Product details
Overview
SN74LVC821PWLE 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 on the positive CLK transition, buffered output-enable (OE) control, and mixed-mode I/O compatibility-accepting 5.5 V inputs while operating at 3.3 V VCC. It is used in bidirectional bus drivers with parity and wide buffer register implementations.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC821PWLE datasheet, SN74LVC821PWLE pinout, SN74LVC821PWLE application, or SN74LVC821PWLE equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin TSSOP package, 7.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, Ioff partial-power-down support, 3.6 V absolute maximum supply rating, and true 10-bit synchronous latch behavior with independent OE control.
Technical Context
This device implements ten identical edge-triggered D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CLK) and output-enable (OE) signal. 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 storage.
Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, and input tolerance up to 5.5 V enables use as a level translator between 3.3-V and 5-V domains. The design supports highly capacitive bus loading via strong drive capability (±24 mA at 3 V) and low ground bounce (<0.8 V typical VOLP).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into modern low-voltage logic systems including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V domains. |
| Max tpd | 7.3 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports reliable operation up to 150 MHz clock frequency in high-speed bus interfaces. |
| Ioff Support | Yes - Prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down system architectures. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without external level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - Sufficient to drive heavily loaded PCB traces or multiple CMOS inputs without buffering. |
| 3-State Enable Delay | 6.2 ns max tdis - Ensures fast bus release for time-critical shared-bus arbitration. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, RoHS-compliant green finish (Pb-free, no Sb/Br).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | Data Inputs (1D–10D) | Asynchronous parallel data inputs feeding respective D-type latches; accept 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 11 | Output Enable (OE) | Active-low control: drives all Q outputs to high-impedance when high; does not affect internal latch state. |
| 12 | GND | Power return reference for all logic and I/O circuits; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 13 | VCC | Primary supply rail (1.65–3.6 V); powers internal logic and output drivers; bypassing required per TI layout guidelines. |
| 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 | Outputs (1Q–10Q) | True (non-inverted) latched outputs; each capable of sourcing/sinking ±24 mA in active state; high-Z when OE = high. |
| 24 | CLK | Global positive-edge clock input; synchronizes capture of all ten D inputs simultaneously into respective Q outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode I/O | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs enable interoperability between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V peripherals without external translators. |
| Ioff protection | Prevents current backflow during power sequencing or partial shutdown, meeting JESD78 Class II latch-up robustness (>250 mA). |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures stable logic-low levels under heavy capacitive switching loads. |
| Fast enable/disable | 6.2 ns max tdis and 7.6 ns max ten allow rapid bus turnaround in time-multiplexed memory or peripheral interfaces. |
| Small-footprint packaging | TSSOP-24 reduces board area by ~40% vs SOIC-24 while maintaining full 10-bit bus-width capability. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module Bus Buffer |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit bus-interface flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC821APWR | Same silicon, identical electrical specs, but in active production status (vs. SN74LVC821PWLE's OBSOLETE status); same TSSOP-24 package, 2000-piece reel packaging. | Designed for volume manufacturing programs requiring guaranteed long-term supply and standard tape-and-reel logistics. | Select SN74LVC821APWR for new designs needing assured availability, full TI warranty, and automated placement compatibility. |
| SN74LVC821ADWR | SOIC-24 package (DW), higher thermal resistance (θJA = 46°C/W vs. PW's 88°C/W), same logic function and timing specs; requires larger PCB footprint. | Better suited for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy board upgrades where TSSOP rework is impractical. | Choose SN74LVC821ADWR when board space permits larger package or when leveraging existing SOIC footprints and tooling. |
Compared with SN74LVC821PWLE, SN74LVC821APWR offers identical performance with active production support and scalable packaging, while SN74LVC821ADWR trades compactness for mechanical robustness and ease of hand-soldering-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package geometries, but both implement the exact same logic architecture and timing behavior.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by SN74LVC821PWLE?
The SN74LVC821PWLE operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, with full functionality-including specified timing, drive strength, and I/O voltage tolerance-guaranteed across this range. At 1.65 V, it retains data but may exhibit reduced speed; at 3.6 V, it meets all AC/DC specifications per the SCAS304J datasheet. Operation outside this range risks damage or undefined behavior.
Does SN74LVC821PWLE support 5-V input signals?
Yes, SN74LVC821PWLE accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all D and OE pins, regardless of VCC level. This allows direct connection to 5-V logic outputs without external level shifters, making it suitable for mixed-voltage system interfacing-e.g., bridging a 5-V sensor bus to a 3.3-V microcontroller.
Is SN74LVC821PWLE pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74LVC821A family?
No-SN74LVC821PWLE uses the TSSOP-24 (PW) package, which has different pad layout, pitch (0.65 mm), and mechanical dimensions than SOIC-24 (DW), SSOP-24 (DB), or TVSOP-24 (DGV) variants. While all share identical pin functions and numbering, physical mounting and soldering require package-specific footprints; no PCB redesign is possible without layout revision.
What is the meaning of Ioff support in SN74LVC821PWLE?
Ioff support in SN74LVC821PWLE refers to an integrated circuit feature that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow from live I/O lines into the unpowered device. This protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap, partial power-down, or system reset sequences and is validated per JESD78 latch-up standards.
Can SN74LVC821PWLE be used as a level translator between 3.3-V and 5-V domains?
Yes-SN74LVC821PWLE functions as a unidirectional level translator: its inputs tolerate 5.5 V while operating at 1.65–3.6 V VCC, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC). When driven by 5-V logic, it safely latches and re-drives at 3.3 V levels, enabling clean domain bridging in bus interfaces without external components.
