Product details
Overview
74ACT11244NSR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver designed for memory address and bus driving applications. It features TTL-compatible inputs, 5-V supply operation (4.5–5.5 V), ±24-mA output drive, 1.5–9.9-ns propagation delay, and flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11244NSR datasheet, 74ACT11244NSR pinout, 74ACT11244NSR application, or 74ACT11244NSR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus isolation capability, high-speed switching noise suppression via center-pin VCC/GND, EPIC CMOS process reliability, and compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL logic systems.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11244NSR implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections (1A1–1A4 → 1Y1–1Y4; 2A1–2A4 → 2Y1–2Y4), each controlled by a dedicated 3-state enable input (1OE, 2OE). Its EPIC 1-μm CMOS process delivers latch-up immunity of 500 mA at 125°C and supports −40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
Input thresholds are TTL-voltage compatible (VIL = 0.8 V max, VIH = 2.0 V min), enabling direct interfacing with standard TTL outputs. The flow-through architecture places inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side, minimizing trace crossovers and signal integrity degradation in dense bus routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances and brown-out resilience. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–9.9 ns - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data buses up to ~100 MHz clock domains. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZL/tPHZ = 1.5–12.5 ns - fast output disable/enable supports dynamic bus arbitration and hot-swap readiness. |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF - low loading minimizes fanout-induced timing skew in parallel bus configurations. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 27 pF (enabled), 9 pF (disabled) - quantifies dynamic power consumption per buffer under 1-MHz toggle conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and telecom infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11244NSR is packaged in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.64-mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-150 compliant, and marked "AT244" on top. Dimensions: 8.2 mm × 5.3 mm × 1.95 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 (Pins 1–4, 9–12) | Noninverting buffered outputs | Active-high outputs enabled only when respective OE is low; high-impedance state otherwise for bus sharing. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 (Pins 22–20, 16–13) | Data inputs | TTL-compatible inputs accept 0.8 V / 2.0 V thresholds; no pull-up required for open-collector source interfacing. |
| 1OE, 2OE (Pins 24, 17) | Independent 3-state enables | Active-low control per 4-bit section allows selective bus segment activation without global contention. |
| VCC (Pins 24, 19, 18, 17) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PSRR in high-density layouts. |
| GND (Pins 10, 11, 12, 13) | Ground reference | Four GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and support clean signal integrity for all 8 outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Inputs on left/right edges and outputs on opposite side eliminate layer jumps and reduce crosstalk in 8-bit parallel routing. |
| Center-pin VCC/GND | Dual VCC and dual GND pins placed centrally suppress ground bounce and supply droop during high-frequency switching. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-μm implanted CMOS delivers 500-mA latch-up immunity and stable parametric performance over temperature and voltage. |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts standard TTL output levels directly-no level-shifting circuitry needed when interfacing with legacy 74LS/74F families. |
| 3-State bus isolation | Independent OE controls allow interleaved access to shared data/address buses without contention or bus turnaround delays. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Parallel Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit or wider memory address buses in microprocessor-based systems with multiple RAM/ROM chips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer isolating CPU address lines from capacitive load of multiple memory devices while maintaining setup/hold timing margins.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT244N | Same ACT family, identical 24-pin PDIP package; slightly higher ICC (max 80 μA vs. 1 mA typical), same timing specs. | Preferred where through-hole assembly or legacy DIP footprint is required; lacks SSOP thermal advantages. | Select SN74ACT244N for manual prototyping or repair of existing DIP-based boards. |
| 74LVC244APW | Lower voltage (1.65–3.6 V), smaller TSSOP-20 package; 32-mA drive but incompatible with 5-V TTL inputs without level shift. | Suitable for modern low-voltage mixed-signal systems; not drop-in replaceable due to voltage and pin count mismatch. | Choose 74LVC244APW only in new 3.3-V designs with careful I/O voltage planning. |
Compared with SN74ACT244N and 74LVC244APW, the 74ACT11244NSR uniquely combines 5-V TTL compatibility, SSOP thermal efficiency, and independent dual-OE control-making it optimal for industrial upgrades requiring pin-compatible 5-V bus buffering without redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74ACT11244NSR?
The 74ACT11244NSR operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This specification ensures compatibility with standard 5-V power rails while accommodating typical tolerance variations. The device is not rated for 3.3-V operation, and applying voltages outside this range may cause permanent damage or undefined behavior. All recommended electrical characteristics-including VOH, VOL, and timing-are validated within this window.
Does the 74ACT11244NSR support TTL-level input signals?
Yes, the 74ACT11244NSR features TTL-voltage compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V. This allows direct connection to legacy 74LS, 74F, and other TTL-family outputs without level-shifting circuitry. Input thresholds remain stable across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range, making the 74ACT11244NSR suitable for industrial environments where mixed-logic interfacing is required.
How many independent 3-state control inputs does the 74ACT11244NSR have?
The 74ACT11244NSR has two independent 3-state enable inputs: 1OE (pin 24) controls outputs 1Y1–1Y4, and 2OE (pin 17) controls outputs 2Y1–2Y4. This dual-enable architecture allows segmented bus control-for example, enabling only the lower byte of an address bus while holding the upper byte in high-impedance. Neither enable affects the other section, and both must be low for their respective outputs to drive.
What package type is used for the 74ACT11244NSR?
The 74ACT11244NSR uses a 24-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP) with JEDEC MO-150 compliance and 0.64-mm lead pitch. Its dimensions are 8.2 mm × 5.3 mm × 1.95 mm. This surface-mount package offers superior thermal performance and board density compared to legacy DIP variants, while maintaining mechanical compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume manufacturing.
Is the 74ACT11244NSR pin-compatible with the SN74ACT244N?
No, the 74ACT11244NSR is not pin-compatible with the SN74ACT244N. While both are octal 3-state buffers in the ACT family, the 74ACT11244NSR uses a 24-pin SSOP package with dual OE inputs and distributed VCC/GND pins, whereas the SN74ACT244N uses a 20-pin PDIP package with shared OE and different pin mapping. Direct replacement would require PCB redesign. Always verify pin functions using the official logic diagram before substitution.
