Product details
Overview
74ACT16244DGG from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit TTL-compatible buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus interfacing in industrial and embedded systems. It features true output logic, four independent active-low OE inputs, ±24 mA drive capability at 5 V, 8.5 ns max propagation delay (A→Y), and operates from –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16244DGG datasheet, 74ACT16244DGG pinout, 74ACT16244DGG application, or 74ACT16244DGG equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus-driving performance, TSSOP-48 thermal/power limits (0.85 W max), EPIC™ CMOS process reliability, and compatibility with 5-V TTL-level control signals.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control. All inputs accept TTL-voltage thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), and outputs drive high-capacitance buses with symmetrical ±24 mA current capability under 5-V supply.
The flow-through pin architecture-inputs on one side, outputs on the opposite-minimizes PCB trace crossovers. Distributed VCC/GND pins (12 total) reduce simultaneous switching noise, and the EPIC™ 1-μm CMOS process delivers 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across industrial 5-V rail tolerances |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - supports direct connection to 50-pF bus loads without external buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 4 ns min / 8.5 ns max (A→Y) - enables reliable timing in 100-MHz address/clock paths |
| 3-State Enable Time | 3 ns min / 10.3 ns max (OE→Y) - critical for glitch-free bus arbitration in multiplexed systems |
| Input Capacitance | 4.5 pF - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
| Power Dissipation | 0.85 W max (TA = 55°C, DGG package) - defines thermal derating requirements for dense PCB layouts |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control | Independent gating per 4-bit section; low = enabled, high = high-impedance |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Buffer input terminals | 48 total inputs grouped into four 4-bit banks; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True-buffered output terminals | 48 total outputs; each mirrors corresponding A-input when OE is asserted |
| VCC (pins 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42) | Power supply | Six distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and high-frequency supply impedance |
| GND (pins 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39) | Ground reference | Six distributed GND pins minimize ground bounce during simultaneous output switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Inputs on left/right sides, outputs on opposite side - eliminates layer jumps and vias in dense routing |
| Distributed power/ground | 6× VCC and 6× GND pins - lowers effective supply inductance and suppresses simultaneous switching noise |
| EPIC™ CMOS process | 1-μm geometry with 500-mA latch-up immunity - ensures robustness in noisy industrial environments |
| TTL-input compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting |
| 3-state output symmetry | Matched tPZL/tPLZ and tPZH/tPHZ - prevents bus contention during enable/disable transitions |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16244DLR | Same logic function and specs, but SSOP-48 (DL) package: 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm, 0.635-mm pitch, 1.2 W max power dissipation | Better thermal performance in low-airflow environments; requires larger PCB footprint than DGG | Select for higher-power or lower-thermal-resistance needs where board space permits |
| SN74ABT16244DGGR | ABT-family variant: higher drive (±64 mA), faster speed (tPD = 3.6 ns), but higher ICC (100 μA typical vs. 8 μA) | Required for heavier bus loads or tighter timing budgets; not drop-in due to increased supply current and noise | Choose when 74ACT16244DGG's ±24 mA drive or 8.5 ns delay is insufficient for target bus loading/timing |
Compared with 74ACT16244DLR, the 74ACT16244DGG offers 30% smaller PCB area and lower profile but trades 0.35 W of thermal headroom; versus SN74ABT16244DGGR, it provides superior static power efficiency and noise immunity at the cost of drive strength and speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74ACT16244DGG?
The 74ACT16244DGG is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated per TI's SCAS116B datasheet and applies specifically to the DGG-package variant. Operation outside this range may result in parametric degradation or functional failure.
Does the 74ACT16244DGG support true TTL input levels?
Yes, the 74ACT16244DGG accepts standard TTL input voltage thresholds: VIL ≤ 0.8 V (guaranteed low) and VIH ≥ 2.0 V (guaranteed high) over its full operating temperature range. This allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry.
How many independent 3-state control inputs does the 74ACT16244DGG have?
The 74ACT16244DGG has four independent active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE. Each controls a separate 4-bit buffer section (1Y1–1Y4, etc.), enabling granular bus partitioning and power-gating per segment.
What is the typical supply current for the 74ACT16244DGG at 5.5 V?
At VCC = 5.5 V and TA = 25°C, the typical quiescent supply current (ICC) for the 74ACT16244DGG is 8 μA. This ultra-low static current supports energy-efficient designs in always-on industrial monitoring systems.
Is the 74ACT16244DGG pin-compatible with other Widebus™ 16-bit buffers?
No - the 74ACT16244DGG uses a fixed 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) pinout optimized for flow-through layout. While functionally similar to 74ACT16244DLR (SSOP), it is not pin-compatible due to differing lead pitch (0.5 mm vs. 0.635 mm) and body dimensions. Always verify mechanical fit before substitution.
