Product details
Overview
74ACT16244DLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address driving, bus interfacing, and clock distribution in industrial digital systems. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports –40°C to 85°C operation, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT16244DLR datasheet, 74ACT16244DLR pinout, 74ACT16244DLR application, or 74ACT16244DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible inputs, symmetrical active-low OE control per 4-bit group, 3.4 ns minimum propagation delay (tPHL), 50 pF power dissipation capacitance when enabled, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density routing constraints.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) inputs-1OE through 4OE-enabling granular bus control. Each section drives true (non-inverted) outputs with rail-to-rail swing and 3-state capability, eliminating bus contention during idle cycles.
Based on TI's EPIC™ 1-μm CMOS process, it integrates distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, supports latch-up immunity of 500 mA at 125°C, and maintains stable timing across temperature via guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.4 ns and tPZH/tPZL ≤ 10.3 ns at 5 V and 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to directly drive 50-pF loads at full speed without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL ≤ 9.5 ns - Enables reliable operation in 100-MHz address/data bus timing windows. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 11.3 ns - Guarantees fast bus release for time-critical multiplexed architectures. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage - Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V input thresholds, simplifying interface with legacy controllers. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | Cd = 39 pF - Predictable dynamic power consumption for thermal modeling in dense layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems without derating. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT16244DLR uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 11.35 mm × 16.2 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, and Q1 pin-1 quadrant orientation. The package supports automated placement and reflow per JEDEC Level-1-260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independently disable each 4-bit buffer group; tied low to enable, high to tri-state outputs. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, etc. | Buffer input terminals (16 total) | True-input logic signals routed to corresponding Y outputs; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, etc. | Buffer output terminals (16 total) | Non-inverted, 3-state outputs; high-impedance when respective OE is high. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 28, 39) | Power supply connections | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and reduce simultaneous switching noise across the die. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 21, 32, 45) | Ground return paths | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all output groups and internal logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides (e.g., A1–A4 on left, Y1–Y4 on right), enabling straight PCB traces and reduced crosstalk. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and five GND pins placed strategically across the 48-pin array to stabilize supply rails during high-speed switching. |
| EPIC™ process technology | 1-μm CMOS fabrication ensures low static current (ICC ≤ 160 μA), high noise immunity, and robust latch-up resistance (500 mA @ 125°C). |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Interoperates directly with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO without external biasing. |
| 3-state output symmetry | Identical tPZH/tPLZ and tPHZ/tPLZ specs across all 16 outputs - Ensures deterministic bus arbitration timing. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Bus Transceiver Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or Flash devices sharing a common data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting 3-state buffer isolating CPU address outputs from memory load; OE controlled by chip-select decoding. Use Value: Prevents address bus contention during memory access arbitration; enables clean signal integrity up to 100 MHz due to <9.5 ns tPHL. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data buffering between an FPGA and legacy parallel peripheral (e.g., printer port or ISA-style I/O card). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled line driver/receiver using paired 74ACT16244DLR units; OE synchronized with direction signal. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transceivers; leverages symmetrical enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 10.3 ns) for glitch-free bus turnaround. |
| Clock Distribution Network | High-Density PCB Signal Fanout |
Use Scenario: Distributing a single system clock to multiple synchronous logic blocks (e.g., ADC, DAC, and FPGA peripherals) requiring matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, non-inverting fanout buffer; all 16 outputs driven from one clock source with shared OE. Use Value: Achieves inter-output skew <0.5 ns due to matched internal paths and distributed power delivery, critical for setup/hold compliance. |
Use Scenario: Expanding limited MCU GPIO count to drive 16 discrete indicators, relays, or sensor inputs in space-constrained industrial HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose logic-level translator and drive amplifier; inputs tied to MCU port, outputs routed to external loads. Use Value: Delivers ±24 mA per output - sufficient to drive LEDs directly or interface with 5-V optocouplers without external drivers. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16244DGGR | TSSOP-48 package (24.4 mm × 13.0 mm); 0.5-mm pitch; thinner profile (1.2 mm max height). | Better suited for ultra-thin or portable designs where board height is constrained; same electrical specs and pinout. | Select DGGR for space-limited assemblies requiring lower profile; DL and DGG are functionally identical but mechanically distinct. |
| SN74ABT16244DGG | ABT family: higher drive (±64 mA), faster propagation (tPHL ≤ 4.5 ns), but higher ICC (up to 30 mA typical). | Required for driving heavier capacitive loads (>100 pF) or sub-5-ns timing-critical buses; not drop-in due to increased power demand. | Choose ABT version only when 74ACT16244DLR's ±24 mA or 9.5 ns delay is insufficient; verify thermal margin and supply stability. |
Compared with 74ACT16244DGGR, the 74ACT16244DLR offers identical logic behavior and timing but in a wider SSOP body better suited for manual inspection and rework; versus SN74ABT16244DGG, it trades speed and drive strength for lower power and broader voltage noise margin, making it optimal for general-purpose industrial buffering where thermal headroom and cost matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ACT16244DLR?
The 74ACT16244DLR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature rating ensures reliable functionality in factory automation, motor control, and outdoor equipment environments without thermal derating. Its EPIC™ process and distributed power/ground pins maintain timing stability across this full range.
Does the 74ACT16244DLR support true 3-state outputs with simultaneous enable control?
Yes, the 74ACT16244DLR provides true 3-state outputs with four independent active-low OE inputs (1OE–4OE), allowing selective disabling of each 4-bit buffer group. When an OE is high, its associated Y outputs enter high-impedance state with leakage ≤ ±10 μA - verified per datasheet IOZ spec at 5.5 V.
Can the 74ACT16244DLR be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
No - the 74ACT16244DLR requires a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and is not 3.3-V tolerant. Its inputs meet TTL thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), but applying 3.3-V signals risks violating VOH/VOL specs and may cause unreliable switching. For mixed-voltage systems, use level translators or 3.3-V-compatible alternatives like SN74LVC16244A.
How does the flow-through pinout of the 74ACT16244DLR improve PCB layout?
The flow-through architecture places inputs (e.g., 1A1–1A4) and corresponding outputs (1Y1–1Y4) on opposite sides of the SSOP-48 package, enabling direct horizontal routing without vias or layer changes. This reduces trace length, crosstalk, and EMI - especially valuable in high-speed memory address or clock distribution layouts.
Is the 74ACT16244DLR pin-compatible with other members of the ACT16244 family?
Yes - the 74ACT16244DLR shares identical pinout and logic function with 74ACT16244DGGR (TSSOP) and SN54ACT16244WD (ceramic flatpack). All variants use the same 48-pin assignment, including VCC/GND distribution and OE/A/Y mapping, enabling mechanical interchangeability within footprint-constrained designs.
