Product details
Overview
74ABT240DB,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal inverting 3-state buffer optimized for high-speed bus interface applications. It features dual output enables (1OE, 2OE), ±64mA/–32mA drive capability, 3.1ns typical propagation delay at 5V/50pF, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It drives TTL/CMOS loads in memory address/data buses and backplane interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT240DB,112 datasheet, 74ABT240DB,112 pinout, 74ABT240DB,112 application, or 74ABT240DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3-state timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 4.8ns), latch-up immunity (>500mA), ESD robustness (2000V HBM), power-up 3-state behavior, and SO-20 (SOT163-1) package compatibility with industrial bus designs.
Technical Context
The 74ABT240DB,112 implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer groups, each controlled by a dedicated output enable (1OE/2OE). Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low dynamic power while sustaining 3.1ns tPLH/tPHL at 5V with 50pF load.
It supports live insertion/extraction and exhibits power-up 3-state behavior-outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above ~2.1V. Input clamp voltage is –1.2V (VIK), and absolute max VCC is +7.0V, enabling safe operation under transient overvoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems and tolerates supply ripple without functional degradation |
| tPLH / tPHL | 3.1ns typical (CL = 50pF, VCC = 5V) - enables reliable operation in >200MHz bus clock domains with margin |
| IOL / IOH | 64mA sink / –32mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 10+ TTL inputs) without signal integrity loss |
| CIN / COUT | 4pF input / 7pF output capacitance - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and reduces switching noise coupling |
| ICCZ | 50µA max (outputs disabled, VCC = 5.5V) - enables ultra-low static power in standby bus arbitration states |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - certified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and telecom infrastructure |
Pinout & Package
74ABT240DB,112 is housed in a 20-pin plastic SSOP Type II package (SOT163-1), 7.2mm × 5.3mm body, 0.65mm pitch, lead-free compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enables - independently control Group 1 (pins 18,16,14,12) and Group 2 (pins 9,7,5,3) outputs |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A0–1A3 | Inverting data inputs for Group 1 - logic inversion applied before output buffering |
| 11,13,15,17 | 2A0–2A3 | Inverting data inputs for Group 2 - electrically isolated group for dual-bus segmentation |
| 18,16,14,12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Inverted outputs for Group 1 - high-drive, 3-state outputs with 64mA sink capability |
| 9,7,5,3 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Inverted outputs for Group 2 - identical drive strength and timing to Group 1, enabling mirrored bus control |
| 10 | GND | Signal ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during simultaneous switching |
| 20 | VCC | +5V supply - requires local 100nF ceramic decoupling within 5mm of pin to suppress AC supply noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain high-impedance until VCC exceeds ~2.1V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing |
| Live Insertion Support | ESD and latch-up protection allow hot-plug into powered backplanes without damage or system reset |
| Dual Independent Enables | 1OE and 2OE permit selective activation of two 4-bit channels - enables time-multiplexed bus sharing |
| Latch-up Immunity | Exceeds 500mA per JEDEC Std 17 - ensures robustness against ground/power transients in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT240DBR | TI version in same SSOP-20 (PW) package; identical AC/DC specs but different thermal resistance (θJA = 110°C/W vs 125°C/W) | Valid for drop-in replacement where board layout uses TI's PW footprint; not pin-compatible with SOT163-1 mechanical outline | Select when sourcing from TI distribution channels or requiring TI-specific qualification documentation |
| 74LVT240DB,118 | NXP LVT variant: lower VCC range (2.7–3.6V), 3.3V-only operation, 2.8ns tPLH, but no 5V tolerance | Only suitable for 3.3V-only systems; incompatible with 5V buses or mixed-voltage backplanes | Choose only if migrating fully to 3.3V logic and requiring lower power consumption |
Compared with 74ABT240DB,112, SN74ABT240DBR offers identical electrical performance in a functionally equivalent package variant but requires mechanical verification, while 74LVT240DB,118 trades 5V compatibility for lower voltage operation and reduced propagation delay-making it unsuitable for legacy 5V bus upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 74ABT240DB,112?
The 74ABT240DB,112 has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5V to 5.5V. Operation outside this range may cause parametric shift or accelerated wear. The 74ABT240DB,112 is not rated for sustained 6V or higher operation despite the 7.0V absolute limit.
Does the 74ABT240DB,112 support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, the 74ABT240DB,112 supports live insertion and extraction per its datasheet specifications. This is enabled by integrated latch-up protection exceeding 500mA and ESD immunity of 2000V HBM. The 74ABT240DB,112 maintains functional integrity when inserted into a powered backplane, provided proper current-limiting and grounding practices are followed.
What is the propagation delay of the 74ABT240DB,112 under typical conditions?
The 74ABT240DB,112 exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 3.1ns when loaded with 50pF at VCC = 5.0V and Tamb = 25°C. Over the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and VCC = 5.0V ±0.5V, the maximum guaranteed delay is 4.3ns, making the 74ABT240DB,112 suitable for sub-200MHz synchronous bus timing budgets.
How does the power-up 3-state feature work on the 74ABT240DB,112?
The 74ABT240DB,112 enters a high-impedance state at power-up until VCC rises above approximately 2.1V, regardless of OE pin states. This prevents bus contention during power sequencing. Once VCC exceeds this threshold, normal 3-state control resumes. The 74ABT240DB,112 implements this via internal voltage-monitoring circuitry tied to the BiCMOS substrate bias network.
Is the 74ABT240DB,112 pin-compatible with other packages in the 74ABT240 family?
No-the 74ABT240DB,112 uses the SOT163-1 SSOP-20 package, which has different mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics than the DIP (SOT146-1), SO (SOT163-1 is *not* same as SO), or TSSOP (SOT360-1) variants. While all share identical pin functions and numbering, PCB footprints are not interchangeable. The 74ABT240DB,112 requires its specific SSOP-20 land pattern.
