Product details
Overview
74AHCT16244DGGRE4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver IC with four independent 4-bit sections, TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), 5 V supply operation, ±25 mA output drive per channel, and propagation delay of 5.4 ns (CL = 15 pF) - used in memory address buffering, bus interfacing, and level translation between 3.3 V logic and 5 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 datasheet, 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 pinout, 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 application, or 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 equivalent, this device supports high-density PCB layout via flow-through architecture, distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17 - critical for telecom infrastructure and industrial embedded bus drivers.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with an active-low 3-state output-enable (OE) input. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures TTL-voltage compatibility while maintaining 5 V rail operation and symmetrical drive strength (IOH/IOH = –8/+8 mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V).
It features slow edge-rate control to minimize output ringing, overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), and distributed power/ground pins across the 48-pin TSSOP package to reduce simultaneous switching noise - enabling stable operation in high-speed bus environments up to 125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - enables robust operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - allows direct interface with legacy 3.3 V and 5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - sufficient for driving multiple CMOS loads or short traces on backplanes. |
| Propagation Delay | 5.4 ns (min) / 10.5 ns (max) at CL = 15 pF - supports >50 MHz bus timing with margin. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 Class 3A requirements for handling in automated assembly. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive failure during transient overcurrent events. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.50 mm × 6.10 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low 3-state enable | Controls corresponding 4-bit buffer section; tie to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Buffer inputs | True-input channels; TTL-compatible, overvoltage-tolerant up to 5.5 V. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs | 3-state outputs with ±25 mA drive; high-Z when OE asserted. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed 5 V supply connections minimize IR drop and improve noise immunity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight dedicated GND pins reduce ground bounce and support clean signal return paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input-to-output signal path runs linearly across package - simplifies layer routing and reduces trace crossovers. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and eight GND pins placed strategically - lowers impedance of power delivery network and suppresses SSN. |
| Slow edge-rate control | Controlled slew minimizes overshoot/undershoot - eliminates need for external series termination on most loads. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems and hot-swap scenarios. |
| EPIC™ CMOS process | Enhanced performance implantation delivers TTL compatibility with low static current (ICC ≤ 40 µA) and high noise margin. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT16244DGGR | Same die, identical specs, identical DGG package - differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs vs. 2000 pcs) and part marking ("AHCT16244" vs. "AHCT16244"). | No functional difference; both rated for –40°C to 125°C, same MSL-1, same RoHS/NIPDAU finish. | Select 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 for TI's standard production-grade reel with E4 suffix indicating enhanced quality screening. |
| SN74AHCT16244DGVR | Same functionality but in TVSOP-48 (DGV) package: smaller footprint (9.70 mm × 4.40 mm), thinner profile (1.0 mm max), tighter 0.4 mm pitch. | Better suited for space-constrained designs; slightly higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 83.5°C/W vs. 72.5°C/W) requires attention to power dissipation. | Choose SN74AHCT16244DGVR only when board area is critical and thermal margin permits; verify PCB land pattern compatibility. |
Compared with SN74AHCT16244DGGR, 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 offers identical electrical behavior with TI's enhanced manufacturing screening, while SN74AHCT16244DGVR trades thermal performance for compactness - making 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 optimal for industrial bus interfaces requiring reliability and thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4?
The 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and supported by thermal metrics including RθJA = 72.5°C/W (DGG package), enabling use in harsh industrial and automotive under-hood environments where the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 maintains full logic functionality and timing compliance.
Does the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 support 3.3 V input logic levels?
Yes, the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 accepts 3.3 V logic inputs reliably: its VIH(min) = 2.0 V and VIL(max) = 0.8 V meet TTL thresholds, and inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC. This makes the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 ideal for translating 3.3 V microcontroller outputs to 5 V bus loads without external level shifters - a key capability confirmed in TI's SCLS334J datasheet Section 9.3.
How many ground pins does the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 have, and why?
The 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 has eight dedicated GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) distributed across the TSSOP-48 package. This design minimizes ground-bounce noise and improves signal integrity during high-speed switching - a documented feature in the "Distributed VCC and GND Pins Minimize High-Speed Switching Noise" section of the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 datasheet.
Is the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 pin-compatible with other 16-bit AHCT buffers?
The 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 shares identical pinout and function with SN74AHCT16244DGGR and SN74AHCT16244DGVR (same pin numbering and I/O mapping), but mechanical compatibility requires verification: DGVR uses 0.4 mm pitch vs. DGG's 0.5 mm, so PCB footprints are not interchangeable. The 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 is not pin-compatible with non-AHCT variants like HCT or ACT due to differing DC specs and timing.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor configuration for the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4?
TI recommends placing a 0.01 μF ceramic capacitor near each VCC pin (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) of the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4, plus a bulk 0.1 μF capacitor shared across the supply net. This multi-capacitor strategy targets high-frequency noise suppression at individual pins and lower-frequency ripple - guidance explicitly stated in Section 11 ("Power Supply Recommendations") of the 74AHCT16244DGGRE4 datasheet.
