive (64 mA) side used for bus-driving or peripheral interfacing. |
| 17, 18 | LEAB, LEBA | Latch-enable signals - low-to-high transition captures data into respective A-to-B or B-to-A registers. |
| 19, 20 | OEAB, OEBA | Output-enable signals - active-low control of 3-state drivers on A or B ports independently. |
| 21, 22 | CEAB, CEBA | Chip-enable signals - must be low to activate corresponding data path; enables gating before latch or output stages. |
| 23 | VCC | Positive supply pin - connects to 5-V rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for noise immunity. |
| 24 | GND | Ground reference - shared return for all logic and output current paths; must be low-impedance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent latch paths | Enables concurrent A→B and B→A data staging without contention - essential for full-duplex bus arbitration in legacy systems. |
| Asymmetric output drive (24 mA / 64 mA) | Allows A port to serve as controller-side interface and B port as high-current bus driver - eliminates need for external buffers in many 8-bit designs. |
| True 3-state outputs with fast disable | tPZL ≤ 12 ns ensures rapid bus release, reducing contention windows in multi-master or shared-bus environments. |
| Back-to-back register architecture | Provides deterministic setup/hold timing (tsu/th ≥ 3 ns) for latch-enable-controlled data capture - simplifies synchronous design with clocked control logic. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max guarantees interoperability with legacy 74LS/74F logic families without level-shifting circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74F543NSR?
The SN74F543NSR has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V violates the recommended conditions and may cause timing violations, increased power dissipation, or accelerated device wear. The SN74F543NSR is not rated for 3.3-V or mixed-voltage operation.
Does SN74F543NSR support bidirectional data flow without external logic?
Yes, the SN74F543NSR natively supports independent bidirectional data flow using dedicated control inputs: CEAB/LEAB/OEAB manage A-to-B transfer, while CEBA/LEBA/OEBA manage B-to-A transfer. No external gates or sequencing logic are needed - each path operates autonomously, enabling full-duplex staging in a single device.
What is the output drive capability of SN74F543NSR on port B?
The SN74F543NSR B-port outputs are characterized to sink up to 64 mA per pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This allows direct driving of LEDs, relays, or terminated bus lines without external buffers. Exceeding 64 mA risks violating VOL specifications or triggering internal current-limiting behavior.
Can SN74F543NSR be used in place of SN74F245?
No - the SN74F543NSR is a registered transceiver with dual latches and independent enable controls, whereas the SN74F245 is an unregistered octal bus transceiver with single-directional control. They differ in function, timing behavior, and pin compatibility. Substituting SN74F543NSR for SN74F245 introduces unintended data registration and requires redesign of control signal timing.
What package options are available for SN74F543NSR?
The SN74F543NSR is offered in SOIC-24 (DW) packaging, as indicated by the "NSR" suffix. TI also produced DB (SSOP-24) and obsolete DW variants, but SN74F543NSR specifically refers to the 24-pin narrow SOIC package with 300-mil width, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and MSL-1 reflow rating.
