Product details
Overview
CY74FCT821BTSOCT 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 address/data path buffering. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, Ioff partial-power-down support, and 7.5-ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) at 50 pF load - ideal for industrial control I/O expansion and memory interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT821BTSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT821BTSOCT pinout, CY74FCT821BTSOCT application, or CY74FCT821BTSOCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input/output levels, matched rise/fall times, edge-rate controlled noise performance, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy FCT-family layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent D-type flip-flops clocked on the low-to-high transition of CP, with synchronous 3-state output control via OE. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during VCC = 0 V to prevent backflow current, enabling safe partial-power-down operation in mixed-voltage systems.
It uses FCT-family silicon with reduced VOH (typically 3.3 V at IOH = –15 mA), edge-rate control for EMI suppression, and full TTL-level compatibility - supporting direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level translation while maintaining low input/output capacitance (Ci = 5–10 pF, Co = 9–12 pF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 10-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type register with 3-state outputs |
| Propagation Delay | 7.5 ns max (CP→Y, CL = 50 pF) - enables ≤133-MHz clock operation in buffered data paths |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive buses (e.g., >100 pF) without signal degradation |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - blocks reverse current flow during power sequencing or hot-swap scenarios |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rails with ±5% tolerance |
| Input Compatibility | Fully TTL-compatible VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - interoperates with 74LS, 74ALS, and other legacy 5-V logic families |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115/C101 for robust board-level handling |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-24 (DW), 7.5 mm × 15.4 mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | D0–D9 Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs to D-type flip-flops; CMOS/TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 11 | OE Output Enable | Active-low control: OE = L enables Y0–Y9 outputs; OE = H places all outputs in high-impedance state |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power domains; must be connected to system common ground plane |
| 13–22 | Y0–Y9 Outputs | 3-state buffered register outputs; low-capacitance (Co ≤ 12 pF) in Z-state minimizes bus loading |
| 23 | CP Clock Pulse | Positive-edge-triggered clock input; latches D0–D9 simultaneously on rising edge |
| 24 | VCC | 5-V supply pin; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Slower edge transitions reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and radiated EMI in dense PCB layouts |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | tPLH ≈ tPHL ensures symmetrical waveform timing - critical for setup/hold margin in synchronous bus designs |
| Low Input Capacitance | Ci = 5–10 pF minimizes loading on upstream drivers, preserving signal integrity in fan-out chains |
| TTL-Compatible Thresholds | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V allows direct connection to 74LS/ALS without level-shifting circuitry |
| Partial-Power-Down Safe | Ioff < ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V prevents backfeed into powered sections during staggered power-up/down sequences |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Memory Bus Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding digital I/O points in programmable logic controllers using shared backplane buses with multiple 5-V peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a synchronized output port latch, capturing CPU writes on CP edge and driving high-current loads (e.g., relay drivers, LED arrays) via Y0–Y9. Use Value: 64-mA sink capability directly drives 20-mA LEDs or 10-mA optocouplers without external transistors; Ioff prevents backfeed during module hot-swap. | Use Scenario: Buffering 10-bit address/data lines between microcontroller and older SRAM/EPROM chips with strict timing margins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides registered, 3-state-controlled data staging between processor and memory - isolating bus segments during read/write cycles. Use Value: 7.5-ns tPLH ensures reliable timing closure in 133-MHz-equivalent bus cycles; matched edges preserve data eye width across all 10 bits. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Test Equipment Digital Pattern Generator |
Use Scenario: Managing discrete sensor inputs and actuator outputs in automotive BCMs where mixed-voltage subsystems require isolation during sleep/wake transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a fault-tolerant interface register - holding last-known state during VCC brownout and re-enabling cleanly on recovery. Use Value: Ioff protection eliminates risk of current injection into unpowered CAN/LIN domain supplies; 2000-V HBM withstands vehicle ESD events. | Use Scenario: Generating precise, synchronized multi-bit stimulus patterns for IC functional testing in ATE systems with tight skew requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers deterministic, edge-aligned 10-bit vectors on each CP rising edge - acting as a pattern latch stage before driver amplification. Use Value: 1.5-ns minimum hold time (th) and 3-ns setup (tsu) enable sub-10-ns timing resolution; low-output skew (<0.5 ns typical) maintains vector integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-interface register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT821BTSOCT?
CY74FCT821BTSOCT supports a maximum clock frequency of approximately 133 MHz, derived from its 7.5-ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) under CL = 50 pF conditions. This assumes sufficient setup (3 ns) and hold (1.5 ns) timing margins are maintained in the target system layout and loading environment.
Does CY74FCT821BTSOCT require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs of CY74FCT821BTSOCT must be held at either VCC or GND to ensure predictable logic states and prevent floating-node-induced current leakage or oscillation. Leaving inputs unconnected may cause increased ICC or erratic register behavior.
Can CY74FCT821BTSOCT operate safely with VCC = 3.3 V?
No - CY74FCT821BTSOCT is specified only for VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Operation at 3.3 V falls outside its recommended operating conditions and risks failure to meet VOH/VOL, timing, or noise immunity specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's ALVC or LVC series alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of CY74FCT821BTSOCT in its SOIC-24 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for CY74FCT821BTSOCT in the SOIC-24 (DW) package is 46°C/W, as specified in TI's absolute maximum ratings. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (JESD 51-7); actual board-level θJA will vary based on copper area, layer count, and airflow.
How does the Ioff feature of CY74FCT821BTSOCT protect downstream circuitry during power-down?
The Ioff feature in CY74FCT821BTSOCT disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA even if signals remain present on D, CP, or OE pins. This prevents damaging reverse current flow into unpowered sections of the system - a critical safeguard during hot-swap, partial-power-down, or mixed-rail sequencing scenarios.
