Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2240APW from Texas Instruments is an octal inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It features dual 4-bit channels, symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, 25-Ω integrated series output resistors, ±12 mA output drive, and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V over –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2240APW datasheet, SN74ABT2240APW pinout, SN74ABT2240APW application, or SN74ABT2240APW equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus driving capability, output-ground-bounce suppression (<1 V), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and TSSOP-20 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each with dedicated OE control. Each output includes on-die 25-Ω series resistance to dampen signal reflections without external termination. The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds and 5-V operation.
Logic behavior is strictly defined: when OE is low, inverted A→Y data passes; when OE is high, outputs enter high-impedance state. To ensure safe power-up/power-down states, OE must be pulled up to VCC via an external resistor sized per driver sink capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Output drive | ±12 mA - Supports direct connection to 50-Ω transmission lines and fan-out to ≥20 LSTTL loads. |
| Propagation delay | 1 ns (min) to 4.8 ns (max) at 5 V - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus timing windows. |
| Output impedance | 25 Ω series - Eliminates need for external series termination resistors on PCB traces. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications. |
| Input threshold | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless interface with legacy controllers. |
| ESD rating | 2000 V HBM - Provides robust handling during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit section; high = high-Z, low = enabled/inverted output. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Inverting inputs for respective Y outputs; TTL-compatible thresholds and 4-pF input capacitance. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates external termination components and reduces PCB area and BOM count. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces dynamic power vs. pure bipolar while retaining TTL speed and drive strength. |
| Low output ground bounce | VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - Minimizes noise coupling into shared ground planes during switching. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD17 - Ensures robustness against transient current faults in dense digital systems. |
| High-impedance power-up default | OE tied to VCC ensures outputs remain disabled until system firmware asserts control - prevents bus contention. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20-bit address buses between microcontroller and SRAM/Flash in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting octal buffer with independent OE control isolates CPU address lines from memory load and enables time-multiplexed access. Use Value: Integrated 25-Ω resistors suppress overshoot on 50-Ω PCB traces, eliminating timing skew from reflection-induced ringing. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional data bus isolation between FPGA and peripheral ASIC in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 4-bit channel provides direction-controlled buffering; OE signals synchronized to bus arbitration logic. Use Value: ±12 mA drive supports stub-free routing across 10 cm backplane traces without signal integrity degradation. |
| Clock Distribution Fan-out | Legacy System Bus Extension |
Use Scenario: Distributing a 25-MHz system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals in telecom line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew inverting buffer with matched tPLH/tPHL (1–4.8 ns) maintains phase alignment across fan-out paths. Use Value: 4.5–5.5 V supply range allows operation alongside 5-V clock synthesizers without level-shifting. | Use Scenario: Extending ISA or LPC bus signals from legacy x86 host to custom I/O daughterboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds and 20-pin TSSOP footprint match vintage bus timing and layout constraints. Use Value: Latch-up immunity >500 mA protects against ESD events common in field-replaceable module insertion. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244APW | Non-inverting output polarity; identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Required where signal polarity preservation is mandatory (e.g., clock forwarding, non-inverted data paths). | Select SN74ABT2244APW only when inversion must be avoided; otherwise SN74ABT2240APW provides same density and performance. |
| SN74LVC244APW | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA), no integrated series resistors. | Suitable for modern low-voltage systems but requires external termination and level-shifting for 5-V interfaces. | Choose SN74LVC244APW for 3.3-V domains; SN74ABT2240APW remains optimal for 5-V legacy or mixed-signal bus interfacing. |
Compared with SN74ABT2244APW and SN74LVC244APW, the SN74ABT2240APW uniquely combines 5-V TTL compatibility, built-in 25-Ω termination, and industrial temperature range - making it the only drop-in solution for upgrading aging 5-V bus drivers without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the function of the SN74ABT2240APW?
The SN74ABT2240APW is an octal inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, organized as two independent 4-bit sections. Each section inverts input data (A→Y) when its OE pin is low; outputs go high-impedance when OE is high. It integrates 25-Ω series resistors per output to reduce signal reflections on PCB traces.
Does the SN74ABT2240APW require external termination resistors?
No. The SN74ABT2240APW includes equivalent 25-Ω series resistors on all eight outputs, eliminating the need for external series termination. This simplifies PCB layout, reduces component count, and improves signal integrity on controlled-impedance traces up to 50 Ω.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for the SN74ABT2240APW?
To prevent bus contention during power-up, OE pins must be held high (disabled) until VCC stabilizes. TI recommends tying 1OE and 2OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor; minimum value depends on the driver's sink capability - typically 4.7 kΩ suffices for most microcontroller GPIOs.
Can the SN74ABT2240APW operate at 3.3 V?
No. The SN74ABT2240APW is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive are optimized for 5-V TTL systems. For 3.3-V applications, consider the SN74LVC244APW instead.
What package type does the SN74ABT2240APW use?
The SN74ABT2240APW uses a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP-PW), measuring 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating for unlimited floor life.
