Product details
Overview
74LVCH32244AEC/G557 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for voltage translation between 1.2 V–3.6 V logic domains and 5 V interfaces. It features eight independent output-enable inputs (1OE–8OE), bus-hold on all data inputs, and 5 V tolerant I/Os. It enables reliable signal buffering in mixed-voltage memory and peripheral buses.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 datasheet, 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 pinout, 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 application, or 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V input/output tolerance, bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull-ups, 3.6 V max supply, −40 °C to +85 °C operation, and LFBGA96 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 implements eight independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (nOE). Its Si-gate CMOS architecture supports operation from 1.2 V to 3.6 V while maintaining 5 V tolerance on all I/O pins - enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL and LVTTL systems without level shifters.
Each of the 32 data inputs includes an integrated bus-hold circuit that sustains valid logic states without external biasing; control inputs (nOE) lack bus-hold. The device uses low-inductance multiple VCC and GND balls in its LFBGA96 package to minimize ground bounce and switching noise in high-speed parallel bus applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 32-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with independent 3-state control per 4-bit group |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to 1.2 V while retaining full 5 V I/O tolerance |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Inputs and outputs withstand up to 5.5 V - enables safe connection to 5 V buses during power sequencing or fault conditions |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications |
| Propagation Delay | 1.1 ns (min) to 4.1 ns (max) at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - ensures timing integrity in high-speed address/data bus buffering |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±10 µA to ±75 µA (VCC-dependent) - actively holds unused inputs at valid logic levels, removing need for external pull-up/down resistors |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V, CDM >1000 V - robust handling during board assembly and system integration |
Pinout & Package
74LVCH32244AEC/G557 is packaged in a plastic low-profile fine-pitch ball grid array (LFBGA96) with 96 solder balls, body dimensions 13.5 mm × 5.5 mm × 1.05 mm. The package provides low-inductance power delivery via eight VCC and sixteen GND balls distributed across the array.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC32244PAG | Same 32-bit non-inverting architecture, 5 V tolerant I/O, but in 100-pin TQFP package (14 × 20 mm); no bus-hold circuit | Requires external pull-up resistors on unused inputs; better suited for through-hole prototyping or thermal-relief-friendly layouts | Select when board space allows larger footprint and bus-hold is managed externally |
| 74ALVC32244BQ | Identical pinout and function, but specified only to +125 °C; higher ICC (160 µA max vs. 40 µA) and slightly slower tpd (up to 5.5 ns) | Targeted for extended-temperature automotive or aerospace use where industrial grade is insufficient | Select only if +125 °C operation is mandatory and higher leakage/current is acceptable |
Compared with SN74LVC32244PAG and 74ALVC32244BQ, the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 uniquely combines bus-hold, LFBGA96 miniaturization, and lowest typical ICC (0.1 µA), making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power industrial and embedded designs requiring zero-external-bias I/O robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 is +6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Operation above 3.6 V risks violating JEDEC compliance and may degrade long-term reliability. The 5 V I/O tolerance applies independently to input and output pins - not to VCC.
Does the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 require external pull-up resistors on its data inputs?
No - the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 integrates bus-hold circuitry on all 32 data inputs (1A[0:3]–8A[0:3]), which actively maintains valid logic states without external components. Control inputs (1OE–8OE) do not have bus-hold and must be actively driven or pulled to VCC/GND as needed.
Can the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 safely interface with 5 V logic while powered from 1.8 V?
Yes - the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 is fully 5 V tolerant on all I/O pins when VCC is as low as 1.2 V. Inputs accept 0–5.5 V, and outputs drive to valid HIGH/LOW levels relative to VCC while tolerating up to 5.5 V in 3-state mode. This enables true mixed-voltage translation without level shifters.
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND balls in the LFBGA96 package of the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557?
The 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 uses eight VCC and sixteen GND balls to minimize power delivery impedance and suppress ground bounce during simultaneous switching of multiple outputs. This design reduces noise coupling into sensitive analog sections and improves timing margin in high-speed parallel bus applications.
How does the 74LVCH32244AEC/G557 ensure high-impedance state during power-up?
To guarantee high-impedance outputs at power-up, each nOE pin (1OE–8OE) must be tied to VCC through an external pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; NXP recommends verifying against the driver's IOH specification to avoid unintended activation during ramp-up.
