Product details
Overview
SN74ABT241ADWR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus-oriented applications. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA output drive, features 2.6 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH), and is qualified for –40°C to 85°C industrial operation in SOIC-20 (DW) package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT241ADWR datasheet, SN74ABT241ADWR pinout, SN74ABT241ADWR application, or SN74ABT241ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include high-drive 3-state bus interface capability, ground-bounce performance (<1 V VOLP), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and compatibility with TTL-level control signals in dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Each half drives four outputs (1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4) from corresponding inputs (1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4), supporting bidirectional bus isolation and clock distribution.
Its EPIC-II™B architecture enables low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and rail-to-rail output swing under heavy load-critical for driving terminated transmission lines and multiple CMOS/TTL loads simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across noisy 5 V supply rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA - Drives up to 16 standard TTL loads or terminates stubs in high-speed backplanes. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1 ns (min) to 4.6 ns (max) at 5 V - Supports >200 MHz data rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded buses. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - Minimizes signal integrity degradation during simultaneous switching. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - Prevents destructive latch-up in systems with transient voltage coupling. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - Enables safe handling and assembly without special ESD controls. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT241ADWR uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 7.5 mm × 13.3 mm × 2.65 mm, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 19 | Active-low enable for Y1–Y4 | Drives outputs 1Y1–1Y4 into high-impedance when high; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety. |
| 2OE, 2 | Active-low enable for Y5–Y8 | Independent control of second buffer bank; enables split-bus or staggered enable sequencing. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2–4,6,8 | Noninverting inputs (Bank 1) | Directly pass logic states to 1Y1–1Y4; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure noise margin in mixed-signal systems. |
| 2A1–2A4, 11,13,15,17 | Noninverting inputs (Bank 2) | Isolated input set allows independent sourcing for dual data paths or mirrored control signals. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 18,16,14,12 | Noninverting outputs (Bank 1) | High-drive outputs support fanout >10 and tolerate 50 pF load with sub-5 ns delay. |
| 2Y1–2Y4, 9,7,5,3 | Noninverting outputs (Bank 2) | Matched timing to Bank 1 outputs enables synchronous bus expansion without skew compensation. |
| GND, 10 | Power return | Single ground pin shared by both banks; layout must minimize impedance to reduce ground bounce coupling. |
| VCC, 20 | Supply rail | 5 V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| State-of-the-art EPIC-II™B BiCMOS process | Reduces static current vs. bipolar-only equivalents while retaining high-speed edge rates and drive strength. |
| Symmetrical active-low OE inputs | Enables clean, glitch-free bus release via synchronized OE deassertion across both banks. |
| High-impedance state during power-up/down | OE pins default disabled when unconnected; external pull-up ensures safe initialization without firmware dependency. |
| Output ground bounce <1 V | Mitigates false triggering in adjacent logic due to simultaneous output switching in high-density designs. |
| JEDEC-standard latch-up immunity | Guarantees survivability in environments with EFT bursts, hot-plug transients, or supply rail collapse. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT240ADWR | Inverting output logic (vs. noninverting in SN74ABT241ADWR); identical drive, timing, and package. | Requires logic inversion in upstream signal path; unsuitable where polarity must be preserved. | Select when bus protocol mandates inverted enable or data polarity, e.g., certain memory write strobes. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower voltage (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (24 mA), higher propagation delay (5.6 ns max), TSSOP-20 package. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; suited for 3.3 V systems with relaxed speed requirements. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power 3.3 V applications where 5 V tolerance and 64 mA drive are unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74ABT241ADWR, SN74ABT240ADWR preserves pinout and electrical specs but inverts signal polarity-requiring design validation of logic flow-while SN74LVC244APWR trades 5 V robustness and drive strength for 3.3 V compatibility and smaller footprint, necessitating layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74ABT241ADWR?
The SN74ABT241ADWR is characterized for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the recommended operating conditions in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SCBS184D, and applies specifically to the DW-package variant including SN74ABT241ADWR. Operation outside this range may result in parametric shift or functional failure.
Does SN74ABT241ADWR support hot-swap or live-insertion?
SN74ABT241ADWR is not explicitly rated for hot-swap operation. While its high latch-up immunity (>500 mA) and robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM) improve resilience during insertion, the device lacks controlled slew-rate outputs or power-on reset circuitry. Safe live insertion requires external current-limiting and sequencing circuitry; TI does not guarantee hot-swap functionality for SN74ABT241ADWR.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on SN74ABT241ADWR?
The datasheet specifies that OE should be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor whose minimum value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver. For SN74ABT241ADWR, with IOZL ≤ –10 µA in 3-state, a 10 kΩ resistor is commonly used-ensuring OE remains solidly high during power-up while drawing <0.5 mA. Lower values increase noise immunity but raise static current.
Can SN74ABT241ADWR drive a 50-pF capacitive load at full speed?
Yes. The switching characteristics table in the SN74ABT241ADWR datasheet specifies tPLH/tPHL parameters measured with CL = 50 pF. At VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, propagation delay is guaranteed ≤4.6 ns, confirming reliable operation into 50-pF loads typical of PCB traces and input capacitance of downstream devices.
Is SN74ABT241ADWR pin-compatible with older SN74ABT241 variants?
Yes. SN74ABT241ADWR shares identical pinout, function, and timing with other DW-package variants like SN74ABT241ADW (tube version). All SN74ABT241A DW variants use the same SOIC-20 (DW) footprint and logic mapping per the top-view diagram in SCBS184D, enabling drop-in replacement without layout modification.
