Product details
Overview
74ALVT162821DGG512 from Nexperia is a 20-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with integrated 30 Ω series output termination resistors, dual independent clock (1CP/2CP) and output enable (1OE/2OE) controls, and bus-hold inputs - designed for high-speed 3.3 V or 2.5 V bus interface applications in telecom backplanes and industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVT162821DGG512 datasheet, 74ALVT162821DGG512 pinout, 74ALVT162821DGG512 application, or 74ALVT162821DGG512 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 150 MHz maximum clock frequency, ±12 mA output drive, overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs, and TSSOP56 package with 56-pin 0.5 mm pitch for dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device implements two independent 10-bit D-register sections sharing no internal signal paths - each section features separate clock and output-enable inputs, enabling asynchronous latching of two data streams. Its 30 Ω on-die series termination eliminates external resistors for controlled-impedance trace interfaces.
The IC supports live insertion/extraction and includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down operation, bus-hold inputs to maintain valid logic states on unused pins without external pull-ups, and power-up 3-state behavior to prevent bus contention during system boot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 20-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop, configurable as two independent 10-bit registers |
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports both 2.5 V and 3.3 V system rails with guaranteed operation across full range |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-throughput data capture in synchronous bus interfaces |
| Output Drive | +12 mA / −12 mA - sufficient to drive terminated 50 Ω transmission lines directly |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | 5.5 V - allows safe interfacing with 5 V TTL logic without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | 3.2 ns typical (VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed designs |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP56 (SOT364-1), plastic thin shrink small outline, 56 leads, 6.1 mm body width, 0.5 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CP, 2CP | Clock input (rising edge) | Separate clocks for 10-bit sections; triggers register update on LOW-to-HIGH transition |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Independent 3-state control per 10-bit section; HIGH forces outputs to high-impedance |
| 1D0–1D9, 2D0–2D9 | Data inputs | 20 total D inputs; bus-hold circuitry maintains last valid state when floating |
| 1Q0–1Q9, 2Q0–2Q9 | Data outputs | 20 total Q outputs; each includes 30 Ω series resistor for impedance matching |
| VCC (pins 7, 22, 35, 50) | Power supply | Multiple VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve power integrity |
| GND (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 30 Ω output termination | Eliminates need for 20 discrete 30 Ω series resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Bus-hold inputs | Maintains valid logic levels on unconnected or unterminated data inputs without external pull-ups |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents current flow through inputs/outputs when VCC = 0 V, enabling hot-swap capability |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain in high-impedance state until VCC stabilizes, preventing bus conflicts at power-on |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V input signals while powered from 2.5 V or 3.3 V, simplifying mixed-voltage interconnect |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus interface register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVTH162821DGGR | TI part in 56-pin TSSOP; identical 20-bit dual-register function but uses 24 mA drive and lacks integrated 30 Ω termination | Requires external 30 Ω series resistors per output; higher drive may increase EMI in noise-sensitive systems | Select when higher output current is needed and board space permits external termination |
| 74LVC16374APAG | IDT (now Renesas) 20-bit D-flip-flop in TSSOP56; no integrated termination, 3.6 V max VCC, 24 mA drive | Higher output drive but no bus-hold or IOFF; not overvoltage tolerant beyond 3.6 V | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where external termination and pull-ups are acceptable |
Compared with SN74ALVTH162821DGGR and 74LVC16374APAG, the 74ALVT162821DGG512 uniquely integrates 30 Ω termination and bus-hold functionality in a single package - reducing component count and improving signal integrity on high-speed parallel buses without layout compromises.

The 74ALVT162821DGG512 supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and supply voltage range (2.3 V to 3.6 V), as verified in the dynamic characteristics table of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 6.
Does the 74ALVT162821DGG512 require external termination resistors?
No, the 74ALVT162821DGG512 does not require external termination resistors because it integrates 30 Ω series resistors on all 20 outputs - explicitly confirmed in the General Description and Features sections of the Nexperia datasheet.
Can the 74ALVT162821DGG512 interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?
Yes, the 74ALVT162821DGG512 supports 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs, allowing direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs while operating from a 2.5 V or 3.3 V supply - a feature documented in Section 2 (Features and benefits) and Table 5 (Recommended operating conditions).
How many ground and supply pins does the 74ALVT162821DGG512 have?
The 74ALVT162821DGG512 has eight GND pins (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53) and four VCC pins (pins 7, 22, 35, 50), as specified in the Pin configuration diagram (Fig. 5) and Pin description table (Table 2) of the Nexperia datasheet.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold feature on the 74ALVT162821DGG512?
The bus-hold feature on the 74ALVT162821DGG512 actively maintains the last valid logic state on unused or unterminated data inputs - eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors and preventing floating inputs from causing metastability or excessive current draw.
