Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2241DW from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus driving applications. It features 25-Ω integrated series output resistors, ±12 mA low-level output drive, 24 mA high-level sink capability, and operates over –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply. Used in high-density bus interface circuits where ground bounce suppression and fan-out enhancement are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2241DW datasheet, SN74ABT2241DW pinout, SN74ABT2241DW application, or SN74ABT2241DW equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, dual independent 4-bit 3-state enable control (1OE/2OE), TTL-compatible input thresholds, and built-in overshoot/undershoot mitigation via on-die series termination.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections-each with dedicated active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE and 2OE)-and uses EPIC-IIB BiCMOS technology to achieve low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-level drive strength. Its logic diagram confirms direct A→Y signal paths without inversion and explicit separation of output-enable domains.
The internal 25-Ω series resistor per output is integrated into the die structure-not external-and functions across all output states to dampen transmission-line reflections. Input hysteresis (100 mV) and controlled slew rate (5 ns/V) further support noise-immune operation in noisy digital systems.
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 mixed-voltage system rails. |
| IOL / IOH | 12 mA / –24 mA - Supports driving multiple TTL loads or short PCB traces without external buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1 ns (min) to 4.7 ns (max) at 5 V - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus timing windows. |
| VOL / VOH | 0.8 V max / 2.0 V min at IOL = 12 mA / IOH = –24 mA - Guarantees valid TTL logic levels under full load. |
| θJA (SOIC-DW) | 97°C/W - Defines thermal derating limit for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 85°C. |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV - Reduces susceptibility to noise-induced false triggering on enable or data inputs. |
| Output Series R | 25 Ω (integrated) - Eliminates need for external series termination resistors on PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2241DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm wide, 12.83 mm long, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and maximum height of 2.65 mm. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs controlling first and second 4-bit buffer groups independently. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A1–1A4 | Noninverting data inputs for first buffer group (pins map directly to outputs 18, 16, 14, 12). |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y4–2Y1 | Inverted-order outputs for second buffer group (2Y4 = pin 3, 2Y1 = pin 9), driven by inputs 11, 13, 15, 17. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting data inputs for second buffer group (driving outputs 9, 7, 5, 3 respectively). |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y1–1Y4 | Noninverting outputs for first buffer group (1Y1 = pin 12, 1Y4 = pin 18), enabled by 1OE (pin 1). |
| 10, 20 | GND, VCC | Power reference and supply pins - decoupling capacitor placement near pin 20 is critical for noise control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω series output resistors | Eliminates external termination components and reduces PCB layout complexity for impedance-matched bus driving. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power - typical ICC < 30 mA at full drive, enabling dense memory subsystems. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) | Ensures signal integrity during simultaneous output switching - critical for stable clock and address distribution. |
| Dual independent 3-state controls | Allows interleaved or partitioned bus access - e.g., one group drives address lines while the other handles data strobes. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max - ensures interoperability with legacy 5-V logic families without level-shifting. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT2240DW | Inverting outputs (A→Y̅) vs. SN74ABT2241DW's noninverting (A→Y); identical pinout, drive strength, and timing. | Required where logic polarity inversion is needed upstream - e.g., complementing address latch enables. | Select SN74ABT2240DW only when functional inversion is explicitly required; otherwise SN74ABT2241DW provides direct signal pass-through. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (24 mA push/pull), no integrated series resistors, TSSOP-20 package. | Suitable for modern low-voltage systems but incompatible with 5-V buses without level shifters. | Choose SN74LVC244APWR for new 3.3-V designs prioritizing lower power; retain SN74ABT2241DW for 5-V legacy or mixed-voltage interconnects. |
Compared with SN74ABT2240DW, SN74ABT2241DW avoids unintended logic inversion in address/data paths; compared with SN74LVC244APWR, it delivers native 5-V compatibility, integrated termination, and proven ground-bounce resilience in high-fanout memory interfaces.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT2241DW?
The SN74ABT2241DW is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial-grade temperature rating aligns with the SN74ABT2241 series (as opposed to the military-grade SN54ABT2241, rated –55°C to +125°C). Thermal performance is validated per JEDEC standards with θJA = 97°C/W in the SOIC-DW package.
Does SN74ABT2241DW require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
Yes - to ensure defined high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE inputs (pins 1 and 19) must be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor or to GND via a pull-down resistor. Minimum resistor values depend on the current-sourcing/sinking capability of the driving source, as specified in the TI datasheet SCBS233B.
Can SN74ABT2241DW drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - SN74ABT2241DW delivers 12 mA sink and –24 mA source capability at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, exceeding standard TTL unit load requirements (≤ 1.6 mA input current). Its VOH ≥ 2.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.8 V at full load guarantee valid logic levels across 10+ TTL inputs, making it suitable for direct fan-out expansion.
Is SN74ABT2241DW pin-compatible with other packages in the ABT2241 family?
Yes - SN74ABT2241DW shares identical pinout and function with SN74ABT2241DBR (SSOP-20) and SN74ABT2241PWR (TSSOP-20). All variants use the same top-view pin numbering and logic assignment, enabling drop-in replacement across SOIC, SSOP, and TSSOP footprints where board space and thermal constraints permit.
What is the purpose of the 25-Ω series resistor integrated into each output of SN74ABT2241DW?
The 25-Ω series resistor in SN74ABT2241DW is monolithically integrated to dampen signal reflections on PCB traces acting as transmission lines. It reduces overshoot and undershoot without requiring discrete components, improving signal integrity in high-speed bus and memory address routing - especially critical when driving unterminated or lightly loaded nets.
