Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH162820DL from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V, 10-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with dual true outputs (Q1/Q2) per bit and 3-state output control, operating across 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply range, featuring bus-hold on all data inputs and integrated 26-Ω series output resistors for overshoot/undershoot suppression - used in high-density data buffering and bus interface applications in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH162820DL datasheet, SN74ALVCH162820DL pinout, SN74ALVCH162820DL application, or SN74ALVCH162820DL equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-output architecture, 56-pin SSOP (DL) package, -40°C to 85°C temperature rating, 150-MHz maximum clock frequency, and bus-hold input logic eliminating external pullup/pulldown components.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the positive edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and dual buffered outputs (Q1 and Q2) delivering identical logic states. Output-enable (OE) controls all 20 outputs simultaneously into high-impedance or active drive states without affecting internal flip-flop operation.
It uses TI's EPIC™ submicron CMOS process and incorporates bus-hold circuitry on all 10 data inputs (D1–D10), ensuring stable logic levels on unused or floating inputs. The outputs are designed for ±12 mA drive capability and include on-die 26-Ω series termination to minimize signal integrity issues on PCB traces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V domains |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-speed data latching in timing-critical bus interfaces |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 5.4 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures minimal latency between CLK↑ and Q output transition |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA - sufficient to directly drive standard CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Input Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VCC = 3 V - actively maintains valid logic state on unconnected D inputs |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 for robust handling in manufacturing environments |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and automation equipment |
Pinout & Package
The SN74ALVCH162820DL is housed in a 56-pin Plastic Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP), DL package type, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-118 compliant, body dimensions 18.54 mm × 7.59 mm × 2.79 mm (L × W × H), moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-1 at 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered global clock for all 10 flip-flops; must meet minimum pulse width (3.3 ns) and transition rate (10 ns/V) |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable inputs | Active-low enables/disables all 20 outputs; OE does not affect internal flip-flop state retention or clocking |
| D1–D10 | Data inputs | Asynchronous data inputs with integrated bus-hold; no external pullup/pulldown required when unused |
| 1Q1–10Q1, 1Q2–10Q2 | True outputs | Dual identical outputs per bit; each pair driven by same internal latch; 26-Ω series resistance reduces ringing |
| VCC, GND | Power terminals | Single-supply operation; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor per VCC pin; multiple VCC/GND pins reduce noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual true outputs per bit | Provides redundant or split-bus drive capability - e.g., one output for local logic, second for backplane transmission |
| Integrated 26-Ω series output resistors | Eliminates need for external source-series termination, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in high-speed routing |
| Bus-hold on all data inputs | Maintains last-valid logic state on floating D inputs, preventing metastability and eliminating discrete pull resistors |
| 3-state output control with OE independence | Allows concurrent data latching and bus release - critical for time-multiplexed shared-data-path architectures |
| Wide supply voltage range (1.65 V–3.6 V) | Enables interoperability across legacy 2.5-V and modern 1.8-V/3.3-V logic families without level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit dual-output flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16373DL | Octal transparent latch (not edge-triggered); single output per bit; no dual-Q architecture | Suitable for level-sensitive gating but lacks synchronous sampling capability required for clock-domain crossing | Select only when latch behavior (not flip-flop) and lower pin count are acceptable |
| SN74LVC16373ADL | Wider VCC range (1.65 V–5.5 V); no bus-hold; higher ICC (120 µA vs. 40 µA); no integrated 26-Ω resistors | Compatible with 5-V legacy systems but requires external termination and pull resistors for noise immunity | Choose when 5-V tolerance is mandatory and board space permits added passives |
Compared with SN74ALVCH162820DL, SN74ALVCH16373DL lacks edge-triggered operation and dual outputs, limiting timing precision and flexibility; SN74LVC16373ADL trades bus-hold and on-die termination for broader voltage support, increasing design complexity in noise-sensitive industrial layouts.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH162820DL to ensure predictable 3-state behavior?
TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a pullup resistor during power-up and power-down to guarantee high-impedance outputs. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; for most cases, a 10-kΩ resistor suffices. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes. The SN74ALVCH162820DL itself does not require a specific VCC ramp rate, but stable supply must be established before applying CLK or data. Always verify OE state before releasing reset in firmware.
Does SN74ALVCH162820DL support mixed-voltage operation between its inputs and outputs?
Yes - the SN74ALVCH162820DL supports mixed-voltage operation: inputs tolerate voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V (max 4.6 V), and outputs swing rail-to-rail within the VCC range (1.65 V–3.6 V). This allows interfacing with 1.8-V drivers while powered at 2.5 V or 3.3 V. However, VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC, so proper logic-level translation must be verified per supply condition. The SN74ALVCH162820DL does not include built-in level shifters; external biasing may be needed for non-monotonic voltage combinations.
How does the bus-hold feature on SN74ALVCH162820DL interact with externally pulled inputs?
The bus-hold circuitry on SN74ALVCH162820DL actively reinforces the last-seen logic state on D inputs but yields to stronger external signals. If an external pullup or pulldown resistor delivers more than ±75 µA (e.g., ≤67 kΩ at 3.3 V), it will override bus-hold. For reliable override, TI recommends external resistors ≤10 kΩ. In practice, bus-hold eliminates pull resistors for truly floating inputs but coexists safely with intentional biasing - no conflict occurs, and the SN74ALVCH162820DL remains functional under either configuration.
Can SN74ALVCH162820DL drive standard 50-Ω transmission lines directly without external termination?
No - the SN74ALVCH162820DL's integrated 26-Ω series resistors are optimized for suppressing overshoot/undershoot on short, unterminated PCB traces (e.g., <10 cm), not for impedance matching to 50-Ω lines. Driving a true 50-Ω load requires additional series or parallel termination. Using the SN74ALVCH162820DL alone into 50 Ω results in ~2:1 mismatch (26 Ω vs. 50 Ω), causing partial reflections. For clean 50-Ω signaling, add a 24-Ω series resistor (26 Ω + 24 Ω ≈ 50 Ω) or use a dedicated line-driver buffer.
Is SN74ALVCH162820DL pin-compatible with any earlier-generation TI flip-flops like SN74ALVCH162235?
No - SN74ALVCH162820DL is not pin-compatible with SN74ALVCH162235 or other members of the ALVCH16xxx family. While both are 56-pin SSOP flip-flops, SN74ALVCH162235 is a 12-bit registered transceiver with different pin allocation (e.g., separate A/B buses, direction control), whereas SN74ALVCH162820DL has dedicated CLK, dual Q outputs per bit, and two OE inputs. Pinouts differ fundamentally; PCB redesign is required. Always validate against the DL-package top-view diagram in SCES012H before substitution.
