Product details
Overview
SNJ54ABT240J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for high-density memory address and bus-oriented applications. It operates over –55°C to 125°C, delivers ±32-mA/±64-mA drive strength, supports partial-power-down via Ioff, and features low ground bounce (<1 V). It is used in avionics data buses and radiation-tolerant control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ABT240J datasheet, SNJ54ABT240J pinout, SNJ54ABT240J application, or SNJ54ABT240J equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, JEDEC-compliant thermal and ESD performance data, MIL-PRF-38535 qualification status, and validated alternative options for high-reliability system design.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ABT240J implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and symmetrical drive ensure robust interfacing with legacy 5-V logic families.
It integrates Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V. Latch-up immunity exceeds 500 mA per JESD17, and ESD protection meets 2000-V HBM and 200-V MM per JESD22.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with regulated 5-V military power rails |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and long traces without signal degradation |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.3 ns @ 5 V - enables high-speed address/data buffering in real-time control loops |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA @ VCC = 0 - prevents damaging current flow during hot-swap or staged power sequencing |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range aerospace and defense platforms |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - withstands handling and field-level electrostatic events |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - maintains functional integrity under transient fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54ABT240J uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed for high-reliability operation in harsh environments. Package height ≤ 4.95 mm, body width 7.62 mm, lead pitch 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Controls 4-bit output group; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure high-Z state |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Inverting data inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS-compatible logic; inverted data passed to corresponding Y outputs when OE is low |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Inverting 3-state outputs | Drive external bus lines; enter high-impedance state when OE is high |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Require local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling; GND pin (10) is center-mounted for optimal noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | –32 mA source / +64 mA sink capability enables direct interface with unterminated transmission lines |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down | Prevents backflow current when VCC = 0, supporting safe hot-insertion in modular avionics chassis |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Compliance | Fully tested per Class B requirements including screening, burn-in, and lot acceptance testing |
| Low Ground Bounce | <1 V VOLP at 5 V/25°C - minimizes switching noise coupling into analog subsystems |
| JEDEC Standard ESD/Latch-Up | Exceeds JESD22-A114 (2000-V HBM) and JESD17 (500-mA latch-up), certified for flight-critical use |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SNJ54ABT240J?
The SNJ54ABT240J is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B environmental requirements. This range is validated through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing across extremes - making SNJ54ABT240J suitable for stratospheric UAVs, satellite payloads, and desert-deployed ground systems where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial-grade limits.
Does the SNJ54ABT240J support partial-power-down functionality?
Yes, the SNJ54ABT240J incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±100 µA. This feature allows safe insertion into live backplanes and supports staged power sequencing in multi-rail avionics systems - a critical capability confirmed in TI's SCBS098I datasheet Section 4 and validated per MIL-STD-883 Method 3001.
What is the maximum output current rating for SNJ54ABT240J?
The SNJ54ABT240J delivers –32 mA source current (IOH) and +64 mA sink current (IOL) at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C. These values are guaranteed minimums per the datasheet's "Recommended Operating Conditions" table and apply to individual outputs under specified load and voltage conditions - enabling direct drive of multiple TTL inputs or moderate-length PCB traces without external buffers.
Is SNJ54ABT240J pin-compatible with SN74ABT240A variants?
No - while SNJ54ABT240J shares identical logic function and pin numbering with commercial SN74ABT240A devices, its CDIP-J package has different mechanical dimensions, lead finish (SNPB), and thermal characteristics. Electrical pinout matches, but PCB footprints are not interchangeable due to larger pad pitch and absence of RoHS-compliant plating on SNJ54ABT240J.
What packaging and marking information applies to SNJ54ABT240J?
SNJ54ABT240J is supplied in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), tube-packed with 20 units per tube. The top-side marking is "SNJ54ABT240J", and it carries MIL-STD-130 UID-compliant traceability per TI's Package Option Addendum. Lead finish is 100% tin-lead (SNPB), non-RoHS compliant, and MSL rating is N/A per JEDEC standards due to hermetic sealing.
