Product details
Overview
SNJ54ABT240W from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for high-density bus interfacing in aerospace and defense systems. It operates across –55°C to 125°C, delivers ±32-mA high-drive output capability, features Ioff partial-power-down support, and provides low ground bounce (<1 V) at 5 V supply. It serves as a critical signal conditioning component in MIL-STD-1553 bus receivers and avionics backplane drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ABT240W datasheet, SNJ54ABT240W pinout, SNJ54ABT240W application, or SNJ54ABT240W equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFP-20 package thermal performance (θJA = N/A per MIL spec), guaranteed latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and compatibility with legacy TTL/CMOS logic families in harsh-environment embedded control systems.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ABT240W implements two independent 4-bit inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Its architecture supports true 3-state output control with symmetrical OE logic and inverted A→Y data path, enabling bidirectional bus arbitration without external logic.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during power sequencing-critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down operation. Absolute maximum ratings include 7-V supply tolerance and –0.5-V to 5.5-V output voltage range in high-impedance state, ensuring robustness against transient overvoltage events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V military power rails and tolerance to supply droop. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - enables direct drive of heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.3 ns @ 5 V - supports high-speed address/data buffering in real-time avionics timing paths. |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA max @ VCC = 0 - guarantees safe isolation during system power-down sequences per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range deployment in engine-mounted or space-constrained military platforms. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM / 200-V MM - exceeds MIL-STD-883 Class 3001 requirements for handling and board assembly robustness. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JESD17 - eliminates risk of destructive latch-up under single-event transients in radiation-prone environments. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54ABT240W uses a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package with gull-wing leads, 1.27-mm pitch, and 26.16-mm body width. The package is hermetically sealed and rated for high-reliability military applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit section; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure defined high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Inverting input | Eight buffered inputs accepting TTL/CMOS logic levels; inverted data passed to corresponding Y outputs when OE is low. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Inverting 3-state output | Eight high-drive outputs with rail-to-rail swing; enter high-impedance state when respective OE is high. |
| VCC (Pin 10) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply connection; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable switching performance. |
| GND (Pin 11) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | –32 mA source / 64 mA sink capability enables direct interface to unterminated transmission lines and legacy bus stubs. |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down | Prevents damaging reverse current flow when VCC is off, supporting safe hot-swap and phased power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP <1 V at 5 V/25°C ensures signal integrity on shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Compliance | Qualified to Class V (space-level) screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing for mission-critical use. |
| Symmetrical OE Inputs | Dedicated 1OE and 2OE pins allow independent gating of each 4-bit channel, simplifying bus arbitration logic in dual-bus architectures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ABT240J | CDIP-20 package; higher θJA (~69°C/W); same electrical specs and temp range. | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where CFP soldering is impractical. | Select SNJ54ABT240J when manual assembly, thermal testing, or socket-based validation is required. |
| SNJ54ABT240FK | LCCC-20 package; leadless ceramic construction; lower profile (2.03 mm); identical DC/AC specs. | Preferred for SWaP-constrained applications such as missile guidance electronics or UAV flight controllers. | Choose SNJ54ABT240FK when board height is limited and reflow-compatible land patterns are available. |
Compared with SNJ54ABT240J and SNJ54ABT240FK, the SNJ54ABT240W offers superior thermal dissipation in surface-mount configurations due to its CFP metal lid and gull-wing leadform, making it optimal for conduction-cooled chassis designs where airflow is restricted.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SNJ54ABT240W?
The SNJ54ABT240W is specified for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements for space and high-reliability defense applications. This range is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including propagation delay, drive strength, and Ioff leakage, ensuring consistent performance in extreme environmental conditions where the SNJ54ABT240W is deployed.
Does SNJ54ABT240W support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, SNJ54ABT240W includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±100 µA. This feature allows safe insertion and removal in live backplanes and supports phased power sequencing in multi-voltage systems-key for reliable operation in platforms where the SNJ54ABT240W interfaces with independently powered subsystems.
What package type is used for SNJ54ABT240W?
SNJ54ABT240W uses a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package with gull-wing leads, 1.27-mm pitch, and hermetic ceramic construction. This package is MIL-STD-883 qualified and optimized for high-reliability surface-mount assembly in aerospace and defense electronics where moisture resistance and thermal stability are critical for long-term SNJ54ABT240W field operation.
How does SNJ54ABT240W differ from commercial SN74ABT240A variants?
SNJ54ABT240W differs from SN74ABT240A in three key ways: it is screened to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V (vs. commercial grade), operates from –55°C to +125°C (vs. –40°C to +85°C), and uses a CFP package (vs. SOIC/SSOP/TSSOP). Electrical specs are otherwise identical, but only SNJ54ABT240W guarantees performance and reliability under military environmental stress profiles applicable to the SNJ54ABT240W's target use cases.
What is the maximum output current rating for SNJ54ABT240W?
The SNJ54ABT240W supports –32 mA high-level output current (IOH) and 64 mA low-level output current (IOL) per pin, measured at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C. These values are fully characterized across the full temperature range and form the basis for SNJ54ABT240W's ability to drive heavy capacitive loads and unterminated transmission lines in demanding military communication systems.
