Product details
Overview
74ACT16827DL from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit noninverting buffer/driver IC with dual 10-bit sections, 3-state outputs, TTL-compatible inputs, and flow-through pin architecture in a 56-pin shrink small-outline package (SSOP-DL). It operates from –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and supports high-speed bus interfacing with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11 ns.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16827DL datasheet, 74ACT16827DL pinout, 74ACT16827DL application, or 74ACT16827DL equivalent, key selection considerations include dual independent 3-state enable control (1OE1/1OE2, 2OE1/2OE2), distributed VCC/GND for noise suppression, EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process, 500-mA latch-up immunity, and compatibility with legacy Widebus™ system designs.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16827DL implements two independent 10-bit noninverting buffer sections, each requiring both OE inputs low to activate outputs; either OE high forces that section into high-impedance state. Its flow-through architecture routes inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side, minimizing trace crossovers and signal integrity degradation.
Distributed VCC and GND pins across the 56-pin DL package reduce simultaneous switching noise, while EPIC™ process ensures 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and TTL-voltage compatibility (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) for mixed-logic interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rails with margin for ripple and drop. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to directly drive terminated bus lines without external buffers in high-speed digital systems. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11 ns @ 5 V - Enables reliable timing in 20-MHz+ data paths with tight setup/hold margins. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) - Allows direct connection to legacy 74LS/TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 3-State Enable Logic | AND-gated dual OE per 10-bit section - Provides granular bus isolation: either OE high disables all 10 outputs of that section. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.4 W max @ TA = 55°C - Supports continuous operation in compact, convection-cooled PCB layouts. |
| Input Capacitance | Ci = 4.5 pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge rates in fanout-critical nodes. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16827DL is housed in a 56-pin shrink small-outline package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, 25-mil center-to-center pin pitch, with 7.87 mm tube width and 14.24 mm tube width per TI packaging data.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Section Output Enable Inputs | AND logic per 10-bit section: both OE must be low for Y outputs to be active; any high forces high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Buffer Inputs | Noninverting data inputs for respective 10-bit sections; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds. |
| 1Y1–1Y10, 2Y1–2Y10 | Buffer Outputs | 3-state outputs capable of ±24 mA drive; high-Z when corresponding OE pair is not asserted. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 36, 46) | Power Supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and supply noise coupling across the 20-bit bus interface. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 18, 27, 33, 40, 49) | Ground Reference | Seven dedicated GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and suppress simultaneous switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input pins on left/right edges and outputs on opposite side - eliminates layer jumps and reduces PCB routing congestion in dense bus layouts. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Two separate OE pairs per 10-bit section - enables selective isolation of subsystems on shared data buses without global disable. |
| EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process | 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C - ensures robustness in industrial environments with transient overvoltage or ESD events. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and seven GND pins - lowers power delivery impedance and contains high-frequency noise within local supply domains. |
| Widebus™ family compatibility | Pinout and AC/DC specs aligned with TI's Widebus™ standard - simplifies migration from earlier 74ACT16224/16244 devices. |
Applications
| Backplane Data Bus Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing microcontroller parallel ports to multi-slot backplane buses with termination and hot-swap requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 20-bit buffer isolating CPU address/data bus from backplane segments; 3-state control enables dynamic slot arbitration. Use Value: Dual OE logic allows per-slot enable/disable without affecting other modules; flow-through layout simplifies 4-layer backplane routing. |
Use Scenario: Extending digital I/O capacity in modular programmable logic controllers using standardized carrier boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and bus-driving interface between FPGA-based controller and 24-V discrete I/O modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed output driver stage translating pattern generator core outputs to DUT interface levels. Use Value: 11 ns max propagation delay and 4.5 pF input capacitance preserve sub-20-ns edge fidelity across full 20-bit width. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and buffering 20-bit address lines between CPU and multiple memory banks in retro-computing or avionics maintenance systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting address latch/buffer with 3-state capability for memory bank selection and bus sharing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT16244DGGR | 16-bit (not 20-bit); 44-pin TSSOP; identical AC/DC specs and OE architecture per 4-bit group. | Lacks two bits per section; requires two devices for 20-bit coverage; higher board area and interconnect complexity. | Select only if 16-bit granularity suffices and space constraints favor TSSOP over SSOP-DL. |
| 74ACT16224DL | 20-bit but inverting; same DL package, pinout, and timing; identical VCC/GND distribution and EPIC™ process. | Requires logic inversion in upstream design; unsuitable where signal polarity must be preserved end-to-end. | Choose only when inverting function aligns with system-level signal flow (e.g., complemented address decoding). |
Compared with SN74ACT16244DGGR and 74ACT16224DL, the 74ACT16827DL uniquely delivers noninverting 20-bit buffering in a single DL package with dual AND-gated OE control-enabling precise per-section bus isolation without polarity change or device count increase.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74ACT16827DL?
The 74ACT16827DL is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This range is explicitly defined in the recommended operating conditions table of the SCAS163A datasheet, and distinguishes it from the military-grade 54ACT16827 variant rated for –55°C to 125°C.
How does the dual output-enable logic work on the 74ACT16827DL?
Each 10-bit section of the 74ACT16827DL uses AND-gated enable logic: for outputs 1Y1–1Y10 to be active, both 1OE1 and 1OE2 must be low; if either is high, all ten outputs go high-impedance. The same applies to 2OE1/2OE2 controlling 2Y1–2Y10. This design prevents partial enable states and ensures deterministic bus isolation.
Is the 74ACT16827DL pin-compatible with other Widebus™ 20-bit buffers?
No - the 74ACT16827DL has a unique 56-pin DL package pinout optimized for flow-through routing, differing from the 54-pin packages used by 74ACT16224DL and 74ACT16373DL. While functionally similar, its pin assignment (e.g., distributed VCC/GND, OE placement) is specific to the 74ACT16827DL and not interchangeable without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74ACT16827DL?
The 74ACT16827DL supports ±24 mA DC output current per pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C), verified in the electrical characteristics table. This rating enables direct driving of terminated 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external amplification.
Does the 74ACT16827DL require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per Note 3 in the datasheet, all unused inputs on the 74ACT16827DL must be held static at VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause excessive ICC current, increased noise susceptibility, or undefined output behavior. Leaving inputs unconnected violates recommended operating conditions and risks functional instability.
