Product details
Overview
74LVC2244APW/AUJ from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver with integrated 30 Ω series termination resistors, 5 V tolerant I/O, and dual independent output enables (1OE, 2OE). It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity. It is used in high-speed digital bus interfacing, memory address/data buffering, and industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ datasheet, 74LVC2244APW/AUJ pinout, 74LVC2244APW/AUJ application, or 74LVC2244APW/AUJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 Ω on-die series termination, IOFF partial power-down capability, -40 °C to +125 °C temperature rating, TSSOP20 package footprint, and compatibility with JEDEC JESD8-7A/5A/C standards.
Technical Context
The 74LVC2244APW/AUJ implements two independent 4-bit buffered paths, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for outputs 1Y0–1Y3; 2OE for 2Y0–2Y3). Its CMOS architecture delivers low static current (≤40 μA at VCC = 3.6 V) and fast propagation delays down to 1.5 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V).
Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals and improve noise margin; the IOFF circuit ensures zero backflow current during partial power-down. All I/O pins are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V, enabling safe interfacing with legacy 5 V logic while powered from 1.2–3.6 V supplies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC2244AD | SO20 package (SOT163-1), wider body (7.5 mm), higher thermal resistance (12.3 mW/K derating above 109 °C). | Better suited for manual soldering, prototyping, or legacy SOIC footprints; lower pin density than TSSOP. | Select 74LVC2244AD when board layout requires SOIC-20 compatibility or thermal mass aids rework. |
| SN74LVC8T245RHLR | 8-bit bidirectional transceiver with auto-direction control, no integrated 30 Ω termination, 3.6 V max VCC. | Supports bidirectional data flow (e.g., I²C, SMBus); lacks series termination and IOFF, limiting use in hot-swap or mixed-voltage unidirectional buses. | Choose SN74LVC8T245RHLR only for bidirectional applications where direction control simplifies firmware; not a drop-in replacement for 74LVC2244APW/AUJ. |
Compared with 74LVC2244AD and SN74LVC8T245RHLR, the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ uniquely combines TSSOP20 space efficiency, on-die 30 Ω termination, and IOFF protection-making it optimal for high-density, mixed-voltage, unidirectional bus buffering where signal integrity and power sequencing safety are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ can tolerate?
The 74LVC2244APW/AUJ supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling safe interfacing with 5 V logic families while operating from as low as 1.2 V. This overvoltage tolerance is guaranteed per the datasheet's limiting values table and applies to all I/O pins including 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3, 1Y0–1Y3, and 2Y0–2Y3. The 74LVC2244APW/AUJ does not require external clamping diodes for 5 V signal compatibility.
Does the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ incorporates IOFF circuitry that disables outputs and blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, even if input or output pins are driven to 5.5 V. Measured IOFF leakage is ≤±10 μA, preventing damaging back-current in multi-rail systems during power sequencing or hot-swap events. This feature is explicitly verified in the datasheet's static characteristics section.
What is the purpose of the integrated 30 Ω resistors in the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ?
The 30 Ω series termination resistors are built into each output driver (1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3) to match typical PCB trace impedances and suppress signal reflections. This eliminates the need for eight discrete 30 Ω resistors, reducing BOM cost, PCB real estate, and potential impedance mismatches from layout variations. The value is fixed and non-adjustable per the device architecture.
Can the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ be used as a level shifter between 1.8 V and 5 V systems?
Yes-the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ accepts 1.8 V logic inputs (VIH min = 1.08 V at VCC = 1.2 V; 0.65 × VCC at higher rails) and drives 5 V-tolerant outputs capable of sinking/sourcing up to ±50 mA. Its 5.5 V input tolerance allows direct connection to 5 V buses, making it suitable for unidirectional level shifting without external components, provided the driven load remains within output current limits.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 74LVC2244APW/AUJ?
The 74LVC2244APW/AUJ is fully specified from -40 °C to +125 °C, validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive strength, and IOFF leakage. This extended range is confirmed in the "Ordering information" table and supported by characterization data in Sections 8–10 of the datasheet, qualifying it for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications.
