Product details
Overview
74ABT2244DB,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal 3-State buffer/line driver with integrated 30Ω series output termination resistors, designed for high-speed bus driving in memory address, clock, and data bus applications. It features dual independent output enables (1OE, 2OE), ±32mA sink/source drive capability, and operates across –40°C to +85°C at 4.5–5.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT2244DB,118 datasheet, 74ABT2244DB,118 pinout, 74ABT2244DB,118 application, or 74ABT2244DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its on-die 30Ω series termination eliminating external resistors, live insertion/extraction support, and BiCMOS low-noise, high-speed performance in TSSOP20 packaging.
Technical Context
The 74ABT2244DB,118 implements a dual-gated octal buffer architecture with two independent 3-State control inputs (1OE, 2OE), each enabling four outputs. Its BiCMOS process delivers propagation delays as low as 2.8 ns (tPLH) and 3.9 ns (tPHL) at 5V with 50pF load.
All eight outputs integrate matched 30Ω series resistors in both high and low states-reducing transmission-line reflections without requiring PCB-level termination. Inputs are fully disabled during 3-State mode, and power-up 3-State behavior prevents bus contention at power-on.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems and noise margin compliance. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.8 ns (tPLH), 3.9 ns (tPHL) - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data buses up to ~200 MHz. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA (IOH), +12 mA (IOL) - Supports direct connection to multiple TTL loads or stub-loaded transmission lines. |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity. |
| Termination Resistance | 30 Ω series per output - Eliminates need for discrete 33Ω–39Ω surface-mount resistors on PCB traces. |

| Live insertion/extraction support | Enables hot-swap capability in backplane or modular systems where boards may be inserted/removed under power. |
| Power-up 3-State | Guarantees all outputs remain in high-impedance state until VCC stabilizes, preventing bus conflicts during power sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-State buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT244N | Same functional logic and 30Ω termination, but in 20-pin PDIP (SOT146-1); no thermal performance equivalence to TSSOP. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs. | Select SN74ABT244N only when DIP footprint and manual assembly are required; 74ABT2244DB,118 offers superior thermal dissipation and density. |
| 74LVT244PW | 3.3V-only operation (2.7–3.6V), lower drive (–32/+64 mA), no integrated termination; requires external 33Ω resistors. | Targeted at low-voltage mixed-signal systems; incompatible with 5V bus domains without level translation. | Choose 74LVT244PW only for 3.3V-native designs with strict power budgets; 74ABT2244DB,118 remains optimal for 5V industrial buses with termination integration. |
Compared with SN74ABT244N and 74LVT244PW, the 74ABT2244DB,118 uniquely combines 5V operation, integrated 30Ω termination, TSSOP packaging, and industrial temperature range-making it the only option that eliminates both external resistors and PCB real estate for termination in high-reliability 5V bus systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the 30Ω series resistors in the 74ABT2244DB,118?
The 30Ω series resistors are integrated into each of the eight outputs of the 74ABT2244DB,118 and are active in both high and low output states. They provide source termination for controlled-impedance transmission lines, reducing signal reflections and overshoot without requiring external resistors. This feature directly supports clean signal integrity in memory address, clock, and data bus applications up to 200 MHz.
Does the 74ABT2244DB,118 support live insertion or hot-swap operation?
Yes, the 74ABT2244DB,118 explicitly supports live insertion and extraction as stated in its official Philips product specification. Its BiCMOS architecture, combined with input disable during 3-State mode and robust ESD/latch-up protection, ensures safe operation when plugged into or removed from a powered backplane or modular system-critical for industrial PLC and telecom shelf applications.
What is the difference between 74ABT2244DB,118 and 74ABT244-1?
The 74ABT2244DB,118 is functionally identical to the 74ABT244-1, as confirmed in the Philips datasheet: "The 74ABT2244 is the same as the 74ABT244-1. The part number has been changed to reflect industry standards." Both share identical pinout, electrical specs, and internal architecture-the '2244' designation aligns with JEDEC-compliant naming conventions for octal buffers with dual enables.
Can the 74ABT2244DB,118 operate at 3.3V supply voltage?
No, the 74ABT2244DB,118 is specified only for 4.5V to 5.5V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. Attempting to power it at 3.3V will result in undefined logic behavior, insufficient output drive, and potential failure to meet AC timing specifications. For 3.3V systems, consider the 74LVT244 or 74ALVC244 families instead.
How does the power-up 3-State behavior of the 74ABT2244DB,118 prevent bus contention?
The 74ABT2244DB,118 guarantees all eight outputs remain in high-impedance (Z) state during power-up until VCC reaches a valid operating threshold. This eliminates risk of short-circuit current or data corruption when multiple devices share a common bus, especially in systems with asynchronous power sequencing. The feature is intrinsic to its BiCMOS design and requires no external reset circuitry.
