Product details
Overview
SN74ABT821ADWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit edge-triggered D-type bus-interface flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-capacitance bus driving in industrial and embedded systems. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±32-mA high-drive outputs, supports 125-MHz clock frequency, and features power-up/power-down high-impedance state for bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT821ADWRG4 datasheet, SN74ABT821ADWRG4 pinout, SN74ABT821ADWRG4 application, or SN74ABT821ADWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus contention control, TTL-compatible input thresholds, low propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.2 ns), and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy ABT logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent D-type latches triggered on the positive edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Each output provides true-level logic (non-inverted Q) and supports bidirectional bus operation when paired with complementary drivers.
Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture enables low static current (ICC ≤ 38 mA) while sustaining high sink/source drive (IOL = 64 mA, IOH = –32 mA) and robust noise immunity (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V). The device enters high-impedance state automatically when VCC is below 2.1 V, eliminating external power sequencing circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 10-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS buses |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed data latching in memory interfaces and I/O expansion |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF) without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.2 ns @ VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables tight timing margins in synchronous bus designs |
| Enable Propagation | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 6.3 ns - fast output enable/disable minimizes bus turnaround latency |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automation applications |

| 12 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers BiCMOS output stage and latch core |
| 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 | Q outputs (1Q–10Q) | True-level registered outputs; tri-stated when OE is high |
| 23 | CLK | Global positive-edge clock input; synchronizes all ten D-to-Q transfers |
| 24 | OE | Active-low 3-state enable; high disables outputs into high-Z; does not affect internal latch state |
Key Features

Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy Bus Buffering (ISA, VME) |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing microcontroller GPIO banks to a 10-bit parallel backplane in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes and isolates bidirectional data flow between CPU and peripheral modules using CLK and OE-controlled 3-state outputs. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete bus transceivers; 64-mA sink capability drives long backplane traces with minimal signal degradation. |
Use Scenario: Extending ISA or VME bus data paths in retro-computing or test equipment where signal integrity degrades over long trace runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a registered buffer to retiming and strengthen 10-bit data/address lines before fan-out to multiple slots. Use Value: 125-MHz max clock and sub-7-ns propagation delay preserve timing margins across legacy bus cycles up to 8 MHz. |
| Memory-Mapped I/O Expansion | Parity-Enabled Bidirectional Data Bus |
|
Use Scenario: Adding parallel I/O ports to an ARM9-based industrial controller requiring register-accessible status and control bits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized, latch-protected I/O port with software-controllable 3-state enable for shared bus arbitration. Use Value: OE pin allows runtime bus release without disturbing internal latch contents - critical for non-blocking peripheral access. |
Use Scenario: Implementing a 10-bit bidirectional data path with parity generation in safety-critical avionics subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches data on rising CLK while OE manages direction; supports parity bit insertion via unused D/Q pins. Use Value: High noise immunity (2000-V ESD, 500-mA latch-up rating) meets DO-254 robustness requirements for airborne electronics. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit bus-interface flip-flop applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ABT821ADWRG4?
The SN74ABT821ADWRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) per the datasheet's timing characteristics table.
Does SN74ABT821ADWRG4 have built-in power-up/down high-impedance protection?
Yes, SN74ABT821ADWRG4 automatically places all outputs in high-impedance state when VCC is between 0 V and 2.1 V - covering both power-up and power-down transitions. This prevents bus contention without requiring external reset or OE control circuitry.
What is the output drive capability of SN74ABT821ADWRG4?
SN74ABT821ADWRG4 provides high-drive 3-state outputs rated at –32 mA (IOH) and 64 mA (IOL) at VCC = 5 V. This allows direct driving of heavily loaded buses, including those with >50-pF capacitance or multi-drop configurations, without external buffers.
Is SN74ABT821ADWRG4 pin-compatible with older SN74ABT821 variants?
Yes, SN74ABT821ADWRG4 uses the same SOIC-24 (DW) package and identical pinout as SN74ABT821ADW and SN74ABT821ADWR. All share identical terminal assignments, electrical behavior, and timing - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs.
What does the "G4" suffix indicate in SN74ABT821ADWRG4?
The "G4" suffix in SN74ABT821ADWRG4 denotes TI's green packaging standard: halogen-free mold compound, lead-free terminations (NIPDAU), and full RoHS/REACH compliance. It is functionally identical to SN74ABT821ADWR but certified for environmentally regulated production.
