Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2240ADBLE from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It features dual 4-bit sections with independent active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, 25-Ω integrated series output resistors, ±12 mA output drive capability, and operation over –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2240ADBLE datasheet, SN74ABT2240ADBLE pinout, SN74ABT2240ADBLE application, or SN74ABT2240ADBLE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus interface compatibility, TTL-level input thresholds, low ground bounce (<1 V), high-speed propagation (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.8 ns), and SSOP-20 package constraints for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated OE control. Outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high; data passes inverted from A to Y when OE is low - confirming its role as a true inverting buffer per functional table and logic diagram.
It uses EPIC-IIB BiCMOS technology to achieve low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2 V) and robust output drive (IOL = 12 mA, IOH = –24 mA at VCC = 5 V). The integrated 25-Ω series resistor suppresses overshoot/undershoot without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems with margin for supply variation. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 12 mA / IOH = –24 mA - supports direct connection to multiple TTL loads or stub-bus termination without external drivers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.8 ns @ 5 V - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~200 MHz toggle rate. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZL ≤ 6.8 ns, tPHZ ≤ 6.4 ns - guarantees fast bus release and acquisition for time-critical multiplexed interfaces. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - fully compatible with legacy TTL logic families and mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V @ 5 V, 25°C - minimizes noise coupling into shared VCC/GND planes during simultaneous switching. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM - exceeds JEDEC standards for handling robustness in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2240ADBLE is packaged in a 20-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DB), 5.3 mm × 7.2 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant with CU NIPDAU finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Independent control of each 4-bit section; high = high-Z output, low = enabled buffer path. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Input Data Lines | Noninverting inputs for respective 4-bit sections; accept TTL/CMOS logic levels. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Inverting Output Lines | Buffered, 3-state outputs with built-in 25-Ω series resistance to dampen signal reflections. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power Supply | 5-V nominal supply; decoupling required near pin for noise suppression and ground bounce mitigation. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground Reference | Common return for all signals and power; critical for minimizing ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω Series Resistors | Eliminates need for external source termination resistors on PCB, reducing component count and layout complexity. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS Process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power, achieving <1 V ground bounce and reduced ICCEX vs. pure bipolar designs. |
| High Fan-Out Capability | Drives ≥10 standard TTL loads per output, enabling direct connection to dense memory or peripheral address buses. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ESD stress conditions. |
| Power-Up/Down High-Z Safety | OE tied to VCC via pullup ensures outputs remain high-impedance during supply ramp, preventing bus contention. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2240ADBR | Same die, identical electrical specs, DB package with tape-and-reel (2000 pcs), active status vs. DBLE's obsolete status. | Identical use cases; preferred for new production due to guaranteed availability and automated assembly support. | Select SN74ABT2240ADBR for volume manufacturing; DBLE is obsolete and unsuitable for new designs. |
| SN74ABT2244APWR | Complementary variant: dual 4-bit inverting buffer with same pinout, timing, and drive strength but inverted logic function. | Used where signal polarity inversion is required in bus drivers or clock distribution paths. | Choose SN74ABT2244APWR only if system logic requires inversion; otherwise, SN74ABT2240ADBR is direct functional replacement. |
Compared with SN74ABT2240ADBLE, SN74ABT2240ADBR offers assured supply continuity and SMT-ready packaging, while SN74ABT2244APWR provides matched performance for inverted-signal paths - both avoid obsolescence risks and support long-term design stability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT2240ADBLE?
The SN74ABT2240ADBLE is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with standard industrial ambient conditions and matches the SN74ABT2240A specification sheet. While the military-grade SN54ABT2240A extends to –55°C to +125°C, the SN74ABT2240ADBLE is not rated for those extremes.
Does SN74ABT2240ADBLE support true 3-state operation with independent section control?
Yes, SN74ABT2240ADBLE provides two independent 4-bit sections, each with its own active-low output-enable input (1OE and 2OE). When either OE is high, its corresponding Y outputs go to high-impedance; when low, the A-to-Y path is enabled with inversion. This allows selective bus driving without affecting the other section.
Is SN74ABT2240ADBLE pin-compatible with other packages in the ABT2240 family?
Yes, SN74ABT2240ADBLE shares identical pinout and functionality with all SN74ABT2240A variants in DB, DW, N, PW, and NS packages. Pin numbering, signal assignment, and electrical behavior are consistent across these packages - only mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics differ.
What is the purpose of the 25-Ω series resistor integrated into each output of SN74ABT2240ADBLE?
The 25-Ω series resistor in each output of SN74ABT2240ADBLE serves as built-in source termination to reduce signal overshoot and undershoot on transmission lines. It eliminates the need for discrete resistors on the PCB, simplifying layout and improving signal integrity in high-speed bus applications without external component placement.
Can SN74ABT2240ADBLE be used in place of SN74ABT2240ADBR in new designs?
No - SN74ABT2240ADBLE is marked OBSOLETE by Texas Instruments, while SN74ABT2240ADBR is ACTIVE with full production support and tape-and-reel packaging. For new designs, SN74ABT2240ADBR is the recommended replacement; SN74ABT2240ADBLE should only be considered for legacy repair or spare-part fulfillment where no redesign is possible.
