Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16240ADLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for high-density memory address, clock, and bus driver applications. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA output drive, features distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, and is rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial operation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16240ADLR datasheet, SN74ABT16240ADLR pinout, SN74ABT16240ADLR application, or SN74ABT16240ADLR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, package-specific pin mapping (DL package), real-world timing and drive specifications, and validated alternative options for bus interface design.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT16240ADLR implements four independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each with symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) control. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture enables high-speed propagation (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.7 ns at 5 V, 25°C) while reducing power dissipation versus earlier TTL-compatible families.
Distributed VCC and GND pins across the 48-pin SSOP (DL) package minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) and supply noise during simultaneous switching. Flow-through pinout supports optimized PCB layout with input and output banks aligned on opposite sides of the package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16244ADLR | Non-inverting output logic; otherwise identical pinout, drive strength, and timing. | Required where signal polarity must be preserved (e.g., direct data path without inversion compensation). | Select SN74ABT16244ADLR when system logic requires true (non-inverted) buffering; verify downstream logic accepts non-inverted data. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower voltage operation (1.65–3.6 V), reduced drive (±24 mA), smaller TSSOP-48 package (DGG). | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3-V systems but not 5-V bus interfaces; lacks latch-up immunity and high-noise immunity. | Choose SN74LVC16244ADGGR only for 3.3-V domains with lower drive needs; avoid in legacy 5-V industrial backplanes. |
Compared with SN74ABT16244ADLR and SN74LVC16244ADGGR, the SN74ABT16240ADLR uniquely delivers inverting logic, 5-V tolerance, and industrial-grade noise immunity in an SSOP package-making it optimal for legacy bus buffering where polarity inversion is acceptable and robustness is critical.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pins on the SN74ABT16240ADLR?
The SN74ABT16240ADLR has four active-low output-enable (OE) pins-1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE-each controlling a 4-bit buffer section independently. When an OE pin is low, its corresponding Y outputs reflect the inverted A inputs; when high, those outputs enter high-impedance state. To ensure safe power-up behavior, each OE should be pulled up to VCC via an external resistor.
Does the SN74ABT16240ADLR support 3.3-V input logic levels?
Yes-the SN74ABT16240ADLR accepts 3.3-V TTL/CMOS inputs reliably: its VIL is 0.8 V max and VIH is 2.0 V min, meaning a 3.3-V high signal (≥ 2.0 V) meets the guaranteed logic-high threshold. However, it requires a 4.5–5.5-V supply and outputs full 5-V swing, so it serves as a level translator from 3.3-V controllers to 5-V buses.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74ABT16240ADLR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
The SN74ABT16240ADLR's switching characteristics (e.g., tPLH, tPHL) are characterized at CL = 50 pF. While it can drive heavier loads due to its ±64 mA IOL, propagation delay increases linearly with capacitance. For loads exceeding 100 pF, derating curves in the datasheet show delays may exceed 6 ns; layout optimization (short traces, ground planes) is recommended for >75 pF loads.
Is the SN74ABT16240ADLR pin-compatible with other ABT-family 16-bit buffers?
Yes-the SN74ABT16240ADLR shares identical pinout and footprint with SN74ABT16244ADLR (non-inverting), SN74ABT16373ADLR (latch), and SN74ABT16543ADLR (transceiver) in the DL (SSOP-48) package. This allows functional substitution in existing layouts when logic function or directionality changes-but always verify OE polarity, input/output direction, and timing margins.
How does the distributed VCC/GND architecture improve noise performance in the SN74ABT16240ADLR?
The SN74ABT16240ADLR places four VCC and eight GND pins strategically across the 48-pin DL package to minimize current loop area and inductance. This reduces simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise-measured as ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V)-and stabilizes local supply rails during high-speed transitions, directly improving signal fidelity on shared buses.
