Product details
Overview
SN74ABT827NT from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/bus driver in a 24-pin plastic DIP package, delivering high-drive outputs (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout, and guaranteed high-impedance state during power-up/down (VCC < 2.1 V). It serves as a wide-bus interface for data paths carrying parity in industrial backplanes and memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT827NT datasheet, SN74ABT827NT pinout, SN74ABT827NT application, or SN74ABT827NT equivalent, key selection criteria include its BiCMOS EPIC-II™ architecture, 5-V operation with ±1 µA input leakage, 4.5–5.5 V supply range, and compatibility with TTL-level control inputs driving CMOS loads.
Technical Context
This device implements dual active-low 2-input AND logic for output-enable control (OE1 and OE2), ensuring all ten outputs enter high-impedance state if either enable is high. Its flow-through architecture places inputs on one side (pins 1–11, 13) and outputs on the opposite side (pins 14–24, 12), minimizing trace crossings.
The SN74ABT827NT uses EPIC-II™ BiCMOS design to achieve low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP at 5 V), latch-up immunity >500 mA per JESD-17, and rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 2.5 V at −24 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 64 mA) across −40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems and stable operation under rail tolerance. |
| Output Drive | −32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - supports heavy capacitive bus loading and fan-out to multiple CMOS inputs without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.1–4.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL at 5 V) - enables high-speed data transfer in wide parallel buses up to ~200 MHz effective throughput. |
| Input Leakage | ±1 µA at VCC or GND - minimizes static current draw and prevents unintended logic transitions in high-impedance control lines. |
| Power-Up State | Guaranteed high-Z below 2.1 V VCC - eliminates bus contention during system power sequencing without external circuitry. |
| Thermal Resistance | 67°C/W θJA (NT package) - allows sustained operation at full drive strength in ambient temperatures up to +85°C with minimal heatsinking. |
| ESD Rating | Exceeds JEDEC JESD17 latch-up threshold (>500 mA) - provides robustness against transient currents in industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT827NT uses a 24-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP, NT), 0.600-inch body width, with standard through-hole mounting and 0.100-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low output-enable inputs - both must be low for output assertion; OR logic behavior simplifies bus arbitration control. |
| 2–11, 14 | A1–A10 | Data inputs - true (noninverting) logic path; flow-through layout aligns inputs left-to-right matching physical bus routing. |
| 15–24, 12 | Y1–Y10 | Buffered outputs - high-drive capability supports stubbed or daisy-chained bus topologies with up to 10 pF load per line. |
| 23 | GND | Signal reference - dedicated ground pin adjacent to outputs reduces switching noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| 24 | VCC | Power supply - placed opposite GND for balanced decoupling; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-II™ BiCMOS Process | Reduces dynamic power by >40% vs. standard bipolar TTL while retaining drive strength and speed. |
| Flow-Through Architecture | Enables straight-layer PCB routing with no layer jumps or vias between input and output banks - cuts layout time by ~30%. |
| High-Impedance Power Sequencing | Automatically enters Z-state when VCC < 2.1 V - eliminates need for external power-good monitoring or reset hold-off circuits. |
| Output Ground Bounce Control | VOLP < 1 V at 5 V/25°C - prevents false logic transitions on shared ground planes in multi-device bus systems. |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5-V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level-shifting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit bus driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT244N | Octal (8-bit), not 10-bit; identical EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process, same drive strength and timing. | Suitable only where bus width is ≤8 bits; requires two devices for 10-bit coverage, increasing board area and supply current. | Select SN74ABT244N only when consolidating multiple 8-bit paths or replacing legacy octal drivers with minimal redesign. |
| SN74LVC8T245PW | 8-bit dual-supply transceiver (1.65–5.5 V), lower drive (−24/24 mA), TSSOP-24 package. | Supports voltage translation but lacks 10-bit width and high-drive capability; unsuitable for parity-carrying wide buses. | Choose SN74LVC8T245PW only for mixed-voltage 8-bit interfaces requiring level shifting, not for SN74ABT827NT's native 5-V, 10-bit, high-drive role. |
Compared with SN74ABT244N and SN74LVC8T245PW, the SN74ABT827NT uniquely delivers 10-bit width, 64-mA sink drive, and guaranteed power-up high-Z in a through-hole DIP-making it irreplaceable for legacy 5-V industrial backplanes requiring exact pin count and mechanical fit.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating for SN74ABT827NT?
The SN74ABT827NT supports −32 mA high-level output current (IOH) and 64 mA low-level output current (IOL) under recommended operating conditions. These values are specified at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V and ensure reliable drive into typical CMOS bus loads without exceeding thermal limits in the NT package.
Does SN74ABT827NT require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to guarantee high-impedance state above VCC = 2.1 V, OE1 and OE2 must be tied to VCC via pull-up resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; TI recommends ≤10 kΩ for robust noise immunity while maintaining fast disable timing in the SN74ABT827NT.
Can SN74ABT827NT operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No - the SN74ABT827NT is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS architecture and input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are optimized for 5-V TTL compatibility. Using 3.3 V risks undefined logic states, reduced noise margin, and failure to meet output drive specifications.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABT827NT package?
The SN74ABT827NT in the NT (plastic DIP) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 67°C/W, as measured per JEDEC standards. This value enables continuous operation at full output drive (64 mA per pin) in still-air environments up to +85°C ambient, assuming standard 2-layer PCB with adequate copper pour.
How does the flow-through architecture of SN74ABT827NT improve PCB layout?
The SN74ABT827NT places all 10 inputs (A1–A10) on the left side (pins 1–11, 13) and all 10 outputs (Y1–Y10) on the right side (pins 14–24, 12), enabling direct horizontal trace routing without layer changes or vias. This reduces parasitic inductance, minimizes crosstalk, and accelerates layout completion for dense backplane designs.
