Product details
Overview
SN74ALS29854DW from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit to 9-bit parity bus transceiver with integrated odd-parity generation and checking, open-collector ERR flag output, latch-enable (LE) and clear (CLR) control, and dual-directional A↔B data transfer capability. It operates at 5 V (4.75–5.25 V), supports 0°C to 70°C ambient, and delivers 8 ns propagation delay (A/B ↔ B/A, CL = 50 pF), enabling high-speed system-level parity validation in backplane or memory bus architectures.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS29854DW datasheet, SN74ALS29854DW pinout, SN74ALS29854DW application, or SN74ALS29854DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its bidirectional parity-aware bus isolation, ERR flag latching behavior, inverted-parity diagnostic mode, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy TTL/ALS logic families.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS29854DW implements a synchronous 9-bit parity generator/checker with dedicated PARITY output and open-collector ERR flag that reflects real-time parity mismatch on B-bus + PARITY input. Its internal logic enables three distinct operational modes: A→B parity generation (odd or inverted), B→A parity checking, and ERR flag storage/clearing via LE and CLR control inputs.
It uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) bipolar technology, ensuring TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), 24 mA sink capability on ERR, and 48 mA IOL drive on I/O ports. The device supports 3-state outputs controlled independently by OEA and OEB, allowing full bus isolation when both are high.

Pinout & Package
SN74ALS29854DW is housed in a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, with 300-mil body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and RoHS-compliant CU-NiPdAu finish (Level-2 moisture sensitivity).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OEA) | A-side output enable | Active-low control enabling A1–A8 drivers; high = high-impedance A-bus output. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | A-bus data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional 8-bit port; direction determined by OEA/OEB states and data flow mode. |
| 10 (ERR) | Parity error flag | Open-collector output asserting low on B-bus parity mismatch; requires external pull-up. |
| 11 (CLR) | Error-flag clear | Active-low asynchronous reset of internal ERR latch; clears stored error state immediately. |
| 12 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all digital and I/O currents; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 13 (VCC) | Power supply | +5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| 14–21 (B1–B8) | B-bus data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional 8-bit port; receives A→B data or supplies B→A data with parity check. |
| 22 (PARITY) | Generated parity bit | 9th output during A→B transfer; carries odd-parity value for A1–A8 or forced-inverted parity. |
| 23 (OEB) | B-side output enable | Active-low control enabling B1–B8 drivers; high = high-impedance B-bus output. |
| 24 (LE) | Latch-enable | Active-high edge-triggered strobe capturing current ERR state into internal register. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverted-parity diagnostic mode | When OEA=OEB=L, forces parity error to expose system-level fault injection paths and verify ERR handling. |
| ERR flag latching and clearing | LE and CLR provide deterministic capture and reset of transient parity errors for debug and logging. |
| Dual independent 3-state controls | OEA and OEB allow asymmetric bus isolation-e.g., A-bus active while B-bus tri-stated-enabling flexible arbitration. |
| ALS bipolar process | Delivers TTL-compatible speed/power trade-off: 8 ns delay with 100 mA max ICC, lower than standard LS. |
| Open-collector ERR with 24 mA sink | Supports multi-drop error bus wiring without level shifters; compatible with 5 V pull-up networks. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS29854DW | Faster propagation delay (5 ns vs. 8 ns), higher ICC (120 mA), AS-series TTL threshold (VIH = 2.0 V same, but VIH min tighter at 2.0 V). | Requires stricter VCC regulation and higher power budget; better suited for high-frequency bus clocks >150 MHz. | Select SN74AS29854DW only if timing closure demands sub-6 ns delay and system can accommodate increased power dissipation. |
| AM29854PC | Functionally identical per AMD datasheet, same pinout and logic, but PDIP-24 (PC) package and wider temp range (–55°C to +125°C). | Used in military/aerospace applications requiring extended temperature operation and through-hole assembly. | Choose AM29854PC when extended temperature compliance or through-hole mounting is mandatory; otherwise SN74ALS29854DW offers superior surface-mount manufacturability. |
Compared with SN74AS29854DW and AM29854PC, the SN74ALS29854DW balances commercial-temperature performance, low-power ALS efficiency, and SOIC-24 packaging-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial backplanes where 8 ns timing suffices and RoHS compliance is required.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74ALS29854DW in a data bus architecture?
The SN74ALS29854DW serves as an 8-bit to 9-bit parity bus transceiver that generates odd parity during A→B transfers and checks parity during B→A transfers. Its ERR output flags mismatches, while LE and CLR allow latching and clearing of error states-enabling robust data integrity monitoring in bidirectional bus systems without external logic.
How does the inverted-parity mode work on the SN74ALS29854DW?
When both OEA and OEB are low, the SN74ALS29854DW enters inverted-parity mode: it generates a deliberate parity error on the PARITY output during A→B transfer. This forces the ERR line low, providing a hardware-level diagnostic stimulus to verify downstream error-handling circuitry and software response without requiring corrupted data injection.
Can the SN74ALS29854DW operate with modern 3.3 V systems?
No-the SN74ALS29854DW is strictly a 5 V device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and absolute maximum ratings up to 7 V. It lacks 3.3 V tolerance and will not interface reliably with 3.3 V logic without level translation; it is intended for legacy 5 V ALS/TTL environments.
What is the purpose of the open-collector ERR output on the SN74ALS29854DW?
The open-collector ERR output on the SN74ALS29854DW enables wired-OR connection of multiple transceivers onto a shared error bus. Any device detecting a parity mismatch pulls ERR low, allowing centralized fault detection. An external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 5 V) is required to establish the high state when no error is present.
Is the SN74ALS29854DW pin-compatible with the AM29854 series?
Yes-the SN74ALS29854DW is functionally and pin-compatible with AMD's AM29854 in matching packages (e.g., DW SOIC-24). Both share identical pin assignments, logic behavior, and timing specifications, making them direct drop-in alternatives in commercial-temperature applications where ALS speed/power characteristics are acceptable.
