Product details
Overview
74LVC244AD-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver in SO20 package, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, with 5 V tolerant inputs/outputs, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) for use in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC244AD-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC244AD-Q100 pinout, 74LVC244AD-Q100 application, or 74LVC244AD-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO20 pin mapping, automotive interface use cases, and validated drop-in alternatives - all grounded in Nexperia's Rev. 7 product data sheet (August 2023).
Technical Context
This device implements dual 4-bit non-inverting buffers with independent 3-state control (1OE, 2OE), enabling bidirectional bus isolation in mixed-voltage systems. Each output supports high-impedance OFF-state when OE is HIGH, and tolerates up to 5.5 V on inputs regardless of VCC level.
Schmitt-trigger action at all eight data inputs ensures robust operation with slow-rising signals (e.g., mechanical switch interfaces), while bus-hold functionality is absent in the 74LVC244A variant (present only in 74LVCH244A). The SO20 package provides mechanical stability for under-hood automotive PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external clamping. |
| Propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Typ. 2.9 ns - supports high-speed data routing in CAN/LIN gateway modules and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| 3-state enable/disable time | Typ. 3.2 ns / 3.1 ns - ensures clean bus arbitration in multiplexed communication backplanes. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for powertrain and chassis control applications. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - sustains handling and board assembly in automotive manufacturing environments. |
| Output drive strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across 10 cm PCB traces in ECU signal conditioning stages. |
Pinout & Package
SO20 plastic small outline package (SOT163-1), 7.5 mm body width, 20-pin gull-wing lead frame, JEDEC-compliant footprint with pin 1 index notch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs - assert LOW to activate respective 4-bit buffer group; HIGH places outputs in high-Z. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Group 1 data inputs - connect to upstream logic (e.g., MCU GPIO or sensor ADC output lines). |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | Group 2 outputs - drive downstream loads (e.g., display drivers or relay control logic) with 5 V tolerance. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce in switching transients. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A0–2A3 | Group 2 data inputs - isolated from Group 1 for independent bus segment control. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | Group 1 outputs - provide non-inverted buffered signals with Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 5 mm for stable 3.3 V operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified - validated for continuous operation at +125 °C ambient in engine bay ECUs. |
| Mixed-voltage interoperability | 5 V tolerant I/O with 1.2 V–3.6 V core supply - eliminates external level translators in 3.3 V MCU + 5 V sensor systems. |
| Noise-immune inputs | Schmitt-trigger thresholds - reject <10 ns glitches from ignition noise or relay coil flyback in vehicle harnesses. |
| Zero-power state safety | High-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving during hot-swap or power sequencing events. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 12.5 pF at 3.3 V - limits switching current to <1.5 mA per 10 MHz toggle rate in always-on telematics modules. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating crankshaft position sensor signals from 5 V analog front-end before digitization by a 3.3 V MCU.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVCH244AD-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 low-power sleep modes. | Select when system has floating inputs during standby and requires guaranteed logic state retention without added passives. |
| SN74LVC244AQDRQ1 | Texas Instruments variant; same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating but different thermal resistance (θJA = 70 °C/W vs. Nexperia's 65 °C/W). | Validated for TI-specific reference designs (e.g., TDA3x-based ADAS platforms) with tighter layout constraints. | Select when designing to TI ecosystem documentation or requiring TI-provided simulation models (IBIS/TI SPICE). |
Compared with 74LVCH244AD-Q100, the base 74LVC244AD-Q100 saves board space by omitting bus-hold circuitry; versus SN74LVC244AQDRQ1, it offers lower thermal resistance for higher ambient reliability in compact ECU housings.

FAQ
Is 74LVC244AD-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74LVC244A devices?
Yes - the 74LVC244AD-Q100 uses the same SO20 (SOT163-1) footprint and pin assignment as industrial-grade 74LVC244A, including identical 1OE/2OE control, 1A0–1A3/2A0–2A3 inputs, and 1Y0–1Y3/2Y0–2Y3 outputs. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading to automotive qualification.
Can this device drive 5 V loads while powered from 1.8 V?
Yes - its outputs are 5 V tolerant in 3-state and active states, and inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 1.8 V, outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to 1.8 V) but safely interface with 5 V CMOS inputs due to guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds and clamping diodes.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported?
The device does not operate as a clocked register; it is a combinational buffer. Its 2.9 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V supports data rates up to ~170 Mbps for NRZ signals, limited by trace impedance matching and load capacitance - verified per JEDEC JESD8-C at 30 pF load and 1 kΩ termination.
Does it require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No - unlike the 74LVCH244A variant, the 74LVC244AD-Q100 lacks bus-hold circuitry. Unused inputs must be externally tied HIGH or LOW (e.g., via 10 kΩ resistor) to prevent floating states and excessive ICC current; this is explicitly required per Nexperia's application guidance in Section 9.
