Product details
Overview
74VCX16827MTD from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage 20-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with byte-level 3-STATE control, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, ±24 mA drive at 3.0V VCC, and 2.5 ns max propagation delay (3.0–3.6V), deployed in memory address buses, clock distribution, and parity bus transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCX16827MTD datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include voltage range compatibility (1.2–3.6V), 3.6V I/O tolerance for mixed-supply interfacing, byte-wise output enable architecture, and TSSOP-56 thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The 74VCX16827MTD implements two independent 10-bit byte sections, each controlled by dual active-low NOR-enable inputs (OE1/OE2 for bits 0–9; OE3/OE4 for bits 10–19), enabling granular 3-STATE output control without cross-byte interference. All inputs and outputs tolerate up to 3.6V regardless of VCC level (1.2–3.6V).
It uses advanced CMOS fabrication for high-speed operation with low static power: ICC ≤ 20 µA typical, power-off high-impedance I/O, and patented noise/EMI reduction circuitry. Latch-up immunity exceeds 300 mA, and ESD withstands >2000V (HBM) and >200V (MM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 3.6V - supports direct interface with 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | −0.5V to +3.6V - enables safe connection to higher-voltage peripherals without level shifters |
| tPD Max | 2.5 ns @ 3.3V - ensures sub-400 MHz timing margin for high-speed address/data buffering |
| IOH/IOL Drive | ±24 mA @ 3.0V - drives standard 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without external buffers |
| 3-STATE Leakage | ±10 µA @ 1.2–3.6V - minimizes bus contention current during disable states |
| Power-Off Behavior | High-impedance I/O - prevents back-driving or leakage when VCC = 0V, critical for hot-swap systems |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
74VCX16827MTD is housed in a 56-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 6.1 mm wide, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Package number: MTD56.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEn (OE1–OE4) | Active-Low Byte Enable Inputs | Four independent NOR-type enables: OE1/OE2 control O0–O9; OE3/OE4 control O10–O19 |
| I0–I19 | Buffer Inputs | 20 single-ended CMOS-compatible inputs; 3.6V tolerant, no clamping diodes required |
| O0–O19 | Non-Inverting 3-STATE Outputs | 20 outputs with rail-to-rail swing (0V to VCC) and ±24 mA drive capability |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply Pins | One VCC and one GND per 10-bit byte section (pins 1/28 and 29/56); decoupling required per section |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Byte-Controlled 3-STATE Architecture | Independent OE pairs allow selective disabling of 10-bit segments-reduces bus contention and dynamic power in partial-width transfers |
| 3.6V-Tolerant I/O at Any VCC | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 5V peripherals in low-voltage systems |
| Live Insertion Support | Power-off high-impedance I/O and controlled enable sequencing enable hot-plug capability in modular backplane designs |
| Noise/EMI Reduction Circuitry | Patented slew-rate control minimizes simultaneous switching noise (SSN), easing PCB layout and reducing ground bounce |
| Low Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 20 µA ensures <1 µW static power per buffer at 1.2V-critical for battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Low-Voltage Clock Distribution |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Driving 20-bit address lines from a 1.8V microcontroller to a 3.3V SRAM or Flash device with shared data/address bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting voltage-tolerant buffer providing level-shifted, low-skew address propagation with byte-granular enable control.

Use Value: IOFF ≤ 10 µA at 0V VCC prevents backfeeding; OE tie-high via resistor ensures defined state during ramp-up (per Note 1). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 16-bit (not 20-bit); 3.3V-only VCC (1.65–3.6V); no 3.6V I/O tolerance; 24 mA drive @ 3.3V | Lacks byte-level enable granularity; requires external logic for 20-bit expansion; unsuitable for 1.2V–1.5V VCC domains | Select only if system operates strictly at 3.3V and 16-bit width suffices; verify I/O voltage limits against host peripherals |
| 74ALVC16827PAG | 20-bit, same pinout; 2.3–3.6V VCC only; 3.6V I/O tolerant; 24 mA drive @ 3.3V; tPD = 2.7 ns max | Not compatible below 2.3V; lacks 1.2V–2.2V operating range; identical byte-control and TSSOP-56 package | Use when VCC ≥ 2.3V and lower static power is not required; drop-in replacement for 74VCX16827MTD in 3.3V-only designs |

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the 74VCX16827MTD support for VCC and I/O?
The 74VCX16827MTD operates with VCC from 1.2V to 3.6V and supports input/output voltages from −0.5V to +3.6V regardless of VCC level. This allows direct interfacing with 3.3V peripherals while powered from 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V supplies-no level shifters required. The 74VCX16827MTD's absolute maximum ratings confirm safe operation up to 4.6V on I/O pins, but functional tolerance is specified to 3.6V.
How is the 3-STATE output control structured on the 74VCX16827MTD?
The 74VCX16827MTD features four active-low output enable inputs: OE1 and OE2 jointly control outputs O0–O9, while OE3 and OE4 jointly control O10–O19. Each pair functions as a NOR gate-both must be LOW for the corresponding 10-bit segment to drive; either HIGH places those outputs in high-impedance. This byte-level control enables partial bus isolation without affecting other segments, and OE pins tolerate 3.6V even at 1.2V VCC.
Does the 74VCX16827MTD support live insertion or hot-swap applications?
Yes-the 74VCX16827MTD supports live insertion per manufacturer Note 1: its inputs and outputs enter high-impedance when VCC = 0V (power-off leakage ≤10 µA), and OE pins can be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor to ensure defined states during power-up/down sequencing. This behavior, combined with 3.6V-tolerant I/O, makes the 74VCX16827MTD suitable for modular backplane and hot-plug card applications where undervoltage or unpowered conditions occur.
What is the maximum propagation delay and output skew for the 74VCX16827MTD?
At VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V, the 74VCX16827MTD guarantees tPHL/tPLH ≤ 2.5 ns (CL = 30 pF, RL = 500Ω), and output-to-output skew tOSLH/tOSHL ≤ 0.5 ns under the same conditions. Skew is measured between any two outputs switching in the same direction, ensuring tight timing correlation across all 20 bits-critical for address and clock distribution where phase alignment affects setup/hold margins.
Can the 74VCX16827MTD drive standard 50Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes-the 74VCX16827MTD delivers ±24 mA output drive at 3.0V VCC, sufficient to drive 50Ω terminated lines (requiring ~20 mA for 1V swing) with margin. Its VOL ≤ 0.55V and VOH ≥ 2.2V at 24 mA load meet standard LVCMOS thresholds, and patented noise/EMI reduction circuitry controls edge rates to minimize reflections and crosstalk. For longer traces or tighter impedance control, series termination remains recommended-but no external buffer is needed.
