Product details
Overview
CY74FCT821ATSOCT from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit positive-edge-triggered bus-interface register with 3-state outputs, designed for high-capacitance load drive and low-bus-loading operation in 5-V TTL-compatible systems. It features 6 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 64 mA sink / 32 mA source output drive, Ioff support for partial-power-down mode, and edge-rate control for improved noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT821ATSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT821ATSOCT pinout, CY74FCT821ATSOCT application, or CY74FCT821ATSOCT equivalent, this device is selected for high-IOL/IOH output port buffering, wide data/address bus expansion, and industrial control I/O interfacing where TTL-level compatibility and robust 3-state bus isolation are required.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent D-type flip-flops synchronized to the rising edge of CP, with separate 3-state output enable (OE) controlling all Y outputs simultaneously. Its architecture supports simultaneous data latching and bus release without internal contention.
Edge-rate control circuitry actively limits slew rate to reduce simultaneous switching noise, while matched rise/fall times ensure clean signal transitions. The Ioff feature disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking reverse current flow during partial power-down - critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 10 ns max at CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in 100-MHz bus cycles with margin |
| Output Drive Strength | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) without signal degradation |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow damage during partial power-down sequences |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight regulation ensures stable operation across industrial temperature range |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and control applications |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC 22 requirements for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin SOIC (DW), body width 7.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable input | Active-low control: OE = L enables Y outputs; OE = H places all Y pins in high-impedance state |
| 2–11 (D0–D9) | Data inputs | Synchronous parallel data inputs latched on CP rising edge; CMOS/TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 12 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| 13 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered register clock; data sampled only on low-to-high transition |
| 14–23 (Y0–Y9) | 3-state registered outputs | True (non-inverted) outputs reflecting latched D values when OE = L; high-Z when OE = H |
| 24 (VCC) | Power supply | +5 V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-Rate Control | Actively limits output slew rate to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) on shared buses |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | Ensures symmetrical signal edges (<1 ns skew), minimizing jitter and setup/hold violations |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections in mixed-supply systems |
| TTL-Compatible Input/Output Levels | Accepts standard TTL VIH/VIL and delivers TTL VOH/VOL - eliminates level-shifting components |
| Low Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 5–10 pF, Co = 9–12 pF - minimizes loading on driving sources and downstream receivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit registered bus-interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT821BTSOCT | Slower 7.5 ns max propagation delay; identical pinout, package, and Ioff functionality | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial systems where timing margin allows relaxed speed | Select when system clock frequency ≤ 80 MHz and lower dynamic power is prioritized |
| CY74FCT821CTSOCT | Faster 6 ns max propagation delay; same SOIC-24 package and electrical interface | Required for high-speed data acquisition or real-time control loops demanding minimal latency | Choose when tPLH/tPHL < 7 ns is mandatory and full 100-MHz bus timing closure is needed |
Compared with CY74FCT821BTSOCT and CY74FCT821CTSOCT, the CY74FCT821ATSOCT offers balanced performance: faster than the 'B' variant for improved timing margin, yet more power-efficient than the 'C' variant due to optimized drive strength - ideal for mid-speed industrial interfaces requiring reliability over raw speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT821ATSOCT?
CY74FCT821ATSOCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, it guarantees timing parameters including 10 ns max tPLH/tPHL and 4 ns min tsu (setup time). Based on these, the device reliably operates up to approximately 80 MHz in typical 50-pF load conditions - sufficient for most industrial bus and control applications. System-level timing analysis must include board trace delays and load capacitance.
Does CY74FCT821ATSOCT support hot-swap or live-insertion?
Yes, CY74FCT821ATSOCT supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits reverse current to ±1 µA, preventing damage during hot-swap events. However, proper sequencing of OE deassertion before power removal and use of series resistors on Y lines are recommended for full hot-swap robustness in backplane applications.
Can CY74FCT821ATSOCT drive a 150-pF bus capacitance?
CY74FCT821ATSOCT is characterized for CL = 50 pF and 300 pF loads, with tPLH/tPHL increasing from 10 ns to 20 ns at 300 pF. While it can drive 150-pF loads, timing margins will degrade - expect ~15 ns propagation delay and potential edge rounding. For guaranteed 150-pF operation, verify signal integrity with oscilloscope measurements and consider adding series termination if ringing occurs.
Is CY74FCT821ATSOCT pin-compatible with older 74FCT821 variants?
Yes, CY74FCT821ATSOCT shares identical 24-pin SOIC (DW) pinout and function mapping with CY74FCT821BTSOCT and CY74FCT821CTSOCT - all three use the same D0–D9, CP, OE, Y0–Y9, VCC, and GND assignments. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB changes, provided timing and drive requirements are verified.
What is the purpose of the edge-rate control circuitry in CY74FCT821ATSOCT?
The edge-rate control circuitry in CY74FCT821ATSOCT actively limits the slew rate of output transitions to reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN) on shared buses. This minimizes crosstalk and ground bounce in dense digital systems - especially critical in industrial environments with multiple high-drive devices sharing common return paths and long PCB traces.
