Product details
Overview
74ACT16244DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address and bus driving in high-density digital systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports TTL-compatible inputs, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout. Its 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) package enables compact placement in industrial control and data acquisition boards.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16244DGGR datasheet, 74ACT16244DGGR pinout, 74ACT16244DGGR application, or 74ACT16244DGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.4 ns), latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), distributed VCC/GND configuration, and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic families.
Technical Context
The 74ACT16244DGGR implements four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with active-low OE control and true (non-inverted) outputs. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures rail-to-rail output swing and low input capacitance (4.5 pF).
Each section supports symmetrical enable logic, enabling flexible partitioning as one 16-bit, two 8-bit, or four 4-bit drivers. The distributed power/ground pin architecture minimizes switching noise during simultaneous 16-bit transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial 5-V supply tolerances. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.4 ns @ 5 V - Enables reliable operation in 100-MHz bus systems with margin. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Directly interfaces with legacy 74LS and microcontroller GPIOs. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH/tPZL ≤ 10.3 ns - Fast output disable supports dynamic bus sharing in multiplexed architectures. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical @ 125°C - Meets stringent reliability requirements for extended-temperature industrial deployments. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.85 W max @ TA = 55°C (DGG) - Compatible with standard FR-4 PCB thermal management without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16244DGGR uses a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP-DGG), 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm, with 0.5-mm pitch and Q1 pin-1 orientation. Pin spacing and land pattern follow JEDEC MO-153 and IPC-7351 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit section; enables partial bus isolation without full device disable. |
| 1A1–4A4 | Buffer inputs | True (non-inverting) inputs; TTL-compatible thresholds allow direct connection to 3.3-V or 5-V logic with pull-ups if needed. |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive bus lines or memory address registers; high-impedance state prevents contention during data arbitration. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PSRR across all 16 outputs. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for maintaining signal integrity at >50 MHz edge rates. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74ACT16244DGGR?
The 74ACT16244DGGR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supports deployment in industrial enclosures without forced cooling. Exceeding 85°C ambient may degrade timing margins and increase ICC leakage; for extended-temperature use, consider the SN74ACT16244DGGR variant rated to 125°C.
Does the 74ACT16244DGGR support 3.3-V input logic levels?
The 74ACT16244DGGR has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), so it reliably accepts 3.3-V logic HIGH signals. However, its minimum VIH threshold means 3.3-V CMOS outputs (typically 2.4 V min at VCC = 3.3 V) may not guarantee consistent recognition - use a pull-up resistor to 5 V or level translator if interfacing with unbuffered 3.3-V CMOS sources.
Can the 74ACT16244DGGR be used in place of the 74F244?
Yes, the 74ACT16244DGGR is a functional and pin-compatible replacement for the 74F244 in 5-V systems. It offers superior performance: lower power (ICC = 80 μA vs. ~50 mA), faster propagation (≤9.4 ns vs. ~10 ns), and higher latch-up immunity (500 mA vs. ~100 mA). No PCB changes are required, but verify timing closure due to reduced delay skew.
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND pins on the 74ACT16244DGGR?
The 74ACT16244DGGR features four VCC and eight GND pins to minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity. Distributed power/ground connections reduce inductance in high-frequency current loops, suppress ground bounce during 16-bit parallel transitions, and maintain stable VOH/VOL across all outputs - critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed bus applications.
Is the 74ACT16244DGGR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74ACT16244DGGR is RoHS compliant and uses NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's packaging addendum, it carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is qualified for peak reflow at 260°C. The part marking "ACT16244" appears on the top surface, and full compliance documentation is available via TI's Quality & Environmental page.
