Product details
Overview
SN74ALS29854DWR 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. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, supports 0°C to 70°C ambient, and delivers ≤13 ns propagation delay (CL = 300 pF) in SOIC-24 package. It is used in legacy industrial backplanes and fault-tolerant data buses requiring real-time parity error detection and flag storage.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS29854DWR datasheet, SN74ALS29854DWR pinout, SN74ALS29854DWR application, or SN74ALS29854DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include open-collector ERR assertion timing (tPHL/tPLH ≤20 ns), inverted-parity diagnostic mode, latch-controlled error flag retention, and compatibility with ALS logic voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V).
Technical Context
The SN74ALS29854DWR implements a synchronous 9-bit parity engine: eight data bits plus one parity bit are processed across bidirectional A and B ports. Parity generation occurs on A→B transfers; parity checking occurs on B→A transfers with PARITY input, producing ERR low on mismatch. The ERR flag is edge-triggered by LE and asynchronously cleared by CLR.
Its control architecture separates bus isolation (OEA/OEB), error sampling (LE), and flag reset (CLR). When OEA and OEB are both low, A→B transfer occurs with inverted parity - a forced-error mode for system diagnostics. ERR output is open-collector, requiring external pull-up, and functions as both real-time indicator and latched status register.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74ALS29854DWR is housed in a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, with 300-mil body width and 1.27-mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by beveled corner or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEA | A-side output enable | Active-low control enabling A-port drivers; when high, A outputs go high-impedance. |
| OEB | B-side output enable | Active-low control enabling B-port drivers; when high, B outputs go high-impedance. |
| LE | Latch-enable | Positive-edge triggered strobe capturing current ERR state into internal latch for persistent error reporting. |
| CLR | Asynchronous clear | Active-low signal resetting ERR latch regardless of LE state - critical for error recovery sequences. |
| A1–A8 | A-bus data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port connected to local CPU or controller bus; direction controlled by OEA/OEB states. |
| B1–B8 | B-bus data inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional port linked to remote peripheral or memory bus; parity-checked during B→A transfer. |
| PARITY | 9th-bit I/O | Generated odd-parity bit on A→B; expected parity input on B→A; drives or samples same net. |
| ERR | Open-collector error flag | Active-low output indicating parity mismatch on B→A transfer; latched or passed based on LE/CLR timing. |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V supply pin (Pin 13); decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for noise immunity. |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground (Pin 12); must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 9-bit parity generator/checker | Eliminates need for external XOR trees or discrete parity ICs, reducing board area and interconnect complexity. |
| Open-collector ERR with latch capability | Enables wired-OR error aggregation across multiple transceivers and supports non-volatile error logging via external microcontroller sampling. |

Use Scenario: Data transmission between main CPU module and distributed I/O rack over 20-cm parallel bus with >100 pF trace capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 8-bit data + parity transceiver performing real-time odd-parity generation on outbound writes and checking on inbound reads; ERR flags single-bit corruption. Use Value: Detects physical layer faults (e.g., connector oxidation, crosstalk) before corrupted data reaches firmware, reducing false alarm rate in safety-monitored PLCs. |
Use Scenario: Extending 8086/80286 local bus to off-board memory expansion card using 24-pin ribbon cable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus repeater with parity validation; PARITY pin carries generated bit from CPU side and verifies it on return path. Use Value: Enables hot-plug detection via ERR assertion during card insertion/removal, triggering BIOS-level bus reinitialization without system reset. |
| Fault-Tolerant Diagnostic Subsystem | Redundant Controller Synchronization |
|
Use Scenario: Dual-redundant controller pair comparing status registers via shared parity bus; ERR signals divergence. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parity comparator feeding ERR to interrupt controller; LE captures first error event; CLR resets after diagnostic routine completes. Use Value: Provides deterministic, hardware-asserted fault indication with <20 ns latency - faster than software CRC polling and immune to CPU lockup. |
Use Scenario: Two identical motion controllers exchanging position commands and checksums over isolated differential bus with local parity verification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local parity transceiver validating command integrity before execution; inverted-parity mode validates bus driver health during self-test.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29854PC | Functionally identical pinout and logic, but rated for 0°C to 70°C only; no inverted-parity mode documented in AMD datasheet. | Valid for drop-in replacement where diagnostic inverted-parity is unused; lacks TI's ERR latch timing specification. | Select AM29854PC only if sourcing legacy AMD stock; verify CLR/LE timing against actual board layout parasitics. |
| SN74AS29854DWR | Faster propagation (≤6 ns @ CL=50 pF), higher drive (IOL=64 mA), but consumes ~2× more ICC (140 mA vs. 100 mA max). | Suitable for high-speed backplanes (>20 MHz bus clock), but requires enhanced thermal management and tighter VCC regulation. | Choose SN74AS29854DWR when timing margin is critical and power/thermal budget permits; not recommended for battery-backed or thermally constrained modules. |
Compared with AM29854PC and SN74AS29854DWR, the SN74ALS29854DWR offers optimal balance of speed, power, and diagnostic capability for commercial-temperature industrial backplanes - especially where inverted-parity testing and latch-controlled error persistence are required.

FAQ
What is the function of the PARITY pin on the SN74ALS29854DWR?
The PARITY pin on the SN74ALS29854DWR serves as a bidirectional 9th-bit interface: during A→B data transfer, it outputs odd-parity of A1–A8; during B→A transfer, it accepts the corresponding parity bit from the B bus for checking. Its state directly determines ERR output behavior - mismatch triggers active-low ERR assertion, and the pin must be driven with correct logic level during each direction of operation to ensure valid parity validation in the SN74ALS29854DWR.
How does the inverted-parity mode work in the SN74ALS29854DWR?
The SN74ALS29854DWR enters inverted-parity mode when both OEA and OEB are low - it generates and outputs the complement of true odd parity on the PARITY pin, guaranteeing ERR goes low regardless of A-bus data content. This forced-error condition enables hardware-level bus driver and interconnect diagnostics without software involvement, and is a unique feature confirmed in the SN74ALS29854DWR function table and logic diagram.
Can the ERR output of the SN74ALS29854DWR drive multiple TTL inputs directly?
Yes - the ERR output of the SN74ALS29854DWR is open-collector rated for 48 mA sink current (IOL), sufficient to drive up to six standard TTL inputs (each requiring ~1.6 mA) with a properly sized external pull-up resistor. However, total capacitive load must remain ≤300 pF to maintain specified 20 ns response time; exceeding this degrades ERR assertion timing in the SN74ALS29854DWR.
What is the minimum pulse width required for LE and CLR on the SN74ALS29854DWR?
The SN74ALS29854DWR requires a minimum 10 ns pulse width for both LE and CLR inputs to ensure reliable latching or clearing of the ERR flag register, as specified in the recommended operating conditions table. Pulses shorter than 10 ns may result in metastability or incomplete state transition, causing intermittent error flag behavior that cannot be guaranteed across temperature and voltage extremes for the SN74ALS29854DWR.
Is the SN74ALS29854DWR RoHS compliant?
Yes - the SN74ALS29854DWR is Pb-Free (RoHS compliant) with CU NIPDAU lead finish and meets JEDEC MSL Level-2-250°C-1 Year moisture sensitivity classification, as documented in TI's official packaging information. This RoHS compliance applies specifically to the DW package variant and is verified for the SN74ALS29854DWR orderable device.
