Product details
Overview
SN74ABT823NT from Texas Instruments is a 9-bit bus-interface D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-drive bidirectional bus buffering in industrial and embedded systems. It features –32-mA IOH / 64-mA IOL drive strength, 125-MHz maximum clock frequency, and operates over –40°C to 85°C. Used in I/O port expansion and parity-enabled bus drivers where robust noise immunity and power-up high-impedance safety are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT823NT datasheet, SN74ABT823NT pinout, SN74ABT823NT application, or SN74ABT823NT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin PDIP (NT) package, TTL-compatible control inputs (CLKEN, OE, CLR), 3-state output behavior during power sequencing, and EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process enabling low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP) at 5 V.
Technical Context
This device implements nine edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with independent asynchronous clear (CLR), clock-enable (CLKEN), and buffered output-enable (OE) controls. Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS architecture delivers high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.8 ns at 5 V, CL = 50 pF) while maintaining low static current (ICC ≤ 38 mA) and high noise immunity (VIK = –1.2 V).
The SN74ABT823NT supports safe power sequencing: outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC is between 0–2.1 V, and OE must be pulled up externally above 2.1 V to guarantee 3-state behavior. Input transition rate is specified at 5 ns/V, and latch-up performance exceeds 500 mA per JESD17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 9-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, edge-triggered on CLK↑ |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive buses without external buffers |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed data latching in backplane and memory interface applications |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.8 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables tight timing margins in synchronous designs |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance outputs when VCC < 2.1 V - prevents bus contention during supply ramp-up |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V machine model - enhances reliability in handling and assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT823NT is supplied in a 24-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated NT by Texas Instruments. The package has 0.3-inch body width, 0.1-inch lead pitch, and through-hole mounting compatible with standard PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control; high-impedance when high, normal logic when low |
| 2–10 | 1D–9D | Data inputs for nine D-type flip-flops |
| 11 | CLR (Clear) | Asynchronous active-low reset forcing all Q outputs low regardless of clock |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for logic and output stages |
| 13–14 | CLKEN, CLK | CLKEN gates CLK signal; low CLKEN enables clocking, high disables and holds outputs |
| 15–23 | 1Q–9Q | Registered outputs corresponding to D inputs; 3-state when OE is high |
| 24 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers BiCMOS output drivers and internal logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-II™ BiCMOS Process | Reduces dynamic power vs. pure bipolar while retaining high drive and speed |
| High-Impedance Power Sequencing | Guaranteed Hi-Z when VCC ∈ [0, 2.1 V], preventing bus conflicts at power-up/down |
| Buffered Control Inputs | CLKEN, OE, and CLR have reduced DC loading - minimizes fanout burden on upstream logic |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - maintains signal integrity on shared ground planes |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD17 - ensures robustness in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Embedded I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing microcontroller GPIO banks to legacy parallel backplanes with long trace lengths and high capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a registered, 3-state bus buffer that isolates MCU from bus transients and provides synchronized data capture on CLK↑. Use Value: High drive strength (64 mA IOL) ensures reliable signal integrity across 100+ pF loads; power-up Hi-Z prevents initialization glitches. |
Use Scenario: Expanding digital I/O capability in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) requiring hot-swap-safe peripheral connectivity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a latch + tri-state driver for parallel I/O ports, supporting read/write handshaking via OE and CLKEN. Use Value: Asynchronous CLR allows system-level reset coordination; buffered OE eliminates loading on control bus lines. |
| Parity-Enabled Bus Driver | Memory Address Latching |
Use Scenario: Driving 9-bit data + parity lines in fault-tolerant communication modules where bit-level error detection is mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized, glitch-free output registration and 3-state isolation during parity check cycles. Use Value: Matched propagation delays across all 9 channels ensure simultaneous assertion of data and parity bits; low VOLP avoids false parity errors. |
Use Scenario: Latching address signals from a multiplexed CPU bus to static RAM or peripheral decoders in legacy 8/16-bit systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Captures and holds address bits on rising clock edge, then presents stable outputs to memory enable logic. Use Value: 125-MHz max clock supports fast address setup; high-impedance outputs allow shared address/data bus reuse without contention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 9-bit bus-interface flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT821N | 8-bit version (not 9-bit); identical timing, drive, and package options | Not suitable for 9-bit data paths or parity-plus-8 configurations | Select only if bus width is exactly 8 bits and no parity extension is needed |
| SN74ALVC16373DL | 16-bit, 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (–24/+24 mA), different pinout | Requires level-shifting for 5-V systems; unsuitable for direct replacement in legacy 5-V designs | Consider only for new 3.3-V designs prioritizing lower power over legacy compatibility |
Compared with SN74ABT823NT, SN74ABT821N offers identical electrical behavior but lacks the ninth bit required for parity support, while SN74ALVC16373DL trades voltage compatibility and pin compatibility for higher density and lower voltage operation - neither is pin- or functionally interchangeable without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT823NT?
The SN74ABT823NT is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting commercial and industrial environmental requirements. This range is validated per the recommended operating conditions in the SCBS158E datasheet and applies specifically to the NT (plastic DIP) package variant. Operation outside this range may result in undefined timing or output behavior and is not guaranteed by Texas Instruments.
Does SN74ABT823NT support hot insertion or live insertion into a powered bus?
SN74ABT823NT supports controlled hot insertion due to its guaranteed high-impedance state when VCC is below 2.1 V and its robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM). However, OE must be externally pulled to VCC via a resistor to ensure Hi-Z above 2.1 V; uncontrolled OE states during partial power application can cause bus contention. Full hot-plug compliance requires external circuitry per system-level design.
Can SN74ABT823NT be used with 3.3-V logic inputs?
No - SN74ABT823NT is a 5-V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). While 3.3-V CMOS outputs may meet VIH under nominal conditions, voltage margin degrades with temperature and process variation. For reliable 3.3-V interfacing, level-shifting or a 3.3-V-compatible alternative like SN74ALVC16373 is required.
What is the purpose of the CLKEN pin on SN74ABT823NT?
The CLKEN (clock enable) pin on SN74ABT823NT acts as a synchronous gate for the clock signal: when CLKEN is low, the device responds to rising edges on CLK; when CLKEN is high, the internal clock path is disabled and outputs hold their last state. This enables selective latching without toggling the main clock line, reducing system-wide clock distribution load and simplifying multi-device synchronization.
Is SN74ABT823NT RoHS compliant?
Yes - SN74ABT823NT is RoHS compliant per TI's packaging documentation. The NT package uses leaded solder (SnPb) finish, which qualifies under RoHS exemption 7a (lead in high-melting-temperature type solders). TI confirms full compliance status in the Package Option Addendum dated 15-Jul-2026, and the part marking reflects standard catalog production release.
