Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16540ADL from Texas Instruments is an inverting 16-bit buffer/driver with dual 8-bit sections, 3-state outputs, ±32-mA high-drive capability, and operation over –40°C to 85°C. It serves as a high-speed bus interface in wide-data-path systems such as backplane transceivers and memory expansion modules.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16540ADL datasheet, SN74ABT16540ADL pinout, SN74ABT16540ADL application, or SN74ABT16540ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength (–32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL), 3-state enable logic (dual active-low AND-gated OE inputs), flow-through pin architecture for PCB layout optimization, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with industrial temperature requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit inverting buffer sections, each with separate 2-input AND-gated output-enable (OE1/OE2) control where either high input forces all corresponding outputs into high-impedance. The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP at 5 V) and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD-17.
It features distributed VCC/GND pinning to suppress high-speed switching noise, supports TTL-level inputs (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), and delivers propagation delays as low as 1 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at 5 V with 50-pF load - optimized for synchronous data bus buffering in legacy industrial controllers and test equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
SN74ABT16540ADL uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 300-mil body width, with 0.025-inch (0.635 mm) lead pitch and flow-through pin arrangement minimizing trace crossovers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE1, 1OE2, 2OE1, 2OE2 | Section output-enable inputs | Active-low AND-gated controls: any high input disables its 8-bit section's outputs |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data inputs | Inverting inputs for respective 8-bit sections; drive complementary outputs |
| 1Y1–1Y8, 2Y1–2Y8 | Inverting buffered outputs | High-drive 3-state outputs; Y = NOT A when enabled |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise across the bus |
| GND (pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground reference | Five dedicated GND pins ensure low-impedance return paths for all 16 outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces dynamic power vs. pure bipolar while retaining TTL-compatible speed and drive |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides - simplifies layer routing and reduces vias |
| Distributed VCC/GND pinning | Minimizes ground bounce and supply rail collapse during full-bus switching events |
| High-current 3-state outputs | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL supports driving >10 standard TTL loads per output |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT162244ADL | Non-inverting 16-bit buffer; identical pinout, drive strength, and temperature range | Used where signal polarity must be preserved (e.g., address bus buffering) | Select when inversion is not required and pin compatibility with SN74ABT16540ADL is critical |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 3.3-V only operation; lower drive (–24 mA/24 mA); different input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min) | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3-V systems interfacing to 5-V peripherals via level shifters | Choose for modern low-power designs requiring 3.3-V compatibility and reduced ICC |
Compared with SN74ABT16540ADL, SN74ABT162244ADL preserves signal polarity with identical 5-V operation and drive, while SN74LVC16244ADGGR trades 5-V tolerance and higher drive for 3.3-V efficiency and lower static current - guiding selection based on voltage domain and inversion requirement.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT16540ADL?
The SN74ABT16540ADL is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is confirmed in the recommended operating conditions table of the official datasheet (SCBS208C, April 1997 revision), and applies specifically to the SN74ABT16540A variant packaged in the DL (SSOP) format. The SN74ABT16540ADL does not support extended military temperature ranges.
Does SN74ABT16540ADL support 3.3-V operation?
No, SN74ABT16540ADL requires a 4.5-V to 5.5-V supply and is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and output drive specifications are defined only within the 5-V domain. Attempting 3.3-V supply will result in undefined logic behavior and failure to meet AC/DC specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74LVC16244ADGGR as an alternative.
How does the 3-state enable logic work on SN74ABT16540ADL?
The SN74ABT16540ADL uses dual active-low 2-input AND gates per 8-bit section: for Section 1, outputs go high-impedance if either 1OE1 or 1OE2 is high; similarly for Section 2 with 2OE1/2OE2. This design allows independent control of each 8-bit bank. To guarantee high-impedance during power-up, TI recommends tying OE inputs to VCC via a pullup resistor sized per the driver's sink capability - a requirement explicitly stated for SN74ABT16540ADL in the datasheet.
What package type is used by SN74ABT16540ADL?
SN74ABT16540ADL uses the DL package: a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP) with 300-mil body width and 0.025-inch lead pitch. This is confirmed in TI's official packaging addendum, where SN74ABT16540ADL is listed as "SSOP (DL) | 48" with tube packaging (25 units). It is distinct from the DGG (TSSOP) and DGV packages used by other variants in the same family.
Is SN74ABT16540ADL pin-compatible with SN74ABT162244ADL?
Yes, SN74ABT16540ADL and SN74ABT162244ADL share identical 48-pin DL (SSOP) package dimensions, pin count, and physical pinout - including matching VCC, GND, input, output, and OE locations. However, SN74ABT162244ADL is non-inverting, so functional replacement requires verifying signal polarity requirements in the target circuit. This pin compatibility is documented in TI's package drawings and confirmed across both devices' ordering information.
