Product details
Overview
74ABT240PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is an octal inverting 3-state buffer IC designed for high-speed bus interface applications. It features dual output enables (1OE, 2OE), ±32mA/±64mA drive capability, 3.1ns typical propagation delay at 5V/50pF, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT240PW,118 datasheet, 74ABT240PW,118 pinout, 74ABT240PW,118 application, or 74ABT240PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include bus-driving strength, 3-state timing (tPZH/tPHZ), power-up 3-state behavior, live insertion support, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained board layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ABT240PW,118 implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer groups, each controlled by its own output enable (1OE, 2OE). Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low static current (50µA in 3-state) while sustaining high-speed switching and robust output drive.
It supports live insertion/extraction via power-up 3-state functionality and latch-up protection exceeding 500mA per JEDEC Std 17. Input and output voltage tolerances (–0.5V to +7.0V) allow safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems under transient conditions.
Key Specifications

| 9,7,5,3 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Inverted outputs for Group 2 - electrically separated from Group 1 for noise containment |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - shared return for all I/O and supply currents |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal BiCMOS circuitry and output stages |
Key Features

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 | Same logic function, SOIC-20 package (SOT163-1); 3.5ns max tPLH vs. 4.3ns for 74ABT240PW,118 | Requires PCB layout change due to wider SOIC body (7.5mm vs. 6.5mm); no thermal pad | Select when board space allows larger footprint and SOIC reflow compatibility is preferred |
| 74LVT240PW,118 | Lower voltage operation (2.7–3.6V), 3.2ns tPLH, 32mA drive - not 5V-compatible | Not suitable for 5V bus systems; requires level translation if interfacing with ABT-family logic | Choose only for 3.3V-only designs where power efficiency outweighs 5V interoperability |
Compared with SN74ABT240DBR and 74LVT240PW,118, the 74ABT240PW,118 uniquely balances 5V bus drive strength, TSSOP space efficiency, and industrial temperature resilience - making it optimal for new 5V embedded designs where density and ruggedness are prioritized over legacy package compatibility or ultra-low voltage operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for 74ABT240PW,118?
The 74ABT240PW,118 supports up to +64mA output sink current and –32mA output source current per pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V). This drive strength is specified at VO = 0.55V for sinking and VO = 2.0V for sourcing, enabling direct interface with multiple TTL loads or moderate-capacitance transmission lines without external buffers.
Does 74ABT240PW,118 support live insertion into a powered backplane?
Yes, the 74ABT240PW,118 supports live insertion/extraction due to its power-up 3-state feature and robust ESD/latch-up protection. During power ramp-up, outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above ~2.1V, preventing bus contention. This behavior is verified per Philips/NXP datasheet Section "Power-up 3-State" and JEDEC Std 17 latch-up testing.
What is the propagation delay of 74ABT240PW,118 at 5V supply?
The 74ABT240PW,118 exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 3.1ns at VCC = 5.0V and CL = 50pF, with a maximum of 4.3ns over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. These values are measured from input (nAx) to corresponding output (nYx) under defined AC test conditions and directly impact maximum achievable bus clock frequency.
Is 74ABT240PW,118 pin-compatible with other 74ABT240 variants?
Yes, the 74ABT240PW,118 shares identical pin configuration and logic function with all 74ABT240 variants (e.g., 74ABT240D, 74ABT240DB), including the same 20-pin TSSOP pinout, dual OE placement, and I/O assignment. Differences are limited to package type and marking - no electrical or functional variation exists between these orderable versions of the same base device.
What are the absolute maximum voltage ratings for 74ABT240PW,118 inputs and outputs?
The 74ABT240PW,118 has absolute maximum input voltage (VI) of –1.2V to +7.0V and output voltage (VOUT) of –0.5V to +5.5V when in Off or High state. These ratings permit safe operation during power sequencing, hot-swap events, or transient coupling - provided input/output current limits (e.g., IIK ≤ –18mA, IOK ≤ –50mA) are not exceeded, as specified in the Philips/NXP datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
