Product details
Overview
74ABT2244CMSA from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with integrated 25Ω series output resistors, designed for driving high-capacitance MOS memory and bus-oriented loads. It operates at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivers 32mA output drive (IOH), supports 3.9ns max propagation delay, and features dual independent 3-state enables (OE1/OE2) for grouped channel control in address/data bus applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT2244CMSA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed latchup protection, hot-insertion capability, glitch-free bus loading during power-up/down, and built-in termination eliminating external resistors in high-speed digital interfaces.
Technical Context
The 74ABT2244CMSA implements two independent 4-bit buffered groups (I0–I3/O0–O3 and I4–I7/O4–O7), each controlled by its own active-low output enable (OE1, OE2). Its ABT logic family ensures TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V) and fast AC performance across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Each output integrates a 25Ω series resistor to dampen signal reflections on transmission lines, reducing ringing without requiring PCB-level termination. The device maintains high-impedance outputs during power transitions and withstands ±300mA latchup current per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.5V to +5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL and CMOS systems while maintaining noise margin. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 3.9ns at CL = 50pF - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data buses up to ~250MHz toggle rate. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | –32mA / +15mA - Sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or capacitive traces without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V - Guarantees robust logic level recognition across voltage and temperature variations. |
| Output Series Resistance | 25Ω per output - Integrated termination eliminates need for discrete 22–33Ω resistors in point-to-point or stubbed bus layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications with no derating required. |
| Power Supply Current (ICCL) | 30mA max (all outputs LOW) - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal budgeting in dense logic designs. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT2244CMSA is housed in a 20-lead Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP), JEDEC MO-150 compliant, 5.3mm wide, with 0.65mm lead pitch and gull-wing terminations suitable for fine-pitch surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | I0–I7 Inputs | Non-inverting data inputs; accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; high-impedance when OE asserted. |
| 9, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low group enables; OE1 controls O0–O3, OE2 controls O4–O7; both must be LOW for output drive. |
| 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | O0–O7 Outputs | Buffered non-inverting outputs with integrated 25Ω series resistance; enter high-Z when respective OE is HIGH. |
| 20 | VCC | +4.5V to +5.5V supply rail; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin critical for noise suppression. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25Ω output series resistors | Eliminates external termination components, reduces PCB area, and suppresses overshoot/ringing on 50–75Ω trace environments. |
| Guaranteed latchup protection | Withstands ±300mA latchup current across full operating range, enabling robustness in noisy or hot-swap environments. |
| Glitch-free 3-state during power sequencing | Maintains high-impedance outputs throughout power-up and power-down cycles, preventing bus contention in multi-rail systems. |
| Nondestructive hot-insertion capability | Allows safe insertion/removal while powered - critical for modular backplane and field-replaceable unit (FRU) designs. |
| Dual independent output enables | Enables selective activation of upper/lower 4-bit groups (O0–O3 vs. O4–O7), supporting split-bus or interleaved addressing schemes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244DBR | TI version in SSOP-20 (same MSA20 footprint); identical DC/AC specs but different ICCZ (40µA vs. 50µA) and slightly tighter tPZH min (1.4ns). | Same industrial temperature range and 25Ω output resistors; validated for TI-based reference designs using TMS320Cxx DSPs. | Drop-in compatible for TI-centric designs; verify layout clearance for TI's package marking location. |
| 74LVT2244MTCX | ON Semiconductor LVT variant: lower VCC range (2.7–3.6V), higher speed (tPLH max 2.8ns), no integrated 25Ω resistors - requires external termination. | Targeted at 3.3V systems only; unsuitable for 5V bus interfacing without level shifting; used in portable instrumentation where power efficiency is prioritized. | Select only for 3.3V-only designs needing faster timing; not interchangeable without schematic and layout changes. |
Compared with SN74ABT2244DBR and 74LVT2244MTCX, the 74ABT2244CMSA uniquely combines 5V operation, integrated 25Ω termination, and industrial temperature support - making it optimal for legacy 5V backplanes and memory subsystems where board space and reliability outweigh marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ABT2244CMSA?
The 74ABT2244CMSA does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous buffer. Its usable data rate is determined by propagation delay (max 3.9ns) and load capacitance. With 50pF load, it reliably supports data toggling up to ~250MHz (1/tPLH), assuming proper signal integrity design. The 74ABT2244CMSA is commonly used in static address/data paths rather than synchronous clock domains.
Does the 74ABT2244CMSA require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its enable inputs?
No - OE1 and OE2 are active-low TTL-compatible inputs with VIH = 2.0V and VIL = 0.8V, allowing direct connection to standard logic outputs. Pull-up resistors are unnecessary unless floating states must be avoided in unpowered or undriven configurations. The 74ABT2244CMSA's internal input structure ensures defined logic levels without external biasing under normal operation.
Can the 74ABT2244CMSA drive a 50Ω transmission line directly?
Yes - each output integrates a 25Ω series resistor, which-when combined with typical PCB trace impedance (~50Ω)-forms a near-ideal source termination for point-to-point 50Ω lines. This configuration minimizes reflections without requiring external components. The 74ABT2244CMSA is not intended for unterminated stubs or multidrop buses without additional modeling.
Is the 74ABT2244CMSA RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74ABT2244CMSA is manufactured per JEDEC J-STD-020B for Pb-free packaging. Its SSOP (MSA20) package uses lead-free solderable terminations and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. No exemptions apply, and the device carries full material declaration documentation available upon request for the 74ABT2244CMSA.
How does the 74ABT2244CMSA handle power-up sequencing in mixed-voltage systems?
The 74ABT2244CMSA guarantees glitch-free 3-state behavior during power-up and power-down, maintaining high-impedance outputs regardless of VCC ramp rate or sequence relative to input signals. This prevents bus contention when interfacing with partially powered controllers or FPGAs. The 74ABT2244CMSA achieves this via internal power-on reset circuitry tied to VCC monitoring.
