Product details
Overview
74LVC244ABQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in DHVQFN20 package, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, with 5 V-tolerant inputs/outputs and Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity. It supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 pinout, 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 application, or 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability automotive bus interfacing where voltage-level translation, low static current (<10 μA), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C) are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer groups (1A0–1A3 and 2A0–2A3), each controlled by dedicated active-low output enable pins (1OE, 2OE). Outputs enter high-impedance state when respective OE is HIGH, enabling bidirectional bus sharing without contention.
Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure robust operation with slow-rising signals (Δt/ΔV up to 20 ns/V at VCC = 1.2 V), while bus-hold functionality on data inputs (74LVCH244A variant) eliminates external pull-ups - though 74LVC244A-Q100 lacks bus hold per datasheet Table 6 footnotes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with modern low-voltage MCUs and legacy 3.3 V peripherals |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V logic without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Max 5.9 ns - Supports >100 MHz bus timing in automotive CAN/LIN subsystems |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces and connectors |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood applications |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Robust handling during automated assembly and field service |
| Quiescent Supply Current | Max 40 μA at VCC = 3.6 V - Minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle modules |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1), 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection. Exposed thermal pad (GND-connected per datasheet note) enhances thermal performance in high-density automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3 (Pins 12,14,16,18,3,5,7,9) | Buffered outputs (Group 1 & 2) | Non-inverting outputs with 3-state control; tolerate 5 V in high-Z mode |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3 (Pins 2,4,6,8,17,15,13,11) | Data inputs (Group 1 & 2) | Schmitt-trigger inputs accept 0–5.5 V; no bus hold on 74LVC244A-Q100 variant |
| 1OE, 2OE (Pins 1, 19) | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit group; HIGH forces outputs to high-Z |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 1.2–3.6 V digital supply; decoupling required within 3 mm of pin |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | 0 V return path; thermal pad must be soldered and connected to GND plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including temperature cycling and HTOL |
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables seamless 3.3 V ↔ 5 V domain bridging |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis >0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V - rejects noise on long harnesses in chassis-ground-noisy environments |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 12.5 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - limits switching power to <1 mW at 10 MHz toggle rate |
| DHVQFN with side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection of solder joints - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Interface | Body Control Module (BCM) Bus Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating microcontroller GPIOs from noisy solenoid drivers and sensor buses in powertrain ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with 3-state control enables time-multiplexed access to shared diagnostic lines (e.g., K-line). Use Value: 5 V tolerance prevents damage from load-dump transients; Schmitt inputs reject ignition coil EMI. |
Use Scenario: Driving multiple LIN transceiver inputs from a single MCU port in door module assemblies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal line driver translates 3.3 V MCU outputs to 5 V LIN bus levels while providing fan-out gain. Use Value: ±24 mA drive strength ensures fast edge rates into 1 kΩ LIN bus termination; low ICC reduces sleep-current budget. |
| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera Link | Infotainment Display Data Latch |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting parallel pixel data from image sensor (1.8 V) to FPGA-based video processor (3.3 V) in surround-view cameras. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-translating buffer with sub-6 ns propagation delay preserves pixel clock timing integrity. Use Value: 1.2 V minimum VCC allows compatibility with ultra-low-power image sensors; 125 °C rating suits camera housing placement. |
Use Scenario: Latching RGB data from SoC to display timing controller in head-unit displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state octal buffer isolates display data bus during GPU reconfiguration cycles. Use Value: Independent 1OE/2OE control allows staggered latching of upper/lower nibbles; DHVQFN footprint saves space in tight bezel designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 | Includes bus-hold circuit on all data inputs; identical pinout and electrical specs otherwise | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistors on unused inputs in BCM modules with floating switches | Select when input floating states must be actively held without board-level resistors |
| SN74LVC244AQDRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same logic function, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but no side-wettable flanks | Better suited for manual rework or prototyping; lower thermal performance than DHVQFN in high-power density layouts | Select when AOI capability is not required and TSSOP handling preference exists |
Compared with 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100, the base 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 saves BOM cost by omitting bus-hold, while SN74LVC244AQDRQ1 trades thermal efficiency for assembly flexibility - choice depends on whether input stability or solder-joint inspection is the higher priority.

FAQ
Is the 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 pin-compatible with the 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100?
Yes - both share identical DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) pinout, recommended operating conditions, and AC/DC specifications. The only functional difference is the presence of bus-hold circuitry on data inputs in the LVCH variant; control pins (OE, VCC, GND) and outputs behave identically.
Can this device drive a 5 V TTL input directly when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes - its outputs are 5 V tolerant in 3-state mode and deliver valid HIGH/LOW levels compatible with TTL thresholds when VCC = 3.3 V: VOH ≥ 2.2 V (IO = −24 mA), VOL ≤ 0.55 V (IO = 24 mA), satisfying TTL VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V requirements.
What is the maximum capacitive load this buffer can drive while maintaining timing specs?
Per datasheet Table 9, the device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with RL = 500 Ω at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V. Propagation delay remains within spec (max 5.9 ns) under these conditions; exceeding 50 pF increases tpd nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold margins in high-speed buses.
Does the exposed thermal pad require soldering and grounding?
Yes - the datasheet specifies that the exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) must be soldered and electrically connected to the PCB's GND plane. This is mandatory for thermal dissipation and EMI suppression; leaving it unconnected degrades junction temperature rise by >25 °C/W and risks latch-up under transient stress.
