Product details
Overview
74AHCT244PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified octal 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP20 package, featuring dual independent output enables (1OE, 2OE), TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), and operation from -40 °C to +125 °C. It supports mixed-voltage interfacing via overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V) and delivers balanced propagation delays as low as 3.5 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT244PW-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT244PW-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT244PW-Q100 application, or 74AHCT244PW-Q100 equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability bidirectional bus buffering in CAN/LIN subsystems, ECU I/O expansion, and automotive sensor interface consolidation where AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 3-state contention control, and 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance are required.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0–Y3). Inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity, and outputs drive up to ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V with VOH ≥ 3.94 V and VOL ≤ 0.36 V under load.
It operates across a 4.5–5.5 V supply range with static input thresholds aligned to TTL logic families, enabling direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers and ASICs. The 20-pin TSSOP package (SOT360-1) supports AOI-capable solder joint inspection and thermal derating of 10.0 mW/K above 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V automotive power rails and tolerates transient dips without functional loss. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees reliable recognition of TTL-level signals from MCUs and peripheral ICs. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.5 ns (typ, CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - Enables high-speed data routing in time-critical vehicle networks like LIN header arbitration. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL) - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS/TTL loads or terminate short PCB traces without external buffers. |
| Overvoltage Tolerance | Inputs rated to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V buses while powered from lower supplies (e.g., 3.3 V domains). |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) - Qualified for engine bay, transmission, and ADAS ECU placement without derating. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Mitigates field failures during handling and in-vehicle electrostatic events. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 20-terminal surface-mount with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enables: Pin 1 controls Y0–Y3; Pin 19 controls Y0–Y3 - Enables independent gating of two 4-bit data lanes. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Group 1 data inputs - Accept logic signals routed to first buffer section (e.g., MCU port A). |
| 17, 15, 13, 11 | 2A0–2A3 | Group 2 data inputs - Accept logic signals routed to second buffer section (e.g., sensor cluster outputs). |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Group 1 3-state outputs - Drive downstream loads only when 1OE = LOW; high-Z otherwise. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Group 2 3-state outputs - Isolate second data path independently from Group 1 using 2OE. |
| 10 | GND | Reference ground plane - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary supply rail - Requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C - Eliminates need for additional thermal margining in under-hood ECUs. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Separate 1OE and 2OE pins - Enables concurrent management of two isolated data paths (e.g., CAN TX/RX isolation or dual-sensor readout). |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Rated to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - Permits direct connection to 5 V buses while operating from 3.3 V supplies without level shifters. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥ 0.3 V typical - Rejects noise on long harness runs (e.g., door module switches or HVAC sensors). |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 12 pF - Limits switching current in high-frequency applications (e.g., 1 MHz LIN polling), reducing system-level heat generation. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Instrument Cluster Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Consolidating discrete switch inputs (door locks, window switches) into a single MCU port while maintaining electrical isolation between zones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 3-state buffer isolating noisy mechanical switch returns from MCU GPIOs; enables software-controlled input sampling windows. Use Value: Prevents cross-talk between door and seat control circuits; reduces BOM count by replacing four discrete buffers with one 8-bit device. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fan-out buffer translating 3.3 V MCU outputs to 5 V display peripherals with precise enable timing. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters; ensures glitch-free backlight sequencing during cold start (-40 °C) via guaranteed VIH/VIL margins. |
| Powertrain Sensor Hub | ADAS Camera Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC244PW-Q100 | CMOS-input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); lower ICC (4 μA typ) | Better suited for 3.3 V–5 V mixed-signal domains where input voltage matching is critical | Select when interfacing with CMOS microcontrollers or FPGAs requiring rail-to-rail input recognition |
| SN74LVC244APWRQ1 | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); LVTTL-compatible; no overvoltage tolerance | Optimized for low-voltage ADAS SoCs but incompatible with 5 V legacy buses | Choose only for new 3.3 V-only designs with strict power budget constraints and no 5 V interface requirement |
Compared with 74AHC244PW-Q100, the AHCT variant offers superior TTL-level compatibility for legacy automotive MCUs, while SN74LVC244APWRQ1 trades overvoltage tolerance for lower supply flexibility - making the 74AHCT244PW-Q100 optimal for brownfield ECU upgrades requiring 5 V bus interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74AHCT244PW-Q100?
The 74AHCT244PW-Q100 is not a clocked device and has no defined maximum clock frequency. Its performance is characterized by propagation delay (tpd ≤ 9.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) and enable/disable times (ten ≤ 14.5 ns, tdis ≤ 14.5 ns), making it suitable for asynchronous data routing up to ~50 MHz edge rates in well-terminated PCB traces.
Can 74AHCT244PW-Q100 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT244PW-Q100 requires a minimum supply of 4.5 V per its recommended operating conditions. Using 3.3 V violates VIH specification (2.0 V min) and risks unreliable TTL-level recognition; for 3.3 V systems, select the 74AHC244PW-Q100 or SN74LVC244APWRQ1 instead.
Is the exposed pad on the TSSOP20 package electrically connected?
No - the exposed pad in the SOT360-1 (TSSOP20) package is not electrically connected to any internal node. Per Nexperia documentation, it may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal enhancement, but no electrical function is assigned to it.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity in automotive environments?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ≥0.3 V hysteresis between VIH and VIL thresholds, preventing multiple output transitions caused by slow-rising or noisy signals (e.g., from long-wire door switches or unshielded sensor lines). This eliminates contact bounce artifacts and EMI-induced glitches without requiring external RC filtering.
