Product details
Overview
N74F821N,602 from Philips Semiconductors is a 10-bit non-inverting bus interface register with 3-state outputs, positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, 180 MHz max clock frequency, and DIP24 package. It buffers wide data/address buses carrying parity in high-speed microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the N74F821N,602 datasheet, N74F821N,602 pinout, N74F821N,602 application, or N74F821N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output drive capability (24 mA source / 64 mA sink), input loading (20 µA HIGH/LOW), propagation delay (4.0–8.5 ns), and compatibility with AMD AM29821 broadside pinout.
Technical Context
The N74F821N,602 implements ten independent D-type flip-flops synchronized to the rising edge of CP, with common clock and active-low output enable (OE). Its buffered control inputs reduce AC coupling effects on timing integrity.
Each output supports true 3-state operation with glitch-free behavior during power-up/down, and clamped over-shoot protection ensures robustness against transient voltage excursions at inputs and outputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the N74F821N,602?
The N74F821N,602 supports a maximum clock frequency of 180 MHz under typical conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, Tamb = 25 °C, CL = 50 pF). Over the full commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C), the guaranteed minimum fmax is 140 MHz per the AC Electrical Characteristics table in the Philips datasheet.
Does the N74F821N,602 have true 3-state outputs with power-up/down safety?
Yes, the N74F821N,602 features glitch-free 3-state outputs that remain in high-impedance state during power-up and power-down sequences. This prevents bus contention and ensures safe initialization without external reset coordination, as confirmed in the Features section and FUNCTION TABLE of the Philips datasheet.
Is the N74F821N,602 pin-compatible with the AMD AM29821 device?
Yes, the N74F821N,602 uses a broadside pinout explicitly stated as compatible with AMD AM29821 in the Philips datasheet Features section. Pin assignments for Dn, Qn, CP, OE, VCC, and GND match, enabling mechanical and electrical interchangeability in existing PCB footprints.
What are the output drive capabilities of the N74F821N,602?
The N74F821N,602 outputs source up to 24 mA in the HIGH state and sink up to 64 mA in the LOW state, as specified in the Features and DC Electrical Characteristics sections. These values are measured under recommended operating conditions and define the maximum load the device can directly drive without external buffers.
What is the input loading specification for the N74F821N,602 data and control pins?
The N74F821N,602 exhibits 20 µA input current in both HIGH and LOW states for Dn, CP, and OE pins, per the INPUT AND OUTPUT LOADING AND FAN-OUT TABLE. This low loading reduces fan-out requirements and allows direct connection to high-impedance sources such as MOS microprocessor outputs.
