Product details
Overview
SN74ALS29821DWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for driving highly capacitive or low-impedance bus loads. It operates at 5 V, supports 48 mA sink / −24 mA source output drive, features power-up high-impedance state, and is qualified for 0°C to 70°C industrial operation in SOIC-24 package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS29821DWRG4 datasheet, SN74ALS29821DWRG4 pinout, SN74ALS29821DWRG4 application, or SN74ALS29821DWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 10-bit synchronous data latching, OE-controlled 3-state bus interface capability, undershoot-protection circuitry, and compatibility with wider address/data paths requiring parity support.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the positive edge of CLK. Output-enable (OE) controls all ten Q outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance without affecting internal latch states - enabling data retention during bus arbitration.
It uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic technology, delivering TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), guaranteed 2 ns minimum hold time, 4 ns setup time, and propagation delays as low as 2 ns (CL = 50 pF) for both CLK→Q and OE→Q transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) - ensures TTL compatibility with reduced power vs standard LS. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight regulation required; not rated for 5.5 V continuous operation. |
| Output Drive | 48 mA sink / −24 mA source - sufficient to drive 50-pF bus loads directly without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 2 ns (min) to 10 ns (max) CLK→Q at CL = 50 pF - enables timing-critical bus register applications. |
| Enable/Disable Time | 1 ns (min) to 14 ns (max) OE→Q transition at CL = 50 pF - supports fast bus turnaround in multiplexed systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - industrial-grade qualification; excludes extended or military temperature ranges. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - compatible with standard TTL and 5-V CMOS logic interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS29821DWRG4 is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, 300-mil body width, with standard pin pitch (1.27 mm) and gull-wing leads. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for peak reflow at 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low output enable - disables all Q outputs to high-impedance; does not affect internal flip-flop state. |
| 2–11 | 1D–10D | Data inputs - sampled on rising CLK edge; asynchronous to OE control. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection for noise immunity and output drive integrity. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 14–23 | 1Q–10Q | 3-state buffered outputs - reflect D-input state when OE is low; high-Z when OE is high. |
| 24 | CLK | Positive-edge clock - synchronous trigger for all 10 flip-flops; no internal synchronization delay. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-up High-Impedance State | Prevents bus contention at power-on/off - outputs remain tri-stated until VCC stabilizes and OE is asserted. |
| Undershoot-Protection Circuitry | Clamps negative transients below GND to −1.2 V - protects against signal reflections on long PCB traces or unterminated buses. |
| Buffered Control Inputs | Reduces DC loading on OE and CLK lines - allows fan-out to multiple devices without signal degradation. |
| 10-Bit Bus Width Extension | Supports parity-enabled 11-bit buses (10 data + 1 parity) - used in legacy memory controllers and I/O port expansion. |
| Functionally Equivalent to AM29821 | Drop-in replacement for AMD's AM29821 - identical pinout, timing, and electrical behavior per TI and AMD documentation. |
Applications
| Memory Address Latch | Parallel I/O Port Buffer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Latching 10-bit address segments in 8086/8088-based systems with parity checking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered register holding upper/lower address bits during bus cycle; synchronized to CPU CLK. Use Value: Enables clean separation of address and data phases on multiplexed AD bus while supporting parity validation. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional parallel interface between microcontroller and peripheral (e.g., printer, display controller). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state bus driver providing direction-controlled data flow; OE tied to microcontroller port control line. Use Value: Eliminates need for external bus transceivers - reduces component count and layout complexity in legacy embedded designs. |
| Parity Generator/Checker Interface | Legacy Backplane Data Register |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing parity generator ICs (e.g., SN74ALS29820) to system data bus with 10-bit width + parity bit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizing parity-augmented data before transmission onto shared backplane bus. Use Value: Ensures timing-aligned delivery of full 11-bit word (10 data + 1 parity), meeting strict setup/hold requirements of bus receivers. |
Use Scenario: Registering data across modular backplane slots in industrial PLC or test equipment chassis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolating slot-specific data paths using OE-controlled 3-state outputs to prevent bus conflicts. Use Value: Provides deterministic, glitch-free bus arbitration in multi-slot systems where modules power up asynchronously. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit 3-state register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS29821DW | Same die, identical DW package, same marking - differs only in tape-and-reel vs tube packaging (RG4 denotes tube). | No functional difference; RG4 suffix indicates tube packaging (25 pcs/tube), while bare DW is reel-packaged. | Select SN74ALS29821DWRG4 for low-volume prototyping or small-batch production requiring tube delivery. |
| AM29821 | Pin- and function-compatible with identical timing, drive strength, and ALS logic family - documented by AMD and TI as direct replacement. | Identical use in bus register, I/O port, and parity interface roles; validated in same military and industrial systems. | Choose AM29821 only if dual-sourcing or legacy BOM compliance requires AMD-branded part; otherwise SN74ALS29821DWRG4 offers full TI support. |
Compared with SN74ALS29821DWRG4, the SN74ALS29821DW offers identical functionality in reel format for automated assembly, while AM29821 provides second-source assurance with no design or layout changes needed - both preserve the same 10-bit synchronous register behavior, 3-state control, and industrial temperature range.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74ALS29821DWRG4?
The SN74ALS29821DWRG4 operates within a recommended supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Absolute maximum VCC is 5.5 V, but sustained operation above 5.25 V risks parametric shift or reliability degradation. This range ensures stable ALS logic thresholds and output drive performance across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature span.
Does SN74ALS29821DWRG4 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
SN74ALS29821DWRG4 supports controlled bus isolation via its OE input but is not hot-swap rated. Its power-up high-impedance state prevents initial contention, and undershoot protection mitigates transient stress - however, it lacks dedicated hot-swap circuitry (e.g., slew-rate limiting, VCC sequencing detection), so system-level safeguards are required for live insertion.
Can SN74ALS29821DWRG4 replace SN74ALS29821DW in an existing design?
Yes - SN74ALS29821DWRG4 is functionally and electrically identical to SN74ALS29821DW, differing only in packaging format (tube vs reel). Pinout, timing, drive strength, and thermal characteristics are fully matched. No PCB or schematic changes are needed when substituting SN74ALS29821DWRG4 for SN74ALS29821DW.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ALS29821DWRG4 can drive reliably?
SN74ALS29821DWRG4 is characterized up to 300 pF load capacitance, with propagation delays specified at both 50 pF and 300 pF. At 300 pF, tPLH/tPHL remains ≤21 ns, and output drive maintains 48 mA sink capability - making it suitable for driving long traces, multiple TTL inputs, or unterminated stubs in legacy backplane architectures.
Is SN74ALS29821DWRG4 RoHS compliant?
Yes - SN74ALS29821DWRG4 carries NIPDAU (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish and is RoHS-compliant per TI's Package Option Addendum. It meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating and is qualified for peak reflow at 260°C, supporting standard lead-free assembly processes without derating.
