Product details
Overview
SN74LVC863PWLE from Texas Instruments is a 9-bit bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, accepts 5.5-V inputs, delivers 6.1-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff. It is used in voltage-level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC863PWLE datasheet, SN74LVC863PWLE pinout, SN74LVC863PWLE application, or SN74LVC863PWLE equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional 3-state control timing (ten/tdis), mixed-mode input tolerance, Ioff-enabled power-down isolation, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC863PWLE implements dual independent 3-state enable controls (OEABx/OEBAx) per direction, allowing flexible latch-and-transfer or real-time bidirectional flow. Its LVC logic family ensures TTL-compatible thresholds across 1.65–3.6-V VCC while maintaining 5.5-V tolerant inputs.
It features Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent current backflow, and its output-ground-bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and VOH-undershoot (VOHV > 2 V) are characterized at 3.3 V/25°C - critical for signal integrity in fast-switching bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables operation across low-voltage logic rails including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V systems. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V peripherals without external level shifters. |
| Max tpd | 6.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data transfer up to ~160 MHz bus rates in synchronous designs. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - ensures safe isolation during partial power-down, preventing damage from back-current. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives standard 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, lead-free (RoHS & no Sb/Br), moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C reflow unlimited).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11, 13, 14, 2, 23 | A1–A9, B1–B9 I/O | 9-bit bidirectional data ports - A-side and B-side pins support simultaneous or directional transfer based on OE states. |
| OEAB1, OEAB2 (pins 3, 4) | A→B Output Enable (active-low) | Both must be low to enable A-to-B transmission; high disables A-side drivers into high-Z. |
| OEBA1, OEBA2 (pins 22, 21) | B→A Output Enable (active-low) | Both must be low to enable B-to-A transmission; high disables B-side drivers into high-Z. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic - requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 24 | VCC | Core supply input - bypassing with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor near pin essential for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates external translators in 3.3/5-V hybrid backplanes. |
| Partial-power-down support | Ioff limits leakage to ±10 µA when powered down - enables hot-swap and dynamic power gating in modular systems. |
| Controlled output switching | VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V - reduces switching noise coupling into adjacent traces and power rails. |
| High-speed 3-state timing | ten = 7.2 ns, tdis = 6.3 ns at 3.3 V - ensures clean bus release before new driver activation, preventing contention. |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - withstands transient overvoltage events without destructive latch-up in noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Peripheral Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 9-bit bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC863APWR | Same silicon, identical electrical specs, TSSOP-24 reel packaging (2000 pcs), active status vs. PWLE's obsolete status. | No functional difference - suitable for new designs requiring volume procurement and long-term supply assurance. | Select SN74LVC863APWR for production ramp; SN74LVC863PWLE is obsolete and not recommended for new designs. |
| SN74LVC863ADBR | Same functionality, SSOP-24 (DB) package - 5.3-mm width vs. PW's 4.4-mm width; slightly higher θJA (63°C/W vs. 88°C/W). | Requires PCB footprint change; better thermal performance but larger board area; compatible with legacy SSOP tooling. | Choose SN74LVC863ADBR only if SSOP-24 is mandated by existing assembly infrastructure or thermal margin constraints exceed TSSOP capability. |
Compared with SN74LVC863PWLE, SN74LVC863APWR offers identical performance with assured supply continuity, while SN74LVC863ADBR trades compactness for thermal headroom and legacy compatibility - neither is pin-compatible without footprint redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74LVC863PWLE?
The SN74LVC863PWLE operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V on VCC. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V devices while powered from 3.3-V or lower rails. This range is fully specified across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Does SN74LVC863PWLE support partial power-down?
Yes, SN74LVC863PWLE includes Ioff circuitry that limits off-state current to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V and inputs/outputs are biased to 5.5 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-swap or staggered power sequencing - a key requirement for modular industrial systems.
What is the maximum propagation delay of SN74LVC863PWLE at 3.3 V?
The maximum propagation delay (tpd) of SN74LVC863PWLE is 6.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C. This value applies to both A→B and B→A directions under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω), supporting reliable operation in sub-10-ns timing-critical bus architectures.
How many enable inputs does SN74LVC863PWLE have, and what do they control?
SN74LVC863PWLE has four active-low enable inputs: OEAB1/OEAB2 control A→B direction, and OEBA1/OEBA2 control B→A direction. Both enables in a pair must be low to activate the corresponding data path; any high enable forces its side into high-impedance state - enabling precise bus arbitration.
Is SN74LVC863PWLE RoHS compliant?
Yes, SN74LVC863PWLE is RoHS compliant and classified as "Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br)" per TI's packaging documentation. It uses lead-free CU NIPDAU terminations and meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 (260°C, unlimited reflow), though it is marked obsolete and no longer in active production.
