Product details
Overview
TC74AC640FTEL from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state inverting output logic, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data bus communication between two 8-bit systems. It operates across 2.0–5.5 V supply, delivers 24 mA output drive at 4.5 V, and achieves 4.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V - enabling high-speed interface isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the TC74AC640FTEL datasheet, TC74AC640FTEL pinout, TC74AC640FTEL application, or TC74AC640FTEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting transceiver function, SOP20 package compatibility with 74F640, wide voltage operation, and guaranteed 3-state isolation timing (tPZL/tPZH ≤ 7.0 ns typ. at 5.0 V).
Technical Context
The TC74AC640FTEL implements a dual-bus directional interface controlled by DIR and active-low G inputs: DIR = L enables A→B data flow with inversion; DIR = H enables B→A with inversion; G = H forces all outputs into high-impedance state. Its C2MOS silicon gate process ensures TTL-compatible speed without bipolar power penalties.
All 16 I/O pins are protected against ESD and transient overvoltage, and the device requires external pull-up/pull-down resistors on floating bus lines per design guidelines. Propagation delays tPLH and tPHL are balanced (≤0.5 ns skew), supporting clean signal integrity in synchronous bus handshaking applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal 3-state inverting bus transceiver - supports bidirectional data transfer with polarity inversion on both directions |
| Propagation Delay | 4.8 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5.0 V - enables ≤200 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA (min.) at VCC = 4.5 V - drives 50 Ω transmission lines directly per AC spec note |
| Input Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28 % VCC (min.) - rejects >1.4 V noise on 5 V buses, improving robustness in noisy industrial environments |
| Quiescent Current | 8.0 µA (max.) at Ta = 25 °C - supports low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOP20 (Small Outline Package, 20-pin, 0.65 mm pitch, 12.8 mm × 7.6 mm body, 0.22 g typical weight) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B footprint MS-013.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Pin 1) | Active-low Output Enable | Drives all A/B bus outputs to high-impedance when HIGH; must be LOW for functional data transfer |
| DIR (Pin 2) | Data Direction Control | LOW = A→B (inverted); HIGH = B→A (inverted); defines bus ownership dynamically |
| A0–A7 (Pins 3–10) | Port A Bus I/O | 8-bit bidirectional inverting I/O port - connects to local system bus; requires external termination when floating |
| B0–B7 (Pins 12–19) | Port B Bus I/O | 8-bit bidirectional inverting I/O port - connects to remote system bus; electrically isolated from A-port when G = HIGH |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Positive Supply | Single 2.0–5.5 V rail powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| GND (Pin 11) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all signals and supply current; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting Transceiver Logic | Ensures signal polarity inversion on both A→B and B→A paths - simplifies differential bus designs requiring complementary signaling |
| Pin- and Function-Compatible with 74F640 | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy TTL-based systems without PCB redesign or firmware changes |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL Delays | ≤0.5 ns skew between rising/falling edge propagation - preserves duty cycle integrity in clock-forwarding or strobe-synchronized interfaces |
| Wide-Voltage 3-State Isolation | Maintains <0.44 µA OFF-state leakage across full 2.0–5.5 V range - prevents unintended bus loading during power sequencing |
| ESD-Protected Inputs | Withstands ≥20 mA input diode current per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 - reduces need for external TVS on board-level bus connectors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AC640SCX (ON Semiconductor) | Same logic function and SOP20 package; tPD = 5.5 ns (typ.) at 5 V; ICC = 4 µA (max.) at 25 °C | Marginally slower propagation but lower quiescent current; identical pinout and truth table | Preferred where ultra-low standby power is prioritized over maximum speed |
| SN74ACT640N (Texas Instruments) | ACT-family variant; VCC = 4.5–5.5 V only; IOH/IOL = ±24 mA; tPD = 5.2 ns (typ.) at 5 V | Narrower supply range excludes 3.3 V direct operation; higher drive strength at 5 V with tighter VOH/VOL specs | Chosen when interfacing exclusively with 5 V TTL/CMOS loads and tighter output voltage margins are required |

FAQ
What is the logic function of the TC74AC640FTEL?
The TC74AC640FTEL is an octal 3-state inverting bus transceiver. When DIR = LOW and G = LOW, data flows from Port A to Port B with inversion; when DIR = HIGH and G = LOW, data flows from Port B to Port A with inversion; when G = HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance state. This function is confirmed in the truth table and functional description of the official Toshiba datasheet Rev.1.0.A.
Does the TC74AC640FTEL support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, the TC74AC640FTEL supports 3.3 V operation fully - its specified operating voltage range is 2.0 V to 5.5 V, and AC characteristics including tPLH/tPHL = 6.4 ns (typ.) and tPZL/tPZH = 5.9 ns (typ.) are explicitly tested at VCC = 3.3 ± 0.3 V per Section 11.3 of the Toshiba datasheet Rev.1.0.A.
What package type is used for the TC74AC640FTEL?
The TC74AC640FTEL uses the SOP20 package - a 20-pin small outline plastic package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 12.8 mm × 7.6 mm body size, and 0.22 g typical weight, as documented in the "Package Dimensions" section (Page 7) of the Toshiba TC74AC245F/TC74AC640F datasheet Rev.1.0.A.
