Product details
Overview
SN74ABT2244AN from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature, sinks up to 12 mA per output, and features integrated 25-Ω series resistors to suppress overshoot/undershoot in high-speed digital buses.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT2244AN datasheet, SN74ABT2244AN pinout, SN74ABT2244AN application, or SN74ABT2244AN equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus driving capability, output current rating (12 mA), propagation delay (≤4.7 ns typ), power-up high-impedance behavior, and PDIP-20 package compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer groups (1A→1Y and 2A→2Y), each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process delivers low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and CMOS-level output drive.
The SN74ABT2244AN enters high-impedance state when VCC is between 0 and 2.1 V during power-up/down. Above 2.1 V, OE must be pulled high via external resistor to guarantee 3-state operation - minimum pullup value depends on driver sink capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems and robust noise margin |
| Output Drive | 12 mA sink per Y output - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or short PCB traces without external termination |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.7 ns (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - enables reliable operation in 100+ MHz bus timing budgets |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees interoperability with standard TTL logic families |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - exceeds MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling robustness in manufacturing and field use |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 67°C/W (PDIP-N) - defines maximum power dissipation limit under natural convection cooling |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT2244AN uses a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N) with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch. The package is through-hole mountable, RoHS-compliant, and rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 19 | Group 1 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls all four 1Y outputs; asserts high-impedance when logic high |
| 2OE, 2 | Group 2 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls all four 2Y outputs; independent of Group 1 for flexible bus partitioning |
| 1A1–1A4, 2–4,6,8 | Group 1 Data Inputs | Noninverting inputs feeding 1Y1–1Y4; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 2A1–2A4, 11,13,15,17 | Group 2 Data Inputs | Noninverting inputs feeding 2Y1–2Y4; electrically isolated from Group 1 |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 18,16,14,12 | Group 1 Buffered Outputs | 3-state outputs with integrated 25-Ω series resistance to damp signal reflections |
| 2Y1–2Y4, 9,7,5,3 | Group 2 Buffered Outputs | 3-state outputs with same internal series resistance; supports bidirectional bus isolation |
| GND, 10 | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| VCC, 20 | Power Supply | 5-V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω series output resistors | Eliminates need for external termination components on PCB, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| High-impedance during power sequencing | Prevents bus contention at power-up/down when VCC is between 0 and 2.1 V |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power - typical ICC = 24 mA (all outputs low) at VCC = 5.5 V |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - ensures robustness against transient overcurrent events |
| Output ground bounce (VOLP) | <1 V typical at VCC = 5 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signals during switching |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74ABT2244AN?
The SN74ABT2244AN is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation controllers, motor drives, and outdoor communication equipment where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. The device maintains full specification compliance across this entire range without derating.
Does the SN74ABT2244AN require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes - to guarantee high-impedance output state when VCC exceeds 2.1 V, OE pins (1OE and 2OE) must be tied to VCC through external pull-up resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the controlling driver; TI recommends verifying pull-up strength using the IOH specification (–24 mA min) to ensure valid logic-high levels under worst-case loading.
How does the built-in 25-Ω series resistor affect signal integrity in the SN74ABT2244AN?
The SN74ABT2244AN integrates 25-Ω series resistors at each output to dampen signal reflections caused by impedance mismatches on PCB traces. This reduces overshoot and undershoot without requiring discrete termination components, simplifying layout and improving timing margins in high-speed digital buses - especially beneficial for medium-length (≤10 cm) traces operating above 25 MHz.
Can the SN74ABT2244AN drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - the SN74ABT2244AN can drive up to 10 standard TTL loads per output, verified by its guaranteed 12-mA sink current (IOL) and compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). Its output voltage levels (VOL ≤ 0.8 V, VOH ≥ 2.5 V at IO = ±3 mA) meet or exceed TTL specifications, ensuring interoperability without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the separate 1OE and 2OE control inputs in the SN74ABT2244AN?
The SN74ABT2244AN features two independent active-low output-enable inputs (1OE on pin 19, 2OE on pin 2) to provide granular control over its two 4-bit buffer groups. This allows selective activation of Group 1 (1A→1Y) and Group 2 (2A→2Y) outputs - enabling time-multiplexed bus sharing, partial system power-down, or fault-isolation strategies without affecting the entire 8-bit path.
