Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16827DLR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. It features two independent 10-bit sections, each with dual output-enable inputs (OE1/OE2), bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, and operation across –40°C to 85°C. Used in high-density memory address/data buffering and backplane interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16827DLR datasheet, SN74ALVCH16827DLR pinout, SN74ALVCH16827DLR application, or SN74ALVCH16827DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-OE 3-state control logic, bus-hold input retention, 56-pin SSOP (DL) package compatibility, and 1.65–3.6 V wide-supply tolerance for mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVCH16827DLR implements two electrically isolated 10-bit buffer sections, where both OE inputs per section must be low to enable outputs; either high disables all ten Y outputs into high-impedance. Its EPIC™ submicron CMOS process enables fast propagation delay (tpd ≤ 4.1 ns at VCC = 1.8 V) and low dynamic power dissipation (Cpd = 16 pF typical at 1.8 V).
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused or floating A inputs without external resistors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. Absolute maximum ratings include ±50 mA continuous output current and 4.6 V absolute max supply voltage, supporting robust interoperability with legacy 5-V tolerant systems via level-shifting interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interfacing between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3 V - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with <4.1 ns propagation delay, supporting high-speed bus loading. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - Actively retains input state during float conditions, eliminating need for external pullup/pulldown resistors. |
| IOZ (Off-State Leakage) | ±10 µA at 3.6 V - Ensures minimal signal coupling when outputs are disabled, critical for shared-bus contention avoidance. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, telecom infrastructure, and automated test equipment. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015, enabling reliable handling in standard assembly environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 40 µA ICC typical at 3.6 V - Ultra-low static current supports battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVCH16827DLR is housed in a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP), designated DL, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 13.9–14.1 mm body width, and 1.2 mm max height. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for reflow up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Section Output Enable Inputs | Both OE signals per 10-bit section must be low to activate corresponding Y outputs; any high forces high-Z - enables fine-grained bus arbitration. |
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Data Inputs | Bus-hold enabled - retains last valid logic state when un-driven, preventing metastability in unterminated stubs or hot-swap scenarios. |
| 1Y1–1Y10, 2Y1–2Y10 | 3-State Buffered Outputs | Noninverting outputs with ±24 mA drive strength; high-Z state isolates sections during bus sharing or power sequencing. |
| VCC, GND | Power Rails | Dual VCC/GND pairs per 10-bit section - reduces switching noise coupling and improves PSRR in high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Independent 10-Bit Sections | Enables asynchronous control of two 10-bit buses using separate OE pairs - ideal for split-address/data paths or redundant channel buffering. |
| Integrated Bus-Hold Circuitry | Eliminates external biasing components on all 20 data inputs, reducing PCB area and assembly cost while improving reliability in noisy or intermittently connected systems. |
| Wide VCC Range (1.65–3.6 V) | Supports seamless integration across mixed-voltage FPGA I/O banks, ASIC core/logic domains, and legacy 3.3-V peripherals without external translation. |
| Low Propagation Delay | tpd ≤ 4.1 ns at 1.8 V ensures timing-critical applications (e.g., memory address latching, clock distribution fanout) meet tight setup/hold windows. |
| High ESD/Latch-Up Robustness | 2000 V HBM ESD rating and >250 mA latch-up immunity allow safe deployment in field-replaceable modules and industrial I/O cards. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 20-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA at 3.3 V only); no bus-hold; 16-bit (not 20-bit); TSSOP-48 package. | Lacks bus-hold and dual-OE per section; requires external pullups and cannot replace 20-bit functionality without redesign. | Select only if 16-bit width suffices and bus-hold is unnecessary; verify pinout mapping and OE logic compatibility. |
| SN74AVC16835DGGR | 20-bit, dual-OE, bus-hold, but supports 1.2–3.6 V; higher speed (tpd ≤ 2.8 ns at 1.8 V); TSSOP-56 package. | Broadened VCC range and faster timing suit next-gen ultra-low-voltage systems; identical functional behavior with improved specs. | Drop-in alternative for new designs requiring lower VCC headroom or tighter timing margins; same pinout and logic behavior as SN74ALVCH16827DLR. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR, SN74ALVCH16827DLR provides full 20-bit width, integrated bus-hold, and dual-OE control - essential for legacy-compatible industrial backplanes. Against SN74AVC16835DGGR, it trades minor speed/VCC-range advantages for proven long-term availability and established qualification history in deployed systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH16827DLR to avoid bus contention?
To prevent undefined output states during power-up, tie all OE inputs (1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2) to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability - typically 10 kΩ suffices for most applications. This ensures outputs remain in high-impedance until firmware asserts valid OE control, protecting downstream devices. The SN74ALVCH16827DLR datasheet specifies this requirement explicitly for safe initialization.
Does SN74ALVCH16827DLR support hot-swap operation with live backplane insertion?
Yes - SN74ALVCH16827DLR supports hot-swap due to its bus-hold circuitry on all 20 data inputs, which actively retains the last valid logic state during floating conditions. Combined with its 2000 V HBM ESD rating and robust 3.6 V absolute maximum VCC, the SN74ALVCH16827DLR withstands transient surges and contact bounce during live insertion into powered backplanes without latch-up or damage.
Can SN74ALVCH16827DLR operate reliably at 1.65 V VCC with full timing specifications met?
Yes - SN74ALVCH16827DLR is fully characterized down to 1.65 V VCC. At this minimum supply, propagation delay remains ≤ 4.1 ns (tpd), output enable time ≤ 6 ns (ten), and disable time ≤ 5.6 ns (tdis), all within datasheet limits. The device maintains ±4 mA drive strength and valid VIH/VIL thresholds across the entire 1.65–3.6 V range, making SN74ALVCH16827DLR suitable for ultra-low-power portable and battery-operated systems.
How does the dual-output-enable architecture of SN74ALVCH16827DLR improve system-level bus arbitration?
The dual-OE structure per 10-bit section (e.g., 1OE1 and 1OE2 for Section 1) requires both signals to be low for Y outputs to drive - enabling AND-gated bus enable logic. This allows hierarchical control: one OE may come from a global bus grant signal, the other from a local peripheral select, preventing accidental activation. In SN74ALVCH16827DLR, this architecture eliminates race conditions during multi-master arbitration and simplifies glue logic compared to single-OE alternatives.
Is SN74ALVCH16827DLR pin-compatible with earlier SN74ALVCH16827 variants in DL or DGG packages?
Yes - SN74ALVCH16827DLR shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and functional logic with all SN74ALVCH16827 variants in DL (SSOP) and DGG (TSSOP) packages. The "R" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging; core silicon and pin mapping are identical across SN74ALVCH16827DL, SN74ALVCH16827DL.B, SN74ALVCH16827DGGR, and SN74ALVCH16827DGGR.B. No PCB changes are required when substituting SN74ALVCH16827DLR for these variants.
