Product details
Overview
SN74BCT29827BNT from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit non-inverting buffer/driver with dual active-low 3-state enable inputs (OE1, OE2), BiCMOS output stage, 96 mA sink current capability per output, and SOIC-24 (NT) package. It interfaces wide data buses or memory address registers in industrial control backplanes requiring high-drive, low-ICCZ bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT29827BNT datasheet, SN74BCT29827BNT pinout, SN74BCT29827BNT application, or SN74BCT29827BNT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH ≤ 10.6 ns), VCC = 4.5–5.5 V operation, IOL = 96 mA drive strength, and flow-through pinout for PCB layout optimization.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-gated 3-state control architecture: both OE1 and OE2 must be low to enable outputs; either high forces all ten Y outputs into high-impedance. Inputs use P-N-P structure to minimize DC loading on upstream logic.
BiCMOS design delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOL = 48 mA), and ultra-low quiescent current in 3-state (ICCZ ≤ 6 mA at VCC = 5.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| IOL per Output | 96 mA - Supports direct driving of heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) without external buffers. |
| tPZH (OE→Y) | 10.6 ns max - Enables fast bus release timing critical for high-speed memory address latching. |
| ICCZ (3-State) | 6 mA max - Reduces system standby power in multi-driver bus architectures. |
| Input Clamp Current | −18 mA - Protects against transient overvoltage (e.g., ESD events) without external diodes. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including industrial HMIs and PLC modules. |
Pinout & Package
SN74BCT29827BNT is supplied in a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package, designated NT by Texas Instruments, with 300-mil width and standard JEDEC MO-002AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low 3-state enables - Dual-input AND logic ensures fail-safe high-Z during power sequencing or control faults. |
| 2–11, 14–23 | A1–A10, Y1–Y10 | Buffer input/output pairs - Flow-through arrangement (A1→Y1 at pins 2/23, A2→Y2 at 3/22, etc.) minimizes trace crossovers. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - Dedicated pin adjacent to VCC (pin 24) reduces ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 24 | VCC | Power supply - Decoupling capacitor placement is optimized by proximity to GND (pin 12) and symmetric pin layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS Output Stage | Delivers 96 mA sink current while maintaining <6 mA ICCZ in 3-state - eliminates need for discrete pull-down networks in bus-hold designs. |
| P-N-P Input Structure | Reduces input DC loading to ≤0.2 mA (IIL) - prevents voltage droop on weak-drive microcontroller GPIOs or legacy TTL outputs. |
| Flow-Through Pinout | Input A1–A10 and output Y1–Y10 arranged in mirrored sequence across package - cuts PCB layer count by enabling straight-layer routing. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2000 V HBM and ≥200 V MM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for industrial equipment without external TVS diodes. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus Interface | Memory Address Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU address lines from multiple peripheral slots in modular PLC chassis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 10-bit unidirectional buffer with simultaneous 3-state control for hot-swap slot arbitration. Use Value: tPZH ≤ 10.6 ns ensures address bus release before next cycle's setup time; 96 mA drive sustains signal integrity across 15 cm backplane traces. |
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address bus segments in legacy 80C188-based motion controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting level translator and fanout amplifier between microcontroller and SRAM/Flash chips. Use Value: VOH ≥ 2.4 V at 48 mA guarantees TTL-compatible logic '1' under worst-case termination; BiCMOS speed avoids wait-state insertion. |
| High-Density Data Path Isolation | Legacy System Bus Expansion |
Use Scenario: Adding parallel I/O expansion to an ISA-bus industrial PC without modifying motherboard layout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver (with external direction control) for 10-bit data lanes. Use Value: Dual OE inputs allow independent gating of upper/lower nibbles; ICCZ ≤ 6 mA prevents thermal derating in dense 4-layer boards. |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete 74F244 in retrofitted CNC machine tool controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible upgrade delivering higher drive strength and lower static power than F-series equivalents. Use Value: Identical SOIC-24 footprint (NT) and logic function enables drop-in replacement; 96 mA IOL supports modern optocoupler input thresholds. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT244N | 8-bit (not 10-bit); CMOS input, no P-N-P structure; IOL = 24 mA; tPZH = 9.5 ns | Lacks dual OE control; insufficient drive for >50 pF bus loads; requires two devices for 10-bit coverage | Select when space-constrained layouts prioritize speed over drive strength and bit-width match is flexible. |
| SN74LS244N | Bipolar TTL; IOL = 15 mA; ICCZ = 32 mA; no BiCMOS efficiency; VCC = 4.75–5.25 V only | Higher power dissipation limits density; incompatible with 5.5 V tolerant systems; slower tPLH (15 ns) | Choose only for legacy repair where exact LS-family timing and voltage margins are mandated. |
Compared with SN74ACT244N and SN74LS244N, the SN74BCT29827BNT uniquely combines 10-bit width, dual 3-state control, 96 mA drive, and BiCMOS low-ICCZ-making it the sole option for high-fanout, low-power, single-package bus isolation in commercial-temperature industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for SN74BCT29827BNT?
The SN74BCT29827BNT is rated for 96 mA low-level output current (IOL) per Y output at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25°C. This value is confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" table of the official SCBS008C datasheet and enables direct driving of heavy capacitive loads without external amplification. The SN74BCT29827BNT maintains this rating across its full 0°C to 70°C operating range.
Does SN74BCT29827BNT support true bidirectional data flow?
No, the SN74BCT29827BNT is a unidirectional 10-bit buffer: signals flow only from A1–A10 inputs to Y1–Y10 outputs. It lacks internal direction control or bus transceiver logic. Bidirectional operation requires external control of OE1/OE2 and companion devices - the SN74BCT29827BNT itself does not implement automatic direction sensing or auto-reversing functionality.
What is the meaning of "NT" in SN74BCT29827BNT?
The "NT" suffix in SN74BCT29827BNT denotes Texas Instruments' plastic small-outline IC (SOIC) package with 24 leads and 300-mil body width - identical in mechanical dimensions and footprint to the DW package variant but historically assigned distinct orderable part numbers for tube packaging and marking differentiation. Both NT and DW share identical electrical specs and pinout.
How does the dual OE architecture of SN74BCT29827BNT improve system reliability?
The SN74BCT29827BNT uses two active-low enable inputs (OE1 and OE2) wired as an AND gate: both must be low to activate outputs. This design ensures automatic high-impedance state during power-up/down, reset assertion, or single-control-line failure - preventing bus contention in fault conditions. The SN74BCT29827BNT remains safely isolated even if one enable line floats or shorts.
Can SN74BCT29827BNT operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the SN74BCT29827BNT is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended operating conditions. Applying 3.3 V violates the minimum supply requirement and will result in undefined logic thresholds, degraded noise margins, and unreliable 3-state control. For 3.3 V systems, TI recommends the SN74LVC244A or similar LVC-family devices instead of the SN74BCT29827BNT.
