Product details
Overview
SNJ54BCT2240J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal noninverting buffer/line driver with dual 4-bit sections, 3-state outputs, and BiCMOS architecture operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It features integrated 33-Ω series output resistors, ±12 mA drive capability, and −55°C to +125°C operation-designed for memory address buffering and bus driving in radiation-tolerant avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54BCT2240J datasheet, SNJ54BCT2240J pinout, SNJ54BCT2240J application, or SNJ54BCT2240J equivalent, key selection criteria include its CDIP-20 hermetic package, dual independent OE controls, guaranteed high-impedance state during power sequencing, and compatibility with TTL-level input thresholds in harsh-environment digital backplanes.
Technical Context
The SNJ54BCT2240J implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections (1A→1Y and 2A→2Y), each controlled by its own active-low output-enable (1OE, 2OE). Its BiCMOS design reduces ICCZ quiescent current to 6–8 mA while maintaining TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V/0.8 V) and fast propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns at 5 V).
Each Y output integrates a 33-Ω series resistor to suppress transmission-line overshoot/undershoot without external components. The device supports hot-swap-safe 3-state control: tying OE to VCC via pullup ensures high-impedance on power-up, and outputs sink/source up to 12 mA while tolerating −0.5 V to 5.5 V disabled-state voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across MIL-STD-704 aircraft power rails and wide-temperature DC supplies. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA - Sufficient to directly drive 50-Ω transmission lines or TTL-loaded buses without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.3 ns @ 5 V - Enables reliable timing in 100+ MHz address/data strobe paths. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 9.3 ns @ 5 V - Supports rapid bus arbitration and multiplexing in real-time control subsystems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Fully compatible with standard TTL logic families without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended-life deployment in engine bays and space-qualified enclosures. |
| Package | CDIP-20 (J package) - Hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package with lead finish SNPB for solderability and long-term reliability. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54BCT2240J uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed with tin-lead (SNPB) leads, rated for −55°C to +125°C operation and compliant with MIL-STD-883 test methods.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low output enable for Section 1 (1A1–1A4 → 1Y1–1Y4) | Drives all four Y outputs into high-Z when high; requires pullup to VCC for power-up safety. |
| 1A1–1A4 | Noninverting inputs for Section 1 | Accept TTL-compatible signals; no external termination needed due to internal 33-Ω series resistance on outputs. |
| 1Y1–1Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs for Section 1 | Each includes integrated 33-Ω series resistor to dampen ringing on PCB traces up to 15 cm. |
| 2OE | Active-low output enable for Section 2 (2A1–2A4 → 2Y1–2Y4) | Independent control enables interleaved bus access or fault-isolated channel operation. |
| 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting inputs for Section 2 | Electrically isolated from Section 1 inputs; supports dual-bus or redundant path architectures. |
| 2Y1–2Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs for Section 2 | Matched delay and drive strength to Section 1 outputs for synchronous multi-channel timing. |
| VCC (Pin 10) | Positive supply | Must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to maintain noise margin under switching transients. |
| GND (Pin 20) | Ground reference | Shared return for both sections; layout must minimize ground bounce between output groups. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS process technology | Reduces ICCZ quiescent current to 6–8 mA-critical for low-power standby modes in battery-backed avionics. |
| Integrated 33-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for 8 external surface-mount resistors, saving PCB area and assembly cost in high-reliability modules. |
| Dual independent 3-state controls (1OE, 2OE) | Enables selective channel isolation-e.g., disable one section during memory refresh while keeping I/O active. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V / VIL = 0.8 V ensures interoperability with legacy 74LS, 74ALS, and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Includes 100% screening, burn-in, and parametric testing-required for flight-critical hardware in DoD platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ACT240J | AC-family CMOS; lower ICCZ (2 µA), but only ±24 mA drive and no integrated series resistors. | Preferred for ultra-low-power standby, but requires external termination and fails MIL-STD-704 transient immunity tests above 100 kHz. | Select when static power dominates budget and board space allows discrete 33-Ω resistors per output. |
| SNJ54LS240J | LS-TTL process; higher ICC (40 mA), slower tPLH (15 ns), no built-in series resistors. | Suitable for legacy system upgrades where AC/BiCMOS speed is unnecessary and existing PCB layout cannot accommodate new termination. | Choose only for drop-in replacement in pre-1995 designs where BiCMOS advantages are not required. |
Compared with SNJ54ACT240J and SNJ54LS240J, the SNJ54BCT2240J uniquely balances low ICCZ, integrated signal integrity features, and MIL-qualified ruggedness-making it the sole option for new designs requiring simultaneous high-speed, low-noise, and high-reliability bus interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SNJ54BCT2240J?
The SNJ54BCT2240J is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, including temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing across this full range. This makes the SNJ54BCT2240J suitable for engine-mounted avionics, missile guidance electronics, and satellite payload systems exposed to extreme thermal environments.
Does the SNJ54BCT2240J require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes-the SNJ54BCT2240J requires pull-up resistors on both 1OE and 2OE pins to VCC to guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up and power-down sequences. TI specifies minimum resistor values based on the current-sinking capability of the driver; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This ensures the SNJ54BCT2240J remains safely isolated until firmware asserts valid enable states.
Can the SNJ54BCT2240J drive 50-Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes-the SNJ54BCT2240J integrates 33-Ω series resistors on all eight Y outputs, enabling direct connection to 50-Ω PCB traces up to 15 cm in length without external termination. This feature eliminates eight discrete resistors per device and reduces signal reflections that cause timing jitter or EMI in high-speed digital backplanes using the SNJ54BCT2240J.
Is the SNJ54BCT2240J pin-compatible with the commercial SN74BCT2240N?
No-the SNJ54BCT2240J uses a 20-pin CDIP (J) package with hermetic ceramic construction and SNPB leads, while the SN74BCT2240N uses a 20-pin PDIP (N) plastic package with matte tin finish. Although both share identical pin functions and logic behavior, their mechanical dimensions, thermal profiles, and reliability screening differ fundamentally; PCB layout and reflow profiles are not interchangeable.
What is the purpose of the integrated 33-Ω series resistors in the SNJ54BCT2240J?
The integrated 33-Ω series resistors in the SNJ54BCT2240J dampen signal-edge overshoot and undershoot on PCB traces, reducing radiated emissions and improving signal integrity in high-speed digital interfaces. These resistors eliminate the need for eight external 0402/0603 resistors per SNJ54BCT2240J, simplifying layout, lowering BOM cost, and enhancing reliability in vibration-prone military platforms where solder joint fatigue is a concern.
