Product details
Overview
SN64BCT757N from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/driver with open-collector outputs, designed for memory address bus driving and clock distribution in 3-state systems. It features complementary output-enable inputs (1OE/2OE), operates from –40°C to 85°C, supports 5-V supply (4.5–5.5 V), delivers 64 mA sink current per output, and exhibits tPHL as low as 2.4 ns at 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN64BCT757N datasheet, SN64BCT757N pinout, SN64BCT757N application, or SN64BCT757N equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 20-pin DIP package mapping, confirmed open-collector drive capability, power-up high-impedance behavior, and direct alternatives for bus interface upgrades in industrial control and legacy computing systems.
Technical Context
The SN64BCT757N implements a BiCMOS architecture to minimize ICCZ during output disable and ensure fast switching with low propagation delay asymmetry (tPLH/tPHL ratio ≤ 2.9). Its dual independent output-enable controls (1OE and 2OE) allow segmented bus control across two groups of four drivers.
Each of the eight noninverting outputs is open-collector, requiring external pull-up resistors and enabling wired-AND logic, bus arbitration, and level translation up to 5.5 V. The device maintains high-impedance state during power-up/down sequences, preventing bus contention in hot-swap or sequenced-power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS logic rails and robust noise margin. |
| Output Sink Current | 64 mA per output - Supports direct driving of 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL inputs without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL = 2.4 ns (min), tPLH = 6.9 ns (min) at 5 V - Enables sub-10 ns edge timing for high-speed address latching. |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - Protects inputs against negative transients exceeding –1.2 V, meeting MIL-STD-883C stress limits. |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance outputs during VCC ramp - Eliminates bus glitches when supply rises slower than system clocks. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - Satisfies industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SN64BCT757N is supplied in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 300-mil width, with standard through-hole mounting and JEDEC MS-001 compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable controls for Group 1 (pins 18,16,14,12) and Group 2 (pins 9,7,5,3); independent gating enables partial bus activation. |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A1–1A4 | Noninverting input signals for first quad of drivers; routed to corresponding Y outputs when 1OE = L. |
| 3,5,7,9 | 2Y1–2Y4 | Open-collector outputs for second quad; sink current only, require external pull-up for logic HIGH. |
| 11,13,15,17 | 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting inputs for second quad; active when 2OE = L, synchronized with 2Y outputs. |
| 12,14,16,18 | 1Y1–1Y4 | Open-collector outputs for first quad; electrically isolated from 2Y group, allowing split-bus control. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 20 | VCC | +5-V supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of pin for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS process technology | Reduces ICCZ to 10 mA typical during 3-state mode - cuts standby power by >70% vs. bipolar-only equivalents. |
| Complementary OE inputs | Independent 1OE and 2OE pins enable selective activation of two 4-bit driver banks - simplifies address multiplexing in multi-module systems. |
| Open-collector outputs | Supports wired-AND bus topology and level-shifting up to 5.5 V - eliminates need for external logic translators in mixed-voltage backplanes. |
| Power sequencing immunity | Guaranteed high-Z during VCC ramp (Δt/ΔVCC ≤ 2 µs/V) - prevents data corruption in systems with staggered power supplies. |
| ESD-hardened I/O | Exceeds 2000 V HBM and 200 V machine model - reduces field failure risk in manual assembly and repair environments. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal open-collector buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74BCT757N | Same pinout and function but rated only for 0°C to 70°C ambient; lower ESD rating (1500 V HBM). | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) required in outdoor or factory-floor deployments. | Select SN74BCT757N only for commercial-grade systems with controlled thermal environments. |
| SN64BCT257N | Inverting output polarity; identical timing, drive strength, and temperature range. | Requires logic inversion in upstream signal path or downstream decoding - increases gate count if noninverting behavior is mandatory. | Choose SN64BCT257N only when system-level logic already accommodates inverted enable or data paths. |
Compared with SN74BCT757N and SN64BCT257N, the SN64BCT757N uniquely combines –40°C to 85°C operation, 2000-V HBM ESD rating, and noninverting functionality in a 20-pin DIP - making it the sole option for ruggedized, drop-in replacement in legacy military and industrial bus designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SN64BCT757N?
The SN64BCT757N is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial and extended-temperature applications. This range is explicitly specified in the absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions tables of the official Texas Instruments datasheet SCBS479. The SN64BCT757N maintains full electrical performance-including 64 mA output sink capability and sub-10 ns propagation delays-across this entire range.
Does the SN64BCT757N support 3.3-V input logic levels?
No, the SN64BCT757N does not guarantee reliable operation with 3.3-V inputs. Its input voltage thresholds are defined for 5-V TTL compatibility: VIL = 0.8 V max and VIH = 2.0 V min. While a 3.3-V signal may exceed VIH, the device lacks 3.3-V tolerant input structure and is not characterized for mixed-voltage operation. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends the SN74LVC8T245 or similar level-translating buffers instead of the SN64BCT757N.
Can the SN64BCT757N replace the SN74LS244 in existing designs?
The SN64BCT757N can replace the SN74LS244 in many 5-V bus-driving applications but requires design verification. Unlike the LS244, the SN64BCT757N has open-collector outputs (not push-pull) and complementary OE inputs. Pull-up resistors must be added, and OE logic polarity must match. Its higher speed (2.4 ns tPHL vs. ~15 ns for LS244) and 64 mA drive improve performance, but the SN64BCT757N is not a pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the SN74LS244.
What is the maximum sink current per output on the SN64BCT757N?
The SN64BCT757N supports a guaranteed minimum sink current of 64 mA per output at VO = 0.55 V and VCC = 4.5 V, as specified in the "recommended operating conditions" table. This value is confirmed under worst-case conditions (–40°C to 85°C, VCC = 4.5 V) and enables direct driving of multiple TTL loads or termination of 50-Ω transmission lines without external amplification. The absolute maximum rating allows up to 128 mA, but sustained operation above 64 mA is not characterized.
Is the SN64BCT757N RoHS compliant?
The SN64BCT757N is a legacy PDIP device manufactured prior to RoHS enforcement and is not RoHS compliant. TI's packaging documentation confirms that the N-suffix (DIP) variant carries leaded finish and no RoHS exemption code. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider the SN64BCT757DWR (SOIC-20, lead-free NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1), which shares identical electrical specifications and functionality with the SN64BCT757N.
