Product details
Overview
74AC16244DGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP-48 package, operating from 3 V to 5.5 V, with ±24 mA output drive, 7.1 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V), and 12 pF output capacitance - used for memory address buffering and high-density bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC16244DGGRG4 datasheet, 74AC16244DGGRG4 pinout, 74AC16244DGGRG4 application, or 74AC16244DGGRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZL = 14.6 ns max at 5 V), latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), distributed VCC/GND layout support, and EPIC CMOS process compatibility with legacy 74AC logic families.
Technical Context
The 74AC16244DGGRG4 implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state output-enable (OE) control. Its flow-through pinout minimizes trace crossovers on PCBs, while distributed VCC and GND pins reduce simultaneous switching noise in high-speed address/data buses.
It uses Texas Instruments' EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process, enabling rail-to-rail output swing, low input capacitance (4.5 pF), and stable operation across –40°C to +85°C. All inputs tolerate voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V, supporting mixed-voltage interface scenarios when driven by 5-V logic into 3.3-V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports dual-rail system integration without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads at >10 MHz without signal degradation |
| Propagation Delay | 7.1 ns typ (A→Y, VCC = 3.3 V) - enables sub-100-MHz bus clocking in address latching |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZL = 14.6 ns max (OE→Y, VCC = 5 V) - ensures clean bus release before next cycle |
| Input Capacitance | 4.5 pF - reduces loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
| Output Capacitance | 12 pF - matches standard PCB trace impedance models for controlled-impedance routing |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA at 125°C - meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements for industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, lead-free NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow), RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit section - enables partial bus gating without full device disable |
| 1A1–4A4 | Noninverting data inputs | Four groups of 4 inputs aligned to match flow-through PCB layout for minimal layer transitions |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | True buffered outputs | High-drive, 3-state outputs with symmetrical rise/fall times - suitable for bidirectional bus arbitration |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed power pins reduce IR drop and ground bounce across 16-bit width |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths - critical for EMI suppression at >20 MHz switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides - eliminates layer jumps and vias in dense 16-bit bus routing |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and eight GND pins - lowers simultaneous switching noise by >6 dB vs. single-supply SOIC equivalents |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-µm geometry with implanted wells - achieves 500-mA latch-up immunity and <1 µA ICC at 5.5 V |
| Wide voltage operation | 3 V to 5.5 V supply range - interoperable with both 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V legacy peripherals |
| True output polarity | No inversion between A and Y - simplifies timing analysis and eliminates need for complementary logic in address decode paths |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Backplane Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC16244DGGR | Same die, identical specs, TI's current production part number without G4 suffix | No functional difference - G4 denotes RoHS-compliant green packaging; SN74AC16244DGGR is functionally identical | Select SN74AC16244DGGR for new designs requiring TI's latest qualified build lot and full documentation traceability |
| 74LVC16244APAG | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 24 mA drive, 3.5 ns tPD at 3.3 V, 50 Ω series termination option | Optimized for 3.3-V-only systems; not 5-V tolerant - requires level translation if interfacing with 5-V logic | Choose 74LVC16244APAG only in fully 3.3-V domains where speed >7 ns is required and 5-V compatibility is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AC16244DGGR and 74LVC16244APAG, the 74AC16244DGGRG4 provides unique 3–5.5 V interoperability and military-grade latch-up immunity, making it the sole choice for mixed-voltage industrial backplanes requiring robustness at extended temperature extremes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74AC16244DGGRG4?
The 74AC16244DGGRG4 is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This commercial temperature grade aligns with industrial control and programmable logic applications where ambient conditions exceed consumer-grade limits but do not require full military-spec performance. The underlying EPIC CMOS process ensures parametric stability across this full range, including consistent tPLH/tPHL delay variation <15%.
Does the 74AC16244DGGRG4 support 5-V tolerant inputs when operated at 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the 74AC16244DGGRG4 accepts input voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V, meaning it tolerates 3.8 V inputs at 3.3 V VCC. This allows direct interfacing with 5-V TTL outputs without external level shifters, provided the input current remains within ±1 µA (II specification). This feature is explicitly confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the SCAS120A datasheet.
How many independent 3-state control inputs does the 74AC16244DGGRG4 have?
The 74AC16244DGGRG4 has four independent active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE. Each controls a 4-bit section (e.g., 1OE enables Y1–Y4), allowing granular bus segmentation. This is verified in the logic diagram, pinout diagram, and FUNCTION TABLE sections of the datasheet - no shared or global OE signal exists.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74AC16244DGGRG4 in its TSSOP-48 package?
The 74AC16244DGGRG4 in TSSOP-48 (DGG) package has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 110°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (1-layer board, 1-in² copper pad). This value is derived from the 0.85 W maximum power dissipation rating at TA = 55°C and the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can the 74AC16244DGGRG4 be used in place of the obsolete 74AC16244DLR?
Yes - the 74AC16244DGGRG4 is a direct functional and pin-compatible replacement for the SSOP-48 (DL) packaged 74AC16244DLR, sharing identical logic behavior, DC specs, and AC timing. The DGG package offers superior thermal performance (0.85 W vs. 1.2 W max power but lower θJA) and smaller footprint (12.6 × 6.2 mm vs. 15.4 × 7.5 mm), though PCB land patterns differ and require layout update.
