What are the key features of CD54HC243F?

  • Quad bidirectional bus transceiver with independent output-enable control for each direction, allowing flexible half-duplex bus sharing
  • HC/UH family CMOS logic operates from 2 V to 6 V supply with 50 pF load capacitance rating for robust bus driving
  • Military-grade ceramic DIP-14 package rated from -55°C to 125°C for harsh environment aerospace and defense applications

What is CD54HC243F used for?

The CD54HC243F is used in aerospace, defense, and industrial systems where bidirectional data bus buffering must operate reliably across the full -55°C to 125°C military temperature range. Its independent direction control per channel makes it suitable for multi-master bus architectures in ruggedized avionics and test equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range does the CD54HC243F support and which environments does that enable?

The CD54HC243F is rated for operation from -55°C to 125°C, covering the full military temperature range. This makes it suitable for avionics, space-qualified boards, and military ground vehicles where commercial-grade parts rated to only 85°C would fail under extreme thermal cycling.

How many transceiver channels does the CD54HC243F provide and how is direction controlled?

The CD54HC243F integrates 4 bidirectional transceiver channels, each with an independent output-enable pin that controls direction. This independent control allows the host system to individually gate each channel, supporting complex bus-sharing schemes without additional discrete logic.

What supply voltage range does the CD54HC243F accept and what load capacitance is it specified for?

The CD54HC243F operates from a 2 V to 6 V supply, covering both 3.3 V and 5 V logic families. It is characterized with a load capacitance of 50 pF per channel, ensuring reliable drive strength on backplane and PCB traces typical of VME and CPCI board designs.

Why might a designer choose the CD54HC243F over a plastic-packaged equivalent for a long-service avionics program?

The ceramic DIP-14 package of the CD54HC243F provides hermetic sealing and moisture resistance far superior to plastic packages, extending service life in humid or sealed enclosures. Combined with the -55°C to 125°C temperature rating, it meets MIL-STD-883 screening requirements needed for 20+ year avionics platform commitments.
