Product details
Overview
74ACT11240DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address, clock, and bus-oriented applications. It operates from −40°C to 85°C at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11240DWR datasheet, 74ACT11240DWR pinout, 74ACT11240DWR application, or 74ACT11240DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.6 ns), latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), EPIC CMOS process, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11240DWR implements dual 4-bit inverting buffers with independent active-low output-enable (OE) controls per group - 1OE enables Y1–Y4, 2OE enables Y5–Y8. Each buffer provides symmetrical drive strength and high noise immunity via center-pin VCC/GND configuration.
It uses Texas Instruments' EPIC 1-μm CMOS process, enabling TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) while maintaining CMOS-level power efficiency (ICC ≤ 80 μA static, 0.9–1 mA dynamic). Absolute max ratings include VCC up to 6 V and output clamp current of ±50 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5-V logic rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.6 ns @ VCC = 5 V - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/clock distribution up to ~50 MHz. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable | tPZH/tPZL ≤ 12.5 ns - Fast bus turnaround time critical for bidirectional data bus arbitration. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Direct interface with legacy 74LS/TTL logic without level shifters. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical @ 125°C - Robustness against transient current surges in industrial environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.7 W (DW package, TA = 55°C) - Supports continuous operation in compact SOIC-24 layouts with adequate airflow. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11240DWR is housed in a 24-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package (DW), with 300-mil body width, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch; VCC (pins 14, 15, 16, 17) and GND (pins 1, 2, 3, 4) are distributed centrally to minimize switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Buffer Inputs | Eight TTL-compatible digital inputs grouped into two 4-bit banks; inverted at outputs. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-State Inverting Outputs | Eight buffered, inverted outputs; high-impedance when respective OE is high. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Independent control of each 4-bit output group; low enables, high disables (3-state). |
| VCC (pins 14–17) | Supply Voltage | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve high-frequency decoupling. |
| GND (pins 1–4) | Ground Reference | Four GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for EMI suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input-to-output signal path runs left-to-right across package, minimizing trace crossovers and layer count on dense PCBs. |
| Center-pin VCC/GND | Dual VCC and quad GND pins placed centrally suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in high-speed bus drivers. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-μm implanted CMOS ensures consistent parametric performance across −40°C to 85°C with low leakage and high reliability. |
| 500-mA latch-up immunity | Exceeds JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements, enabling use in noisy industrial power domains without protection circuitry. |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts standard TTL logic levels directly-no external biasing or level translation needed for mixed-logic-system interfacing. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Clock Distribution Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving multiplexed address lines to SRAM or ROM in microcontroller-based embedded systems with limited drive capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer providing fan-out expansion and bus isolation during memory access cycles. Use Value: Enables clean address settling with tPLH ≤ 10.6 ns and eliminates contention via fast OE-controlled 3-state disable (tPZL ≤ 12.3 ns). |
Use Scenario: Distributing a single system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., ADC, DAC, UART) while maintaining edge integrity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, inverting line driver with matched propagation delays across all eight outputs. Use Value: Symmetrical tPLH/tPHL (≤ 10.6 ns) and low output capacitance (Co = 10 pF) preserve rise/fall times and minimize jitter accumulation. |
| Bus Transceiver Interface | Industrial I/O Expansion |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data bus isolation between MCU and peripheral modules (e.g., display controller, sensor hub) using shared data lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-group 3-state driver enabling direction-controlled bus access with independent OE control per group. Use Value: Independent 1OE/2OE pins allow staggered enable timing to prevent bus contention; ±24 mA drive sustains signal integrity over 10-cm traces. |
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or motor control units requiring robust 5-V logic interfacing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Industrial-grade buffer translating MCU GPIO signals to noise-immune bus drivers with latch-up resilience. Use Value: 500-mA latch-up immunity and −40°C to 85°C rating ensure uninterrupted operation in factory-floor thermal and EMI environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT240DW | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but includes both inverting and non-inverting outputs per group (dual-function). | Required where mixed polarity buffering is needed; not drop-in if only inverting function is used and board space is constrained. | Select 74ACT240DW only when non-inverting outputs are actively utilized; otherwise 74ACT11240DWR offers simpler logic mapping. |
| SN74ACT11240DWR | Identical device - SN74ACT11240DWR is the full TI part number prefix; 74ACT11240DWR is the common shorthand used in schematics and BOMs. | No functional or application difference; same package, specs, and qualification. | SN74ACT11240DWR and 74ACT11240DWR refer to the exact same component; use either based on BOM convention. |
Compared with 74ACT11240DWR, the 74ACT240DW adds design flexibility at the cost of increased logic complexity, while SN74ACT11240DWR is a naming variant-not a distinct part-with identical performance, footprint, and qualification.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74ACT11240DWR?
74ACT11240DWR is characterized for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range is verified per TI's SCAS210A datasheet and applies to all guaranteed electrical specifications including propagation delay, output drive, and 3-state timing. The device maintains full functionality across this range without derating.
Does the 74ACT11240DWR support TTL-level inputs?
Yes, the 74ACT11240DWR features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH = 2.0 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max) at VCC = 5 V. This allows direct connection to 74LS, 74F, and other legacy TTL families without level-shifting circuitry, simplifying mixed-logic designs.
What is the maximum output current specification for the 74ACT11240DWR?
The 74ACT11240DWR specifies ±24 mA DC output current per pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). This is measured at VOL ≤ 0.44 V and VOH ≥ 3.8 V, ensuring robust drive into standard 50-Ω loads or multiple TTL inputs.
Is the 74ACT11240DWR pin-compatible with other 74ACT-series octal buffers?
74ACT11240DWR shares the same SOIC-24 pinout with 74ACT240DW and 74ACT541DW, but differs in logic function: it provides only inverting outputs with dual OE controls, whereas others offer non-inverting or mixed outputs. Pin compatibility does not imply functional interchangeability without logic redesign.
What package type and lead finish does the 74ACT11240DWR use?
74ACT11240DWR is supplied in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, RoHS-compliant, and MSL Level-1 rated for unlimited reflow at 260°C peak. The DW package measures 15.4 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.35 mm and is supplied in tubes of 25 units.
