Product details
Overview
74AHCT16244DGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver with four independent 4-bit sections, TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), 5-V supply operation, and ±25 mA output drive capability. It enables high-density bus interfacing in memory address, clock distribution, and peripheral I/O applications where controlled signal isolation and noise-immune edge rates are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 datasheet, 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 pinout, 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 application, or 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 equivalent, this device supports voltage translation from 3.3-V logic to 5-V buses, features distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress switching noise, and delivers guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.5 ns (CL = 15 pF) across –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with an active-low output-enable (OE) input controlling all four outputs simultaneously. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures TTL-level input compatibility while maintaining 5-V CMOS output swing and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17.
Each buffer section operates with symmetrical drive strength (IOH/IOH = –8 mA / 8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V), slow edge-rate control to minimize ringing, and input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V. The TSSOP-48 package integrates 12 dedicated GND and 6 VCC pins to reduce ground bounce and power rail disturbance during high-speed switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Guarantees reliable recognition of 3.3-V TTL logic levels without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - Supports direct driving of multiple CMOS loads or moderate-current peripherals. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.5 ns (CL = 15 pF) - Enables timing-critical bus buffering at >50 MHz data rates. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2000 V HBM - Meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 for robust handling in automated assembly lines. |
| Power Dissipation | Cpd = 8.2 pF - Low dynamic power consumption ideal for high-pin-count, low-duty-cycle bus interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (body size 12.50 mm × 6.10 mm, 1.2 mm max height) with exposed pad not electrically connected; 48-pin layout optimized for flow-through PCB routing and minimal trace stubs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit buffer group; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure Hi-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Buffer input | TTL-compatible inputs accepting 0–5.5 V; unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Noninverting 3-state output | True outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed 5-V supply connections reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PSRR. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight dedicated ground pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce in multi-bit switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT16244DGVR | TVSOP-48 package (9.70 mm × 4.40 mm); identical electrical specs and pinout; thinner profile (1.0 mm max height). | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs requiring lower component height; same thermal resistance (RθJA = 83.5°C/W) but smaller footprint. | Select DGVR when board height budget is <1.2 mm or when finer-pitch assembly is required; no layout change needed. |
| SN74AHCT16244DLR | SSOP-48 package (15.80 mm × 7.50 mm); identical functionality; higher RθJA (64.6°C/W) due to larger thermal mass. | Better suited for high-reliability industrial applications with extended thermal cycling; compatible with legacy SSOP footprints. | Choose DLR for legacy designs or where mechanical robustness and moisture resistance outweigh size constraints. |
Compared with 74AHCT16244DGGRG4, the DGVR offers identical performance in a lower-profile package ideal for ultra-thin systems, while the DLR provides enhanced thermal stability and legacy compatibility at the cost of board area - both retain full pin-for-pin and functional equivalence.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4?
The 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with electrical characteristics guaranteed across this full industrial/automotive range. This includes validated performance of VOH/VOL, propagation delay, and output drive strength at both extremes, making it suitable for under-hood automotive modules and outdoor telecom equipment.
Does the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes - to ensure a defined high-impedance (Hi-Z) state during power-up and power-down sequences, each OE pin (1OE–4OE) of the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 must be tied to VCC through an external pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source, typically 10 kΩ for standard logic control.
Can the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 safely interface 3.3-V microcontrollers with 5-V peripherals?
Yes - the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 accepts TTL-compatible input voltages (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), allowing direct connection to 3.3-V LVTTL outputs without level shifters. Its 5-V CMOS outputs then drive 5-V peripherals with full logic swing and ±25 mA capability, enabling robust voltage translation in mixed-supply systems.
How many ground and power pins does the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 have in its TSSOP-48 package?
The 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 in TSSOP-48 has eight dedicated GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) and six VCC pins (pins 7, 18, 31, 42, plus two additional VCC locations per TI package drawing). This distributed power/ground architecture minimizes simultaneous switching noise and improves signal integrity in high-speed 16-bit bus applications.
Is the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 pin-compatible with other members of the SN74AHCT16xxx family?
No - the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 is functionally and physically distinct from other SN74AHCT16xxx variants (e.g., SN74AHCT16245, SN74AHCT16373). While all share the TSSOP-48 footprint, pin assignments differ significantly: the 74AHCT16244DGGRG4 has four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers with active-low OE per group, whereas others implement transceivers or latches with different I/O configurations and control logic.
