Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2240DWR 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 sections with independent active-low OE inputs, 25-Ω integrated output series resistors, ±12 mA output drive, and operation across –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2240DWR datasheet, SN74ABT2240DWR pinout, SN74ABT2240DWR application, or SN74ABT2240DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC-DW package, TTL-compatible input thresholds, 3-state timing (tPZL ≤ 6.8 ns), low ground bounce (<1 V), and BiCMOS process enabling high fan-out with reduced power dissipation.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each with a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. Inputs accept standard TTL voltage levels (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), and outputs drive up to 12 mA low or –24 mA high while maintaining VOH ≥ 2.5 V at IOL = 12 mA and VCC = 4.5 V.
The internal 25-Ω series resistor per output suppresses overshoot/undershoot without external components. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture delivers fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.8 ns), low ICC in active state (≤30 mA), and ultra-low leakage in 3-state mode (IOZL/IOZH ≤ ±10 µA).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2240DWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm wide, with standard 0.050″ (1.27 mm) lead pitch and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish. Moisture sensitivity level is Level-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 19 | Section 1 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls Y1–Y4 outputs; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure high-impedance default. |
| 2OE, 2 | Section 2 Output Enable (active-low) | Independent control of Y1–Y4 outputs; enables time-multiplexed bus driving or isolation. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2–4,6,8 | Section 1 Inverting Input Ports | Accept TTL-level signals; invert and drive corresponding Y outputs when OE is low. |
| 2A1–2A4, 11,13,15,17 | Section 2 Inverting Input Ports | Separate 4-bit input group with independent OE; supports dual-bus or mirrored signal paths. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 18,16,14,12 | Section 1 Inverting Outputs | Drive inverted A-input data with 25-Ω series resistance; sink up to 12 mA per output. |
| 2Y1–2Y4, 9,7,5,3 | Section 2 Inverting Outputs | Matched electrical characteristics to Section 1; allows symmetrical layout in dense PCB designs. |
| VCC, 20 | Positive Supply | Must be decoupled locally; supports 4.5–5.5 V operation with typical ICC ≤ 30 mA under full load. |
| GND, 10 | Ground Reference | Common return for all I/O and supply currents; critical for minimizing VOLP (ground bounce <1 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates external termination components and reduces PCB routing complexity for controlled-impedance traces. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power, achieving <1 V ground bounce and <250 µA ICC in 3-state mode. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | 12 mA sink capability per output ensures robust drive into unterminated or lightly loaded buses. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V / VIH = 2.0 V guarantees interoperability with legacy 5-V logic families without level-shifting. |
| Latch-up immunity >500 mA | Meets JESD17 requirements, enabling reliable operation in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or ROM chips on a shared memory bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting octal buffer providing level translation, fan-out expansion, and 3-state isolation between master and slave devices. Use Value: Integrated 25-Ω resistors suppress ringing on long address traces; tPZL ≤ 6.8 ns ensures clean bus release before next cycle. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data path control between CPU and peripheral ICs using a single 8-bit data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-section 3-state driver enabling time-multiplexed read/write direction control via separate OE pins. Use Value: Independent OE inputs allow precise timing of bus ownership handoff; low VOLP prevents data corruption during switching transients. |
| Clock Distribution Network | Legacy System Bus Driver |
|
Use Scenario: Distributing a system clock or strobe signal to multiple synchronous peripherals with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew inverting buffer replicating one clock source to eight destinations with identical delay profiles. Use Value: Symmetrical tPLH/tPHL (≤4.8 ns) and matched internal paths minimize inter-channel skew across all eight outputs. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern controllers with legacy ISA, PC/104, or industrial backplane buses requiring 5-V TTL drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust line driver meeting legacy bus voltage, current, and timing specifications (e.g., ISA address setup/hold). Use Value: 12 mA sink drive and 2.5 V VOH at 4.5 V VCC satisfy strict TTL loading requirements; latch-up immunity protects against bus fault conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244ADWR | Non-inverting output polarity; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Required where signal inversion must be avoided in address/data paths. | Select when system logic requires true (non-inverted) signal replication rather than complemented outputs. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (24 mA), no integrated 25-Ω resistors. | Suitable for modern low-voltage systems but incompatible with 5-V buses without level shifters. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3-V designs where external termination is acceptable and 5-V tolerance is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74ABT2240DWR, SN74ABT2244ADWR preserves pin compatibility and performance while reversing logic polarity, whereas SN74LVC244APWR trades 5-V operation and integrated termination for lower voltage and higher speed-requiring redesign for voltage domain and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT2240DWR to avoid bus contention?
During power-up, tie both 1OE and 2OE pins to VCC through a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability, typically 1–10 kΩ). This ensures all outputs remain in high-impedance until system firmware asserts valid enable signals. The SN74ABT2240DWR's design requires this to prevent unintended drive onto shared buses before controller initialization completes.
Does SN74ABT2240DWR support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
No-SN74ABT2240DWR is not rated for hot-swap operation. Its absolute maximum ratings do not include powered insertion, and the lack of Ioff (power-off protection) means VCC must be stable before applying input signals. For hot-swap use cases, consider TI's TVS-protected or hot-swap–qualified buffers instead of the SN74ABT2240DWR.
Can SN74ABT2240DWR drive unterminated 50-Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes-the integrated 25-Ω series resistor per output is optimized for driving standard 50-Ω PCB traces in point-to-multipoint configurations. When paired with a 50-Ω load, it forms a near-critical damping network, reducing overshoot and undershoot without discrete components. This behavior is confirmed in the SN74ABT2240DWR datasheet's schematic of Y outputs and application notes on controlled-impedance routing.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT2240DWR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
The SN74ABT2240DWR's switching characteristics (e.g., tPLH ≤ 4.8 ns) are characterized at CL = 50 pF. Driving loads beyond 50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may degrade edge rate; for >50 pF, derating curves in the SN74ABT2240DWR datasheet show tPLH rises to ~7 ns at 100 pF. Keep total node capacitance ≤50 pF for guaranteed timing compliance.
How does the EPIC-IIB process in SN74ABT2240DWR improve reliability versus standard bipolar logic?
The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process combines bipolar transistors for speed and CMOS for low static power, resulting in <1 V typical VOLP (ground bounce) and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JESD17. This significantly improves noise margin and fault tolerance in electrically noisy industrial environments compared to pure bipolar 74F or 74AS logic-key advantages built into the SN74ABT2240DWR's architecture.
