Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16244TTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state bus buffer with 3.6V-tolerant I/O, operating from 1.65V to 3.6V supply. It features four independent output-enable groups (1G–4G), symmetrical ±24mA drive at 3.0V, 3.0ns max propagation delay, and integrated bus-hold on all data inputs - used in voltage-translating memory address/data buses and low-voltage system interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16244TTR datasheet, 74ALVCH16244TTR pinout, 74ALVCH16244TTR application, or 74ALVCH16244TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.6V I/O tolerance across VCC = 1.65–3.6V, group-level 3-state control, bus-hold functionality for floating inputs, and TSSOP-48 thermal/power behavior under industrial temperature range (–55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable input (1G–4G). All inputs and outputs are 3.6V tolerant regardless of VCC, enabling safe interfacing between 1.8V/2.5V logic domains and 3.3V/3.6V signal environments.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused data inputs without external pull-ups; output impedance is symmetrical (|IOH| = IOL) with guaranteed drive strength scaling per VCC (±4mA @ 1.65V, ±12mA @ 2.3V, ±24mA @ 3.0V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered low-power operation |
| tPD (Max) | 3.0 ns @ VCC = 3.0–3.6V - enables high-speed address/data buffering in DDR2/DDR3 memory subsystems |
| IOL / IOH | ±24 mA @ VCC = 3.0V - drives standard 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Input Tolerance | 3.6V tolerant inputs/outputs - allows direct connection to 3.3V buses while powered from 1.8V supply |
| Bus-Hold | Integrated on all data inputs - eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on unterminated traces |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and field operation |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16244DGGR | Same logic function, identical AC/DC specs, but TI's version uses different internal bus-hold threshold calibration | Valid for TI-based reference designs; pinout and footprint match exactly | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or aligning with TI ecosystem toolchains |
| 74LVC16244APAG | Lower drive (±24mA only at 3.3V), no bus-hold, 3.6V I/O tolerance retained | Requires external pull resistors; suited for cost-sensitive consumer applications where bus-hold is not critical | Choose when BOM cost reduction outweighs need for floating-input immunity |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16244DGGR and 74LVC16244APAG, the 74ALVCH16244TTR uniquely combines guaranteed bus-hold functionality, symmetrical drive across full VCC range, and STMicroelectronics' industrial-grade latch-up and ESD specifications - making it optimal for mission-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ALVCH16244TTR?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous buffer. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system timing margins. With tPD = 3.0 ns (max) and clean edges, it reliably supports data rates up to ~150 MHz in point-to-point configurations with proper termination and layout.
Can the 74ALVCH16244TTR be operated at 1.65V while driving 3.3V-tolerant loads?
Yes. The 74ALVCH16244TTR maintains full 3.6V I/O tolerance regardless of VCC. At 1.65V supply, outputs swing rail-to-rail (0V to 1.65V) but remain compatible with 3.3V CMOS inputs due to its overvoltage-tolerant structure and input clamp diodes rated to 4.6V absolute max.
How does the bus-hold feature behave when VCC = 1.65V?
Bus-hold remains fully functional at minimum VCC. Input hold current is specified as ±25 µA at VI = 0.58V and ±45 µA at VI = 0.7V (VCC = 1.65V), ensuring stable logic retention even under worst-case low-voltage conditions without external biasing.
Is the 74ALVCH16244TTR pin-compatible with older 74AC/74HC16244 variants?
No. While functionally similar, the 74ALVCH16244TTR uses a TSSOP-48 package with different pin mapping than the SOIC-48 or SSOP-48 versions of legacy 74AC/HC16244. Pin compatibility is confirmed only with other ALVCH-series 16244 devices in TSSOP-48, such as ST's own 74ALVCH16244TR.
