Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16244DGG:51 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with bus hold circuitry, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and featuring 1.9 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF), used in high-density logic interfacing and memory address/data bus buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 datasheet, 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 pinout, 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 application, or 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP48 package layout, bus-hold behavior, 3-state timing, and direct alternatives for industrial control backplanes and low-voltage FPGA I/O expansion.
Technical Context
The 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by dedicated active-low output enable inputs (1OE–4OE), enabling flexible partitioning as 4×4-bit, 2×8-bit, or 1×16-bit configurations. Its bus hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on floating data inputs without external resistors.
Designed for mixed-voltage systems, it supports 5 V-tolerant inputs only in the 74ALVC16244 variant - the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 excludes 5 V tolerance but adds bus hold. It complies with JEDEC standard 8-1A and features low-inductance multiple VCC/GND pins to suppress ground bounce in high-speed digital interfaces.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors on unused data inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area in modular backplane designs. |
| MultiByte flow-through pinout | Input/output pairs arranged in sequential order per 4-bit section - simplifies routing in dense PCB layouts and reduces trace crossovers. |

FAQ
Does the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 support 5 V tolerant inputs?
No, the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 does not support 5 V tolerant inputs. Unlike the 74ALVC16244 variant, the 'H' suffix denotes integrated bus hold circuitry but removes 5 V tolerance. Input voltage must remain within 0 V to VCC (max 3.6 V). For 5 V input compatibility, use 74ALVC16244DGG instead - both share identical TSSOP48 packaging and pinout, but differ electrically in VIH/VIL thresholds and bus hold presence.
What is the purpose of the eight GND pins on the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51?
The eight GND pins on the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 are strategically distributed to minimize ground inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) during 16-bit parallel transitions. Each GND pin services a localized cluster of outputs and inputs, reducing return path impedance and limiting ground bounce to <150 mV under full 16-bit switching at 85 °C - critical for signal integrity in high-speed backplane and memory interface applications using the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51.
How does bus hold functionality work on the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51?
The 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 integrates active bus hold circuitry on all data inputs (1A0–4A3), which applies weak feedback to maintain the last-valid logic state when inputs float. At VCC = 3.0 V, it sources −75 µA for HIGH hold and sinks 45 µA for LOW hold. This eliminates external pull resistors in modular systems where connectors may be unpopulated, ensuring deterministic logic levels without increasing board area or BOM cost - a key reliability feature unique to the 'H' variant of the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51.
Can the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 be used at 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 is fully specified for operation at 1.8 V (within its 1.2 V to 3.6 V range). At VCC = 1.8 V, it delivers guaranteed VOH ≥ 1.62 V and VOL ≤ 0.2 V with 6 mA load, and maintains tPHL/tPLH ≤ 2.8 ns (typ.) with CL = 30 pF. This makes the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 suitable for dual-supply systems interfacing 1.8 V FPGAs or microcontrollers with 3.3 V peripherals, without requiring level translators.
What is the maximum output current rating for the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51?
The 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 is rated for ±24 mA DC output current per pin at VCC = 3.0 V and Tamb = 85 °C - sufficient to directly drive 50 Ω transmission lines terminated at VCC/2. Absolute maximum ratings allow ±50 mA short-term, but sustained operation above ±24 mA risks exceeding thermal limits in TSSOP48 (Ptot = 600 mW at 85 °C). Derating is required above 55 °C per the 8 mW/K linear derate curve specified in the 74ALVCH16244DGG:51 datasheet.
