Product details
Overview
74AHC244D,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in SO20 package, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing and voltage-level translation in mixed-supply systems. It features two independent 4-bit sections (1A0–1A3/1Y0–1Y3 and 2A0–2A3/2Y0–2Y3), dual active-low output enables (1OE, 2OE), CMOS input thresholds, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. Operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V with propagation delay as low as 3.4 ns at 5 V and 15 pF load.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC244D,112 datasheet, 74AHC244D,112 pinout, 74AHC244D,112 application, or 74AHC244D,112 equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed digital bus buffering, level-shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V domains, and noise-immune signal conditioning in industrial control and embedded I/O expansion circuits.
Technical Context
The 74AHC244D,112 implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer groups, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE, 2OE). Its Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis for noisy signal environments, while overvoltage tolerance allows safe interfacing with 5 V signals even when powered at 3.3 V.
It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C with static VIH/VIL thresholds defined for 2.0–5.5 V supply (e.g., VIH = 3.85 V min at VCC = 5.5 V), and dynamic performance characterized at CL = 15 pF and 50 pF loads. Propagation delay (tpd) and enable/disable timing are fully specified across voltage and temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.4 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in ≥100 MHz bus systems with tight timing margins. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - permits safe connection to higher-voltage buses (e.g., legacy 5 V peripherals) while powered at 3.3 V. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL/CMOS loads and moderate PCB trace capacitance. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and high-ambient embedded controllers. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and system integration. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO20) - thermally viable for continuous operation in compact enclosures with natural convection cooling. |
Pinout & Package
74AHC244D,112 uses the SOT163-1 (SO20) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin 10 is GND, pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls four outputs per section; LOW enables buffer, HIGH places outputs in high-impedance state. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | First group of four data inputs feeding corresponding 1Yn outputs. |
| 17, 15, 13, 11 | 2A0–2A3 | Second group of four data inputs feeding corresponding 2Yn outputs. |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Non-inverting buffered outputs for first input group; 3-state capable. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Non-inverting buffered outputs for second input group; 3-state capable. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be connected to system 0 V plane. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary power supply input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V operation eliminates need for separate voltage rails in mixed-signal boards. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis on all inputs rejects noise spikes up to 0.5 V, improving reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V input signals independent of VCC - enables direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers driving 3.3 V FPGAs. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input structure with >40 % noise margin at VCC = 5 V ensures robust operation near switching power supplies or motor drivers. |
| Low power dissipation | ICC ≤ 4 μA typical at VCC = 5.5 V and static conditions - extends battery life in always-on sensor interface modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT244D,112 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and DC specs except input threshold. | Better suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families where AHC's CMOS thresholds may cause marginal recognition. | Select when driving from 5 V TTL sources; otherwise prefer AHC for lower power and wider VCC range. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; 24 mA drive; different pinout (TSSOP20). | Optimized for modern low-voltage systems; not suitable for 5 V operation or direct pin replacement. | Choose only for new 3.3 V-only designs requiring higher drive strength; requires PCB redesign. |
Compared with 74AHCT244D,112, the 74AHC244D,112 offers superior voltage flexibility and lower static current but requires CMOS-compatible input sources; versus SN74LVC244APWR, it supports full 5 V interoperability but delivers less output current and targets broader industrial temperature use.

FAQ
Can 74AHC244D,112 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?
Yes. The device is fully specified down to 2.0 V: VIH = 1.5 V min, VOL = 0.5 V max at 4 mA load, and tpd ≤ 10.5 ns (max) at CL = 15 pF. This enables compatibility with ultra-low-power microcontrollers and battery-powered sensors operating at minimum core voltage.
What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive?
The outputs are characterized up to 50 pF load in datasheet Table 7, with tpd = 7.5 ns (max) and tdis = 11.5 ns (max) at VCC = 5.5 V. For loads exceeding 50 pF, propagation delay increases linearly; design margin requires derating based on measured board capacitance and timing budget.
Is thermal pad connection required for SO20 package?
No. The SOT163-1 (SO20) package has no exposed thermal pad. Thermal performance relies on copper pour under pins 10 (GND) and 20 (VCC), with recommended 100 mm² minimum 2-oz copper area connected via multiple vias for Ptot = 500 mW operation at +125 °C ambient.
How does overvoltage tolerance work on the inputs?
Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC due to integrated clamping structures. When VI exceeds VCC + 0.5 V or falls below -0.5 V, internal diodes conduct, limiting current to ±20 mA (per IOK spec). External series resistors ≥1 kΩ are recommended for sustained overvoltage conditions.
