Product details
Overview
74ABT16821ADL,512 from Nexperia is a 20-bit bus-interface D-type flip-flop with positive-edge triggering and 3-state outputs, implemented in high-performance BiCMOS technology. It integrates two independent 10-bit edge-triggered registers, each with dedicated clock (nCP) and active-LOW output enable (nOE), delivering ±64 mA/−32 mA drive capability for driving heavily loaded buses, MOS memories, or microprocessors in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT16821ADL,512 datasheet, 74ABT16821ADL,512 pinout, 74ABT16821ADL,512 application, or 74ABT16821ADL,512 equivalent, this device supports high-speed synchronous data latching (fmax = 160 MHz), precise timing control (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.7 ns), and robust bus isolation (high-impedance OFF-state) in automotive-grade temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The 74ABT16821ADL,512 implements two fully independent 10-bit register sections, each synchronized to the rising edge of its dedicated clock input (1CP or 2CP). Each section's 10-bit parallel data input (1D0–1D9 or 2D0–2D9) is sampled one setup time before the LOW-to-HIGH transition and transferred to corresponding Q outputs (1Q0–1Q9 or 2Q0–2Q9).
Output enable (1OE/2OE) operates asynchronously and independently per section: when LOW, registered data appears at outputs; when HIGH, all ten outputs enter high-impedance OFF-state regardless of clock or register state. Multiple VCC/GND pins minimize switching noise, and power-up 3-state ensures safe initialization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 20-bit bus-interface D-type flip-flop with dual 10-bit registers and independent 3-state control |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL systems and tolerant of supply ripple |
| Max Clock Frequency | 160 MHz at −40 °C to +85 °C - enables high-throughput data capture in real-time control interfaces |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / −32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without external buffers |

Pinout & Package
74ABT16821ADL,512 uses the SSOP56 (SOT371-1) package: plastic shrink small outline, 56 leads, 7.5 mm body width, 0.635 mm lead pitch. Pin layout supports symmetrical power distribution with four VCC (pins 7, 22, 35, 50) and eight GND (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53) terminals to suppress ground bounce and supply noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-LOW output enable | Asynchronously disables all 10 outputs per section into high-Z; enables safe bus sharing |
| 1CP, 2CP | Rising-edge clock input | Samples D inputs on LOW-to-HIGH transition; tsu(H) = 1.8 ns ensures reliable capture at 160 MHz |
| 1D0–1D9, 2D0–2D9 | Data inputs | Parallel 10-bit input per register; accepts standard TTL logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) |
| 1Q0–1Q9, 2Q0–2Q9 | Registered outputs | Edge-triggered Q outputs with ±64 mA/−32 mA drive; support hot-plug live insertion/extraction |
| VCC (×4) | Supply voltage | Distributed power pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide die area |
| GND (×8) | Ground reference | Multiple low-inductance return paths minimize simultaneous switching noise (SSN) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive-edge triggered dual 10-bit register | Enables independent synchronization of two 10-bit data streams (e.g., address/data lanes) with no inter-section timing dependency |
| Asynchronous 3-state control per section | Allows dynamic bus arbitration: one register can drive while the other is tri-stated, eliminating contention |
| Power-up 3-state and reset | Guarantees outputs remain high-Z until VCC stabilizes, preventing spurious bus activity during power ramp |
| Latch-up protection > 500 mA | Meets JESD78B Class II Level A - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ESD stress |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Permits hot-swap replacement in modular backplanes without system shutdown or bus corruption |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-interface D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16821DLR | TI version in same SSOP56 package; identical pinout but different VOL spec (0.45 V max vs. 0.55 V) and lower IOL (64 mA vs. 128 mA absolute max) | Valid for 5 V systems requiring tighter VOL; not rated for 128 mA sink per output | Select SN74ABT16821DLR only if design requires <0.45 V VOL at 64 mA and TI supply chain preference applies |
| 74LVT16821ADL,118 | Nexperia LVT variant: 3.3 V supply only (3.0–3.6 V), lower drive (±32 mA), higher fmax (200 MHz), same pinout | Requires 3.3 V domain; unsuitable for 5 V legacy backplanes but better for mixed-voltage low-power systems | Choose 74LVT16821ADL,118 only when migrating to 3.3 V operation and needing higher speed with reduced power |
Compared with SN74ABT16821DLR and 74LVT16821ADL,118, the 74ABT16821ADL,512 uniquely balances 5 V compatibility, 128 mA absolute sink capability, and automotive temperature range-making it optimal for legacy industrial backplanes where voltage margin and ruggedness outweigh pure speed or low-voltage efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ABT16821ADL,512 across its full operating temperature range?
The 74ABT16821ADL,512 guarantees a maximum clock frequency of 160 MHz from −40 °C to +85 °C, as specified in Table 7 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 03. This value reflects worst-case timing across process, voltage, and temperature corners, ensuring reliable operation in industrial and automotive environments without derating.
Does the 74ABT16821ADL,512 support live insertion and extraction in powered-backplane systems?
Yes, the 74ABT16821ADL,512 explicitly supports live insertion and extraction, as confirmed in Section 2 "Features and benefits" of the datasheet. Its power-up 3-state behavior, robust ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V), and latch-up immunity (>500 mA) ensure safe hot-swap operation without disrupting bus integrity or damaging adjacent components.
How many power and ground pins does the 74ABT16821ADL,512 have, and why is this significant?
The 74ABT16821ADL,512 has four VCC pins (7, 22, 35, 50) and eight GND pins (4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53), as shown in Figure 4 and Table 2. This distributed power/ground architecture minimizes simultaneous switching noise (SSN), reduces ground bounce, and maintains stable VCC under high-output-drive conditions-critical for signal integrity in dense backplane layouts.
What is the output drive capability of the 74ABT16821ADL,512, and how does it compare to standard TTL?
The 74ABT16821ADL,512 delivers +64 mA sink and −32 mA source current per output, exceeding standard TTL (±20 mA) by over 3×. This high drive strength allows direct interfacing with heavily loaded buses, MOS memories, and microprocessor data/address lines without external buffer stages-reducing component count and PCB area.
Is the 74ABT16821ADL,512 pin-compatible with other packages in the same logic family?
No-the 74ABT16821ADL,512 is specific to the SSOP56 (SOT371-1) package. While the pin function mapping matches the TSSOP56 variant (74ABT16821ADGG), the physical dimensions, lead pitch (0.635 mm vs. 0.5 mm), and thermal characteristics differ. Direct PCB substitution requires layout revision due to mechanical incompatibility.
