Product details
Overview
SN74BCT29853DWR from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit to 9-bit BiCMOS bus transceiver with integrated parity generator/checker, TTL-compatible inputs/outputs, open-collector ERR flag, and latch-enable/clear control. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V at 0°C–70°C and supports bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses with real-time parity validation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT29853DWR datasheet, SN74BCT29853DWR pinout, SN74BCT29853DWR application, or SN74BCT29853DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its flow-through pinout, inverted-parity diagnostic mode, ERR flag latching behavior, and BiCMOS standby current reduction versus legacy TTL bus transceivers.
Technical Context
The SN74BCT29853DWR implements a dual-mode 9-bit parity engine: it generates odd parity during A→B transmission and checks parity (including forced-inverted parity for diagnostics) during B→A transmission. Its ERR output is open-collector and can be sampled, stored via LE, or cleared via CLR - independent of bus direction control.
Control logic decodes OEA/OEB states to enable A→B transfer with parity generation, B→A transfer with parity checking, isolation mode (both enables high), or inverted-parity mode (OEA=OEB=L). The device uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve TTL-level interface compatibility while reducing ICCZ to 30–45 mA versus standard bipolar 29853 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - specified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns to 10 ns - ensures sub-10 ns bus turnaround in high-speed backplane or memory-mapped I/O systems. |
| Output Drive | −24 mA IOH / 48 mA IOL - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines. |
| ERR Output Type | Open-collector - allows wired-OR fault-bus architectures and direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V interrupt controllers. |
| Parity Function | Odd parity generation and checking - detects single-bit errors on 8-bit data + 1 parity bit paths. |
| Standby Current | 30–45 mA ICCZ - reduced vs. bipolar equivalents, enabling lower power in idle bus segments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74BCT29853DWR is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil width and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch; the package is RoHS-compliant per TI's Pb-Free (RoHS) eco plan.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEA | Output Enable A | Active-low control enabling A-port drivers; when low, A1–A8 drive B1–B8 (with parity gen). |
| A1–A8 | Data Inputs / Outputs (A side) | Bidirectional I/O ports for A bus; function as inputs when OEA high, outputs when OEA low. |
| ERR | Parity Error Flag | Open-collector output asserting low on parity mismatch; requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| CLR | Clear Input | Active-low asynchronous reset of ERR latch; forces ERR output high regardless of parity state. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin to suppress switching noise. |
| B1–B8 | Data Inputs / Outputs (B side) | Bidirectional I/O ports for B bus; function as inputs when OEB high, outputs when OEB low. |
| PARITY | Parity Output | 9th-bit output reflecting odd parity of A1–A8; used as input during B→A parity check mode. |
| OEB | Output Enable B | Active-low control enabling B-port drivers; when low, B1–B8 drive A1–A8 (with parity check). |
| LE | Latch Enable | Active-high edge-triggered strobe capturing current ERR state into internal latch for diagnostic hold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | All inputs (A1–A8, OEA, OEB, LE, CLR) located on left side; all outputs (B1–B8, PARITY, ERR) on right - simplifies PCB routing and reduces crosstalk. |
| Inverted-parity diagnostic mode | When OEA=OEB=L, generated parity is inverted to force ERR assertion - enables hardware-level fault injection for system self-test. |
| ERR flag latching | LE input captures transient parity errors for persistent fault reporting, eliminating need for continuous polling or fast ISR response. |
| BiCMOS process | Combines TTL input thresholds with CMOS-like standby current (ICCZ ≤ 45 mA), reducing thermal load in dense bus interfaces. |
| Functionally equivalent to Am29853 | Direct drop-in replacement for AMD's industry-standard 29853 in legacy designs, preserving timing, pinout, and logic behavior. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74BCT29853NT | Dual-in-line package (PDIP, NT), same electrical specs and pinout; higher thermal resistance and larger footprint. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SOIC reflow is unavailable. | Select SN74BCT29853NT only when manual assembly or socket-based debugging is required. |
| Am29853PC | Identical function and pinout; bipolar process yields higher ICCZ (≈120 mA) and slower tPLH/tPHL (≈15 ns typical). | Compatible in existing Am29853-based designs but increases power and reduces maximum bus frequency. | Choose Am29853PC only if BiCMOS availability is constrained and system thermal budget permits higher standby current. |
Compared with SN74BCT29853NT and Am29853PC, the SN74BCT29853DWR delivers identical functionality in a space-efficient SOIC package with 60% lower standby current and 30% faster propagation - making it optimal for new designs prioritizing density and power efficiency.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74BCT29853DWR in a data bus system?
The SN74BCT29853DWR serves as an 8-bit bidirectional bus transceiver with integrated odd-parity generation and checking. During A→B transfer, it appends a parity bit; during B→A transfer, it validates that parity. Its ERR output flags mismatches, and the latch-enable (LE) and clear (CLR) inputs allow controlled capture and reset of error states - making the SN74BCT29853DWR essential for hardware-level data integrity in mission-critical bus architectures.
Does the SN74BCT29853DWR support both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels?
No, the SN74BCT29853DWR is a 5 V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and operates strictly from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It does not tolerate 3.3 V supply or I/O voltages. Driving its inputs from 3.3 V sources may cause undefined logic states; level translation is required for mixed-voltage systems using the SN74BCT29853DWR.
How does the inverted-parity mode work on the SN74BCT29853DWR?
When both OEA and OEB are low, the SN74BCT29853DWR enters inverted-parity mode: it generates even parity instead of odd parity during A→B transfer, forcing the ERR output active (low) regardless of data content. This provides a deterministic fault condition for system diagnostics - allowing engineers to verify ERR path integrity, latch behavior, and interrupt handling without injecting actual bit errors. The SN74BCT29853DWR's datasheet explicitly defines this as a design feature for enhanced testability.
Can the ERR output of the SN74BCT29853DWR drive multiple loads directly?
Yes - the ERR output is open-collector and rated for 20 µA leakage at VOH = 2.4 V, supporting wired-OR configurations. It can sink up to 48 mA (IOL), enabling direct connection to multiple 5 V interrupt inputs or pull-up resistors. However, total capacitive load must remain ≤50 pF to meet specified 1.5–24 ns timing; exceeding this degrades setup/hold margins for LE- and CLR-triggered operations in the SN74BCT29853DWR.
Is the SN74BCT29853DWR still in active production?
No - according to Texas Instruments' official packaging addendum, the SN74BCT29853DWR is marked "OBSOLETE". TI discontinued manufacturing, but Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers full traceability, extended lifecycle support, and obsolescence mitigation services for the SN74BCT29853DWR to sustain long-life industrial and defense programs.
