Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output drive current of the SN74BCT623DWRE4?
The SN74BCT623DWRE4 provides a maximum output low current (IOL) of 64mA at 0.5V output voltage on port A, along with 3mA output high current (IOH) at 2.4V. This high drive strength allows it to sink significant bus currents on heavily loaded digital buses in backplane and multi-card computing systems.
Is the SN74BCT623DWRE4 bidirectional?
Yes, the SN74BCT623DWRE4 is a bidirectional 8-bit bus transceiver with independent direction control. The DIR pin determines whether data flows from port A to port B or from port B to port A, enabling the device to serve as a full bidirectional interface for read and write operations on shared 8-bit data buses.
What package is the SN74BCT623DWRE4 available in?
The SN74BCT623DWRE4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with wide-body SOIC-20 form factor, suitable for surface-mount PCB assembly. The tape-and-reel packaging indicated by the R suffix makes it compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place manufacturing for high-volume production.
What is the difference between the SN74BCT623 and other 8-bit bus transceivers?
The SN74BCT623DWRE4 belongs to the BCT (BiCMOS Technology) logic family, which combines bipolar output transistors with CMOS inputs to deliver higher output drive strength than pure CMOS transceivers like the 74LCX245. The BCT family provides IOL of 64mA compared to 8-12mA typical for CMOS parts, making it preferable in heavy bus load applications such as VME backplane and ISA bus systems.
