Product details
Overview
74ABT241DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP20 package, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing with ±64mA/–32mA output drive, propagation delay of 4.6ns max at VCC = 5.0V ±0.5V, and operation over –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a high-drive bus interface in industrial control backplanes and memory address/data latching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT241DB,112 datasheet, 74ABT241DB,112 pinout, 74ABT241DB,112 application, or 74ABT241DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent output enables (1OE/2OE), power-up 3-state behavior, latch-up immunity >500mA, and compatibility with 5V TTL logic systems requiring robust bus loading capability.
Technical Context
The 74ABT241DB,112 implements two independent 4-bit 3-state buffers, each controlled by its own enable input (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for outputs 2Y0–2Y3). Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low static current (ICCZ = 50µA max) while sustaining high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6ns) under 50pF load.
All inputs are disabled during 3-state mode, eliminating bus contention risk. Output disable time (tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 7.1ns) and enable time (tPZH/tPZL ≤ 6.8ns) ensure precise timing control in synchronous bus arbitration and hot-swap-capable subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL and CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.6ns (An→Yn, VCC=5.0V±0.5V, CL=50pF) - Supports >200MHz bus clocking in high-speed digital backplanes. |
| Output Drive | +64mA sink / –32mA source - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 10+ TTL inputs or long PCB traces) without signal degradation. |
| Input Capacitance | 3pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity in fan-out-critical paths. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±50µA (IOZL/IOZH, VCC=5.5V) - Prevents false logic states and crosstalk when outputs are disabled on shared buses. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded controllers and factory automation equipment. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT241DB,112 is housed in a 20-lead plastic thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP20, SOT360-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enables - Independently activate first four (1Y0–1Y3) or second four (2Y0–2Y3) outputs; both must be low for full 8-bit drive. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Data inputs for first buffer group - Connect to upstream data sources (e.g., microcontroller port pins). |
| 17, 15, 13, 11 | 2A0–2A3 | Data inputs for second buffer group - Support dual-bus topology or mirrored signal routing. |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | 3-state outputs for first group - High-impedance state prevents contention when 1OE = high. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs for second group - Enables independent control of two 4-bit data lanes on same physical bus. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into sensitive enable paths. |
| 20 | VCC | +5V supply - Requires local 100nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin 20 to suppress switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-up 3-State | Outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - Eliminates bus glitches during power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Latch-up Immunity | Exceeds 500mA per JEDEC Std 17 - Withstands transient ground bounce or ESD-induced parasitic thyristor conduction. |
| ESD Protection | 2000V HBM / 200V MM - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level robustness in industrial environments. |
| Low Input Leakage | ±1.0µA max (VI = GND or VCC) - Preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interface or analog multiplexer control lines. |
| Independent Enable Control | Two OE pins allow staggered bus activation - Enables time-multiplexed access to shared memory or peripheral address/data buses. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Memory Address Latching |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT241DBR | TI version in same TSSOP20 package; identical AC/DC specs but different ICCZ (75µA typ vs 50µA typ for 74ABT241DB,112) | Same industrial bus driving use cases; minor quiescent current difference affects ultra-low-power standby modes | Select 74ABT241DB,112 when minimizing supply current in always-on monitoring subsystems is critical |
| 74LVT241PW,118 | Nexperia's 3.3V-only LVT variant (VCC = 2.7–3.6V); lower drive (±32mA), faster tPLH (3.2ns typ), incompatible voltage domain | Requires level-shifting for 5V systems; suited for mixed-voltage designs with 3.3V FPGAs or ASICs | Choose 74ABT241DB,112 for native 5V TTL compatibility; select 74LVT241PW,118 only when system operates exclusively at 3.3V |
Compared with SN74ABT241DBR and 74LVT241PW,118, the 74ABT241DB,112 offers the lowest ICCZ in its 5V family and maintains full backward compatibility with legacy 74-series bus architectures without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ABT241DB,112?
The 74ABT241DB,112 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is validated per the recommended operating conditions table in the official Nexperia datasheet, with junction temperature limited to 150°C under worst-case power dissipation.
Does the 74ABT241DB,112 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The 74ABT241DB,112 supports controlled hot insertion due to its power-up 3-state feature and high latch-up immunity (>500mA per JEDEC Std 17). However, it does not include dedicated hot-swap circuitry; external current-limiting resistors and sequencing controls are required for safe live bus connection.
Can the 74ABT241DB,112 drive 50Ω transmission lines directly?
No - the 74ABT241DB,112 is not designed for direct 50Ω line driving. Its output structure targets 50pF capacitive loads typical of PCB traces and TTL inputs. For 50Ω impedance matching, external series termination (e.g., 33Ω resistor) is required to prevent reflections on high-speed lines.
What is the function of the two separate output enables (1OE and 2OE) on the 74ABT241DB,112?
The 74ABT241DB,112 uses 1OE to control outputs 1Y0–1Y3 and 2OE to control outputs 2Y0–2Y3, enabling independent activation of two 4-bit data groups. This allows time-multiplexed bus access, partial bus isolation, or dual-channel signal routing without requiring two separate ICs.
Is the 74ABT241DB,112 pin-compatible with older 74-series octal buffers like the 74LS241?
No - while functionally similar, the 74ABT241DB,112 has a different pinout than 74LS241. Specifically, 74ABT241DB,112 places 1A0–1A3 on pins 2,4,6,8 and 2A0–2A3 on pins 17,15,13,11, whereas 74LS241 uses alternate assignments. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
