Product details
Overview
74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with bus hold on all data inputs, 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply operation, 5.5 V tolerant inputs, and DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) package. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 datasheet, 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 pinout, 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 application, or 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include bus hold functionality, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C), 3-state timing (tpd ≤ 7.5 ns at 3.3 V), and DHVQFN20 thermal performance for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer groups (1A0–1A3 / 2A0–2A3), each controlled by dedicated active-low output enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Schmitt-trigger inputs provide noise immunity against slow-rising signals common in automotive harnesses.
Bus hold circuitry actively maintains data input states without external pull-ups-critical for unconnected or floating lines in modular ECUs. The DHVQFN20 package features side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection in high-reliability automotive assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports low-power microcontrollers and mixed-voltage domain interfacing |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to legacy 5 V sensors or CAN transceivers without level shifters |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | ≤ 7.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing compliance in high-speed data acquisition paths |
| Bus hold current (IBHL/IBHH) | ±60 μA to ±75 μA - sustains valid logic levels on unused inputs, eliminating BOM cost of external resistors |
| Ambient temperature range | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood ECU deployment |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets automotive robustness requirements for handling and board assembly |
| Output drive strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces and connectors |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1), 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks, no leads, 20-terminal layout with exposed thermal pad (GND-connected).

| 1OE, 2OE (pins 1, 19) | Active-low output enable | Independent control of Group 1 and Group 2 outputs; enables selective bus isolation |
| VCC (pin 20) | Power supply | 1.2–3.6 V digital supply; powers internal logic and bus hold circuitry |
| GND (pin 10) | Ground reference | 0 V reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; thermal pad must be connected to GND plane |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC244ABQ-Q100 | No bus hold circuit; identical pinout, timing, and supply specs | Requires external pull-up resistors on unused inputs; less suitable for modular or field-upgradeable designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs design flexibility and BOM simplification benefits |
| SN74LVC244AQDRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same electrical specs but different thermal profile and AOI capability | Larger footprint and lower thermal conductivity than DHVQFN20; unsuitable for ultra-dense ECU layouts | Choose only if existing TSSOP reflow infrastructure prohibits DHVQFN20 adoption |

FAQ
What is the function of the bus hold circuit in the 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100?
The bus hold circuit actively maintains the last valid logic state on each data input (1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3) when the input is floating or disconnected, drawing ±60–75 μA to sustain voltage levels. It eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB area-particularly valuable in modular automotive ECUs with configurable I/O.
Can the 74LVCH244ABQ-Q100 interface directly with 5 V TTL devices?
Yes-the device accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.2–3.6 V), and its outputs are 5 V tolerant in 3-state mode. This allows direct connection to 5 V TTL or CMOS logic without level-shifting components, making it suitable for bridging legacy 5 V subsystems (e.g., instrument clusters) with modern 3.3 V MCUs in automotive gateways.
How does the DHVQFN20 package improve manufacturability in automotive production?
The SOT764-1 DHVQFN20 package features side-wettable flanks that enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints-a critical requirement for zero-defect automotive assembly. Its 2.5 × 4.5 mm footprint and 0.85 mm height also support high-density placement in space-constrained engine control units, while the exposed thermal pad improves heat dissipation under continuous 125 °C ambient conditions.
What is the maximum propagation delay at 125 °C ambient temperature?
At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = +125 °C, the maximum propagation delay (tpd) is 7.5 ns for input-to-output transitions and 9.5 ns for enable-to-output transitions (ten), as specified in Table 7 of the datasheet. These values are guaranteed across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range and form the basis for timing closure in real-time automotive control loops.
