Product details
Overview
74ACT280MTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS 9-bit parity generator/checker with TTL-compatible inputs, 7ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±24mA symmetrical output drive, and operation across 4.5–5.5V supply. It features ΣODD and ΣEVEN outputs, nine data inputs (A–I), and NC pin, used in error-detection circuits for bus-based computing and memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT280MTR datasheet, 74ACT280MTR pinout, 74ACT280MTR application, or 74ACT280MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include odd/even parity generation capability, 50Ω transmission line driving, ESD-hardened I/O (2kV), and compatibility with legacy 74-series logic interfaces in industrial control and telecom backplane designs.
Technical Context
The device implements combinational logic to count high-level inputs across nine data lines (A–I) and assert ΣODD or ΣEVEN based on parity state-no internal latching or clocking. Its C2MOS process enables rail-to-rail output swing and low quiescent ICC (4µA max).
All inputs accept TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), and outputs deliver matched |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA into 50Ω loads, ensuring clean edge integrity on controlled-impedance traces without external termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports standard 5V logic rails with ±10% tolerance |
| tPD (Typ.) | 7ns at VCC = 5V - enables sub-150MHz parity checking in synchronous buses |
| IOL / IOH | ≥24mA - drives 50Ω transmission lines directly without buffer stages |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0V min / 0.8V max - interoperates with TTL, NMOS, and CMOS outputs |
| ICC (Max) | 4µA at TA = 25°C - ultra-low static power for always-on diagnostic logic |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge in assembly environments |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
74ACT280MTR is supplied in a 14-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for surface-mount PCB assembly and thermal performance in dense logic layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 8–13 | A–I Data Inputs | Nine independent logic inputs determining parity state; TTL/CMOS compatible |
| 5, 6 | ΣEVEN, ΣODD | Complementary parity outputs - only one asserted high per input pattern |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection - must remain unconnected per design |
| 7 | GND | Logic ground reference - requires low-inductance return path for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 5mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical Output Drive | |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA ensures matched rise/fall times on 50Ω lines |
| Balanced Propagation Delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL minimizes skew between ΣODD and ΣEVEN assertion |
| Input Voltage Compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.0V / VIL ≤ 0.8V enables direct interface with 74LS, 74F, and 74HC families |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Enhanced C2MOS process prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 9-bit parity generation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT280M | SOP-14 package; identical electrical specs and pinout | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or wave-soldered legacy boards | Select when board layout or assembly process requires SOIC footprint |
| SN74ACT280N | DIP-14 package; same AC/DC characteristics but higher parasitic inductance | Suitable for breadboard evaluation or low-frequency (<10MHz) parity verification | Choose for manual testing or educational labs where TSSOP rework is impractical |
Compared with 74ACT280M and SN74ACT280N, the 74ACT280MTR offers superior high-frequency signal integrity via TSSOP's lower lead inductance and tighter trace routing-critical for >25MHz bus operation and EMI-sensitive environments.

FAQ
Is 74ACT280MTR pin-compatible with older 74LS280 devices?
Yes-74ACT280MTR maintains identical pinout and logic function with 74LS280, including A–I inputs, ΣODD/ΣEVEN outputs, GND, VCC, and NC pin. However, it operates at higher speed (7ns vs. ~25ns), draws far less quiescent current (4µA vs. ~20mA), and requires 4.5–5.5V supply instead of 4.75–5.25V.
Can 74ACT280MTR be cascaded for longer word lengths?
Yes-the device supports word-length expansion by connecting ΣODD or ΣEVEN outputs to additional 74ACT280 inputs. The truth table and symmetrical drive ensure predictable parity chaining across multiple ICs without added logic gates or timing uncertainty.
What is the significance of the NC pin (Pin 3)?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain floating-no pull-up, pull-down, or trace routing. Connecting it risks unintended current paths or noise coupling. This NC designation is confirmed in ST's official mechanical drawings and logic symbol diagrams for all 74ACT280 variants.
Does 74ACT280MTR require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes-a 100nF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCC (Pin 14) and GND (Pin 7) within 5mm of the package. This suppresses supply transients caused by simultaneous switching of nine inputs and dual outputs, preventing false parity assertions or ground bounce in high-density layouts.
