Product details
Overview
SN74AS1034AN from Texas Instruments is a hex noninverting buffer IC designed for high-current digital signal driving in industrial control and legacy TTL-compatible systems. It delivers ±48 mA output drive, 6 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF), and operates across 0°C to 70°C. Used in bus buffering, line driving, and logic-level translation where capacitive loads exceed standard TTL capability.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS1034AN datasheet, SN74AS1034AN pinout, SN74AS1034AN application, or SN74AS1034AN equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated PDIP-14 package details, confirmed military-grade AS-series timing and drive performance, and two field-proven alternative parts with documented substitution guidance.
Technical Context
The SN74AS1034AN implements six independent totem-pole output buffers with no internal 3-state control-each performs Y = A logic. Its AS-family silicon enables higher sink/source current than ALS variants while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and 5 V nominal supply operation.
Designed for direct replacement of legacy 74S/74AS logic, it features robust DC parameters: VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 48 mA, VOH ≥ 2 V at IOH = −48 mA, and ICC ≤ 35 mA under full-load switching conditions. Not recommended above 40 MHz due to AC loading constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Six independent noninverting buffers (Y = A) |
| Output Drive | ±48 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) without external amplification |
| Propagation Delay | 6 ns max (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - supports sub-40 MHz clock distribution |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with regulated 5 V rails; absolute max 7 V |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating for industrial and instrumentation applications |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V - ensures reliable interfacing with standard TTL and LSTTL outputs |
| DC Output Voltage | VOH ≥ 2 V @ −48 mA, VOL ≤ 0.5 V @ +48 mA - maintains noise margin under full load |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS1034AN uses a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), 300-mil width, with 0.1-inch lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; device sits in standard DIP socket or PCB footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A | Input | Independent TTL-compatible logic inputs for each buffer channel |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y | Output | High-drive totem-pole outputs; each sources/sinks up to ±48 mA |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V power supply connection; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-output current drive | ±48 mA per channel enables direct driving of unterminated transmission lines or multiple gate inputs |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V / VIH = 2 V ensures interoperability with legacy 74LS/74S logic families without level shifters |
| Low propagation delay | 6 ns max guarantees tight timing margins in synchronous bus interfaces and clock fanout networks |
| Robust DC output voltage specs | VOH ≥ 2 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at full rated current preserve noise immunity in noisy industrial environments |
| Commercial temperature range | 0°C to 70°C rating matches requirements for factory automation, test equipment, and embedded controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS240N | Inverting octal buffer with 3-state control; higher drive (±48 mA) but different logic function and pinout | Requires logic inversion and external enable management; suited for bidirectional bus applications | Select only if 3-state capability and octal count are required; not a functional or pinout match for SN74AS1034AN |
| SN74ALS1034N | Lower drive (±24 mA), slower propagation (8 ns max), same pinout and logic function | Acceptable where load capacitance <50 pF and timing budget allows extra 2 ns delay | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with relaxed drive/timing needs; shares identical footprint and basic interface behavior |
Compared with SN74AS1034AN, SN74ALS1034N offers identical form and function at reduced drive and speed-ideal for legacy upgrades with conservative loading. SN74AS240N provides greater channel count and 3-state flexibility but requires board-level logic and routing changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74AS1034AN can reliably drive?
The SN74AS1034AN is characterized for CL = 50 pF in its switching specifications, but its ±48 mA output drive supports heavier loads-verified operation up to 100–150 pF with acceptable rise/fall times in real-world industrial layouts. For loads exceeding 100 pF, verify edge rates and ground bounce in your specific PCB stack-up; SN74AS1034AN remains effective where active termination or distributed buffering is impractical.
Does the SN74AS1034AN support 3-state (high-impedance) outputs?
No, the SN74AS1034AN does not include 3-state capability. It features six dedicated totem-pole outputs with no output-enable control pins. If bus-sharing or bidirectional operation is required, consider alternatives like SN74AS240N or SN74AS244N. The SN74AS1034AN is strictly a noninverting buffer with always-active outputs.
Can SN74AS1034AN operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, SN74AS1034AN is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output voltage levels (VOH/VOL) are optimized for 5 V TTL compatibility. Applying 3.3 V violates recommended operating conditions and risks unreliable switching or excessive ICC; use 74LVC or 74ALVC series for 3.3 V systems.
Is SN74AS1034AN RoHS compliant?
Yes, SN74AS1034AN is RoHS compliant, with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and exemption status confirmed in TI's official packaging documentation. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and carries appropriate marking on the package body per TI's production records.
How does SN74AS1034AN differ from SN74ALS1034N in practical design use?
SN74AS1034AN delivers double the output current (±48 mA vs. ±24 mA) and faster propagation (6 ns vs. 8 ns max), making it essential for driving high-capacitance buses or meeting tight timing budgets. Both share identical pinout, logic function, and PDIP-14 packaging-so SN74AS1034AN can be used as a performance upgrade where board space and thermal dissipation allow.
