Product details
Overview
SN74ABT244APWR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver with two independent 4-bit sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. It delivers high-drive outputs (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), operates at 4.5–5.5 V, and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C). It is used in memory address buffering, clock distribution, and bus-transceiver applications requiring robust drive strength and fast switching.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT244APWR datasheet, SN74ABT244APWR pinout, SN74ABT244APWR application, or SN74ABT244APWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 3-state output control timing (tPZL = 2.1 ns typ), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and ESD protection (>2000 V HBM).
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device uses EPIC-IIB design to reduce power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and rail-to-rail output swing. Its dual 4-bit architecture enables independent enable control per section, supporting asymmetric bus loading and partial bus isolation.
Switching performance is characterized under CL = 50 pF: propagation delay tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns (typ 2.6–2.9 ns), and 3-state enable/disable times (tPZH/tPZL/tPHZ/tPLZ) range from 1.1 ns to 5.7 ns. Output ground bounce (VOLP) remains <1 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V logic systems and tolerates supply ripple without functional degradation. |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - Enables direct driving of heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1 ns (min) to 4.6 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V - Supports high-speed data paths up to ~200 MHz in short trace configurations. |
| tPZL / tPHZ | 2.1 ns (min) to 6.6 ns (max) - Allows rapid bus arbitration and dynamic bus sharing with minimal contention window. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Provides robust handling margin during PCB assembly and field service without additional protection circuitry. |
| Latch-up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - Guarantees fault tolerance against transient current surges on I/O lines in noisy industrial environments. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for use in industrial control, networking infrastructure, and automotive under-hood auxiliary modules. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C reflow compatible).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable control | Independent gating per 4-bit section; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure high-impedance default state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting data inputs | Accept standard TTL/CMOS logic levels; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensures reliable interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive bidirectional buses or fan-out to multiple loads; high-impedance state isolates sections when OE is high. |
| VCC (Pin 10) | Power supply | Single 5-V rail powers both input and output stages; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 20) | Ground reference | Common return for all I/O and internal logic; low-inductance connection critical to minimize VOLP and maintain signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-drive outputs | 64-mA sink capability eliminates need for external bus drivers in dense PCB layouts with long traces or multiple receivers. |
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process | Reduces static power consumption versus standard bipolar TTL while retaining speed and noise immunity advantages. |
| Output ground bounce suppression | VOLP < 1 V at 5 V/25°C ensures stable logic thresholds even during simultaneous output switching events. |
| Robust ESD/latch-up protection | 2000-V HBM ESD rating and >500-mA latch-up immunity allow direct integration into unshielded industrial I/O modules. |
| Dual independent OE controls | Enables selective activation of either 4-bit group-ideal for split-bus architectures like address/data multiplexing or segmented memory expansion. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 24-mA drive, CMOS process, 3.3-V only. | Not suitable for 5-V legacy systems; requires level translation when interfacing with 5-V peripherals. | Select when migrating to 3.3-V designs with lower power budgets and no 5-V compatibility requirement. |
| SN74AHCT244PW | Same 5-V operation, TTL-compatible inputs, but lower drive (−8-mA/8-mA), slower (tPD ≈ 8 ns). | Insufficient for high-capacitance or high-speed buses; limited to low-frequency control signaling. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-speed applications where drive strength and speed are non-critical. |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and SN74AHCT244PW, the SN74ABT244APWR uniquely delivers 5-V compatibility, 64-mA drive, and sub-5-ns propagation delay-making it the only option among the three qualified for demanding industrial bus-buffering tasks without external support circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74ABT244APWR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SN74ABT244APWR is 7 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V per TI's datasheet SCBS099J. Operation outside this range may cause parametric shift or reliability degradation. The SN74ABT244APWR is not rated for 3.3-V operation and will not function correctly below 4.5 V.
Does SN74ABT244APWR support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No, SN74ABT244APWR does not support hot-swap. Its absolute maximum ratings specify that VCC must be applied before any input or output signals, and the device lacks built-in power sequencing or Ioff protection. Applying inputs before VCC risks latch-up or damage. For hot-swap applications, consider TI's TVS-protected or powered-off-isolation logic families instead of SN74ABT244APWR.
Can SN74ABT244APWR drive a 150-pF bus capacitance reliably?
Yes, SN74ABT244APWR can drive up to ~120 pF while maintaining tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns (CL = 50 pF specified); at 150 pF, propagation delay increases to ~7–8 ns and edge rate degrades, but functionality remains intact due to its 64-mA IOL. For guaranteed timing at 150 pF, verify with board-level simulation and measure VOLP/VOH margins-SN74ABT244APWR remains viable if timing slack permits.
What is the correct power-up sequence for SN74ABT244APWR?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (disabled) during power-up to prevent bus contention. Tie 1OE and 2OE to VCC through ≥10-kΩ pull-up resistors. Apply VCC before any A-input signals, and ensure GND is established first. This sequence guarantees all outputs start in high-impedance state-critical for safe initialization in multi-driver bus systems using SN74ABT244APWR.
Is SN74ABT244APWR pin-compatible with SN74ABT244ADBR or SN74ABT244ADWR?
Yes, SN74ABT244APWR shares identical pinout and logic function with SN74ABT244ADBR (SSOP-20) and SN74ABT244ADWR (SOIC-20), as confirmed by TI's packaging addendum and logic diagrams. All three use the same 20-pin assignment: dual OE, eight inputs, eight outputs, VCC, and GND in identical positions. Mechanical footprint differs, but schematic symbol and netlist mapping are interchangeable.
