Product details

Overview

SN74ABT240ADB from Texas Instruments is an octal inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It features two independent 4-bit sections, each with active-low output-enable (OE), 25-Ω integrated series output resistors, ±12 mA output drive capability, and operation over –40°C to 85°C.

For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT240ADB datasheet, SN74ABT240ADB pinout, SN74ABT240ADB application, or SN74ABT240ADB equivalent, this device supports high-density bus driving with reduced signal integrity issues due to on-die termination, low ground bounce (<1 V), and robust ESD protection (2000 V HBM).

Technical Context

This BiCMOS octal buffer implements dual 4-bit inverting logic paths with symmetrical active-low OE controls per section. Each output incorporates a built-in 25-Ω series resistor to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.

It operates at 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivers 12 mA sink current per output, and achieves typical propagation delays of 1–4.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL) and enable/disable times as low as 1.1 ns (tPZH). Latch-up immunity exceeds 500 mA per JESD17.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS systems.
Output Drive12 mA sink per Y output - Supports direct connection to standard TTL loads without external pull-ups.
Propagation Delay1.0–4.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL @ VCC=5 V, CL=50 pF) - Enables high-speed bus timing in memory and clock distribution circuits.
Output Series Resistance25 Ω integrated - Eliminates need for external series termination resistors on PCB traces.
Ground Bounce (VOLP)<1 V @ VCC=5 V, TA=25°C - Reduces noise coupling into shared ground planes during simultaneous switching.
ESD Protection2000 V HBM, 200 V MM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for ruggedness in industrial environments.
Latch-Up Immunity>500 mA per JESD17 - Guarantees fault tolerance under transient overcurrent conditions.

Pinout & Package

SN74ABT240ADB uses a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-150 compliant, body dimensions 7.5 mm × 5.3 mm × 1.95 mm.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
1OE, 2OEActive-low output-enable control inputsEnable/disable respective 4-bit sections independently; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure high-Z state.
1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4Inverting data inputsAccept TTL/CMOS-level signals; drive inverted logic to corresponding Y outputs when OE is low.
1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4Inverting 3-state outputsDeliver inverted A-input logic with 25-Ω series resistance; enter high-impedance state when OE is high.
VCCPositive supply5-V nominal supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable operation.
GNDGround referenceCommon return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; critical for minimizing ground bounce.

Applications

Memory Address BufferingBus Transceiver Interface

Use Scenario: Driving address lines from microcontroller or FPGA to multiple SRAM or EPROM chips in a shared-memory system.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting octal buffer providing level translation, fan-out amplification, and controlled 3-state isolation between master and slave devices.

Use Value: Integrated 25-Ω resistors suppress ringing on long address traces, while fast 1–4.8 ns delays preserve setup/hold timing margins.

Use Scenario: Bidirectional data bus isolation between processor and peripheral ICs using external direction control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One-directional 3-state line driver used in half-duplex configurations where separate transmit/receive paths are implemented.

Use Value: Dual OE inputs allow precise timing control of data launch windows, reducing bus contention risk during state transitions.

Legacy System Bus ExpansionClock Distribution Buffering

Use Scenario: Extending ISA or LPC bus segments in industrial control backplanes requiring signal integrity preservation over 10+ cm traces.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-drive octal buffer isolating legacy CPU address/data buses from add-on expansion modules.

Use Value: 12 mA sink capability ensures reliable logic-low assertion across unterminated stubs; low VOLP prevents false triggering of downstream receivers.

Use Scenario: Distributing a single system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs, FPGAs) with matched skew.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverting clock buffer delivering phase-aligned copies with minimized propagation delay variation across outputs.

Use Value: Tight tPLH/tPHL matching (±0.5 ns typical) and integrated series termination reduce jitter accumulation and edge distortion.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SN74ABT240NSame logic function and electrical specs, but in 20-pin PDIP package (7.62 mm pitch, through-hole mount).Suitable for prototyping, legacy through-hole designs, or mixed-technology boards where SSOP reflow is not available.Select SN74ABT240N when manual assembly, socketing, or thermal mass requirements favor DIP over surface-mount.
SN74LVC240APWR3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (24 mA push/pull), no integrated 25-Ω resistors, higher input capacitance (4.5 pF).Targeted for modern low-voltage digital systems; requires external termination and level-shifting for 5-V interfacing.Choose SN74LVC240APWR only in new 3.3-V designs where power efficiency and smaller TSSOP-20 footprint outweigh loss of 5-V compatibility and on-die termination.

Compared with SN74ABT240N and SN74LVC240APWR, SN74ABT240ADB uniquely combines 5-V operation, integrated 25-Ω output resistors, and SSOP packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial bus interfaces requiring legacy voltage compatibility and signal integrity out-of-the-box.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT240ADB?

The SN74ABT240ADB is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is validated per the recommended operating conditions in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SCBS232E, and applies specifically to the DB-package variants including SN74ABT240ADB.

Does SN74ABT240ADB include built-in series termination resistors?

Yes, SN74ABT240ADB integrates 25-Ω series resistors on all eight Y outputs. This design eliminates the need for external termination components, directly addressing signal integrity concerns like overshoot and undershoot in high-speed bus applications-confirmed in the "Output Ports Have Equivalent 25-Ω Series Resistors" feature statement of the datasheet.

Can SN74ABT240ADB drive standard TTL loads?

Yes, SN74ABT240ADB can drive up to 12 standard TTL loads per output, as specified by its 12 mA low-level output current (IOL) rating at VCC = 4.5 V. This capability is explicitly documented in the "recommended operating conditions" table of the SN74ABT2240A datasheet, which fully applies to SN74ABT240ADB as a member of the same ABT2240A family.

What is the maximum propagation delay for SN74ABT240ADB?

The maximum propagation delay for SN74ABT240ADB is 4.8 ns (tPHL) and 4.1 ns (tPLH) at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C with CL = 50 pF, per the SN74ABT2240A switching characteristics table. These values represent worst-case delays under standard test conditions and are guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range.

How should the OE pins be handled during power-up to avoid bus contention?

To ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, both 1OE and 2OE pins of SN74ABT240ADB must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistor value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source, as stated in the functional description section of the datasheet-this prevents unintended output activation before system initialization completes.
