Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2240APWLE from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It features two independent 4-bit sections, each with active-low output-enable (OE), 25-Ω integrated series output resistors, ±12 mA output drive, and operation over –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2240APWLE datasheet, SN74ABT2240APWLE pinout, SN74ABT2240APWLE application, or SN74ABT2240APWLE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus driving capability, TTL-compatible input thresholds, low ground bounce (<1 V), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and TSSOP-20 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with symmetrical active-low OE controls per section. Each output incorporates on-die 25-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components. The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables high-speed switching (tPHL/tPLH ≤ 5.1 ns at 5 V) while limiting ICC to 30 mA max under full load.
Input thresholds comply with TTL levels (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2 V), and output drive supports 12 mA sink / –24 mA source. High-impedance state is ensured during power sequencing via external pull-up on OE, and latch-up performance exceeds 500 mA per JESD17.
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 sink / –24 mA source - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 5.1 ns (A→Y, VCC = 5 V) - enables use in high-speed address/data buffering up to ~100 MHz |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 4.7 ns - fast output disable supports dynamic bus sharing in multiplexed architectures |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - direct TTL-level interfacing without level shifters |
| On-Die Termination | 25-Ω series resistor per output - eliminates need for external series resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - robust handling in manufacturing and field-replaceable modules |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height - optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit section; must be pulled high via resistor for safe power-up high-Z state |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Noninverting inputs for respective output groups; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Each includes 25-Ω series resistor; sink up to 12 mA, source up to 24 mA |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Single 5-V supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins 10 and 11 per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω series output resistors | Eliminates external termination components, reduces signal reflections on PCB traces up to 10 cm |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces dynamic power vs. pure bipolar while maintaining TTL speed and drive strength |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) | Minimizes noise coupling into adjacent logic or analog circuits during simultaneous output switching |
| Latch-up immunity >500 mA | Ensures robustness against transient overcurrent events in industrial or hot-swap environments |
| Wide operating temperature range | –40°C to +85°C rating supports deployment in commercial and extended-temperature embedded systems |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244APWR | Inverting outputs (vs. noninverting in SN74ABT2240APWLE); identical pinout, timing, and drive specs | Requires logic inversion in upstream signal path; otherwise drop-in for inverted bus drivers | Select when system architecture requires inverted data polarity at the driver output stage |
| SN74LVC244APWR | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (24 mA sink/source), no integrated 25-Ω resistors | Not suitable for 5-V buses; requires external termination; better for low-power, mixed-voltage domains | Choose for new 3.3-V designs where power efficiency outweighs legacy 5-V compatibility and integrated termination |
Compared with SN74ABT2240APWLE, SN74ABT2244APWR offers functional equivalence with polarity inversion, while SN74LVC244APWR trades 5-V compatibility and on-die termination for lower voltage operation and reduced static current - making the former a direct functional alternative and the latter a domain-specific upgrade path.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT2240APWLE?
The SN74ABT2240APWLE is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial-extended temperature range supports reliable deployment in industrial controllers, test equipment, and networking hardware where ambient conditions exceed standard commercial limits but do not require full military-grade specifications.
Does SN74ABT2240APWLE require external series resistors on its outputs?
No. The SN74ABT2240APWLE integrates 25-Ω series resistors on all eight outputs, eliminating the need for external termination components. This feature reduces PCB component count, saves layout area, and improves signal integrity on short-to-medium-length traces by suppressing overshoot and undershoot without design iteration.
Can SN74ABT2240APWLE drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes. The SN74ABT2240APWLE provides 12 mA sink and –24 mA source capability per output, exceeding the –0.4 mA / 1.6 mA requirements of standard TTL. Its input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) are fully TTL-compatible, enabling direct connection to legacy 5-V logic families without level translation.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT2240APWLE?
To ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up, OE pins (1OE and 2OE) must be held high via pull-up resistors to VCC. TI recommends a minimum pull-up value determined by the driver's current-sinking capability - typically 10 kΩ suffices for most applications. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes.
Is SN74ABT2240APWLE pin-compatible with other ABT-series octal buffers?
Yes - SN74ABT2240APWLE shares identical TSSOP-20 pinout with SN74ABT2244APWR (inverting version) and SN74ABT2240APWR (active version). All three support the same 20-pin layout, enabling layout reuse across polarity and lifecycle variants, though firmware or schematic logic must account for inversion differences in the 2244 variant.
