Product details
Overview
SN74ABT833NT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit to 9-bit parity bus transceiver with integrated parity generator/checker, ERR flag register, and dual-directional data transfer capability. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, delivers ±32-mA/64-mA drive strength, and features open-collector ERR output for parity error detection in synchronous bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT833NT datasheet, SN74ABT833NT pinout, SN74ABT833NT application, or SN74ABT833NT equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability data integrity verification in backplane interconnects, memory subsystems, and fault-tolerant computing architectures where real-time parity validation and registered error reporting are required.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT833NT implements a synchronous, clocked parity error flag register that latches ERR on the rising edge of CLK and clears on low pulse at CLR. Its BiCMOS EPIC-IIB architecture enables low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP) and high noise immunity while supporting true (non-inverted) and inverted parity modes via OEA/OEB control logic.
It provides bidirectional 8-bit data paths (A1–A8 ↔ B1–B8) plus dedicated PARITY and ERR terminals, with independent output-enable control (OEA, OEB) enabling three-state isolation. The device uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and meets JEDEC JESD-17 latch-up immunity (>500 mA).

Pinout & Package
SN74ABT833NT is supplied in a 24-pin plastic DIP (NT) package with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch, compatible with standard 0.1"-grid PCB layouts and socketing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEA | Output Enable A | Active-low control enabling A-bus drivers; when high, A outputs enter high-impedance state. |
| OEB | Output Enable B | Active-low control enabling B-bus drivers; when high, B outputs enter high-impedance state. |
| CLK | Clock Input | Rising-edge-triggered latch for ERR flag register; synchronizes error reporting to system clock domain. |
| CLR | Clear Input | Asynchronous active-low reset of ERR register; ensures known initial error state at power-on or fault recovery. |
| ERR | Parity Error Flag | Open-collector output asserting low when parity mismatch detected on B-bus data + PARITY input. |
| PARITY | Generated Parity Bit | 9th-bit output reflecting odd parity of A-bus data; used as reference during B→A parity checking. |
| A1–A8 | A-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional 8-bit port; transfers data to B-bus when OEA low, receives data from B-bus when OEB low. |
| B1–B8 | B-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional 8-bit port; receives data from A-bus when OEA low, drives A-bus when OEB low with parity validation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Parity Generator/Checker | Generates odd parity on A→B transfer and validates parity on B→A transfer using single-cycle logic. |
| Registered ERR Flag | ERR status captured synchronously on CLK↑ and held until cleared by CLR, enabling deterministic interrupt handling. |
| Inverted Parity Diagnostic Mode | When OEA=OEB=L, forces parity error condition-supports hardware-level fault simulation without software intervention. |
| High-Drive BiCMOS Outputs | –32 mA source / 64 mA sink capability eliminates need for external line drivers in dense bus environments. |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - Reduces switching noise coupling into analog sections or adjacent signal lines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parity-aware bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT823N | 8-bit non-parity transceiver; no PARITY/ERR/CLK/CLR functions; identical pinout except missing pins 10,11,12,13,22,23. | Lacks parity generation, checking, and error flag register - suitable only where data integrity is handled at higher protocol layer. | Select SN74ABT823N if parity is unnecessary and board layout rework to remove unused pins is acceptable. |
| SN74ACT833N | Same functionality and pinout; TTL-compatible inputs but ACT-series CMOS outputs (lower drive: –24 mA/24 mA); higher ICC at speed. | Lower drive strength limits trace length and fanout; requires tighter noise margin management in noisy industrial environments. | Choose SN74ACT833N only if existing design already uses ACT logic family and power budget allows reduced drive capability. |
Compared with SN74ABT833NT, SN74ABT823N omits all parity infrastructure and requires external error detection, while SN74ACT833N retains full functionality but trades off drive strength and noise immunity for lower static power - neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in replaceable without electrical and timing validation.

FAQ
What is the function of the CLR pin on the SN74ABT833NT?
The CLR (clear) pin on the SN74ABT833NT is an asynchronous active-low input that resets the internal parity error flag register. When pulled low, it forces the ERR output high regardless of current parity status, ensuring a known error state after power-up or fault recovery. This behavior is confirmed in the ERROR-FLAG FUNCTION TABLE and logic diagram of the official SCBS195C datasheet. The SN74ABT833NT requires only a brief low pulse on CLR to clear the register, and the pin must be held high during normal operation to preserve ERR state.
Does the SN74ABT833NT support both even and odd parity modes?
The SN74ABT833NT natively generates and checks odd parity, as stated in the functional description and verified in the FUNCTION TABLE where "Σ OF H's Odd" triggers PARITY = L and ERR = H during A→B transfer. Inverted parity mode (activated when OEA=OEB=L) forces an intentional parity error but does not change the underlying odd-parity logic - it is a diagnostic feature, not an even-parity mode. No documentation supports configurable even/odd selection; the SN74ABT833NT implements fixed odd-parity operation per its design specification.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ABT833NT for reliable ERR flag registration?
The SN74ABT833NT does not specify a maximum clock frequency; instead, timing is governed by minimum pulse width requirements. The datasheet mandates a minimum CLK high/low time of 3 ns (tw), implying a theoretical maximum toggle rate of ~167 MHz. However, reliable ERR registration depends on setup/hold timing: B or PARITY data must be stable ≥8.1 ns before CLK↑ (tsu) and ≥0 ns after (th). At 5 V and 25°C, propagation delays (tPHL/tPLH ≤5.4 ns) support system clock domains up to ~80 MHz with proper PCB layout and load management. This timing behavior is consistent across all SN74ABT833NT operating conditions.
Can the SN74ABT833NT be used in hot-swap applications?
The SN74ABT833NT is not characterized for hot-swap operation. Its absolute maximum ratings allow VCC from –0.5 V to 7 V and specify no Ioff current limit during partial power-up, unlike dedicated hot-swap ICs. The recommended practice is to tie OE inputs to VCC via pullup resistors during power sequencing to ensure high-impedance state at startup, as noted in the datasheet. While the device exhibits robust latch-up immunity (>500 mA) and ESD protection (>2000 V HBM), absence of controlled slew-rate outputs or rail-to-rail input tolerance means uncontrolled insertion into live backplanes risks bus contention or transient overstress. Use in hot-swap systems requires external protection circuitry and validation.
How does the SN74ABT833NT handle bus isolation when both OEA and OEB are high?
When both OEA and OEB are high, the SN74ABT833NT places all A1–A8 and B1–B8 I/O ports into high-impedance (Z) state, fully isolating the A and B buses. As confirmed in the FUNCTION TABLE, this condition results in "Isolation" mode with A and B outputs disabled and PARITY driven high. The ERR output remains in its last registered state (not forced high or low), preserving error history across isolation events. This behavior enables dynamic bus segmentation in multi-master systems, allowing one segment to operate while others are electrically disconnected - a key capability for modular system architectures using the SN74ABT833NT.
