Product details
Overview
74HC244N,652 from Nexperia is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with two independent output-enable controls (1OE, 2OE), operating across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply. It delivers 8-bit bus interfacing capability with propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 15 pF, and supports industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C). It is used in microcontroller I/O expansion, memory address/data bus isolation, and digital logic level translation.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC244N,652 datasheet, 74HC244N,652 pinout, 74HC244N,652 application, or 74HC244N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include CMOS-level input compatibility, dual 4-bit enable control, high-noise-immunity operation, and SO20 package suitability for through-hole prototyping and legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HC244N,652 implements standard HC-series CMOS logic with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (0 V to VCC) and outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±35 mA. Its dual 3-state enable architecture allows independent control of two 4-bit output groups (1Y0–1Y3 and 2Y0–2Y3), enabling flexible bus arbitration without external gating logic.
Input clamp diodes permit safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Static characteristics confirm VIH ≥ 3.15 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = 6.0 mA, ensuring robust TTL-compatible output drive under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V peripheral bus) |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in 50 MHz+ digital control paths |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or multiple 74-series inputs without buffers |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Input Leakage | ±1.0 μA max (–40 °C to +125 °C) - ensures minimal loading on high-impedance signal sources |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO20 package) - supports continuous operation with standard PCB copper area |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3 for handling robustness |
Pinout & Package
74HC244N,652 uses the SO20 (SOT163-1) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, through-hole mountable. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin 10 is GND, pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-LOW enable inputs - each controls four outputs (1Yn or 2Yn); HIGH forces high-impedance state |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Group 1 data inputs - routed to outputs 1Y0–1Y3 when 1OE = LOW |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Group 2 outputs - driven by 2A0–2A3 when 2OE = LOW |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane for noise immunity and correct logic thresholds |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A0–2A3 | Group 2 data inputs - routed to outputs 2Y0–2Y3 when 2OE = LOW |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Group 1 outputs - driven by 1A0–1A3 when 1OE = LOW |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation enables direct use with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters |
| Dual Independent Enables | Separate 1OE and 2OE pins allow time-multiplexed or domain-isolated bus access without external logic |
| CMOS-Level Inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC - eliminates need for external pull-ups or threshold-setting resistors |
| Clamp Diode Protection | Integrated input diodes support safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors |
| High Noise Immunity | Typical noise margin > 45% of VCC - maintains reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT244N,652 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and output specs | Better suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families where input thresholds differ | Select when driving from 5 V TTL sources; avoid if interfacing only with CMOS or 3.3 V logic |
| SN74HC244N | Same HC logic family, identical electrical specs, but TI packaging and qualification (SOIC-20) | No functional difference; may differ in traceability, lot marking, or long-term availability | Use when dual-sourcing is required or TI's supply chain offers better lead times for production ramp |
Compared with 74HC244N,652, the 74HCT244N,652 provides guaranteed TTL-level input recognition at 5 V, while SN74HC244N offers identical functionality with alternate manufacturing traceability-both require no PCB changes but differ in input compatibility and supply-chain alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HC244N,652?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74HC244N,652 is +7.0 V, but recommended operation is limited to 2.0 V to 6.0 V per datasheet Section 8. Exceeding 6.0 V risks accelerated aging and violates JEDEC JESD7A compliance. The 74HC244N,652 must not be operated continuously above 6.0 V even if below the 7.0 V limit.
Does the 74HC244N,652 support 3.3 V logic levels?
Yes - the 74HC244N,652 fully supports 3.3 V operation: VIH(min) = 2.1 V and VIL(max) = 1.35 V at VCC = 3.3 V (interpolated from Table 6), and VOH(min) = 3.15 V at IO = –6 mA. The 74HC244N,652 drives 3.3 V CMOS loads reliably and accepts standard 3.3 V logic inputs without level shifting.
Can the 74HC244N,652 drive LEDs directly?
Yes - each output of the 74HC244N,652 can sink or source up to ±35 mA (Section 7), sufficient for common indicator LEDs with appropriate current-limiting resistors. At VCC = 5 V and IO = 20 mA, VOL remains ≤ 0.26 V, ensuring >4.7 V forward bias across typical red/green LEDs. Always verify thermal dissipation in the SO20 package under sustained load.
Is the 74HC244N,652 pin-compatible with the 74HCT244N,652?
Yes - the 74HC244N,652 and 74HCT244N,652 share identical SO20 pinout, package dimensions, and output electrical characteristics. The only functional difference is input threshold compatibility: the 74HC244N,652 requires CMOS-level inputs, while the 74HCT244N,652 accepts TTL-level inputs. No PCB layout change is needed for substitution.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 74HC244N,652 in SO20 package?
The datasheet does not specify RθJA for the 74HC244N,652 in SO20 (SOT163-1), but total power dissipation is rated at 500 mW with linear derating above 109 °C (Section 7, Note [1]). For thermal design, assume RθJA ≈ 220 K/W (typical for SO20 with minimal copper) and verify junction temperature using TJ = TA + (P × RθJA), where P = VCC × ICC + Σ(VCC² × f × CPD).
