Product details
Overview
SN74LVC821DBLE from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit bus-interface D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation. It features edge-triggered clocking (CLK), buffered output-enable (OE), true-Q outputs, and supports mixed-mode signal operation with 5-V-tolerant inputs. It is used in bidirectional bus drivers, I/O port expansion, and working registers in industrial control and embedded computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC821DBLE datasheet, SN74LVC821DBLE pinout, SN74LVC821DBLE application, or SN74LVC821DBLE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state drive capability, 10-bit synchronous latching, 5.5-V input tolerance, Ioff partial-power-down support, and SSOP-24 package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with common clock (CLK) and output-enable (OE) control. Each flip-flop captures data on the rising edge of CLK and presents it at the corresponding Q output, while OE independently places all ten outputs into high-impedance state without affecting internal latch operation.
It supports mixed-voltage interfacing: inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct connection to 5-V logic in 3.3-V systems. The Ioff feature disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability across 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct interface with legacy 5-V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Max Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >100 MHz clock rates in high-speed bus buffering. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple inputs) without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - ensures safe isolation during partial power-down, meeting JESD78 requirements. |

Pinout & Package
SN74LVC821DBLE is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-150 compliant, body dimensions 8.20 mm × 3.50 mm × 1.75 mm (max height). Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: drives all 10 Q outputs to high-impedance when high; normal logic levels when low. |
| 2–11 | 1D–10D | Data inputs for each of ten D-type flip-flops; sampled on rising CLK edge. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O structures. |
| 13–22 | 1Q–10Q | True outputs; reflect stored D-input value after CLK edge, unless OE disables them. |
| 23 | VCC | Primary supply rail (1.65–3.6 V); powers core logic and output drivers. |
| 24 | CLK | Global clock input; positive-edge sensitive; synchronizes all ten flip-flops simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs enable seamless integration between 3.3-V system logic and 5-V peripherals without external translators. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging current backflow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion/removal in live backplanes or modular systems. |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | ±24 mA drive strength at 3.0 V ensures reliable signal integrity on loaded buses, eliminating need for external line drivers. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V typical at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signals and improves timing margin. |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD stress conditions. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74LVC821DBLE?
The SN74LVC821DBLE operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V on VCC. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. This specification is verified across –40°C to +85°C and documented in TI's SCAS304J datasheet Section 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions).
Is SN74LVC821DBLE pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVC821A family?
Yes - SN74LVC821DBLE shares identical pinout and logic function with all SN74LVC821A variants (e.g., DW, PW, DGV, NS), including the same 24-pin arrangement, CLK/OE/D/Q signal mapping, and power/ground locations. Mechanical differences exist only in package dimensions and thermal characteristics, not connectivity.
Does SN74LVC821DBLE support partial power-down operation?
Yes, SN74LVC821DBLE incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting current backflow to ±10 µA (per datasheet Section 6.5). This allows safe use in hot-swap or modular systems where subsystems may be powered independently.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LVC821DBLE?
SN74LVC821DBLE supports up to 150 MHz clock frequency at VCC ≥ 2.7 V, as specified in the Timing Requirements table (Section 3). At 3.3 V, propagation delay is 7.3 ns, yielding a practical maximum toggle rate exceeding 68 MHz under load - sufficient for most industrial bus and control applications.
How does the output-enable (OE) function behave during power-up?
During power-up, OE should be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance until firmware initializes the device. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's sink capability; TI recommends ≥10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers, as detailed in Section 7.2 of the SN74LVC821A datasheet.
