Product details

Package and footprint

The SN74ACT244DB: 20-pin SSOP body, 5.30 mm wide. The 0.209-inch width fits the common SSOP-20 land pattern; verify your PCB footprint against the mechanical drawing if you're replacing a different 20-pin package. Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant in this order code.

Temperature grade and where it runs

Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, which covers industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom pedestals, and factory-floor I/O racks. Not qualified to AEC-Q100, so skip it for under-hood automotive or other extended-temperature environments without your own qualification data.

Lifecycle and sourcing note

TI lists the SN74ACT244DB as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice on record, so it's still a valid BOM line for new builds.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SN74ACT244DB and SN74ACT244DWR?

Both are the same 74ACT244 buffer in a 20-pin SSOP. The DB suffix indicates a tube or bulk shipment; the DWR suffix is Tape & Reel. Electrical specs are identical.

What is an equivalent to SN74ACT244DB?

A direct functional equivalent is the SN74ABT2245DW — same 5 V supply, 3-state outputs, but it's a transceiver (bidirectional) rather than a buffer, and it comes in a 20-SOIC package. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
