Product details
Overview
74AHC244D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified octal 3-state buffer/line driver in SO20 package, supporting dual 4-bit or single 8-bit operation with two independent active-low output enables (1OE, 2OE), 2.0–5.5 V supply range, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V - used for bidirectional bus interfacing and voltage-level translation in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC244D-Q100 datasheet, 74AHC244D-Q100 pinout, 74AHC244D-Q100 application, or 74AHC244D-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 thermal validation (−40 °C to +125 °C), propagation delay specs at 3.3 V/5 V, SO20 mechanical dimensions, and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard octal buffers.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0–Y3 of second group). Inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity and tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling mixed-voltage domain interfacing between 3.3 V logic and 5 V peripherals.
It operates across full automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) with CMOS-level input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V min at VCC = 5.5 V) and delivers typical propagation delays of 3.4 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) and 5.0 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF), with enable/disable times under 10 ns across all conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and powertrain applications. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.4 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing-critical bus buffering in high-speed automotive serial interfaces. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V buses while powered from 3.3 V, eliminating external clamping diodes. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces and multiple gate inputs in distributed ECUs. |
| Power Dissipation (CPD) | 10 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi) for thermal budgeting in sealed modules. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets automotive ESD immunity requirements for assembly and field operation. |
Pinout & Package
74AHC244D-Q100 uses the SO20 (SOT163-1) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads suitable for reflow and wave soldering. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls four outputs each; both must be LOW for respective Y-group to drive. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | First 4-bit input group - connects to upstream data source (e.g., microcontroller port). |
| 17, 15, 13, 11 | 2A0–2A3 | Second 4-bit input group - enables independent buffering of parallel signals like sensor clusters. |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | 3-state outputs for first group - driven only when 1OE = LOW; high-Z otherwise. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs for second group - isolated from 1Y group, allowing separate bus segments. |
| 10 | GND | Reference ground plane - requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary supply rail - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with lifetime reliability testing per automotive stress standards. |
| Dual independent 4-bit control | Enables selective activation of two bus segments (e.g., CAN transceiver side vs. MCU side) using separate OE pins. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides 0.9 V hysteresis at VCC = 3 V - rejects noise on long harness lines in vehicle networks. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 5.5 V signals while VCC = 3.3 V - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-supply ECUs. |
| Low dynamic power (CPD = 10 pF) | Reduces switching current draw in always-on modules (e.g., gateway wake-up circuits) without sacrificing speed. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) | Instrument Cluster Display Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT244D-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and timing at 5 V supply. | Better suited for legacy 5 V-only systems where input thresholds must match TTL logic families. | Select when interfacing with older automotive MCUs or ASICs requiring TTL-level recognition. |
| SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher drive (±24 mA), but no overvoltage tolerance beyond VCC + 0.3 V. | Optimized for low-voltage domains only; unsuitable for mixed 3.3 V/5 V bus translation. | Choose only for pure 3.3 V designs needing higher sink/source capability and smaller TSSOP package. |
Compared with 74AHCT244D-Q100, the 74AHC244D-Q100 provides superior mixed-voltage flexibility due to overvoltage-tolerant inputs, while SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 trades voltage range for higher drive strength and lower static current - making the AHC variant optimal for heterogeneous voltage architectures common in modern ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74AHC244D-Q100 can safely accept?
The device accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, confirmed by datasheet Section 7 (Limiting Values) and Section 5.2 (Pin Description). This overvoltage tolerance enables direct connection to 5 V buses while operating from 3.3 V, eliminating external protection components in mixed-voltage automotive interfaces.
Does the 74AHC244D-Q100 support hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes - its overvoltage-tolerant inputs and high-impedance 3-state outputs allow safe insertion into powered systems. When both OE pins are HIGH, all outputs enter high-Z mode, preventing bus contention. Input clamping current is limited to ±20 mA (Section 7), ensuring robustness during transient overvoltage events during hot-plug.
How does the propagation delay vary between 3.3 V and 5 V supply operation?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 50 pF, tpd is 7.5 ns max; at VCC = 5 V and same load, it drops to 5.0 ns max (Section 10, Table 7). This inverse relationship reflects CMOS switching speed dependence on supply voltage, enabling tighter timing margins in 5 V domains while maintaining compatibility with 3.3 V systems.
Can 1OE and 2OE be tied together for single 8-bit operation?
Yes - connecting 1OE and 2OE simplifies control to one enable signal, converting the device into an 8-bit buffer. The functional diagram (Fig. 1) and truth table (Table 3) confirm identical behavior per group, and no electrical conflict arises since both are active-low inputs sharing the same logic function and voltage thresholds.
