Product details
Overview
SN74AS1034AD from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer IC designed for high-capacitive-load driving in TTL-compatible digital systems. It delivers ±48 mA output drive, 6 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and operates across 0°C to 70°C with 4.5–5.5 V supply. Used in bus buffering, line driving, and logic-level translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS1034AD datasheet, SN74AS1034AD pinout, SN74AS1034AD application, or SN74AS1034AD equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-14 package mapping, confirmed DC/AC electrical specs, and two validated alternative parts for legacy system support and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The SN74AS1034AD implements six independent totem-pole output buffers performing Y = A logic with no internal 3-state control. Its AS-family silicon enables higher sink/source current than ALS variants while maintaining TTL input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and compatible voltage levels (VOH ≥ 2 V at IOL = 48 mA, VOL ≤ 0.5 V).
Designed for capacitive-load resilience, it sustains stable operation into >50 pF loads at up to 40 MHz-though not recommended above that frequency per TI's guidance. Propagation delay is tightly specified (1–6 ns min–max) under 50 pF/500 Ω test conditions, confirming suitability for timing-critical signal fanout.

Applications
| Industrial Backplane Buffering | Legacy Microprocessor Bus Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving address/data lines across 20 cm of 50 Ω PCB trace in a modular PLC rack with 12-slot backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer replicating CPU signals to multiple I/O modules while maintaining edge integrity and noise margin. Use Value: ±48 mA drive ensures full logic swing into 50 pF + 100 Ω load; 6 ns delay preserves setup/hold timing across slots. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing Z80 or 8085 CPU data bus to peripheral ASICs requiring higher current than onboard drivers provide. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fanout amplifier between microprocessor D0–D7 and multi-chip peripheral subsystems. Use Value: TTL-compatible thresholds accept native CPU outputs; low skew enables synchronous 4 MHz bus cycles. |
| Test Equipment Signal Fanout | Automated Test Fixture Interface |
Use Scenario: Distributing pattern generator clock and strobe signals to 8 DUT sites on a bed-of-nails tester. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clock and control signal repeater ensuring simultaneous edge delivery across all channels. Use Value: 1 ns min delay and tight 5 ns max variation prevent channel-to-channel timing skew beyond ±0.5 ns. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and strengthening GPIB (IEEE-488) handshaking lines (DAV, NRFD, NDAC) in production test fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust line driver compensating for cable capacitance and contact resistance degradation over 10,000+ cycles. Use Value: High current drive maintains >0.8 V noise margin even after 5000 mating cycles; SOIC package enables compact fixture layout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS1034ADR | Same die, active SOIC-14 tape-and-reel variant; identical electrical specs and timing | Direct replacement with guaranteed availability and RoHS compliance (NIPDAU finish, MSL-1) | Select when new production requires qualified, in-stock supply with full traceability and reflow compatibility |
| SN74ALS1034DR | Lower drive (±24 mA), slower delay (1–8 ns), same pinout and logic function | Acceptable where fanout ≤ 5 TTL loads or CL ≤ 30 pF; lower power (ICCL = 8–14 mA vs. 21–35 mA) | Choose for cost-sensitive or lower-speed legacy upgrades where SN74AS1034AD's drive headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AS1034ADR, the SN74AS1034AD shares identical functionality but is obsolete-making the ADR version the preferred path for new designs. Against SN74ALS1034DR, the AS variant trades higher ICC for critical drive strength and speed, justifying its use in high-noise, high-capacitance environments.

FAQ
What is the exact logic function and channel count of the SN74AS1034AD?
The SN74AS1034AD contains six independent noninverting buffer circuits, each implementing the Boolean function Y = A. There is no 3-state control or enable logic-every input directly controls its corresponding output. All six channels operate simultaneously with identical electrical characteristics, as confirmed in the SDAS053B datasheet function table and logic diagram.
Is SN74AS1034AD pin-compatible with SN74ALS1034DR or other 74xx1034 variants?
Yes, SN74AS1034AD is pin-compatible with SN74ALS1034DR, SN74ALS1034N, and SN74AS1034AN-all share identical 14-pin DIP/SOIC pinouts (1A–6A, 1Y–6Y, GND, VCC). The pin numbering and terminal roles match exactly across these variants, enabling direct PCB substitution where electrical requirements permit.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SN74AS1034AD?
The absolute maximum ratings for SN74AS1034AD are: supply voltage (VCC) up to 7 V, input voltage (VI) up to 7 V, and operating free-air temperature from 0°C to 70°C. Storage temperature range is −65°C to 150°C. Exceeding any absolute maximum rating may cause permanent device damage, per SDAS053B Section 3.
Does SN74AS1034AD support 3-state or tri-state output operation?
No, SN74AS1034AD does not support 3-state operation. It features only totem-pole outputs with no output-enable (OE) pin or internal 3-state logic. Each buffer output is always driven high or low based solely on its input state-confirmed by the absence of OE terminals in the pinout diagram and function table of the SN74AS1034AD datasheet.
What is the recommended operating condition for output loading on SN74AS1034AD?
TI specifies SN74AS1034AD switching characteristics at CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω, with propagation delay tested under those conditions. While the device can drive heavier loads, sustained operation into >50 pF may increase delay and reduce noise margin. For reliable 40 MHz operation, keep total load ≤50 pF per output, as noted in the "recommended operating conditions" footnote of SDAS053B.
