Product details
Overview
SN74BCT757DW from Texas Instruments is an octal buffer/driver IC with open-collector outputs, designed for memory address bus driving and clock distribution in 3-state systems. It features complementary output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE), noninverting logic, BiCMOS process technology, and operates over 0°C to 70°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT757DW datasheet, SN74BCT757DW pinout, SN74BCT757DW application, or SN74BCT757DW equivalent, key selection factors include its 64 mA sink capability per output, 2.4 ns minimum tPHL propagation delay, open-collector interface compatibility with TTL/CMOS loads, and SOIC-20 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74BCT757DW implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent active-low and active-high output-enable controls (1OE and 2OE), enabling flexible bus arbitration and timing control. Its BiCMOS design reduces ICCZ quiescent current while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds and 5 V rail operation.
Each of the eight outputs is open-collector, allowing wired-AND logic, level translation up to 5.5 V, and direct connection to shared bus lines without contention. The device supports 50 pF capacitive loads with guaranteed tPLH/tPHL switching times under 10.1 ns and 6.9 ns respectively at VCC = 5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5 V TTL/CMOS rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Output Sink Current | 64 mA per channel - supports direct drive of multiple TTL inputs or termination resistors on parallel buses. |
| tPHL Propagation Delay | 2.4 ns min / 6.6 ns max - enables high-speed address buffering in fast memory subsystems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - meets MIL-STD-883C requirements for robust handling in manufacturing environments. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control applications. |
Pinout & Package
SN74BCT757DW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm width, and 2.65 mm max height. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner and located at top-left when viewed from top with notch up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Complementary output-enable controls: 1OE active-low, 2OE active-high - allows simultaneous or staggered enable/disable of two 4-bit groups. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A1–1A4 | Noninverting input channels for first 4-bit buffer group - accepts TTL/CMOS logic signals directly. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y4–2Y1 | Open-collector outputs for second 4-bit group - requires external pull-up for logic HIGH; sinks current when asserted. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting input channels for second 4-bit buffer group - fully independent from first group. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y1–1Y4 | Open-collector outputs for first 4-bit group - supports wired-AND bus structures and mixed-voltage interfacing. |
| 10, 20 | GND, VCC | Power terminals - decoupling capacitor placement near Pin 10 (GND) and Pin 20 (VCC) is critical for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS process technology | Reduces ICCZ quiescent supply current versus pure bipolar designs, improving system power efficiency during idle states. |
| Complementary OE inputs | Enables flexible bus control schemes - e.g., one group enabled while the other is tristated, supporting multiplexed address/data paths. |
| Open-collector outputs | Permits wired-AND logic, level-shifting to higher voltages (up to 5.5 V), and safe sharing of common bus lines without contention. |
| High sink current (64 mA) | Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external drivers, reducing component count in memory subsystems. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V logic families without level-shifting circuitry in mixed-signal designs. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address bus lines from microcontroller or CPU outputs to SRAM or EPROM chips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting octal buffer with open-collector outputs provides fanout expansion and bus isolation. Use Value: 64 mA sink capability per output ensures reliable low-level assertion across long traces and multiple device inputs. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-propagation-delay buffer minimizes skew across fanout branches in clock trees. Use Value: 2.4 ns minimum tPHL ensures sub-5 ns edge-to-edge skew across all eight outputs at 5 V. |
Use Scenario: Adding additional I/O ports or memory slots to retro-computing or industrial PLC backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-collector outputs interface directly with legacy TTL bus standards and termination schemes. Use Value: Compatibility with 300-mil DIP (N) and SOIC (DW) packages supports both through-hole and surface-mount board upgrades. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal open-collector buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS757N | Bipolar TTL process; higher ICCZ (100 mA typical), slower tPHL (15 ns min), no BiCMOS power advantage. | Limited to lower-speed legacy systems where power efficiency is secondary to availability. | Choose only if legacy board replacement requires identical AC/DC characteristics and BiCMOS is not required. |
| SN74ACT757DW | Advanced CMOS process; 5 V tolerant inputs, 24 mA sink, faster tPHL (2.1 ns min), but lower drive strength. | Suitable for modern low-power systems with lighter bus loads and stricter EMI requirements. | Select when lower power and improved noise immunity outweigh need for 64 mA sink capability. |
Compared with SN74LS757N and SN74ACT757DW, the SN74BCT757DW uniquely balances high sink current (64 mA), BiCMOS efficiency (10 mA ICCZ), and TTL-compatible timing - making it optimal for dense, high-drive memory address buffering where thermal and fanout constraints coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current per output of the SN74BCT757DW?
The SN74BCT757DW supports a guaranteed 64 mA low-level output current (IOL) per channel at VCC = 4.5 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V. This rating enables direct drive of multiple TTL inputs or termination resistors on shared bus lines without external amplification. The absolute maximum rating is 128 mA, but sustained operation above 64 mA is not characterized across temperature and voltage ranges.
Does the SN74BCT757DW require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the SN74BCT757DW has open-collector outputs and requires external pull-up resistors to establish a defined HIGH logic level. Pull-up values depend on bus capacitance and speed requirements; typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ to 5 V. Without pull-ups, outputs remain floating when not actively sinking current.
Can the SN74BCT757DW operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the SN74BCT757DW is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) may not be reliably met, and output drive strength degrades significantly. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's ACT or LVC series alternatives instead of the SN74BCT757DW.
What is the function of the complementary OE inputs (1OE and 2OE) on the SN74BCT757DW?
The SN74BCT757DW features two independent output-enable controls: 1OE is active-low and 2OE is active-high. This pairing allows flexible bus arbitration - for example, asserting 1OE low while holding 2OE high disables the first four outputs while enabling the second four. This eliminates need for inverters in dual-bank control schemes.
Is the SN74BCT757DW RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the SN74BCT757DW is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity requirements. Its SOIC (DW) package is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, and TI confirms full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU as documented in the official packaging addendum.
