Product details
Overview
74ABT240N,602 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal inverting 3-state buffer IC designed for high-speed bus interface applications. It provides dual independent output-enable controls (1OE, 2OE), ±32mA/±64mA drive capability, 3.1ns typical propagation delay at 5V/50pF, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It is used in address/data bus buffering and level translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT240N,602 datasheet, 74ABT240N,602 pinout, 74ABT240N,602 application, or 74ABT240N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3-state timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 6.4ns), latch-up immunity (>500mA), ESD robustness (2000V HBM), and compatibility with 5V TTL logic families in legacy embedded systems.
Technical Context
The 74ABT240N,602 implements a BiCMOS architecture delivering low static current (ICCZ = 50µA in 3-state) while sustaining high-speed switching. Its dual OE structure allows independent control of two 4-bit inverting output groups (1Y0–1Y3 and 2Y0–2Y3), enabling selective bus partitioning without signal contention.
It supports live insertion/extraction and power-up 3-state behavior, ensuring outputs remain high-impedance during supply ramp-up. Input thresholds (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V) and output drive (IOL = 64mA, IOH = –32mA) are fully specified over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range at VCC = 4.5–5.5V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT240N | Identical pinout, function, and AC/DC specs; TI's second-source version with same 20-DIP package | No functional deviation - drop-in replacement in existing designs | Select when sourcing diversification or TI-aligned BOMs is required |
| 74ACT240PC | Higher VOH (≥4.4V @ 50µA) but lower IOL (24mA); CMOS-only process, no BiCMOS drive | Not suitable for driving heavy TTL loads or long traces requiring >32mA sink | Choose only for low-power, light-load applications where speed (tPD ≈ 4ns) suffices |
Compared with SN74ABT240N and 74ACT240PC, the 74ABT240N,602 uniquely balances high sink current (64mA), industrial temp range, and live-insertion capability - making it optimal for ruggedized bus interfaces where drive strength and reliability outweigh ultra-low power needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for the 74ABT240N,602?
The 74ABT240N,602 is rated for a maximum low-level output current (IOL) of 64mA per output pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5V, Tamb = –40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and reflects sustained drive capability into heavy capacitive or resistive loads without violating VOL limits.
Does the 74ABT240N,602 support hot-plug operation?
Yes, the 74ABT240N,602 explicitly supports live insertion and extraction as stated in its Features section. This capability is enabled by its BiCMOS design and internal protection structures, allowing safe connection/disconnection while powered - critical for modular industrial backplane systems using the 74ABT240N,602.
What is the propagation delay of the 74ABT240N,602 at 5V supply?
The 74ABT240N,602 has a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 3.1ns when loaded with 50pF at VCC = 5V and Tamb = 25°C, as specified in the Quick Reference Data table. The maximum delay across temperature and voltage is 4.8ns, supporting reliable operation in sub-5ns timing-critical bus paths.
Is the 74ABT240N,602 pin-compatible with other 74-series octal buffers?
The 74ABT240N,602 shares the same 20-pin DIP pinout and logic function as industry-standard 74ABT240 variants (e.g., SN74ABT240N), including identical pin numbering, signal assignments, and dual-OE configuration. However, it is not pin-compatible with non-ABT families like 74LS240 or 74HC240 due to differing electrical characteristics and timing behavior.
What package type does the 74ABT240N,602 use?
The 74ABT240N,602 uses a 20-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 2.54mm lead pitch, designated as package SOT146-1 in Philips/NXP documentation. This through-hole package supports manual soldering, socket-based prototyping, and legacy industrial PCB assembly processes.
