Product details
Overview
74HCT244BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in DHVQFN20 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with TTL-compatible inputs, ±7.8 mA output drive, and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It serves as bidirectional bus interface logic in engine control units (ECUs) and body control modules (BCMs), enabling isolation of microcontroller I/O banks from noisy power domains.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT244BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT244BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HCT244BQ-Q100 application, or 74HCT244BQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, dual independent 3-state enable control (1OE/2OE), propagation delay ≤22 ns at 4.5 V, high-impedance OFF-state leakage <±5 μA, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0'–Y3'). The TTL-input threshold (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensures robust interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and ASICs without level-shifting.
Its CMOS output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing with VOH ≥3.98 V and VOL ≤0.26 V at IO = ±6 mA, while input clamp diodes support safe overvoltage tolerance up to VCC + 0.5 V. The DHVQFN20 package provides thermal enhancement and AOI-compatible side-wettable flanks for automotive reflow reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Matches standard automotive 5 V rail; avoids brown-out during cold-crank transients. |
| Input Logic Type | TTL-compatible - Accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds; interoperable with legacy 5 V MCUs without external biasing. |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns (typ), 33 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - Enables reliable 30 MHz bus operation with timing margin. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces and multiple gate inputs in ECU backplanes. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±5.0 μA max at −40 °C to +125 °C - Ensures minimal current injection into disabled subsystems during sleep modes. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) - Qualified for powertrain and chassis applications per automotive stress test requirements. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Withstands assembly handling and in-vehicle electrostatic events without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) package: 2.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, no leads, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered or floating/grounded per layout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enables for Group 1 (Y0–Y3) and Group 2 (Y0'–Y3') outputs; independent control allows staggered bus arbitration. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Inputs for first 4-bit buffer group; routed to corresponding 1Y0–1Y3 outputs when 1OE = LOW. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A0–2A3 | Inputs for second 4-bit buffer group; routed to 2Y0–2Y3 outputs when 2OE = LOW. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs for Group 1; high-impedance when 1OE = HIGH. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs for Group 2; high-impedance when 2OE = HIGH. |
| 10 | GND | Reference ground (0 V); must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with full temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD testing per automotive standards. |
| Dual independent 3-state control | Separate 1OE/2OE pins allow selective activation of either 4-bit segment-critical for time-multiplexed CAN/LIN transceiver data routing. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V at 5 V supply-ensures clean logic recognition from legacy 5 V peripherals without pull-ups or translators. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Enables direct interface to signals exceeding VCC (e.g., 12 V sensor lines) when used with current-limiting resistors. |
| DHVQFN20 with side-wettable flanks | Supports automated optical inspection of solder joints-mandatory for zero-defect automotive manufacturing audits. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same electrical specs but 4.4 mm body width vs. 2.5 mm × 4.5 mm DHVQFN. | Larger footprint; less suitable for space-constrained ADAS camera modules requiring ultra-thin packaging. | Select when board real estate permits and AOI of side-wettable flanks is not required. |
| 74HCT244D-Q100 | SO20 package (SOT163-1); 7.5 mm body width, higher thermal resistance (12.3 mW/K derating above 109 °C). | Lower power density handling; unsuitable for under-hood ECU locations with ambient >105 °C. | Choose only for legacy designs with existing SO20 footprints and lower ambient temperature zones. |

FAQ
Is the 74HCT244BQ-Q100 pin-compatible with the 74HC244BQ-Q100?
Yes-both share identical DHVQFN20 pinout and function table, but differ in input voltage thresholds: 74HCT244BQ-Q100 accepts TTL levels (VIH ≥2.0 V), while 74HC244BQ-Q100 requires CMOS levels (VIH ≥3.15 V at 4.5 V). Swapping requires verification of driving source compatibility.
What is the maximum allowable output load capacitance for stable operation?
The device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance per output (per Table 9 test conditions). At CL = 50 pF and VCC = 4.5 V, propagation delay remains ≤33 ns and transition time ≤18 ns-ensuring timing compliance for 20 MHz bus rates with margin.
Does the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN20 package require soldering?
No-per datasheet note (1), the thermal pad has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If connected, it must remain electrically floating or tied to GND; intentional grounding improves thermal dissipation but is optional for functional operation.
Can 1OE and 2OE be tied together for single-enable operation?
Yes-connecting 1OE and 2OE simplifies control logic and enables simultaneous 8-bit buffering. However, this eliminates independent group isolation, which is essential for time-multiplexed bus architectures like those in multi-sensor ADAS systems.
