Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16821DLR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit, edge-triggered D-type bus-interface flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-speed bidirectional bus driving in industrial and embedded systems. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports 150 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA output drive, and features distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16821DLR datasheet, SN74ABT16821DLR pinout, SN74ABT16821DLR application, or SN74ABT16821DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56-pin SSOP (DL) package, dual 10-bit or single 20-bit configuration, true-edge-triggered operation, and high-drive 3-state outputs optimized for capacitive bus loading without external pull-ups.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 10-bit D-type flip-flop banks, each with separate clock (CLK) and output-enable (OE) controls. All 20 flip-flops trigger on the positive edge of their respective clocks, latching true input data (D) to Q outputs without inversion.
Its 3-state outputs are fully decoupled from internal register operation: OE assertion places outputs in high-impedance without affecting data retention or new data capture. The flow-through pinout and distributed power/ground layout minimize signal skew and ground bounce-VOLP < 1 V at 5 V and 25°C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-interface flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16222DLR | 16-bit version, identical DL package, same voltage/timing specs but reduced channel count | Suitable where only 16-bit bus width is required; lower pin count eases layout but lacks 20-bit granularity | Select when BOM consolidation or footprint reuse with 16-bit variants is prioritized over full 20-bit width |
| SN74ALVCH16222ADLR | 16-bit, 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (–24/+24 mA), different timing parameters | Targeted for low-voltage mixed-signal systems; incompatible with 5-V buses without level translation | Choose only for 3.3-V domains requiring ALVC speed/power trade-off; not drop-in for 5-V SN74ABT16821DLR designs |
Compared with SN74ABT16821DLR, SN74ABT16222DLR offers identical 5-V operation and package but fewer bits, while SN74ALVCH16222ADLR shifts to 3.3-V logic with reduced drive and timing - neither is pin-compatible, and both require schematic and layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74ABT16821DLR?
The SN74ABT16821DLR operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This 5-V nominal range ensures compatibility with legacy TTL and ABT logic families, supports robust noise margins, and aligns with industrial power rail standards. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings.
Does SN74ABT16821DLR support independent control of its two 10-bit banks?
Yes, SN74ABT16821DLR provides fully independent control: each 10-bit bank has its own clock (1CLK/2CLK) and output-enable (1OE/2OE) inputs. This allows asynchronous latching and 3-state control - for example, one bank can hold data while the other updates, or outputs can be isolated independently during bus arbitration.
What package type and dimensions does SN74ABT16821DLR use?
SN74ABT16821DLR uses a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP, DL) with 300-mil body width, 0.5-mm lead pitch, and 1.2-mm maximum height. Its JEDEC MO-153 compliant outline measures 13.9–14.1 mm × 6.0–6.2 mm, and it ships in 1000-unit tape-and-reel format (reel width 32.0 mm, quadrant Q1).
Can SN74ABT16821DLR drive a 100-pF bus load at 150 MHz?
Yes, SN74ABT16821DLR is characterized for 150 MHz operation with CL = 50 pF, and its ±32 mA/±64 mA drive strength enables reliable signaling into >100-pF loads. Real-world performance depends on trace impedance and termination, but the device's low output impedance and distributed power/ground structure maintain signal integrity under such conditions.
Is SN74ABT16821DLR pin-compatible with SN74ABT16821DGGR?
No, SN74ABT16821DLR (DL package) and SN74ABT16821DGGR (DGG package) share identical logic functionality and pin functions, but differ in physical dimensions, lead pitch (0.5 mm vs. 0.4 mm), and body size - making them mechanically incompatible without PCB redesign. Both are 56-pin packages but not interchangeable on the same footprint.
