Product details
Overview
74LVC244AD,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver in SO20 (SOT163-1) package, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing and level translation between 1.2 V–3.6 V logic domains. It features dual independent output enables (1OE, 2OE), Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V - enabling reliable operation in mixed-voltage systems such as industrial I/O expansion and FPGA peripheral buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC244AD,112 datasheet, 74LVC244AD,112 pinout, 74LVC244AD,112 application, or 74LVC244AD,112 equivalent, this device is selected for its guaranteed 3.6 V supply compatibility, sub-8 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and validated use in high-noise digital backplanes where bus hold (on LVCH variant) and IOFF are critical - not for analog signal conditioning or power switching.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE, 2OE). All eight inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action with hysteresis ≥0.3 V at 3.3 V, enabling robust handling of slow-rising signals from mechanical switches or legacy TTL sources.
The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during hot insertion or partial system power-down. Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers while driving 3.3 V buses - confirmed per JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 1.5 ns (min) to 5.9 ns (max) at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing-critical data path integrity in 100 MHz+ digital interfaces. |
| IOFF leakage | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 5 V logic without external clamping diodes or resistors. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive control modules and industrial PLC I/O cards. |
| ESD rating (HBM) | >2000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, reducing susceptibility to handling damage in manufacturing environments. |
Pinout & Package
74LVC244AD,112 is supplied in plastic small outline package (SO20), SOT163-1, with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 is index-marked; package conforms to JEDEC MS-013 and RoHS-compliant reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enables - independently disable Group 1 (pins 18,16,14,12) or Group 2 (pins 3,5,7,9) outputs to isolate bus segments. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Group 1 data inputs - accept 1.2 V–3.6 V logic levels with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis for noise margin. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Group 2 outputs - drive 3.3 V buses with 24 mA sink/source capability and 0.55 V VOL at 24 mA. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A0–2A3 | Group 2 data inputs - electrically identical to 1A0–1A3; support independent input sourcing per group. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Group 1 outputs - provide matched timing and drive strength to 2Y0–2Y3 for symmetrical bus loading. |
| 20 | VCC | Supply voltage - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling; voltage must remain within 1.2–3.6 V during all operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 3-state control | Two OE pins (1OE, 2OE) allow selective isolation of two 4-bit data groups - essential for multiplexed address/data buses in microcontroller peripherals. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V - eliminates backfeed risk during hot-plug or firmware update sequences. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis ≥0.3 V at 3.3 V - rejects noise on long PCB traces or switch debouncing paths without external RC networks. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC setting - enables direct connection to 5 V sensors or legacy controllers without level-shifting components. |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges | Validated for JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C (2.7–3.6 V) - ensures interoperability across multi-rail SoC designs. |
Applications
| Industrial I/O Expansion | FPGA Peripheral Buffering |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving 8-bit parallel I/O lines from a microcontroller to external relays, encoders, or analog front-ends in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional buffer with independent group enables - provides electrical isolation, voltage translation, and bus contention prevention. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters and pull-up networks; IOFF prevents latch-up during controller reset sequences. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing FPGA GPIO banks operating at 1.8 V or 3.3 V with legacy 5 V peripheral ICs (e.g., ADCs, DACs, display drivers) on the same PCB. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-translating line driver - accepts 5 V inputs while driving 3.3 V FPGA inputs, with sub-6 ns tpd preserving setup/hold margins. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by replacing dual-supply translators; Schmitt inputs suppress noise from noisy motor-drive sections. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Embedded Test Equipment Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Driving LED arrays, solenoid drivers, and sensor readback lines in under-dash ECUs exposed to wide ambient temperature swings (-40 °C to +125 °C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust 3-state buffer - provides ESD-hardened signal routing between MCU and high-side/low-side drivers. Use Value: HBM >2000 V withstands assembly ESD events; guaranteed operation at 125 °C avoids thermal derating in enclosed enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Implementing programmable signal routing in automated test fixtures that switch between DUTs with varying logic families (TTL, CMOS, LVTTL). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configurable bus isolator - uses OE pins to dynamically assign data paths, supporting multiple DUT protocols via firmware.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVCH244AD,112 | Includes bus hold on all data inputs (IBHL/IBHH); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and voltage specs. | Eliminates need for external pull-ups on unused inputs in floating-bus scenarios (e.g., unpopulated daughterboards). | Select when input stability during configuration or standby is required without external resistors. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package; 4.4 mm body width; 10.0 mW/K thermal derating above 100 °C vs. SO20's 12.3 mW/K above 109 °C. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs but requires tighter layout for thermal management at full load. | Select when board area is constrained and thermal profile allows TSSOP mounting with adequate copper pour. |
Compared with 74LVC244AD,112, the 74LVCH244AD,112 adds bus hold for passive input stabilization without external components, while SN74LVC244APWR trades SO20's thermal robustness for smaller footprint - both retain identical logic function, timing, and voltage translation capability.

FAQ
Can 74LVC244AD,112 drive 5 V logic loads?
No - its outputs are specified only up to VCC (max 3.6 V). While inputs tolerate 5.5 V, outputs cannot source/sink into 5 V rails without external level-shifting circuitry. Driving 5 V TTL loads requires a pull-up to 5 V and verification of VOH/VOL thresholds against the target device's VIH/VIL.
Is bus hold functionality present on 74LVC244AD,112?
No - bus hold is exclusive to the 74LVCH244A variant. The 74LVC244AD,112 lacks internal bus hold circuitry; external pull-up or pull-down resistors are required to prevent floating inputs in unconnected states.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
Test data specifies 30 pF (for VCC ≤ 2.7 V) and 50 pF (for VCC ≥ 3.0 V) with defined rise/fall times and propagation delays. Exceeding these loads increases tpd and may cause timing violations; for >50 pF, verify waveform integrity using the test circuit in Figure 6 of the datasheet.
Does 74LVC244AD,112 support hot-swap insertion?
Yes - the IOFF circuit ensures outputs go high-impedance when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current flow during live insertion. However, input pins must not be driven before VCC stabilizes; sequencing control or series resistors are recommended for full hot-swap robustness.
