Product details
Overview
74AC16244DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address driving, bus interfacing, and clock distribution in high-density digital systems. It operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive at 5 V, features 7.1 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V), and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the 74AC16244DL datasheet, 74AC16244DL pinout, 74AC16244DL application, or 74AC16244DL equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus-driving capability, flow-through pinout for PCB layout optimization, distributed VCC/GND for noise reduction, and compatibility with Widebus™-optimized system architectures.
Technical Context
The 74AC16244DL implements four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with active-low output-enable (OE) control and true (noninverting) logic transfer. Its flow-through architecture places inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side of the 48-pin SSOP package, minimizing trace crossovers.
Distributed VCC and GND pins across the package reduce simultaneous switching noise, while EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process ensures latch-up immunity of 500 mA at 125°C and rail-to-rail input/output voltage tolerance (–0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 16-bit noninverting buffer with 3-state outputs; enables bidirectional bus isolation |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and legacy 5 V TTL compatibility |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with controlled edge rates and minimal overshoot |
| Propagation Delay | 7.1 ns typical (A→Y, VCC = 3.3 V) - enables reliable operation in 100+ MHz address/data bus applications |
| Enable Propagation | 7.5 ns typical (OE→Y, VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures precise timing control for bus arbitration and multiplexing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing equipment |
| Input/Output Voltage Range | –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V - allows safe interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant or hot-swap-capable subsystems |
Pinout & Package
74AC16244DL uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP, DL), 300-mil body width, 0.5 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads and exposed thermal pad not present. Pin 1 identifier is marked in top-left corner per JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independently disable each 4-bit section; all must be low for corresponding Y outputs to reflect A inputs |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Buffer input terminals | Noninverting data inputs grouped into four 4-bit lanes; flow-through layout aligns with output pin positions |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Buffer output terminals | True (noninverted) 3-state outputs; high-impedance when respective OE is high |
| VCC (Pins 7, 21, 34, 48) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and supply noise coupling between sections |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 28, 31, 45) | Ground reference | Six dedicated GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and improve signal integrity for high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides of package - eliminates layer jumps and reduces PCB routing complexity |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and six GND pins strategically placed - suppresses ground bounce and improves noise margin in dense layouts |
| EPIC™ CMOS process | 1-µm fabrication with 500 mA latch-up immunity - ensures robustness in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Widebus™ family compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with TI's 74AC16240/16244/16373 family - simplifies design reuse and BOM consolidation |
| 3.3 V / 5 V dual-supply operation | Specified performance from 3 V to 5.5 V - supports migration from 5 V to 3.3 V systems without redesign |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | System Bus Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit memory address lines from a microcontroller or FPGA to SRAM/Flash devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 3-state buffer isolating address bus during DMA cycles or multi-master arbitration. Use Value: Flow-through pinout reduces trace length by >40% vs. conventional packages; 7.1 ns propagation enables sub-100 MHz address setup timing. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing between processor local bus and peripheral I/O expansion bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver enabling time-multiplexed data/address sharing with precise OE-controlled enable timing. Use Value: Distributed VCC/GND pins limit simultaneous switching noise to <15 mV peak-to-peak, preserving signal integrity at 50+ MHz bus speeds. |
| Clock Distribution | Industrial Control Backplane |
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, noninverting buffer with matched propagation delays across all 16 outputs. Use Value: ±0.7 ns inter-output skew (typical) ensures <1% duty-cycle distortion at 100 MHz, critical for synchronous sampling. |
Use Scenario: Isolating PLC I/O modules from central controller bus under EMI-prone factory conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust 3-state interface with 500 mA latch-up immunity and –40°C to +85°C operation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AC16244DGGR | TSSOP-48 (DGG) package; 1.2 mm max height vs. DL's 2.0 mm; identical electrical specs and pinout | Better thermal dissipation (0.85 W vs. 1.2 W max) and finer pitch for space-constrained designs | Select DGGR for automated SMT assembly with tighter board area budgets; DL remains viable where height clearance >2.0 mm is available |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 24 mA drive at 3.3 V; 3.5 ns tPLH (VCC = 3.3 V); LVTTL-compatible inputs | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; not 5 V tolerant; higher speed but narrower voltage margin | Choose LVC version only if full 5 V operation is unnecessary and sub-5 ns timing is required; DL retains 5 V interoperability |
Compared with 74AC16244DGGR and SN74LVC16244ADGGR, the 74AC16244DL offers unique value in legacy 5 V industrial systems requiring mechanical compatibility with existing SSOP footprints and guaranteed 5 V drive strength, while maintaining identical logic behavior and timing margins.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74AC16244DL?
The 74AC16244DL is characterized for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is explicitly specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the SCAS120A datasheet and applies to all electrical and switching parameters unless otherwise noted. The 74AC16244DL does not support the military –55°C to +125°C range - that specification applies only to the 54AC16244 variant.
Does the 74AC16244DL support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, the 74AC16244DL fully supports 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply voltage range is 3 V to 5.5 V, and switching characteristics (e.g., 7.1 ns tPLH typical) and DC parameters (VOH/VOL, II, IOZ) are explicitly tested and guaranteed at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V per the datasheet's "Switching Characteristics" tables.
Is the 74AC16244DL pin-compatible with other Widebus™ buffers?
Yes, the 74AC16244DL is functionally and pin-compatible with other members of TI's Widebus™ 16-bit buffer family, including the 74AC16240 (inverting) and 74AC16373 (latched). All share identical 48-pin DL/DGG footprint, flow-through pinout, and OE/A/Y terminal assignments - confirmed by the shared logic diagram and pinout diagrams in SCAS120A.
What is the maximum output current per pin for the 74AC16244DL?
The 74AC16244DL delivers ±24 mA per output pin at VCC = 4.5 V or 5.5 V, as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table under IOL and IOH. At VCC = 3 V, it provides ±12 mA. These values represent guaranteed steady-state drive capability into resistive loads, not transient pulse limits.
How many power and ground pins does the 74AC16244DL have?
The 74AC16244DL has four VCC pins (pins 7, 21, 34, 48) and six GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 28, 31, 45), as shown in the top-view pin diagram on page 1 of SCAS120A. This distributed configuration minimizes switching noise and improves power delivery integrity across all 16 buffer sections.
