Product details
Overview
SN74ABT244ANSR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver IC in SOIC-20 (NS) package, designed for memory address and bus interface applications. It features high-drive outputs (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), low output ground bounce (<1 V), and operates over −40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT244ANSR datasheet, SN74ABT244ANSR pinout, SN74ABT244ANSR application, or SN74ABT244ANSR equivalent, this device is selected for high-density 3-state bus driving where TTL-compatible input thresholds, fast enable/disable timing (tPZL ≤ 6.1 ns), and latch-up immunity (>500 mA) are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT244ANSR implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. Its EPIC-II™ BiCMOS process enables simultaneous low power dissipation and high current drive capability.
Each buffer passes data from A inputs to Y outputs when OE is low; outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high. To ensure safe power-up behavior, OE must be pulled up to VCC via external resistor - minimum value determined by driver's sink capability.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL systems without level-shifting |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs directly |
| tPZL / tPHZ | ≤6.1 ns / ≤6.6 ns - ensures rapid bus release and clean signal isolation during state transitions |
| VOL / VOH | ≤0.55 V @ 64 mA / ≥2.0 V @ −32 mA - maintains valid TTL logic levels under full load |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing environments |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - withstands handling and board-level electrostatic events without damage |
| Latch-Up | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - immune to destructive latch-up in noisy power domains |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT244ANSR uses a 20-pin SOIC (NS) package - 7.5 mm wide, 12.8 mm long, 2.35 mm height - compliant with JEDEC MS-012 and RoHS Green (no Sb/Br) standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 19 | Output Enable (Channel 1) | Active-low control for first 4-bit buffer group; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z safety |
| 2OE, 2 | Output Enable (Channel 2) | Independent active-low control for second 4-bit buffer group; supports staggered bus arbitration |
| 1A1–1A4, 2–4,6,8 | Data Inputs (Channel 1) | Noninverting inputs accepting TTL-level signals; VIH = 2.0 V min ensures noise margin |
| 2A1–2A4, 11,13,15,17 | Data Inputs (Channel 2) | Electrically isolated from Channel 1; allows dual-bus or split-address driving |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 18,16,14,12 | Outputs (Channel 1) | High-drive buffered outputs with controlled VOL/VOLP; suitable for backplane loading |
| 2Y1–2Y4, 9,7,5,3 | Outputs (Channel 2) | Matched propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns) to Channel 1 for synchronous bus operation |
| GND, 10 | Ground Reference | Single ground pin shared across both channels; requires low-inductance PCB return path |
| VCC, 20 | Supply Voltage | 5-V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin for stable switching |

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT244ANSR to avoid bus contention?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (via pullup resistor to VCC) during power-up to force outputs into high-impedance state before internal logic stabilizes. For SN74ABT244ANSR, use a resistor ≤10 kΩ to ensure sufficient sink current margin. This prevents unintended drive onto shared buses during VCC ramp.
Does SN74ABT244ANSR support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
No - SN74ABT244ANSR is strictly a 5-V device with VCC range 4.5–5.5 V and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). It does not tolerate 3.3-V inputs without external level translation, nor can it drive 3.3-V receivers without voltage limiting due to VOH ≥ 2.0 V at full load.
How does the latch-up immunity of SN74ABT244ANSR compare to standard 74LS devices?
SN74ABT244ANSR exceeds 500 mA latch-up immunity per JEDEC JESD-17, significantly higher than typical 74LS devices (≈100 mA). This makes SN74ABT244ANSR suitable for harsh industrial environments where transient-induced latch-up could cause system lockup or damage.
Can unused inputs on SN74ABT244ANSR be left floating?
No - TI explicitly states in the datasheet that unused inputs must be held high or low to prevent floating. Floating OE pins risk partial enablement and bus contention; floating A inputs increase ICC and may cause oscillation. Tie unused inputs directly to VCC or GND using short traces.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT244ANSR can drive while maintaining specified timing?
TI characterizes switching parameters (tPLH, tPHL, tPZL) at CL = 50 pF. While SN74ABT244ANSR can drive heavier loads (e.g., 100 pF) due to its 64-mA IOL, propagation delays increase nonlinearly beyond 50 pF. For designs requiring guaranteed timing, keep total load ≤50 pF - including trace, connector, and receiver input capacitance - or validate timing empirically.
