Product details
Overview
SN74BCT760DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal buffer/driver IC with open-collector outputs, organized as two independent 4-bit channels, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) control. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers up to 64 mA sink current per output, and supports bus driving and memory address buffering in industrial logic systems. Its SOIC-20 package enables high-density PCB layouts.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT760DWR datasheet, SN74BCT760DWR pinout, SN74BCT760DWR application, or SN74BCT760DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include open-collector drive capability, 0°C to 70°C temperature range, 20-pin SOIC packaging, propagation delay under 10 ns, and compatibility with TTL-level inputs and 5-V bus systems.
Technical Context
The SN74BCT760DWR implements dual 4-bit non-inverting buffers with separate OE controls per group, enabling independent enable/disable of each 4-bit channel. Each output is open-collector, requiring external pull-up for logic-high assertion and supporting wired-AND bus configurations.
It uses bipolar BCT (Bipolar CMOS-TTL) technology for TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and fast switching (tPHL down to 2.1 ns, tPLH up to 10 ns at 5 V), with guaranteed operation across 4.5–5.5 V supply and 0°C to 70°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage logic systems. |
| Output Sink Current | 64 mA per output - supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads or termination of 50-Ω transmission lines. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.1–10 ns (A→Y), 3.2–9.9 ns (OE→Y) - enables high-speed address/data buffering in memory and bus interfaces. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - guarantees robust noise margin and interoperability with legacy TTL and LVTTL sources. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883C Method 3015, enhancing reliability in handling and assembly environments. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable inputs (active-low) | Independently disable each 4-bit buffer group; high = high-Z output state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Eight TTL-compatible inputs grouped into two 4-bit channels feeding respective outputs. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Open-collector outputs | Sink-only outputs requiring external pull-up; support wired-AND, bus arbitration, and level translation. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply connection; decoupling recommended near pin for noise immunity. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; critical for signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 2.1 ns minimum tPHL | Supports >100 MHz clock-domain interfacing in high-speed address latching and data staging circuits. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Ensures seamless integration with legacy 74-series, microcontroller GPIOs, and FPGA I/O banks configured for 5-V TTL. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Parallel Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a microprocessor to multiple SRAM or EPROM chips on a shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal buffer isolating and strengthening address signals while enabling chip-select gating via OE control. Use Value: Prevents address skew and loading-induced timing violations; dual OE allows interleaved memory bank access. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a microcontroller's parallel data port to an LCD controller or printer interface with bidirectional handshake signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional driver for data/control lines, leveraging open-collector outputs for wired-AND ready/busy signaling. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete pull-ups on control lines; 64 mA sink supports fast edge rates on capacitive bus traces. |
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Legacy System Logic Translation |
Use Scenario: Expanding PLC digital output capacity by buffering microcontroller GPIOs to drive relays, solenoids, or optocouplers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current buffer translating low-drive MCU outputs into robust industrial-level signals. Use Value: 64 mA per output sustains relay coil hold current; ESD protection reduces field failure in electrically noisy plants. | Use Scenario: Integrating modern microcontrollers with vintage TTL-based test equipment or instrumentation backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level- and drive-capability translator between 3.3-V/5-V MCU I/O and legacy 5-V TTL logic families. Use Value: TTL-compatible thresholds and 5-V tolerant inputs eliminate level-shifter components; SOIC-20 fits retrofits without board redesign. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS244N | Lower sink current (24 mA), no dual OE, standard TTL (not BCT) process, slower propagation (15–25 ns). | Not suitable for high-speed or high-drive bus applications; limited to low-frequency address/data buffering. | Select only when drive strength and speed requirements are relaxed and cost is primary constraint. |
| SN74ACT244PW | CMOS-based, 24 mA sink, 3-state (not open-collector), 4.5–5.5 V, faster (tPD ≈ 3.5 ns), but lacks wired-AND capability. | Cannot implement wired-AND or bus arbitration; requires explicit direction control instead of passive pull-up logic. | Choose when 3-state isolation suffices and open-collector functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LS244N and SN74ACT244PW, the SN74BCT760DWR uniquely combines dual OE control, 64 mA sink, open-collector architecture, and sub-10 ns timing-making it the only option among the three that supports both high-drive bus termination and hardware-level bus arbitration.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for SN74BCT760DWR?
The SN74BCT760DWR is rated for 64 mA sink current per output at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25°C, with typical VOL = 0.42 V. This value is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table of the SCBS034B datasheet and applies across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range. Exceeding this current may cause excessive voltage drop or thermal stress.
Does SN74BCT760DWR support 3.3-V logic inputs?
No, SN74BCT760DWR does not guarantee reliable operation with 3.3-V logic inputs. Its input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and the absolute maximum input voltage is 7 V-but the device is designed for 5-V system interfacing. Applying 3.3-V high-level signals risks marginal VIH margin and should be avoided unless verified with external level translation.
What is the pin 1 location and orientation for SN74BCT760DWR in tape-and-reel packaging?
For SN74BCT760DWR in SOIC-20 (DW) packaging, pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1 of the carrier tape, as specified in TI's Package Materials Information document. The device is oriented with the notch or index mark toward the sprocket holes side, and the tape feed direction aligns with standard SOIC placement for pick-and-place machines.
Can SN74BCT760DWR replace SN74BCT244 in existing designs?
Yes, SN74BCT760DWR is explicitly described as the open-collector version of ′BCT244 and shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior for buffered output stages. However, SN74BCT760DWR provides dual independent OE inputs versus single OE in ′BCT244-offering enhanced channel control flexibility without requiring PCB changes if OE routing permits.
Is SN74BCT760DWR RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, SN74BCT760DWR is RoHS compliant (lead-free NiPdAu finish) and carries an MSL rating of Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require baking prior to soldering. This is confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum, where SN74BCT760DWR is listed with "Yes" under RoHS and "Level-1-260C-UNLIM" under MSL rating.
