Product details
Overview
74AC11244PWR from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/driver IC designed for memory address and bus driving applications. It features two independent 4-bit sections, each with active-low output-enable (OE) control, ±24 mA output drive at 5 V, 7.3 ns max propagation delay (VCC = 5 V), and operation across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11244PWR datasheet, 74AC11244PWR pinout, 74AC11244PWR application, or 74AC11244PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus-driving capability, dual 4-bit enable control, TSSOP-24 package compatibility, and AC-family logic performance with TTL-compatible inputs.
Technical Context
The 74AC11244PWR implements a flow-through pin architecture-inputs on one side, outputs on the opposite-to minimize PCB trace crossovers and signal skew. Its EPIC™ 1-µm CMOS process delivers high noise immunity (500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C) and low dynamic power dissipation (27 pF typical power-dissipation capacitance per buffer).
Each of the eight drivers operates independently under dedicated OE controls (1OE for Y1–Y4, 2OE for Y9–Y12); outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high. The center-pin VCC/GND configuration reduces simultaneous switching noise in high-speed bus environments.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced CMOS (AC), TTL-compatible input thresholds |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing |

| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤7.3 ns at VCC = 5 V - enables reliable operation in >100 MHz bus systems |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH ≤8.5 ns, tPHZ ≤7.3 ns - ensures clean bus turnaround without contention |
| Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 4 pF, Co = 10 pF - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and downstream traces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT125PWR | Quad buffer (4 channels), not octal; identical AC logic family, same TSSOP-14 package | Requires two devices to match 74AC11244PWR's 8-channel capacity; higher board area and routing complexity | Select only if system requires independent per-channel OE control (each ACT125 buffer has its own OE) |
| 74LVC244APWRE4 | Lower voltage (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD = 4.2 ns @ 3.3 V), but reduced drive (±24 mA @ 3.3 V only) | Not suitable for 5-V bus systems; requires level translation when interfacing with 5-V peripherals | Prefer for new 3.3-V designs where lower power and faster timing outweigh 5-V compatibility needs |
Compared with SN74ACT125PWR and 74LVC244APWRE4, the 74AC11244PWR uniquely delivers 8-channel 3-state buffering in a single TSSOP-24 package with full 5-V tolerance, making it optimal for legacy industrial and memory interface designs requiring minimal footprint and proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the 74AC11244PWR?
The 74AC11244PWR supports a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V, with absolute maximum rating of 7 V. Operation above 5.5 V is not recommended and may cause permanent damage. At 5.5 V, electrical characteristics such as VOH (≥3.85 V) and VOL (≤0.44 V) remain within specification, ensuring reliable interfacing with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS systems.
Does the 74AC11244PWR require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes - to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, both 1OE and 2OE should be tied to VCC through pull-up resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends ≥10 kΩ for typical microcontroller GPIO control, balancing noise immunity and rise time.
Can the 74AC11244PWR drive a 50-Ω transmission line directly?
Yes - the 74AC11244PWR delivers ±24 mA output current at 5 V, sufficient to drive a 50-Ω line terminated at VCC/2 (requiring ~10 mA). For unterminated lines or longer traces, series termination near the driver output is recommended to suppress reflections, leveraging the device's 7.3 ns propagation delay and low output capacitance (10 pF).
Is the 74AC11244PWR pin-compatible with other octal buffers in TSSOP-24 packages?
No - while the 74AC11244PWR uses the standard TSSOP-24 (PW) footprint, its pinout is specific to the AC11244 function: dual 4-bit sections with separate OE inputs and flow-through I/O arrangement. Devices like 74AC541PWR have different input/output groupings and OE placement, requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74AC11244PWR in its TSSOP-24 package?
The 74AC11244PWR in TSSOP-24 (PW) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions. This value assumes standard 2-layer PCB layout with no thermal vias; adding copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) can reduce effective θJA by up to 30% in production designs.
