Product details
Overview
74ABT2244CMTCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with integrated 25Ω series output resistors, designed for driving capacitive bus loads in memory, address, and clock distribution systems. It operates at 4.5V–5.5V, delivers 32mA HIGH-drive and 15mA LOW-drive, and features true 3-state outputs controlled by dual active-low enables (OE1/OE2). It supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is qualified for hot-insertion.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT2244CMTCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output series resistance value, propagation delay (≤3.9 ns), 3-state enable/disable timing, latchup immunity, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ABT2244CMTCX implements two independent 4-bit buffer sections (I0–I3/O0–O3 and I4–I7/O4–O7), each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (OE1, OE2). Its ABT logic family delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V) and rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Each output integrates a 25Ω series resistor to dampen transmission-line ringing without external components, reducing board-level EMI and simplifying layout for high-speed bus interfaces. The device maintains high-impedance, glitch-free bus loading across full power-up/down cycles and supports nondestructive hot insertion per JEDEC JESD78.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.5V to +5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems and noise margin robustness. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 3.9 ns @ CL = 50pF - Enables reliable operation in sub-5ns timing-critical address/data buses. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | –32mA / +15mA - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or moderate-capacitance transmission lines directly. |
| Integrated Series Resistor | 25Ω per output - Eliminates need for discrete series termination resistors on PCB traces. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH ≤ 6.0 ns, tPHZ ≤ 5.8 ns - Supports fast bus arbitration and dynamic bus sharing in multiprocessor systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT2244CMTCX is packaged in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 4.4mm wide, with 0.65mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pinout follows standard 20-pin TSSOP configuration with dual 4-bit sections.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OE1, OE2 | Active-low output enable inputs - Independently disable top/bottom 4-bit sections to isolate bus segments. |
| 2–5, 13–16 | I0–I3, I4–I7 | Data inputs - Accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V ensures noise-immune switching. |
| 6–9, 17–20 | O0–O3, O4–O7 | Outputs with 25Ω series resistance - Provide controlled edge rates and reduce overshoot/ringing on PCB traces. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Required for stable logic thresholds and low-impedance return path for output currents. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - Must be decoupled locally (0.1µF ceramic) to suppress switching noise coupling into logic core. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25Ω output series resistors | Eliminates external termination components, reduces BOM count, and improves signal integrity on FR4 traces up to 10 cm. |
| Guaranteed latchup protection | Withstands ±300mA latchup current across operating range - prevents destructive failure during transient overvoltage events. |
| Glitch-free 3-state during power sequencing | Maintains high-impedance state throughout entire VCC ramp-up/down - avoids bus contention in hot-swap or partial-power-down systems. |
| Nondestructive hot-insertion capability | Validated per JEDEC JESD78 - allows safe insertion/removal while backplane or motherboard remains powered. |
Applications

Use Value: Guaranteed nondestructive hot insertion allows module replacement without powering down entire rack - critical for 24/7 industrial uptime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244DBR | TI SOIC-20 package (M20B); no integrated 25Ω resistors - requires external series termination. | Lacks built-in damping; suitable only when board-level termination is already implemented or preferred. | Select if legacy SOIC footprint reuse is required and external resistor placement is acceptable. |
| 74LVT2244PW,118 | Nexperia TSSOP-20; LVT family - lower VCC range (2.7–3.6V), higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.8 ns), no integrated resistors. | Designed for 3.3V systems; incompatible with 5V buses unless level-shifted; no inherent ringing suppression. | Choose for 3.3V-only designs needing faster propagation but accepting added termination complexity. |
Compared with SN74ABT2244DBR and 74LVT2244PW,118, the 74ABT2244CMTCX uniquely combines 5V operation, TSSOP-20 compactness, and factory-integrated 25Ω termination - reducing design iteration time and improving first-pass signal integrity on dense 5V backplanes.

FAQ
What is the function of the 25Ω series resistors in the 74ABT2244CMTCX outputs?
The 25Ω series resistors in each output of the 74ABT2244CMTCX provide controlled impedance matching to typical PCB trace impedances (≈50–75Ω), reducing signal reflections, overshoot, and EMI. This eliminates the need for eight discrete surface-mount resistors in bus-driving applications, simplifying layout and improving first-pass signal integrity without external components.
Does the 74ABT2244CMTCX support hot-plug insertion?
Yes, the 74ABT2244CMTCX supports nondestructive hot-insertion per JEDEC JESD78. Its input and output structures are designed to withstand voltage transients during live insertion, and its guaranteed latchup protection (±300mA) prevents damage when powered into a live backplane - making it suitable for modular industrial systems requiring field-replaceable cards.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the 74ABT2244CMTCX?
The 74ABT2244CMTCX provides –32mA output sink current (IOL) at VOL ≤ 0.8V and +15mA output source current (IOH) at VOH ≥ 2.0V under VCC = 5.0V. This drive strength supports fanout to multiple CMOS loads or direct driving of moderate-capacitance traces up to ~20pF per output, consistent with its role as a bus-oriented line driver.
How does the dual output enable (OE1/OE2) architecture benefit system design with the 74ABT2244CMTCX?
The dual active-low enables (OE1 for O0–O3, OE2 for O4–O7) in the 74ABT2244CMTCX allow independent control of two 4-bit bus segments. This enables selective isolation - for example, disabling one half of the bus during DMA transfers while keeping the other active - reducing contention, lowering dynamic power, and supporting flexible memory-mapped peripheral partitioning in embedded systems.
Is the 74ABT2244CMTCX compatible with 3.3V logic inputs?
No, the 74ABT2244CMTCX is a 5V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and requires VCC = 4.5–5.5V. While 3.3V logic HIGH may register as valid (≥2.0V), it violates recommended operating conditions and risks marginal noise immunity. For mixed-voltage systems, level translation or a 3.3V-compatible alternative like 74LVT2244 should be used instead of relying on the 74ABT2244CMTCX.
