Product details
Overview
74LVT2244D,118 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V octal 3-state buffer/line driver with integrated 30 Ω series output termination resistors, designed for high-speed memory address and clock bus driving in industrial embedded systems. It features dual independent 4-bit sections (1A/1Y and 2A/2Y), two active-low output enables (1OE, 2OE), bus hold on all inputs, and ±12 mA drive capability at 3.3 V.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT2244D,118 datasheet, 74LVT2244D,118 pinout, 74LVT2244D,118 application, or 74LVT2244D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 Ω on-die termination for noise reduction, overvoltage-tolerant 5.5 V inputs, IOFF partial power-down support, and SO20 (SOT163-1) package compatibility with legacy LVT logic layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVT2244D implements BiCMOS output stages with matched 30 Ω series resistance in both HIGH and LOW states-verified per Figure 3-enabling direct connection to transmission lines without external termination. Its dual 4-bit architecture allows independent control of two 4-bit buses via separate 1OE and 2OE signals.
Bus hold circuitry maintains defined logic states on unused inputs without external pull-ups, while IOFF protection ensures low leakage (<±100 μA) when VCC = 0 V, supporting live insertion and hot-swap operation. Input tolerance up to 5.5 V permits interfacing with 5 V TTL systems while operating from a 3.3 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances and brown-out conditions. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA - Sufficient to drive four 50 Ω transmission lines simultaneously without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–4.4 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - Supports >200 MHz bus timing in memory and clock distribution paths. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows direct interface with 5 V TTL logic without level shifters. |
| Termination Resistance | 30 Ω (series, both states) - Reduces ringing and overshoot on PCB traces up to 15 cm in length. |

Pinout & Package
74LVT2244D,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20, SOT163-1) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width, optimized for surface-mount reflow assembly and legacy footprint compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enable controls for Group 1 (pins 2,4,6,8 → 1Y0–1Y3) and Group 2 (pins 11,13,15,17 → 2Y0–2Y3). |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A0–1A3 | Data inputs for first 4-bit buffer section; feature bus hold and 5.5 V tolerant inputs. |
| 11,13,15,17 | 2A0–2A3 | Data inputs for second 4-bit buffer section; identical electrical characteristics to 1A group. |
| 12,14,16,18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | 3-state outputs with integrated 30 Ω series termination; driven by 1A inputs when 1OE = LOW. |
| 3,5,7,9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs with integrated 30 Ω series termination; driven by 2A inputs when 2OE = LOW. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance PCB return path. |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 30 Ω Output Termination | Eliminates need for eight discrete series resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-density bus designs. |
| Dual Independent 4-bit Control | Enables selective buffering of two separate data lanes (e.g., address vs. control) using dedicated OE pins. |
| Bus Hold Inputs | Prevents floating inputs from oscillating or drawing excess current-critical for unpopulated or configurable bus segments. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Restricts leakage to <±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion into powered-backplane systems. |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant Inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V logic levels regardless of VCC state, enabling mixed-voltage system interoperability without translators. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVT2244PW,118 | TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package; 4.4 mm body width; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Better thermal performance in high-density layouts; requires finer-pitch reflow profile. | Select for space-constrained PCBs where SO20 footprint is unavailable. |
| SN74LVC244APWR | 3.3 V only (no 5.5 V input tolerance); 24 mA drive; no integrated termination; different pinout. | Lacks on-die 30 Ω resistors and bus hold; requires external termination and pull-ups. | Choose only if higher drive strength is needed and board-level termination is acceptable. |
Compared with 74LVT2244D,118, the PW variant offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but tighter assembly requirements, while the SN74LVC244APWR trades integrated termination and input tolerance for higher output current-making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement without layout and schematic changes.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the 30 Ω series termination in the 74LVT2244D,118?
The 30 Ω series termination is integrated into each output stage to match typical PCB trace impedance (50–75 Ω) and suppress signal reflections. It reduces ringing and overshoot on memory address and clock lines up to 15 cm long, eliminating the need for eight discrete resistors and improving signal integrity without altering layout.
Can 74LVT2244D,118 be used with a 5 V microcontroller outputting to its inputs?
Yes-the inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. When powered from 3.3 V, the device accepts standard 5 V TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) directly, enabling seamless interface with legacy 5 V controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
How does bus hold functionality operate on unused inputs?
Bus hold circuitry applies weak feedback (IBHL = +75 μA, IBHH = −75 μA at 3 V) to maintain the last valid logic state on floating inputs. This prevents undefined states, reduces EMI from oscillating inputs, and removes the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unconnected data lines.
Is the 74LVT2244D,118 suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes-its IOFF circuitry limits power-off leakage to <±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, and the bus hold function maintains defined states during insertion. Combined with live-insertion-rated packaging and latch-up immunity (>500 mA), it supports safe hot-plug operation in modular backplane systems.
