Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16821DGGS from Nexperia is a 20-bit bus-interface D-type flip-flop with dual 10-bit edge-triggered registers, positive-edge clocking, and independent 3-state output control per section. It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, delivers ±24 mA drive at 3.0 V, and integrates bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull resistors. It is used in high-density data path buffering and level translation between mixed-voltage logic domains in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16821DGGS datasheet, 74ALVCH16821DGGS pinout, 74ALVCH16821DGGS application, or 74ALVCH16821DGGS equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-section independent enable timing, TSSOP56 package thermal performance, bus-hold input robustness, and guaranteed 350 MHz operation at 3.3 V with 50 pF load.
Technical Context
This device implements two fully independent 10-bit D-flip-flop sections (Section 1: pins 1D0–1D9/1Q0–1Q9; Section 2: 2D0–2D9/2Q0–2Q9), each with dedicated rising-edge clock (1CP/2CP) and active-low output enable (1OE/2OE). The bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on all 20 data inputs without external components.
Its MULTIBYTE™ flow-through pinout minimizes signal skew across byte lanes, while low-inductance multiple VCC/GND pins suppress ground bounce. The function table confirms that output enable state has no effect on internal register storage-only output impedance.

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching address/data signals between a 3.3 V microcontroller and a 2.5 V FPGA-based peripheral module on a shared backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-section register synchronizes and buffers bidirectional 20-bit data lanes while maintaining voltage domain separation. Use Value: Eliminates external level shifters and pull resistors; ±24 mA drive ensures clean signal integrity over 10 cm backplane traces. |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding burst-mode read data from a 1.8 V LPDDR2 controller before presenting it to a 3.3 V system management unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a voltage-tolerant, edge-triggered latch enabling safe handoff between disparate memory subsystems. Use Value: Bus-hold prevents metastability during idle cycles; 4.5 ns propagation delay preserves setup/hold timing budgets. |
| Programmable Logic I/O Expansion | Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count on a CPLD by latching parallel configuration data from a host MCU before driving high-capacitance test fixtures.

Use Scenario: Synchronizing and conditioning 20-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) output streams in automated test equipment before digitization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered register captures ADC samples with precise timing alignment and drives long cables via 50 Ω-terminated outputs. Use Value: Output drive capability eliminates external line drivers; low propagation delay (<5 ns) preserves sample timing accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit bus-interface flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16821DGGR | Same die, identical electrical specs, but green RoHS-compliant TSSOP56 package (SOT364-1) with matte tin finish | No functional difference; used where lead-free finish and JEDEC-compliant marking are required | Select when RoHS compliance and IPC/JEDEC-standard surface finish are mandatory for assembly |
| 74LVC16374ADGG | 20-bit dual D-flip-flop with 3-state outputs, but lacks bus-hold; max VCC = 3.6 V only; lower drive (±24 mA at 3.3 V, not 3.0 V) | Requires external pull resistors on unused inputs; less robust in noisy industrial environments | Choose only if bus-hold is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs design-in simplicity and noise immunity |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16821DGGR, the 74ALVCH16821DGGS offers identical functionality but may differ in marking or plating specification; compared with 74LVC16374ADGG, it provides superior noise immunity via bus-hold and broader voltage flexibility (1.2–3.6 V vs. 1.65–3.6 V), making it more suitable for mixed-supply systems.

FAQ
Does the 74ALVCH16821DGGS support hot insertion or live insertion into powered-backplane systems?
No. The device does not include hot-swap protection circuitry. Absolute maximum ratings specify VI input voltage up to VCC + 0.5 V, but sustained overvoltage or current injection during live insertion can exceed clamping limits. External protection (e.g., series resistors, TVS diodes) is required for hot-plug scenarios.
Can both sections operate at different supply voltages simultaneously?
No. The device has a single VCC pin set (four pins tied internally) and one GND reference. All logic and I/O operate from the same supply rail. Mixed-voltage operation requires external level-shifting circuitry between sections or use of separate devices.
What is the impact of bus-hold activation on power consumption during static operation?
Bus-hold draws ±75 μA typical per input at VCC = 3.0 V when held near VIH or VIL thresholds. With all 20 inputs floating, worst-case additional ICC is ~1.5 mA. This is included in the 40 µA max static supply current spec under VI = VCC or GND conditions.
Is the 74ALVCH16821DGGS pin-compatible with older 74ALVCH16821 variants in SSOP56 (SOT371-1) packages?
No. The TSSOP56 (SOT364-1) package has different mechanical dimensions, lead pitch (0.5 mm vs. 0.635 mm), and pin mapping. While logic function and DC/AC specs are identical, PCB layout and footprint are not interchangeable; redesign is required for package substitution.
