Product details
Overview
7802401RA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 8-bit universal shift/storage register in CDIP-20 package, operating over –55°C to +125°C, with TTL-compatible inputs/outputs, 15 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and dual-mode operation (parallel load or bidirectional shift). It serves as a configurable data path element in legacy aerospace control logic and radiation-tolerant telemetry subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 7802401RA datasheet, 7802401RA pinout, 7802401RA application, or 7802401RA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, military temperature-range validation, CDIP-20 mechanical interface details, and direct alternatives for QML-qualified digital logic replacement programs.
Technical Context
The 7802401RA implements a synchronous 8-bit register with three-state outputs, selectable parallel-load or serial-shift functionality via S0/S1 mode controls, and independent serial input (SER IN) and output (SER OUT) terminals. Its internal architecture supports left/right shift, hold, and parallel data capture on a common clock edge.
It features TTL-level DC characteristics: VCC = 5 V ±5%, IOH = –0.4 mA at VOH = 2.4 V, IOL = 8 mA at VOL = 0.4 V, and guaranteed fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads. No internal pull-ups or level-shifting circuitry is present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit universal shift/storage register with parallel load, bidirectional serial shift, and three-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - requires stable regulated 5 V rail; not tolerant of undervoltage or overvoltage conditions |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended environmental resilience |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) - defines maximum clock frequency of ~30 MHz under nominal loading |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink / –0.4 mA source - compatible with standard LS-TTL loads without external buffering |
| Package | CDIP-20 (J) - hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line, 20-pin, through-hole mountable |
Pinout & Package
7802401RA is housed in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP-J), 0.300″ wide, with 0.100″ lead pitch and gold-plated leads. The package is hermetically sealed for high-reliability military use and supports wave or hand soldering per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered master clock input controlling all register operations |
| 2 | S0 | Mode select bit 0 - combined with S1 determines function (hold, shift right, shift left, load) |
| 3 | S1 | Mode select bit 1 - active-high logic pair with S0 for full 4-function selection |
| 4–11 | I0–I7 | Parallel data inputs - latched into register on rising CLK when S0=S1=1 |
| 12 | OE | Three-state output enable - low enables Q0–Q7; high forces high-impedance state |
| 13–20 | Q0–Q7 | Registered parallel outputs - reflect stored data or shifted result; tri-statable |
| 14 | SER IN | Serial input for right-shift mode - data enters LSB position during shift cycles |
| 15 | SER OUT | Serial output from MSB - provides cascading capability for multi-register chains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Universal shift mode selection | Four discrete functions (hold, shift left, shift right, parallel load) controlled by S0/S1 without external logic |
| Three-state parallel outputs | Enables bus-sharing in multi-register systems without external multiplexers or isolation gates |
| Military temperature qualification | Validated operation across –55°C to +125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening requirements |
| Direct cascade support | SER IN and SER OUT pins allow daisy-chaining multiple 7802401RA units for >8-bit shift lengths |
| TTL-compatible interface | Meets LS-TTL voltage thresholds and drive strength, ensuring interoperability with legacy 74LS logic families |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar universal shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS299J | Identical electrical specs, same CDIP-20 package, identical marking "7802401RA" per TI packaging addendum | No functional or mechanical difference; alternate orderable part number for same device | Select SNJ54LS299J only if procurement system requires explicit TI military nomenclature prefix |

FAQ
What is the full device identity and military qualification status of 7802401RA?
The 7802401RA is the Texas Instruments military-grade variant of the SN54LS299 8-bit universal shift/storage register, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B with screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing. It shares identical logic functionality, pinout, and DC/AC specifications with SNJ54LS299J and SN54LS299J, and is marked "7802401RA" on the CDIP-20 package body.
Does 7802401RA support bidirectional serial shifting, and how is direction controlled?
Yes, the 7802401RA supports both left and right serial shifting. Direction is selected by the S0 and S1 mode control inputs: S0=0/S1=1 enables right shift (SER IN → Q0), while S0=1/S1=0 enables left shift (Q7 → SER OUT). This is implemented in hard logic-no firmware or external decoding is required to change shift direction.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 7802401RA, and what limits it?
The 7802401RA supports a maximum clock frequency of approximately 30 MHz under nominal conditions, limited primarily by its 15 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and setup/hold time requirements of 20 ns. At –55°C or +125°C, derating to ≤20 MHz is recommended to maintain timing margin across temperature extremes.
Can 7802401RA be used in place of SN74LS299 in commercial designs?
No-7802401RA is not a drop-in replacement for SN74LS299 in commercial applications. While functionally identical, it operates over –55°C to +125°C, uses SNPB (tin-lead) finish, and lacks RoHS compliance. Using 7802401RA in commercial systems may violate environmental regulations and introduces unnecessary cost and thermal derating complexity unless extended temperature range is required.
Is there a RoHS-compliant, high-reliability alternative to 7802401RA?
No RoHS-compliant, QML-qualified direct alternative exists for 7802401RA. The nearest RoHS option is SN74LS299N (PDIP-20, 0°C to +70°C, NIPDAU finish), but it lacks military screening, extended temperature rating, and hermetic packaging. For RoHS + high-reliability requirements, redesign with modern ASIC or FPGA-based shift logic is recommended.
