Product details
Overview
74LVC244ABX,115 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver with dual output enables (1OE, 2OE), operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply. It supports mixed-voltage interfacing (3.3 V/5 V inputs), features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. Used in bus buffering, address/data line driving, and level translation in industrial control and embedded I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC244ABX,115 datasheet, 74LVC244ABX,115 pinout, 74LVC244ABX,115 application, or 74LVC244ABX,115 equivalent, this device delivers deterministic 3-state timing, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and validated performance across –40 °C to +125 °C - critical for robust digital interface design in automotive body electronics and programmable logic interconnects.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y4–Y7). Its CMOS architecture ensures low static current (≤40 μA at VCC = 3.6 V) and fast propagation delays (as low as 1.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V).
The IOFF circuit disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, while Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals and improve noise margin. Bus hold functionality is absent in the 74LVC244A variant (present only in 74LVCH244A), confirming this part relies on external termination or system-level hold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct operation from modern low-voltage rails including 1.8 V and 2.5 V logic domains. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V TTL outputs without level shifters in mixed-supply systems. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1.5 ns (min) to 7.5 ns (max) at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data routing in FPGA/CPU peripheral buses. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - guarantees isolation during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level robustness. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1): 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm, leadless, thermal-enhanced quad flat no-lead with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected); 20 terminals, 0.5 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of two 4-bit output groups; drives outputs to high-impedance when HIGH. |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3 | Data inputs | Eight buffered input channels; accept 1.2 V–5.5 V logic levels with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis. |
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs | Octal non-inverting outputs; sink/source up to 24 mA per pin at VCC = 3.3 V. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Single-supply operation; requires local 100 nF decoupling near VCC pin due to fast switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V operation enables compatibility with 1.8 V microcontrollers and legacy 3.3 V peripherals. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | 5.5 V-rated inputs eliminate need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with 5 V systems. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging back-current flow during power sequencing or hot-plug events in modular systems. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 12.5 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces switching power in high-frequency bus applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); identical electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (10.0 mW/K derating above 100 °C). | Better suited for prototyping with hand-soldering; lower pin density than DHVQFN but easier rework. | Select when board assembly uses standard reflow profiles and thermal management is less constrained. |
| 74LVC244APW,118 | Same TSSOP20 package as SN74LVC244APWR but manufactured by Nexperia; identical parametric performance and qualification. | No functional difference; differs only in reel packaging and traceability marking. | Choose for supply chain continuity within Nexperia's portfolio and consistent quality documentation. |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and 74LVC244APW,118, the 74LVC244ABX,115 offers superior thermal performance (12.9 mW/K derating above 111 °C) and smaller footprint (2.5 × 4.5 mm vs. 4.4 × 6.6 mm), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial modules requiring extended temperature operation.

FAQ
Is 74LVC244ABX,115 pin-compatible with 74LVCH244ABX,115?
No. While both share identical pinouts and package (DHVQFN20), the 74LVCH244A includes bus hold circuitry on all data inputs - a feature absent in the 74LVC244A. This means external pull-ups/downs are required for floating inputs when using the 74LVC244ABX,115, whereas the LVCH variant maintains state autonomously.
What is the maximum output current per pin at 2.5 V supply?
At VCC = 2.5 V, the device guarantees ±12 mA output drive (sink/source) with VOL ≤ 0.6 V and VOH ≥ 1.8 V across –40 °C to +125 °C. This is verified per Table 6 in the datasheet under "IO = –12 mA; VCC = 2.7 V" and linearly interpolated for 2.5 V operation.
Does 74LVC244ABX,115 support hot-swap insertion?
Yes - its IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting off-state leakage to ±10 μA max. This prevents back-driving powered downstream circuits during live insertion, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 and JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for hot-plug-capable systems.
Can this device translate 5 V logic to 1.8 V logic directly?
No - it accepts 5 V inputs safely (up to 5.5 V), but outputs swing between GND and VCC. To drive a 1.8 V system, VCC must be set to 1.8 V. The output will then be 0 V / 1.8 V, compatible with 1.8 V receivers, while correctly interpreting 5 V inputs due to overvoltage tolerance.
