Product details
Overview
74ACT11244DBR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver in a 24-pin SSOP package, designed for memory address driving and bus interfacing. It operates from −40°C to 85°C with 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports TTL-compatible inputs, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11244DBR datasheet, 74ACT11244DBR pinout, 74ACT11244DBR application, or 74ACT11244DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus-driving capability, low propagation delay (≤9.9 ns), high noise immunity (500-mA latch-up rating), and compatibility with legacy 74ACT logic families in space-constrained SSOP layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11244DBR implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated 3-state enable (1OE, 2OE) controlling four outputs (1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4). Its EPIC CMOS process ensures TTL-level input compatibility while delivering ACT-series speed and drive strength.
Center-placed VCC and GND pins minimize switching noise; the flow-through architecture aligns inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite, reducing trace crossovers. Absolute maximum ratings include −0.5 V to 6 V supply and ±50 mA output current, supporting robust operation in industrial bus environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5-V logic rails with margin for ripple and drop. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.9 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - Enables reliable timing in high-speed address/data buses up to ~100 MHz. |
| 3-State Enable Delay | ≤12.5 ns (tPZH/tPZL) - Guarantees clean bus release and acquisition during multiplexed access cycles. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Interoperates directly with legacy 74LS and microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA at 125°C - Meets stringent industrial reliability requirements under transient overcurrent stress. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11244DBR uses a 24-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP, DB), 0.65 mm pitch, 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-150 compliant. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant in tape).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 9–12 | Outputs (1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4) | Noninverting buffered outputs with 3-state control; drive bus lines or memory address latches. |
| 13, 17 | Output Enables (1OE, 2OE) | Active-low enables per 4-bit section; allows independent bus segment control without contention. |
| 14–16, 20–23 | Inputs (2A1–2A4, 1A1–1A4) | TTL-compatible data inputs; flow-through arrangement simplifies layer routing and reduces stub length. |
| 5–8, 18–19, 24 | GND / VCC | Four GND pins (5,6,7,8), two VCC pins (18,19), and one VCC (24) - distributed power/ground lowers simultaneous switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input-to-output alignment minimizes PCB trace length and crosstalk in dense address/data routing. |
| Center-placed VCC/GND | Dual VCC (pins 18,19,24) and quad GND (pins 5–8) reduce ground bounce and supply impedance. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-μm technology delivers ACT-speed performance with lower power than bipolar equivalents. |
| 500-mA latch-up immunity | Robust against ESD-induced latch-up in industrial environments without requiring external protection. |
| TTL-input compatibility | Direct interface with 74LS, microcontrollers, and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT11240DBR | Inverting outputs (vs. noninverting in 74ACT11244DBR); identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Required where signal polarity inversion is needed in address/data path (e.g., complemented bus addressing). | Select 74ACT11240DBR only when functional inversion is explicitly required; otherwise 74ACT11244DBR is preferred for direct buffering. |
| SN74ACT541DBR | Single 8-bit section (vs. dual 4-bit); same 24-pin SSOP package, but OE shared across all 8 outputs. | Suitable for simpler unidirectional bus drivers where per-section enable control is unnecessary. | Choose SN74ACT541DBR for cost-sensitive single-enable applications; 74ACT11244DBR offers finer-grained bus segmentation. |
Compared with 74ACT11240DBR and SN74ACT541DBR, the 74ACT11244DBR uniquely provides dual independent 4-bit sections with separate enables-enabling selective activation of address sub-buses or split data lanes without added logic or layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74ACT11244DBR?
The 74ACT11244DBR operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This range ensures compatibility with standard 5-V logic systems while providing sufficient margin for supply ripple and droop. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior or damage, as absolute maximum ratings cap VCC at 6 V.
Does the 74ACT11244DBR support TTL-level input signals?
Yes, the 74ACT11244DBR features TTL-voltage compatible inputs, with VIH specified at 2 V minimum and VIL at 0.8 V maximum. This allows direct connection to legacy 74LS devices, microcontroller GPIOs, and other TTL-family sources without level-shifting circuitry-maintaining signal integrity and reducing BOM count.
How many independent 3-state sections does the 74ACT11244DBR contain?
The 74ACT11244DBR contains two independent 4-bit 3-state sections: Section 1 (inputs 1A1–1A4, outputs 1Y1–1Y4, enable 1OE) and Section 2 (inputs 2A1–2A4, outputs 2Y1–2Y4, enable 2OE). This architecture enables selective bus segmentation and avoids contention in multi-peripheral systems.
What is the maximum propagation delay of the 74ACT11244DBR at 5 V?
At VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, the 74ACT11244DBR exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 9.9 ns. Over the full −40°C to 85°C range, delay remains within guaranteed limits per the recommended operating conditions, supporting reliable timing in 20-MHz+ address/data paths.
Is the 74ACT11244DBR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No-the 74ACT11244DBR is specific to the 24-pin SSOP (DB) package. While the 74ACT11244DW (SOIC) and 74ACT11244PWR (TSSOP) share identical logic and pin functions, their footprints differ significantly. Mechanical dimensions, pitch (0.65 mm for DB vs. 1.27 mm for DW), and thermal characteristics are not interchangeable without PCB redesign.
