Product details
Overview
74ABT244DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in SO20 (SOT163-1) package, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing with two independent 4-bit sections. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA output drive, supports partial power-down via IOFF, and functions across –40 °C to +85 °C for industrial backplane and memory address buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT244DB,112 datasheet, 74ABT244DB,112 pinout, 74ABT244DB,112 application, or 74ABT244DB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual 3-state enable control (1OE/2OE), BiCMOS speed (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns), IOFF leakage < ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V, and compatibility with TTL input levels.
Technical Context
The 74ABT244DB,112 implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0–Y3 of second section). Its BiCMOS architecture enables high-speed propagation (typ. 2.6–2.9 ns) while sustaining robust output drive (+64 mA sink / –32 mA source).
IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, limiting backflow current to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V and inputs/outputs ≤ 4.5 V. The device meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>500 mA) and ESD ratings per JS-001 (HBM >2000 V) and JS-002 (CDM >1000 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS rails and tolerates ±10 % supply variation. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 50 pF buses) without signal degradation or timing skew. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns @ VCC = 5.0 V - Enables reliable 200+ MHz bus operation in high-speed digital systems. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA max @ VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging backfeed current during hot-swap or partial system power-down. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial environments including motor control enclosures and telecom line cards. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level compatible (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - Interfaces directly with legacy 74LS/74F logic without level-shifting. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Survives handling and board assembly without external protection components. |
Pinout & Package
74ABT244DB,112 uses the SO20 plastic small outline package (SOT163-1), 7.5 mm body width, 20-pin gull-wing lead form, JEDEC MS-013 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enables - Independently disable Group 1 (pins 12,14,16,18) or Group 2 (pins 3,5,7,9) outputs. |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A0–1A3 | Group 1 data inputs - Connect to upstream source (e.g., microcontroller port) for first 4-bit channel. |
| 12,14,16,18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Group 1 buffered outputs - Drive downstream 50 Ω transmission lines or parallel bus segments. |
| 11,13,15,17 | 2A0–2A3 | Group 2 data inputs - Accept second 4-bit data stream (e.g., peripheral address lines). |
| 3,5,7,9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Group 2 buffered outputs - Provide isolated, high-drive output path decoupled from Group 1. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during switching. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - Requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 3-state control | Separate 1OE/2OE pins allow selective isolation of two 4-bit data paths-critical for multiplexed address/data buses. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs enter high-Z state with < ±100 μA leakage when VCC = 0 V-enables live insertion and hot-swap capability. |
| BiCMOS output stage | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power-achieves 4.6 ns max propagation with < 250 μA ICC per enabled section. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensure direct interface with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD78 Class II-prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ESD stress. |

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 | Dual in-line package (PDIP-20); no IOFF circuitry; higher ICC (max 250 μA vs. 50 μA) | Suitable only for fixed-power systems without hot-swap or partial power-down requirements | Select when legacy through-hole assembly is required and power sequencing is fully controlled. |
| 74LVC244APW | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA); no IOFF; TSSOP20 package | Designed for low-voltage mixed-signal systems-not interoperable with 5 V TTL buses | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs where voltage translation is already handled upstream. |
Compared with SN74ABT244N and 74LVC244APW, the 74ABT244DB,112 uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, dual OE control, and IOFF-enabled hot-swap support in a surface-mount SO20 package-making it the sole option for industrial upgrades requiring backward compatibility and safe field maintenance.

FAQ
Does 74ABT244DB,112 support hot-swap insertion?
Yes. Its IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs and limits backflow current to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe live insertion into powered backplanes or modular systems without disrupting upstream logic or damaging connected devices.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74ABT244DB,112 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns at VCC = 5.0 V. Driving >50 pF may increase propagation delay and cause ringing; for >100 pF, series termination or reduced slew rate design is recommended.
Can both output enable pins (1OE and 2OE) be tied together?
Yes-1OE and 2OE may be paralleled to operate the device as a single 8-bit buffer. However, doing so eliminates independent group control, forfeiting the ability to isolate one 4-bit segment while driving the other, which is critical in multiplexed bus architectures.
Is 74ABT244DB,112 pin-compatible with older 74LS244 variants?
No. While functionally similar, the 74ABT244DB,112 uses different pin assignments: 1OE is on pin 1 (not pin 19), and 2OE is on pin 19 (not pin 1). Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision or adapter routing to match SOT163-1 pinout.
