Product details
Overview
SNJ54LS640FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow control in TTL-compatible 8-bit parallel buses. It features dual active-low output-enable inputs (OE1̅, OE2̅), independent direction control (DIR), and operates across –55°C to +125°C. Used in avionics backplanes and radiation-tolerant industrial controllers where high-reliability level-shifting and bus isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54LS640FK datasheet, SNJ54LS640FK pinout, SNJ54LS640FK application, or SNJ54LS640FK equivalent, key selection criteria include its LCCC-20 ceramic package, dual enable logic, DIR-controlled bidirectional operation, guaranteed military temperature range, and compatibility with legacy LS-TTL bus architectures.
Technical Context
The SNJ54LS640FK implements an 8-bit non-inverting transceiver architecture with separate control paths for direction (DIR) and output enable (OE1̅, OE2̅). Its dual OE inputs allow independent gating of A-to-B and B-to-A data paths, enabling flexible bus arbitration in multiprocessor systems.
All eight data channels share identical DC electrical characteristics: typical propagation delay of 15 ns (A→B), 17 ns (B→A); output drive capability of –15 mA sink / 0.4 mA source at VCC = 5 V; and input thresholds aligned to standard LS-TTL levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LCCC-20 (FK) package: 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm ceramic chip carrier with 20 I/O pads arranged in a 5×4 grid (no leads); 1.27 mm pitch; 2.03 mm max height; hermetic seal; suitable for high-reliability solder-reflow or epoxy-bond assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side A - connects to local processor or controller bus |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side B - interfaces to memory, peripheral, or backplane bus |
| DIR | Direction control input | High = A→B transfer; Low = B→A transfer - determines data flow direction |
| OE1̅ | Active-low output enable 1 | Low enables A→B path; High disables A→B outputs to high-impedance state |
| OE2̅ | Active-low output enable 2 | Low enables B→A path; High disables B→A outputs to high-impedance state |
| VCC | Positive supply | 5 V nominal power connection - must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS645FK | Same pinout and function but includes separate A/B-side output enables (OEA, OEB) instead of OE1̅/OE2̅; identical timing and temp range | Enables finer-grained per-port control in systems requiring asymmetric bus loading or staggered enable sequencing | Select SNJ54LS645FK when independent A-side and B-side output gating is required beyond directional control |
| SN54LS245J | 8-bit non-inverting transceiver with single DIR and single OE̅; CDIP-20 package; same military temp range but no dual-OE architecture | Lacks independent A→B/B→A gating - suitable only for simple unidirectional or fully synchronized bidirectional use cases | Choose SN54LS245J for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where dual-OE functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with SNJ54LS640FK, SNJ54LS645FK adds per-port output enable granularity without changing timing or thermal specs, while SN54LS245J reduces control flexibility to achieve lower unit cost and broader distributor availability - trade-offs center on bus arbitration complexity versus procurement simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54LS640FK?
The SNJ54LS640FK is not a clocked device and has no internal clock - it is a combinatorial bus transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on system-level timing margins. With typical propagation delays of 15–17 ns and setup/hold times under 10 ns, SNJ54LS640FK supports reliable operation in synchronous bus systems up to approximately 20 MHz when paired with matched trace lengths and proper termination.
Does SNJ54LS640FK require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, SNJ54LS640FK does not require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs. Its outputs are designed for direct connection to LS-TTL inputs and exhibit defined high-impedance states with leakage currents below ±5 µA. Pull-ups are only needed if interfacing with CMOS loads or open-drain buses - not for standard LS-TTL bus termination.
Can SNJ54LS640FK be used in commercial-temperature applications?
Yes, SNJ54LS640FK is fully functional across 0°C to +70°C and can be used in commercial applications. However, its military-specification screening, hermetic LCCC packaging, and extended –55°C to +125°C rating make it overqualified - users should evaluate cost and availability trade-offs against commercial alternatives like SN74LS640N when military reliability is not required.
What is the meaning of "SNJ" prefix in SNJ54LS640FK?
The "SNJ" prefix identifies the part as a Texas Instruments military-grade product meeting MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. It denotes full QML certification, extended temperature qualification (–55°C to +125°C), rigorous screening (including burn-in and lot acceptance testing), and traceable manufacturing - distinguishing it from commercial "SN74" or standard military "SN54" variants.
How does the DIR pin function in SNJ54LS640FK?
The DIR pin in SNJ54LS640FK controls data flow direction: when DIR = HIGH, data passes from port A to port B (A→B); when DIR = LOW, data passes from port B to port A (B→A). This non-inverting directional control operates independently of the OE1̅ and OE2̅ enables, allowing direction to remain stable while outputs are gated into high-impedance states.
