Product details
Overview
74HCT280PWJ from Nexperia is a 9-bit TTL-level odd/even parity generator/checker IC in TSSOP14 package, delivering PE (even parity) and PO (odd parity) outputs with propagation delay as low as 18 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF, operating across -40 °C to +125 °C, and used in data integrity verification for industrial bus interfaces and memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT280PWJ datasheet, 74HCT280PWJ pinout, 74HCT280PWJ application, or 74HCT280PWJ equivalent, this page provides verified functional behavior, TTL-compatible input thresholds, thermal derating curves for TSSOP14, and cascading implementation guidance for multi-word parity systems.
Technical Context
The 74HCT280PWJ implements combinational logic to count HIGH states across nine inputs (I0–I8) and assert PE when the count is even, PO when odd-no internal latching or clocking. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families.
Propagation delay varies with supply voltage and load: tpd = 21–63 ns (In→PE/PO) over VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and temperature range -40 °C to +125 °C, with output drive capability of ±4.0 mA at VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V under specified conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 9-bit combinational odd/even parity generation and checking - no clock required, immediate output assertion on input change |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level: VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - ensures interoperability with standard 5 V microcontrollers and bus transceivers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V system rails with ±10% tolerance, excluding wider 2–6 V HC variant |
| Propagation Delay | 21 ns (typ) In→PE at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - determines maximum data rate in parity-checked parallel buses |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - supports extended-temperature industrial and automotive-adjacent control modules |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA at VOH ≥ 3.98 V / VOL ≤ 0.26 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS/TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 160 μA (max) at VCC = 5.5 V, -40 °C to +125 °C - enables low-static-power system-level error detection |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I6 | Data input bit 6 - one of nine dedicated inputs; tied HIGH/LOW or driven by parallel bus line |
| 2 | I7 | Data input bit 7 - contributes to parity count; no internal pull-up/down |
| 3 | n.c. | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per design, not used for signal routing |
| 4 | I8 | Data input bit 8 - MSB of 9-bit group; critical for full-word parity coverage |
| 5 | PE | Even parity output - HIGH when even number of I0–I8 are HIGH; drives downstream error flag logic |
| 6 | PO | Odd parity output - HIGH when odd number of I0–I8 are HIGH; used for dual-check architectures |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal gates and output drivers; bypass capacitor (100 nF) recommended at pin |
| 9 | I5 | Data input bit 5 - part of 9-bit set; shares same timing and loading characteristics as other inputs |
| 10 | I4 | Data input bit 4 - electrically identical to I0–I8; no input hysteresis or Schmitt trigger |
| 11 | I3 | Data input bit 3 - directly connected to internal parity tree; no series resistance or ESD diode limiting |
| 12 | I2 | Data input bit 2 - validated for 2000 V HBM ESD robustness per JS-001 Class 2 |
| 13 | I1 | Data input bit 1 - supports current-limiting resistor interface to voltages > VCC via integrated clamp diodes |
| 14 | I0 | Data input bit 0 - LSB of 9-bit group; functionally symmetric with all other inputs |

Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Bus | Legacy Memory Subsystem Integrity |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC280PW | CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V @ VCC = 4.5 V); higher propagation delay (20 ns typ) | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with TTL or 3.3 V logic; unsuitable for mixed-voltage 5 V systems | Select only if system uses pure CMOS signaling and lower power (<10 μA ICC) is prioritized over interface simplicity |
| SN74LS280N | Bipolar TTL technology; VIH = 2.0 V, but ICC = 24 mA typical - 300× higher static power | Limited to commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C); incompatible with extended-temperature designs | Choose only for legacy board replacements where footprint compatibility with DIP-14 is mandatory and power budget allows |
Compared with 74HC280PW and SN74LS280N, the 74HCT280PWJ uniquely balances TTL compatibility, extended temperature support, and micropower operation - making it optimal for new industrial designs requiring robust, low-overhead parity checking without MCU involvement.

FAQ
Can the 74HCT280PWJ be used with 3.3 V logic inputs?
No - the 74HCT280PWJ requires TTL-compatible input levels: VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. A 3.3 V logic HIGH may fall below the guaranteed VIH threshold, risking metastability or incorrect parity output. Level-shifting circuitry or use of the 74LVC280 is required for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum number of 74HCT280PWJ devices that can be cascaded for wider parity checking?
Up to nine 74HCT280PWJ devices can be cascaded: their PE outputs feed the I0–I8 inputs of a final-stage device. This configuration supports up to 81-bit parity (9 × 9 bits). Beyond nine, fan-out limitations and cumulative propagation delay (>500 ns) degrade timing margin and reliability.
Does the 74HCT280PWJ include internal pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No - all nine data inputs (I0–I8) are uncommitted CMOS/TTL inputs with no internal pull-up or pull-down resistors. Unused inputs must be externally tied HIGH or LOW to prevent floating states that cause excessive current draw and logic uncertainty.
How does the n.c. pin (pin 3) affect PCB layout or thermal performance?
Pin 3 is a true no-connect - internally unconnected and electrically isolated. It imposes no electrical constraints, but must not be soldered to ground or power planes. Thermal impact is negligible; however, maintaining standard TSSOP14 reflow profile and avoiding solder bridging ensures mechanical reliability.
