Product details
Overview
74LVCH32244AEC,557 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 32-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-voltage system interfacing. It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, tolerates 5 V inputs/outputs up to 5.5 V, features bushold on all data inputs, and delivers 3.0 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V - enabling reliable signal buffering in high-density memory and bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 datasheet, 74LVCH32244AEC,557 pinout, 74LVCH32244AEC,557 application, or 74LVCH32244AEC,557 equivalent, this device is selected for 3.3 V core logic systems requiring 5 V-tolerant I/O, low-noise 3-state control, and elimination of external pull-up resistors via integrated bushold circuitry.
Technical Context
The 74LVCH32244AEC,557 implements eight independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by an active-low 3-state output enable (1OE–8OE). Its Si-gate CMOS architecture supports simultaneous 3.3 V operation and 5 V signal handling without level shifters.
All 32 data inputs include bushold circuitry that sustains logic states without external biasing; outputs drive ±24 mA at 3.0 V while maintaining VOH ≥ VCC − 0.8 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V under full load - critical for noise-immune backplane and memory module designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into low-voltage SoC subsystems while supporting legacy 3.3 V rails. |
| Input/Output Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V buses without clamping diodes or external protection. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0 ns typical (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures timing compliance in high-speed address/data latching paths. |
| Bushold Input Circuitry | Integrated on all 32 data inputs - eliminates need for 32 external pull-up resistors, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | 3.5 ns enable / 3.7 ns disable (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - minimizes bus contention windows in multiplexed memory or peripheral interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control environments. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, MM > 200 V - provides robust handling during PCB assembly and field service. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 32-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC32244PAG | TI version in 96-pin TQFP (not BGA); identical 1.2–3.6 V range and 5 V tolerance but higher 4.5 ns max tPHL. | Preferred for prototyping or manual soldering due to QFP package; less suitable for high-density BGA-only layouts. | Select when board rework or hand-assembly is required and BGA placement is impractical. |
| 74ALVCH32244AEC,557 | Same pinout and function but higher speed grade (1.65–3.6 V, 2.6 ns typical tPHL); not rated for 1.2 V operation. | Used in performance-critical telecom line cards where sub-3 ns propagation is mandatory. | Choose only if system requires faster timing and can guarantee ≥1.65 V supply; otherwise 74LVCH32244AEC,557 offers broader voltage flexibility. |
Compared with SN74LVC32244PAG and 74ALVCH32244AEC,557, the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 uniquely balances ultra-wide 1.2 V minimum supply, full 5.5 V I/O tolerance, and bushold-enabled BOM reduction - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial and automotive modules where voltage margin and layout simplicity are prioritized over peak speed.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage supported by the 74LVCH32244AEC,557?
The 74LVCH32244AEC,557 supports a minimum supply voltage of 1.2 V, verified across its full −40 °C to +85 °C operating range. This enables deployment in ultra-low-power subsystems such as battery-backed real-time clocks or energy-harvesting sensor nodes where traditional 3.3 V logic would be impractical. The 74LVCH32244AEC,557 maintains full 5 V I/O tolerance even at 1.2 V VCC.
Does the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 require external pull-up resistors on its data inputs?
No, the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 integrates bushold circuitry on all 32 data inputs, actively sustaining the last valid logic state without external components. This eliminates 32 pull-up resistors, reducing PCB area, BOM cost, and potential signal integrity issues from parasitic capacitance - a key advantage confirmed in the device's Functional Description and DC Characteristics tables.
What is the maximum output drive strength of the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 at 3.0 V supply?
At VCC = 3.0 V, the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 delivers ±24 mA output sink/source current per pin, with VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ VCC − 0.6 V under full load. These values are specified in the DC Characteristics table and validated across temperature, ensuring robust driving capability for terminated transmission lines and multiple TTL loads.
Can the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 be used in a 5 V-only system?
No - the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 must be powered from 1.2 V to 3.6 V; its VCC rating does not extend to 5 V. However, its inputs and outputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, allowing safe connection to 5 V buses while operating from a 3.3 V or lower supply. This dual-voltage capability is explicitly defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions and Limiting Values sections.
What package type is used for the 74LVCH32244AEC,557 and why is it significant?
The 74LVCH32244AEC,557 uses the LFBGA96 (SOT536-1) package: a 13.5 mm × 5.5 mm × 1.05 mm fine-pitch ball grid array with 96 balls on 0.5 mm pitch. Its significance lies in low-inductance power/ground distribution - 9 VCC and 16 GND balls minimize ground bounce and supply noise during simultaneous 32-bit switching, a requirement emphasized in the Features and Pinning sections.
