Product details
Overview
74LVC821ABQ,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 10-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 5 V tolerant inputs/outputs, 3-state bus interface capability, and operation across 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply. It features common clock (CP) and output enable (OE), supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, and delivers 200 MHz max clock frequency at 3.3 V for high-speed data latching in memory buffers and address/data registers.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC821ABQ,118 datasheet, 74LVC821ABQ,118 pinout, 74LVC821ABQ,118 application, or 74LVC821ABQ,118 equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, voltage-flexible register for bus-hold, level-shifting, and synchronous data capture in industrial control backplanes, FPGA I/O expansion, and legacy 5 V peripheral interfacing.
Technical Context
The 74LVC821ABQ,118 implements ten independent D-type latches triggered on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, with setup/hold timing validated down to 1.2 V supply. Its 3-state outputs are controlled solely by OE (active LOW), decoupled from flip-flop state retention - enabling transparent bus arbitration without disturbing stored data.
Input tolerance up to 5.5 V and output drive capability into 5 V loads allow direct connection to legacy TTL or 5 V CMOS logic without external level shifters. The device complies with JEDEC JESD8-B and operates over −40 °C to +125 °C, supporting automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC821APWRE4 | TSSOP24 package (4.4 mm width); identical electrical specs and pinout; slightly higher thermal resistance (4.5 mW/K derating above 60 °C) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where DHVQFN reflow compatibility is not required | Select when board assembly uses standard SMT pick-and-place with TSSOP support and thermal budget allows lower power dissipation |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the 74LVC821ABQ,118?
The 74LVC821ABQ,118 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +6.5 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Operation outside this range may cause excessive current draw or timing violations. The 74LVC821ABQ,118 maintains full functionality and timing compliance only within the 1.2–3.6 V window, with optimal speed and power trade-offs at 3.3 V.
Does the 74LVC821ABQ,118 support true 5 V logic level translation?
Yes, the 74LVC821ABQ,118 supports bidirectional 5 V translation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and outputs drive 5 V loads in 3-state mode. This allows the 74LVC821ABQ,118 to sit between 3.3 V controllers and 5 V peripherals without external components, provided VCC remains within 1.2–3.6 V and output loading stays within ±24 mA limits.
What is the function of the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN24 package of the 74LVC821ABQ,118?
On the 74LVC821ABQ,118 DHVQFN24 package, the exposed thermal pad is electrically isolated and bonded to the die substrate using conductive material solely for heat dissipation. It must be soldered to a large PCB copper pour for thermal management but cannot be used as a supply or signal pin. The 74LVC821ABQ,118 datasheet explicitly prohibits connecting this pad to VCC or GND.
Can the 74LVC821ABQ,118 operate reliably at +125 °C ambient temperature?
Yes, the 74LVC821ABQ,118 is fully specified and tested for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient. Its DHVQFN24 package includes thermal derating of 4.5 mW/K above 60 °C, and all DC and AC parameters - including propagation delay, setup/hold times, and output drive - are guaranteed across this full range. This makes the 74LVC821ABQ,118 suitable for under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial deployments.
How does the 3-state output control work on the 74LVC821ABQ,118?
The 74LVC821ABQ,118 uses pin 1 (OE) as an active LOW output enable. When OE = LOW, all ten Q outputs reflect the registered D-input states. When OE = HIGH, all Q outputs enter high-impedance (Z) state - independent of CP activity or internal flip-flop values. Critically, OE transitions do not affect stored data, allowing the 74LVC821ABQ,118 to maintain register integrity during bus arbitration.
