Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2240N from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus driving in 5-V systems. 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 across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2240N datasheet, SN74ABT2240N pinout, SN74ABT2240N application, or SN74ABT2240N equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to PDIP-20, real-world timing behavior (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.8 ns), thermal performance (θJA = 67°C/W), and validated drop-in alternatives for bus interface design.
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 - confirmed by function table and logic diagram. The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) while delivering rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Each output integrates a 25-Ω series resistor to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components. Output drive is asymmetric: IOL = 12 mA (sink), IOH = –24 mA (source at VCC = 5 V), supporting mixed-logic loading. Latch-up immunity exceeds 500 mA per JESD17, and ESD protection meets 2000 V HBM and 200 V machine model.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS buses. |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 12 mA sink - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤ 4.8 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables high-speed address/data buffering in 25+ MHz bus systems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless interfacing. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 67°C/W (PDIP-20) - defines maximum power dissipation before thermal derating in still-air environments. |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM - reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2240N uses a 20-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch, compatible with standard 0.1"-grid protoboards and wave-solder fixtures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Controls high-impedance state for respective 4-bit section; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to avoid bus contention. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Noninverting inputs for each buffer channel; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds ensure reliable signal capture. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive external loads with integrated 25-Ω series resistance; sink up to 12 mA per pin. |
| 10, 20 | GND, VCC | Power supply pins - require local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling near VCC/GND pair to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for external termination resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-speed bus designs. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces dynamic power consumption vs. standard bipolar TTL while maintaining speed and drive strength. |
| Asymmetric output drive (12 mA sink / 24 mA source) | Optimizes performance for common bus topologies where sink current dominates (e.g., pull-down dominant loads). |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) | Maintains signal integrity during simultaneous output switching, critical for noise-sensitive mixed-signal systems. |
| High latch-up immunity (>500 mA) | Enables robust operation in industrial environments with EFT and surge transients on shared power rails. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address bus from microcontroller to SRAM or Flash memory in embedded control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer with 3-state control isolates CPU from memory during DMA cycles; tPLH ≤ 4.8 ns supports 20+ MHz address setup. Use Value: Integrated 25-Ω resistors prevent ringing on long traces, eliminating need for 16 discrete terminations and saving 32 mm² PCB area. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting and isolation between two 5-V parallel buses sharing a common backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-section 3-state driver enables bidirectional data flow control; independent OE pins allow precise timing of bus turnarounds. Use Value: Asymmetric drive (12 mA sink / 24 mA source) matches typical bus loading asymmetry, improving rise/fall time balance without external biasing. |
| Clock Distribution | Legacy Peripheral Interface |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of system clock to multiple peripherals (UART, SPI, GPIO expanders) in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew buffer with matched propagation delays ensures synchronous edge delivery; VOLP < 1 V minimizes jitter injection. Use Value: High fan-out capability (≥10 TTL loads per output) eliminates need for cascaded buffers, reducing latency and component count. | Use Scenario: Interfacing legacy ISA-bus peripherals (e.g., parallel port controllers) to modern microcontrollers in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage- and timing-compatible buffer provides level translation and drive strength matching for 5-V TTL signaling standards. Use Value: TTL-input thresholds and rail-to-rail outputs ensure interoperability with decades-old peripheral ICs without level-shifters or pull-ups. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2244N | Inverting outputs (vs. noninverting in SN74ABT2240N); identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Required where logic inversion is needed in the signal path (e.g., active-low enable propagation). | Select SN74ABT2244N only when inversion is functionally required; otherwise SN74ABT2240N avoids extra inverters in BOM. |
| SN74ACT240N | CMOS process (vs. BiCMOS); lower ICC (250 µA vs. 30 mA active), but slower tPLH/tPHL (≤ 9 ns) and no integrated 25-Ω resistors. | Suitable for low-power, lower-speed systems where board space allows discrete termination. | Choose SN74ACT240N for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs; SN74ABT2240N preferred for speed-critical or layout-constrained bus interfaces. |
Compared with SN74ABT2240N, SN74ABT2244N offers functional inversion without timing or drive trade-offs, while SN74ACT240N trades speed and integrated termination for lower static power - enabling selection based on whether signal polarity, speed, or quiescent current dominates the design priority.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ABT2240N in a bus application?
The SN74ABT2240N does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.8 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) and enable/disable times (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 6.8 ns) support reliable operation in 25 MHz address/data buses. System-level timing margins depend on trace length, load capacitance, and slew rate; for 50-pF loads, SN74ABT2240N maintains signal integrity up to ~100 MHz edge rates.
Does SN74ABT2240N require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE pins must be tied to VCC via external pull-up resistors. TI recommends minimum values based on driver sink capability; for SN74ABT2240N, a 10-kΩ resistor is typical. This prevents bus contention before firmware initializes OE control.
Can SN74ABT2240N drive unterminated 50-Ω transmission lines?
No - SN74ABT2240N's integrated 25-Ω series resistors are optimized for driving capacitive loads (e.g., 50 pF) and short stubs, not 50-Ω controlled-impedance lines. For proper termination of 50-Ω lines, use external series or parallel resistors. The internal 25-Ω resistor helps dampen reflections on short, lightly loaded traces but does not match 50-Ω characteristic impedance.
Is SN74ABT2240N RoHS compliant?
Yes - SN74ABT2240N is manufactured in Pb-Free (RoHS-compliant) form, with CU NIPDAU lead finish. Per TI's packaging documentation, it meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, containing ≤0.1% lead by weight in homogeneous materials and no restricted brominated flame retardants.
How does the 25-Ω series resistor in SN74ABT2240N affect signal rise/fall times?
The integrated 25-Ω series resistor in SN74ABT2240N increases effective output impedance, which - when combined with load capacitance - forms an RC filter that slightly slows edge rates. For a 50-pF load, this adds ~1.25 ns to rise/fall time. However, this intentional slowing reduces overshoot/undershoot and EMI, making SN74ABT2240N more robust than non-terminated drivers in noisy industrial environments.
