Product details
Overview
74LVCH32244AEC,518 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 32-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, 5 V-tolerant I/O, 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply operation, bushold inputs, and LFBGA96 packaging. It enables bidirectional voltage-level translation in mixed 3.3 V/5 V systems such as memory bus drivers and FPGA I/O expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 datasheet, 74LVCH32244AEC,518 pinout, 74LVCH32244AEC,518 application, or 74LVCH32244AEC,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V input/output tolerance, bushold input retention, 3.0 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, 3.5 ns output enable time, and LFBGA96 thermal/mechanical compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVCH32244AEC,518 implements eight independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by an active-low 3-state output enable (nOE). All 32 data inputs feature bushold circuitry, eliminating external pull-up resistors for floating inputs. Inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic while operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supplies.
Outputs drive 5 V loads in 3-state mode and support ±24 mA sink/source capability at 3.0 V. Propagation delay (tPHL/tPLH), enable time (tPZH/tPZL), and disable time (tPHZ/tPLZ) are all specified down to 1.2 V supply, with timing performance scaling linearly across the full voltage range. The device complies with JEDEC JESD8-B/JESD36 for low-voltage CMOS interface standards.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage supported by the 74LVCH32244AEC,518?
The 74LVCH32244AEC,518 operates down to 1.2 V, enabling ultra-low-power system designs and compatibility with emerging 1.2 V core logic domains. This specification is validated across the full −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range and confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official datasheet.
Does the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No, the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 features integrated bushold circuitry on all 32 data inputs, which actively maintains the last-valid logic state without external components. This eliminates the need for 32 discrete pull-up resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB area while improving reliability in floating-input scenarios.
Can the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 safely interface with 5 V logic while powered from 1.2 V?
Yes, the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 supports 5 V-tolerant inputs and outputs: inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, and outputs drive 5 V loads in 3-state mode. This allows direct connection to 5 V peripherals even when the device is powered from 1.2 V, verified under both Recommended Operating and Limiting Values conditions.
What is the pin-compatible alternative to the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 with higher speed?
The 74ALVCH32244AEC,518 is a pin-compatible, functionally identical alternative with enhanced performance: 2.3 ns typical propagation delay (vs. 3.0 ns), ±24 mA drive at 2.5 V (vs. 3.0 V), and operation from 1.65 V to 3.6 V. It shares the same LFBGA96 package and pinout, making it a direct upgrade path where tighter timing or lower voltage operation is needed.
How does the 74LVCH32244AEC,518 handle power-up sequencing to avoid bus contention?
The 74LVCH32244AEC,518 requires nOE pins to be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until system initialization completes. The datasheet specifies the minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability, preventing unintended bus conflicts before firmware configures the enable signals.
