Product details
Overview
74LVTH162244ZQLR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit buffer/driver with 3-state outputs in a 56-ball VFBGA (ZQL) package, supporting mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V interfacing, sourcing/sinking ±12 mA per output, and featuring integrated 22-Ω series output resistors for overshoot/undershoot suppression - used in high-speed bus interface applications between legacy 5-V logic and modern low-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH162244ZQLR datasheet, 74LVTH162244ZQLR pinout, 74LVTH162244ZQLR application, or 74LVTH162244ZQLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its −55°C to +125°C extended temperature rating, Ioff-enabled hot-insertion support, bus-hold inputs eliminating external biasing, distributed VCC/GND pins for noise reduction, and flow-through pinout optimizing PCB layout in space-constrained industrial and aerospace designs.
Technical Context
The 74LVTH162244ZQLR implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (OE), enabling flexible partitioning as one 16-bit, two 8-bit, or four 4-bit drivers. Its ABT (Advanced BiCMOS Technology) architecture integrates TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while operating at 3.3-V VCC, allowing direct connection to 5-V signal sources without level shifters.
It features power-up/power-down 3-state control and Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backdrive current during hot insertion. Bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on undriven inputs, and distributed VCC/GND ball placement minimizes simultaneous switching noise in high-density layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.5 V to 5.5 V - enables robust 5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V supply |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA per Y pin - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate capacitive buses |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 1.1 ns to 4.6 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V - ensures sub-5-ns timing for high-speed address/data buffering |
| Bus-Hold Input Current | ±75 µA typical - actively holds floating inputs without external pullup/pulldown resistors |
| Ioff Leakage | ±100 µA @ VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow current during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial, defense, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH162244ZQLR uses a 56-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA) package designated ZQL (Pb-free), measuring 7.0 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.9 mm (max height), with JEDEC-standard footprint and solder mask-defined pads optimized for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 4-bit buffer group; asserted low enables corresponding Y outputs |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | 16 total TTL-compatible inputs with bus-hold; no external biasing required |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True buffered outputs | 16 outputs with integrated 22-Ω series resistors - eliminates need for discrete termination |
| VCC (Balls C3, C4, H3, H4, G7, G8, J7, J8) | Power supply | Distributed across 8 balls to reduce IR drop and high-frequency impedance in high-speed switching |
| GND (Balls B3, B4, D3, D4, F7, F8, H7, H8, J3, J4) | Ground reference | 10 dedicated ground balls minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and improve signal integrity |
| NC (Balls A2–A5, K2, K5) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage interface | 5-V-tolerant inputs and outputs operate reliably with 3.3-V VCC - eliminates external level translators in hybrid-voltage systems |
| Integrated 22-Ω output series resistors | Reduces overshoot/undershoot without discrete components - simplifies layout and improves signal fidelity on FR4 PCBs |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state ensure safe insertion into live backplanes - critical for modular avionics and telecom line cards |
| Flow-through pinout architecture | Input and output balls arranged linearly across opposite sides - enables straight trace routing and minimizes layer count |
| Distributed VCC/GND ball placement | 8 VCC and 10 GND balls interleaved across the array - lowers power delivery impedance and suppresses simultaneous switching noise |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LVTH162244ZQLR?
The 74LVTH162244ZQLR is fully specified for operation from −55°C to +125°C, meeting extended-temperature requirements for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. This rating is validated per TI's production test flow for the ZQL package variant and is distinct from the commercial −40°C to +85°C versions like the DGG or DL packages. The 74LVTH162244ZQLR maintains full electrical compliance across this entire range, including Ioff, bus-hold, and 3-state behavior.
Does the 74LVTH162244ZQLR require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its inputs?
No, the 74LVTH162244ZQLR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (A1–A16), which maintains a valid logic state when inputs are floating or undriven. TI explicitly advises against using external pullup or pulldown resistors with bus-hold enabled, as they may interfere with the internal hold current (±75 µA typical). This feature eliminates BOM items and layout complexity in systems with unterminated stubs or infrequently driven control lines.
How does the 74LVTH162244ZQLR support hot-insertion in live backplane systems?
The 74LVTH162244ZQLR supports hot-insertion via dual mechanisms: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backdrive current into powered-down sections, and power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above 1.5 V. These features are production-tested per TI's specifications and allow safe insertion into energized 5-V/3.3-V hybrid backplanes without disrupting adjacent modules - a requirement verified in MIL-STD-1399 and DO-254 avionics designs.
What is the purpose of the integrated 22-Ω series resistors on the 74LVTH162244ZQLR outputs?
The 74LVTH162244ZQLR integrates 22-Ω series resistors on all 16 output pins (Y1–Y16) to dampen signal reflections and suppress overshoot/undershoot on transmission lines. This eliminates the need for discrete 22-Ω SMT resistors in series with each output, reducing PCB real estate, assembly steps, and potential impedance mismatches. Measured VOLP (output ground bounce) remains below 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V, confirming effective noise suppression in high-speed switching scenarios.
Can the 74LVTH162244ZQLR be used to interface 5-V logic signals directly to a 3.3-V FPGA?
Yes, the 74LVTH162244ZQLR is explicitly designed for this mixed-mode interface: its inputs accept 0 V to 5.5 V signals while operating from a 3.3-V supply, and its outputs drive 3.3-V logic levels compatible with FPGA I/O banks configured for LVTTL or LVCMOS33 standards. The device meets VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V thresholds under all recommended conditions, ensuring reliable detection of 5-V TTL logic states without external level-shifting circuitry.
