Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16240ADGG from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for high-density memory address, clock, and bus interface applications. It features symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, high-drive capability (–32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL), distributed VCC/GND pinning to suppress switching noise, and operates over –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16240ADGG datasheet, SN74ABT16240ADGG pinout, SN74ABT16240ADGG application, or SN74ABT16240ADGG equivalent, this device serves as a high-speed, low-ground-bounce logic interface for industrial control backplanes, telecom line cards, and embedded system data buses requiring robust 5-V TTL-compatible drive and precise 3-state timing control.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT16240ADGG implements four independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low OE control (1OE–4OE), enabling flexible partitioning into 4×4-bit, 2×8-bit, or 1×16-bit configurations. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture delivers fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.7 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) while minimizing power dissipation and ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V).
It uses a flow-through pinout and distributed power/ground layout to reduce crosstalk and PCB routing complexity. Input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and outputs maintain rail-to-rail swing under heavy load, supporting direct interfacing with legacy 5-V systems without level translation.

Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Backplane Data Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or Flash devices on a shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting 3-state buffer providing isolation, level-shifting, and fanout expansion between controller and memory array. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transistors or additional logic; supports hot-swap enable/disable per memory bank via individual OE control. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a CPU local bus to a 16-bit parallel backplane in industrial PLC or telecom line card. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver with controlled 3-state timing, ensuring clean bus release before next master asserts. Use Value: Meets tight tPZL/tPHZ specs (≤7.2 ns) to prevent bus contention; high drive strength maintains signal integrity over 15 cm traces. |
| Clock Distribution Network | Legacy System Bus Expansion |
Use Scenario: Distributing a 5-V clock signal to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs, FPGAs) with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew inverting buffer replicating and strengthening clock edges while preserving duty cycle. Use Value: Propagation delay matching across all 16 outputs (±0.5 ns typical) minimizes clock skew across subsystems. |
Use Scenario: Extending ISA or PC/104 bus signals in retro-computing or legacy test equipment upgrades. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TTL-compatible 3-state repeater restoring signal amplitude and timing margins degraded by long connectors or stubs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16244ADGG | Non-inverting output logic; identical pinout, drive strength, and timing specs. | Suitable where signal polarity must be preserved (e.g., data bus forwarding without inversion). | Select when system logic requires true (non-inverted) buffering rather than complemented outputs. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 3.3-V only operation; lower drive (24 mA IOL), higher speed (tPD ≈ 3.4 ns), LVTTL input thresholds. | Requires level translation for 5-V systems; optimized for low-voltage mixed-signal boards. | Choose for new 3.3-V designs prioritizing power efficiency and faster timing; not drop-in for 5-V legacy interfaces. |
Compared with SN74ABT16240ADGG, SN74ABT16244ADGG provides identical 5-V performance with non-inverting logic, while SN74LVC16244ADGGR trades voltage compatibility for lower power and higher speed in modern 3.3-V domains-neither is pin-compatible without schematic or voltage domain changes.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT16240ADGG to ensure high-impedance outputs?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (inactive) during power-up to guarantee outputs remain in high-impedance state. Tie each OE (pins 1, 24, 25, 48) to VCC via a pull-up resistor; minimum value depends on driver sink capability but ≥10 kΩ is typical. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes. The SN74ABT16240ADGG does not include internal power-on reset circuitry, so external OE control is mandatory.
Can SN74ABT16240ADGG drive 50-Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes-the SN74ABT16240ADGG's 64-mA IOL and –32-mA IOH allow direct termination of 50-Ω lines in unterminated or series-terminated configurations. At 5 V, it delivers >100 mW into 50 Ω, sustaining clean logic levels (VOL ≤ 0.55 V) even under full load. For controlled-impedance PCBs, use series resistors near the driver output to match trace Z₀ and suppress reflections.
Does SN74ABT16240ADGG support hot-swap insertion into a live 5-V bus?
No-SN74ABT16240ADGG is not hot-swap rated. Its absolute maximum ratings permit only brief exposure to VCC = 0 V while inputs/outputs are biased, but no built-in current limiting or slew control protects against insertion transients. For live-backplane applications, add external series resistors (e.g., 10–22 Ω) and TVS diodes on all I/O lines before using SN74ABT16240ADGG in hot-plug scenarios.
How does the distributed VCC/GND layout in SN74ABT16240ADGG reduce switching noise?
The SN74ABT16240ADGG places four VCC (pins 7, 21, 34, 45) and seven GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 28, 31, 39, 42) pins strategically across the TSSOP-48 footprint. This lowers high-frequency loop inductance, distributes return currents, and decouples switching events across the die-reducing simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise and keeping VOLP below 1 V, as verified in TI's characterization data.
Is SN74ABT16240ADGG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-SN74ABT16240ADGG is RoHS compliant with lead-free (NIPDAU) terminal finish, per TI's packaging addendum. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is qualified for peak reflow at 260°C. The part marking "ABT16240A" appears on the top surface, and full compliance documentation is available in TI's official product change notices.
