Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2241PWR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, sinks up to 12 mA per output, features integrated 25-Ω series output resistors, and is rated for –40°C to 85°C operation in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2241PWR datasheet, SN74ABT2241PWR pinout, SN74ABT2241PWR application, or SN74ABT2241PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, true pin functions, real-world use cases in bus driving and clock distribution, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer groups (1A→1Y and 2A→2Y), each controlled by active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE and 2OE). Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.7 ns at 5 V, CL = 50 pF) while reducing power dissipation versus standard TTL.
The outputs incorporate on-die 25-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external resistors. Input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2 V), and output drive strength is asymmetric: IOL = 12 mA (sink), IOH = –24 mA (source) at VCC = 4.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V logic systems and tolerance for rail variation. |
| Output Drive (Low) | 12 mA - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate-capacitance buses directly. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 4.7 ns - Enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus timing paths up to ~200 MHz. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 5.8 ns - Fast output disable supports dynamic bus sharing with minimal contention window. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Fully compatible with legacy TTL and LVTTL signal sources. |
| Output Series Resistance | 25 Ω (integrated) - 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. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.95 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low enable for Y1–Y4 outputs | Drives all four 1Y outputs into high-impedance when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| 1A1–1A4 | Noninverting data inputs for first buffer group | Accept TTL-level signals; drive corresponding 1Y1–1Y4 outputs when 1OE is low. |
| 1Y1–1Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs (Group 1) | Each includes 25-Ω series resistor; sink 12 mA, source –24 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. |
| 2OE | Active-low enable for Y1–Y4 outputs (Group 2) | Independent control of second buffer group; same pullup requirement as 1OE. |
| 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting data inputs for second buffer group | Electrically isolated from Group 1; allows dual-bus or split-address driving. |
| 2Y1–2Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs (Group 2) | Match 1Y electrical specs; enable/disable timing identical to Group 1 outputs. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Single ground pin shared by both groups; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates external termination components, reduces BOM count, and improves signal integrity on FR-4 traces. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power: ICC < 30 mA (all outputs active), < 250 µA (all disabled). |
| High fan-out capability | Drives ≥ 10 LSTTL loads per output - suitable for multi-drop address or control bus distribution. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - Minimizes noise coupling into sensitive analog or mixed-signal sections. |
| Asymmetric output drive | 12 mA sink / –24 mA source - Optimized for driving capacitive loads and pulling up weakly terminated lines. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | System 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower voltage (1.65–3.6 V), CMOS-only process, 24-mA drive, no integrated series resistors. | Requires external 33-Ω series termination for clean edges on 50-Ω traces; unsuitable for 5-V-only systems. | Select when migrating to 3.3-V logic domains and board space allows added termination resistors. |
| SN74ABT244N | Dual-in-line (N) package, 20-pin PDIP, identical electrical specs but larger footprint and through-hole mounting. | Used in legacy prototyping, repair, or through-hole production where TSSOP reflow is unavailable. | Choose only for hand-soldered prototypes or backward-compatible replacements where PW package is not feasible. |
Compared with SN74ABT2241PWR, SN74LVC244APWR offers lower voltage operation but demands external termination and lacks 5-V compatibility, while SN74ABT244N retains full electrical equivalence at the cost of larger size and obsolete packaging - making the PWR variant optimal for modern surface-mount industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of SN74ABT2241PWR?
The SN74ABT2241PWR provides 12 mA sink current (IOL) and –24 mA source current (IOH) per output at VCC = 4.5 V. These values are specified under recommended operating conditions and ensure reliable driving of TTL and LSTTL loads without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.
Does SN74ABT2241PWR require external series termination resistors?
No. The SN74ABT2241PWR integrates 25-Ω series resistors on all eight outputs, eliminating the need for external termination components. This feature reduces PCB area, BOM count, and design complexity while improving signal integrity on typical FR-4 interconnects.
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT2241PWR?
The SN74ABT2241PWR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for industrial-grade applications. This range is distinct from the military-grade SN54ABT2241 (–55°C to +125°C) and reflects its target use in commercial and industrial embedded systems.
How should the OE pins be handled during power-up to ensure safe 3-state behavior?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, both 1OE and 2OE must be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving logic; a 10-kΩ resistor is commonly used and verified in TI application notes for this device.
Is SN74ABT2241PWR pin-compatible with older 74-series buffers like 74LS241?
Yes - SN74ABT2241PWR maintains identical pinout, function, and logic behavior as 74LS241 and 74F241, enabling drop-in replacement. However, it adds integrated 25-Ω resistors, improved speed (≤4.7 ns vs. ~10 ns), and lower power consumption, making it a direct functional and physical upgrade.
