Product details
Overview
SN74BCT29823DW from Texas Instruments is a 9-bit edge-triggered D-type bus-interface flip-flop with 3-state outputs, noninverting data inputs, clock-enable (CLKEN), asynchronous clear (CLR), and buffered output-enable (OE). It operates at 5 V, supports up to 125 MHz clock frequency, drives capacitive bus loads directly, and is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT29823DW datasheet, SN74BCT29823DW pinout, SN74BCT29823DW application, or SN74BCT29823DW equivalent, key selection considerations include its 9-bit synchronous latching capability, high-current 3-state drive (±48 mA IOL/IOH), BiCMOS low-ICCZ quiescent current, and compatibility with TTL-level control signals in legacy bus interface designs.
Technical Context
This device implements nine independent D-type flip-flops sharing common CLK, CLKEN, CLR, and OE controls. Clocking is positive-edge triggered with CLKEN gating the clock buffer; asserting CLR forces all Q outputs low asynchronously. OE places outputs in high-impedance without affecting internal state retention or clock/data sampling.
The BiCMOS process enables 3.2 V VOH at −24 mA load while maintaining ICCZ ≤ 6 mA at VCC = 5.5 V - significantly lower than equivalent bipolar TTL devices. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive strength are fully compatible with standard TTL logic families.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 9-bit bus-interface flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT273DW | 8-bit (not 9-bit), no CLKEN, single global CLR, same SOIC-20 package | Lacks clock enable and one bit; unsuitable for 9-bit bus widths or gated clock domains | Select only if 8-bit width suffices and clock gating is unnecessary |
| SN74LS273N | Bipolar TTL process, higher ICCZ (≈60 mA), slower max frequency (30 MHz), PDIP-20 package | Lower drive (IOL = 24 mA), incompatible with high-speed or low-power designs | Consider only for legacy board replacements where BiCMOS advantages are not required |
Compared with SN74ACT273DW and SN74LS273N, the SN74BCT29823DW uniquely delivers 9-bit width, clock-enable control, BiCMOS efficiency, and 125 MHz operation - making it the only option among the three for high-performance, pin-compatible 9-bit bus latching in modernized 5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the CLKEN pin on the SN74BCT29823DW?
The CLKEN (clock-enable) pin on the SN74BCT29823DW is an active-low input that gates the clock signal path to the internal D-type flip-flops. When CLKEN is low, the device responds to rising edges on CLK; when CLKEN is high, the clock buffer is disabled and outputs retain their last latched state. This enables precise control over data capture windows without altering the clock signal itself - a key feature distinguishing the SN74BCT29823DW from simpler latches.
Does the SN74BCT29823DW support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The SN74BCT29823DW does not include explicit hot-swap protection circuitry, but its absolute maximum ratings allow VO = −0.5 V to 5.5 V on disabled outputs and its high-impedance state (activated by OE) isolates the outputs from the bus. When OE is asserted before power-up or during removal, the SN74BCT29823DW can be safely inserted or removed in live-bus systems - provided external design measures (e.g., series resistors, slew-rate limiting) are implemented per system-level requirements.
What is the minimum pulse width required for the CLR signal on the SN74BCT29823DW?
The minimum pulse width for the CLR signal on the SN74BCT29823DW is 6 ns at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the timing requirements table. This short assertion time allows fast, reliable asynchronous reset of all nine Q outputs to logic low, independent of clock or CLKEN state - a critical capability for fault recovery in real-time control systems using the SN74BCT29823DW.
Can the SN74BCT29823DW operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the SN74BCT29823DW is not characterized or guaranteed for operation at 3.3 V. Its recommended operating conditions specify VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and electrical characteristics (e.g., VOH ≥ 2.4 V at −15 mA) assume 4.5–5.5 V supply. Attempting to run the SN74BCT29823DW at 3.3 V may result in insufficient noise margin, marginal output drive, or functional failure - use a 5 V supply or select a 3.3 V–compatible alternative for such designs.
How does the BiCMOS process benefit the SN74BCT29823DW compared to standard TTL versions?
The BiCMOS process used in the SN74BCT29823DW reduces ICCZ (quiescent supply current) to ≤6 mA - roughly one-tenth that of equivalent bipolar TTL devices like the SN74LS273. This lowers static power consumption significantly while retaining full TTL-compatible output drive (48 mA sink), input thresholds, and speed. As a result, the SN74BCT29823DW delivers superior power efficiency without sacrificing interoperability in legacy 5 V systems.
