Product details
Overview
74LVCH16244AEV,518 from Nexperia is a 16-bit CMOS buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, four independent output enables (1OE–4OE), 5 V tolerant I/O, and integrated bus hold on all data inputs. It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains, and features IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It is used in industrial backplane interface, memory address buffering, and FPGA I/O expansion systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH16244AEV,518 datasheet, 74LVCH16244AEV,518 pinout, 74LVCH16244AEV,518 application, or 74LVCH16244AEV,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V input tolerance, bus hold functionality eliminating external pull-ups, IOFF-enabled safe power sequencing, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and TSSOP48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a multibyte flow-through architecture with four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each controlled by its own active-low output enable (1OE–4OE). Each section buffers four data inputs (nA0–nA3) to four 3-state outputs (nY0–nY3), with Schmitt-trigger inputs enabling robust operation with slow-rising signals.
The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot-insertion or partial power-down. Bus hold on all data inputs maintains valid logic states without external resistors-exclusive to the LVCH variant-and complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36 across its voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interfacing with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to legacy 5 V buses without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.1 ns (typ) at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data routing in timing-critical interfaces. |
| Bus Hold Current | ±75 μA at VCC = 3.0 V - Actively sustains input logic state without external biasing components. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during system power sequencing. |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP48 (SOT362-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 48 leads, 6.1 mm body width, 0.5 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 index marked; low-inductance multiple VCC/GND pins minimize ground bounce.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE (Pins 1, 48, 25, 24) | Active-low output enable control | Each enables/disables one 4-bit output group independently - enables flexible bus segmentation. |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3, 3A0–3A3, 4A0–4A3 (Pins 47,46,44,43 / 41,40,38,37 / 36,35,33,32 / 30,29,27,26) | Data inputs with bus hold | All 16 inputs retain last valid logic state without external pull-up/down - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3, 3Y0–3Y3, 4Y0–4Y3 (Pins 2,3,5,6 / 8,9,11,12 / 13,14,16,17 / 19,20,22,23) | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive loads up to ±24 mA; high-impedance OFF-state isolates bus segments during contention or idle periods. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity in high-speed switching. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths - critical for signal integrity in 16-bit parallel interfaces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Enables direct interconnection with 5 V microcontrollers, EEPROMs, and legacy peripherals without external level translators. |
| Integrated bus hold | Eliminates need for 16 external pull-up resistors - saves PCB space, reduces assembly cost, and improves reliability. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents destructive back-current when VCC is off but I/O lines remain live - essential for hot-swap and modular systems. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Accepts slow-rising/falling waveforms (e.g., from mechanical switches or long traces) without oscillation or metastability. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 11.4 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes switching power in high-frequency data paths while maintaining speed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC16244ADGG | No bus hold; identical pinout, voltage range, and 5 V tolerance. | Requires external pull-up resistors on unused inputs - increases BOM and layout complexity. | Select when bus hold is unnecessary and cost minimization is prioritized over design simplicity. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Texas Instruments variant; same electrical specs but different thermal resistance and qualification testing. | Approved for TI-specific automotive programs; not qualified to Nexperia's AEC-Q100 Grade 1 profile. | Choose only if aligned with TI-based design ecosystems or existing TI-qualified BOMs. |

FAQ
Does 74LVCH16244AEV,518 support hot-plug operation?
Yes. Its IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 μA when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current flow from live I/O lines into a powered-down device - a core requirement for hot-swap backplane and modular system designs.
What is the function of bus hold, and how does it differ from standard weak pull-up?
Bus hold uses feedback transistors to actively maintain the last-valid logic state at each data input, drawing ±75 μA at VCC = 3.0 V. Unlike passive pull-ups, it provides stronger, voltage-independent retention and eliminates resistor placement, value selection, and parasitic loading concerns.
Can this device translate between 1.8 V and 5 V logic levels bidirectionally?
No. It is a unidirectional buffer: inputs accept 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC, but outputs swing only between GND and VCC (1.2–3.6 V). For true bidirectional level translation, a dedicated dual-supply translator such as TXB0108 is required.
Is the TSSOP48 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The 74LVCH16244AEV,518 in SOT362-1 (TSSOP48) meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with 100 % matte tin lead finish and lead-free solder reflow profiles compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020.
