Product details
Overview
SN74ABT853NT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit to 9-bit parity bus transceiver in a 24-pin plastic DIP (NT) package, designed for bidirectional data communication between parallel buses with real-time odd-parity generation and error detection. It features high-drive outputs (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), latch-enabled parity-error flag storage, and operates over −40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply. Used in industrial backplane and legacy computing systems requiring fault-tolerant data integrity.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT853NT datasheet, SN74ABT853NT pinout, SN74ABT853NT application, or SN74ABT853NT equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-bus direction control (OEA/OEB), open-collector ERR output with latch/clear logic, PARITY generation during A→B transfer, and compatibility with TTL-level signaling in mixed-logic systems.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT853NT implements a stateful parity-check architecture: when data flows from A to B, it generates odd parity on the PARITY pin; when data flows from B to A (with PARITY input), it compares received parity and asserts ERR if mismatched. The ERR flag can be sampled, latched (via LE), or cleared (via CLR), enabling diagnostic logging without host CPU intervention.
Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process delivers low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP at 5 V), ESD robustness (>2 kV HBM), and latch-up immunity (>500 mA). Power-up/power-down high-impedance behavior below 2.1 V VCC ensures bus isolation during sequencing, while pullup on OE above 2.1 V guarantees safe default state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems; not 3.3 V tolerant. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial/industrial environments, not extended military range. |
| Output Drive | −32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.2–6.4 ns (A↔B), 2.1–13.3 ns (A→PARITY) - supports high-speed synchronous bus transfers up to ~100 MHz system clock domains. |
| Parity Function | Odd-parity generation & checking - detects single-bit errors on 8-bit data paths; ERR is open-collector for wired-OR diagnostics. |
| Input Clamp Current | −18 mA - protects against negative transients on control/data lines per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015. |
| Power-Up State | High-impedance below 2.1 V VCC - prevents bus contention during power ramp; OE pullup required above threshold. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT853NT uses a 24-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-NT), 0.600″ wide, with 0.1″ lead pitch. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner (notch-left orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OEA) | Output Enable A | Active-low control enabling A-bus drivers; when high, A outputs enter high-Z. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | A-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O ports for 8-bit source/sink; true (non-inverted) data path. |
| 10 (ERR) | Parity-Error Flag | Open-collector output asserting low on parity mismatch; requires external pullup for logic-high. |
| 11 (CLR) | Clear Input | Active-low asynchronous reset of internal ERR latch; clears stored error flag immediately. |
| 12 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal and power return; must be low-inductance connection for noise-sensitive parity logic. |
| 13 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | +5 V power rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of pin. |
| 14–21 (B1–B8) | B-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O ports for 8-bit destination/source; true data path synchronized with OEB. |
| 22 (PARITY) | Parity Output/Input | Generated odd parity bit during A→B transfer; used as parity check input during B→A transfer. |
| 23 (OEB) | Output Enable B | Active-low control enabling B-bus drivers; independent of OEA for asymmetric bus control. |
| 24 (LE) | Latch Enable | Edge-triggered strobe capturing current ERR state into internal register for diagnostic readback. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| State-of-the-art EPIC-II™ BiCMOS | Reduces dynamic power vs. pure bipolar while retaining TTL-compatible drive strength and speed. |
| Parity-error latch with CLR/LE | Enables autonomous error capture and clearing without continuous host polling-critical for interrupt-driven diagnostics. |
| Inverted-parity mode (OEA=OEB=L) | Forces ERR assertion regardless of data, providing deterministic test mode for system-level parity path validation. |
| High-impedance during power sequencing | Prevents back-driving or contention on A/B buses when VCC is <2.1 V-eliminates need for external bus switches in hot-swap designs. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - interoperable with legacy 5 V logic families without level-shifting. |

| Industrial Backplane Communication | Legacy Computer Memory Subsystem |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit parity transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT824N | 8-bit non-parity transceiver; no PARITY/ERR/LE/CLR logic; only OEA/OEB control. | Suitable for basic bus isolation where parity checking is handled externally or omitted. | Select SN74ABT824N only if parity functionality is unnecessary and board space or BOM count reduction is prioritized. |
| SN74ACT853N | Same pinout/function but ACT-family: lower drive (−24 mA IOH, 48 mA IOL), higher speed (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.5 ns), 4.5–5.5 V supply. | Better suited for high-frequency, low-noise systems where reduced ground bounce is critical. | Choose SN74ACT853N when system timing margin is tight and lower power consumption is acceptable despite reduced drive capability. |
Compared with SN74ABT853NT, SN74ABT824N omits parity logic entirely-requiring external error detection-and SN74ACT853N trades drive strength for speed and lower noise, making it preferable only in noise-sensitive, high-clock-rate implementations where 64 mA IOL is not required.

FAQ
What is the function of the PARITY pin on the SN74ABT853NT?
The PARITY pin on the SN74ABT853NT serves a dual role: during A→B data transfer (OEA low, OEB high), it outputs odd parity computed across A1–A8; during B→A transfer (OEB low, OEA high), it accepts the corresponding parity bit from the B bus for comparison. This enables real-time single-bit error detection without external logic, and the resulting ERR flag reflects match/mismatch status.
Can the SN74ABT853NT operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the SN74ABT853NT is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended operating conditions. Applying 3.3 V violates the minimum VCC requirement and will result in undefined logic levels, degraded noise margins, and potential failure to meet timing or drive specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's LVT or ALVC series alternatives.
How does the ERR output behave when both OEA and OEB are high?
When both OEA and OEB are high, the SN74ABT853NT enters isolation mode: all A and B I/O pins go high-impedance, and ERR assumes a high-impedance state (not driven). In this configuration, ERR cannot indicate parity status-it is only active and meaningful when either OEA or OEB is low to enable data flow and parity evaluation.
Is the SN74ABT853NT RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SN74ABT853NT is RoHS compliant with Pb-Free (RoHS) lead finish and CU NIPDAU termination, as confirmed in TI's official packaging addendum. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and contains no restricted substances above threshold limits, including lead ≤ 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials.
What is the purpose of the inverted-parity mode (OEA=OEB=L) in the SN74ABT853NT?
When both OEA and OEB are low, the SN74ABT853NT forces ERR low regardless of input data-a deliberate "inverted parity" condition. This provides a hardware-level test mode to verify the entire ERR signal path (latch, clear, output driver, external pullup) without relying on specific data patterns, simplifying system-level diagnostic firmware and validation.
