Product details
Overview
74LVT244APW-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified 3.3 V octal 3-state buffer/line driver in TSSOP20 package, featuring dual output enables (1OE, 2OE), ±64 mA/−32 mA drive capability, and 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs-designed for automotive bus interface applications including CAN/LIN subsystem data routing and ECU I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT244APW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVT244APW-Q100 pinout, 74LVT244APW-Q100 application, or 74LVT244APW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40 °C to +85 °C automotive temperature range, bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups, IOFF partial power-down mode, and compatibility with TTL-level logic in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS octal buffer implements two independent 4-bit groups, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE for Y0–Y3, 2OE for Y0–Y3), enabling selective bus isolation without propagation delay penalties. Its input structure supports live insertion/extraction and tolerates 5.5 V inputs while operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V VCC.
The device integrates bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3), maintaining valid logic states during high-impedance conditions, and features IOFF protection that disables output leakage when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-swap and power sequencing in automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation across automotive battery transients and LDO tolerance bands. |
| IOH/IOL | −32 mA / +64 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 15 cm PCB traces) while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 64 mA. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 1 ns to 4.1 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - Supports >200 MHz bus toggle rates with deterministic timing margins. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with 5 V legacy controllers without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3 for under-hood and cabin ECU deployment. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA to ±150 μA - Holds unused inputs at valid logic levels, removing need for 10 kΩ external pull resistors. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA (VCC = 0 V) - Prevents back-driving of powered-down buses during partial system sleep modes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enables - independently disable Group 1 (pins 12,14,16,18) or Group 2 (pins 3,5,7,9). |
| 2,4,6,8 | 1A0–1A3 | Data inputs for first buffer group - feature bus-hold and 5.5 V tolerant inputs. |
| 11,13,15,17 | 2A0–2A3 | Data inputs for second buffer group - identical electrical behavior to 1A0–1A3. |
| 12,14,16,18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | 3-state outputs for Group 1 - sink up to 64 mA or source up to 32 mA. |
| 3,5,7,9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs for Group 2 - electrically isolated from Group 1; share no internal coupling. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - low-inductance return path for all I/O and supply currents. |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3 V supply - decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification | Validated for automotive use across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient, including thermal cycling and humidity testing. |
| BiCMOS output stage | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power - achieves 4.1 ns max propagation delay with <0.19 mA ICC supply current. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs enter high-Z and leakage drops to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed during hot-swap or battery disconnect. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0 V to 5.5 V signals regardless of VCC state - enables interoperability with 5 V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Bus-hold on all inputs | Eliminates external pull-up/pull-down resistors - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained ECUs. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) I/O Expansion | Instrument Cluster Display Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an 8-bit MCU to drive 16 discrete loads (LEDs, relays, sensors) in a vehicle BCM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal buffer isolating MCU pins from noisy 12 V loads; dual OE allows staggered activation to limit inrush current. Use Value: Bus-hold maintains safe default states during MCU reset; IOFF prevents backfeed when MCU is unpowered but 12 V loads remain active. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and buffering SPI or parallel data between a 3.3 V SoC and 5 V segment LCD driver in digital instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state line driver enabling bidirectional bus sharing; 4.1 ns propagation ensures timing compliance with 20 MHz display update clocks. Use Value: 5.5 V input tolerance eliminates external level translators; TSSOP20 footprint fits tight layout constraints near display connectors. |
| Powertrain Sensor Signal Conditioning | ADAS Camera Module Interface |
Use Scenario: Buffering analog sensor reference voltages and digital status flags (e.g., knock sensor, O2 heater control) in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, high-drive buffer isolating sensitive analog references from digital switching noise on shared PCB layers. Use Value: ±64 mA drive sustains signal integrity over 10 cm traces; −40 °C to +85 °C rating matches under-hood thermal requirements. |
Use Scenario: Isolating MIPI CSI-2 clock/data lanes or parallel camera interface signals between image sensor and host processor in surround-view systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state bus driver enabling dynamic reconfiguration of camera sensor selection without signal contention. Use Value: Dual OE permits independent gating of two 4-bit lanes; tPZL ≤ 5.2 ns ensures clean enable/disable transitions below 100 MHz pixel clocks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVTH244APW-Q100 | Higher drive strength: −64 mA / +64 mA (symmetric); slightly higher ICC (0.19 mA vs 0.13 mA) | Better suited for driving heavier capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) where symmetric sourcing/sinking is required | Select when load requires equal HIGH/LOW drive or when margin against VOL/VOH degradation is critical |
| SN74LVC244APWR | Non-automotive grade; rated −40 °C to +125 °C but not AEC-Q100 qualified; lower drive (−24 mA / +24 mA) | Applicable in industrial or consumer designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications with lighter bus loads and no functional safety requirements |
Compared with 74LVTH244APW-Q100, this part trades symmetric drive for lower static current and tighter VOL spec; versus SN74LVC244APWR, it adds AEC-Q100 qualification and 2.6× higher drive-justifying its use in safety-critical automotive signal routing where reliability outweighs cost.

FAQ
Can 74LVT244APW-Q100 be used with a 5 V microcontroller without level shifters?
Yes. Its inputs tolerate −0.5 V to +5.5 V regardless of VCC voltage, allowing direct connection to 5 V logic outputs. The device operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V VCC, so a 3.3 V supply must be provided-but no external level translation is needed for input signals.
What is the purpose of the IOFF feature, and how does it behave during power-down?
IOFF disables output leakage when VCC = 0 V, limiting current to ±100 μA even if outputs are pulled to 5 V. This prevents back-driving powered-down sections of a system-essential for hot-swap capable ECUs and modules undergoing partial power cycling in modern vehicle architectures.
How does the bus-hold function eliminate external pull-up resistors?
Each input has integrated weak keeper circuitry providing ±75 μA to ±150 μA holding current. When an input floats, bus-hold drives it to the last valid logic state (HIGH or LOW), maintaining defined logic levels without 10 kΩ external resistors-reducing component count and board space in dense automotive PCBs.
Is the TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes. The SOT360-1 package features side-wettable flanks-vertical sidewalls with exposed copper-enabling reliable AOI detection of solder joint quality on both top and side surfaces. This supports zero-defect manufacturing requirements in automotive electronics assembly lines.
