Product details
Overview
74LVTH244ADB,112 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V octal buffer/line driver with dual 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing in high-speed digital systems. It operates across 2.7 V to 3.6 V, delivers ±32 mA/±64 mA drive capability, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, and features bus hold on all data inputs-enabling robust signal integrity in industrial control backplanes and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH244ADB,112 datasheet, 74LVTH244ADB,112 pinout, 74LVTH244ADB,112 application, or 74LVTH244ADB,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPZH ≤ 5.2 ns), overvoltage-tolerant inputs, IOFF power-down behavior, and SO20 package compatibility with legacy 74-series layouts.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS device implements two independent 4-bit 3-state buffers controlled by active-low OE pins (1OE, 2OE), enabling selective isolation of two 4-bit data paths. Each output supports TTL-level interfacing and drives loads up to 64 mA low / 32 mA high while maintaining rail-to-rail input tolerance up to 5.5 V.
The integrated bus hold circuitry actively maintains logic state on unused inputs without external pull-ups, and IOFF functionality ensures near-zero leakage (< ±100 µA) when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down operation in modular systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 3.3 V LVTTL and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to +5.5 V - Supports 5 V-tolerant inputs for seamless connection to legacy TTL buses. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - Sustains strong sink/source capability for driving terminated transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.1 ns @ 3.3 V - Ensures sub-5 ns timing margins in 100 MHz+ address/data bus applications. |
| Bus Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 µA, IBHH = –150 to –75 µA - Actively retains logic state on floating inputs without external resistors. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 µA @ VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-driving and signal corruption during power sequencing or hot insertion. |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Meets industrial-grade ESD robustness per JS-001/JS-002 standards. |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH244ADB,112 is packaged in SO20 (SOT163-1), a 20-pin plastic small outline package with 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint compatible with automated assembly and legacy PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls four outputs each; HIGH forces high-impedance OFF-state for bus isolation. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | 1A0–1A3 | Data inputs for first 4-bit buffer group; accept 5.5 V-tolerant signals regardless of VCC. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | 2A0–2A3 | Data inputs for second 4-bit buffer group; support independent enable control and bus hold. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y0–1Y3 | 3-state outputs for first group; driven only when 1OE = LOW; high-Z otherwise. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9 | 2Y0–2Y3 | 3-state outputs for second group; isolated from first group via separate OE control. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); required for stable biasing and noise immunity. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply (2.7–3.6 V); powers internal BiCMOS circuitry and defines logic thresholds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal 3-state buffering | Two independent 4-bit channels with dedicated OE pins enable flexible bus segmentation and load management. |
| 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 5 V legacy peripherals or microcontrollers. |
| Integrated bus hold | Maintains defined logic state on unconnected inputs using internal feedback-no external pull-up/pull-down resistors required. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents current flow through powered-off outputs, avoiding bus contention during power sequencing or hot-swap events. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Robust clamping and IOFF behavior allow safe board replacement in powered-backplane systems without system shutdown. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Memory Expansion Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU address/data bus from peripheral cards in modular PLC racks with shared backplane wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 3-state buffer providing controlled signal routing between master and slave slots with precise enable timing. Use Value: Dual OE control allows staggered activation of card groups, reducing simultaneous switching noise and meeting <5 ns propagation delay requirements. | Use Scenario: Extending SRAM or Flash memory capacity on embedded controller boards where address lines must be shared across multiple devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Address line driver with bus hold ensuring stable addressing during memory select transitions and power-up initialization. Use Value: 5.5 V input tolerance permits direct connection to 5 V memory chips; IOFF prevents backfeed during memory power-down sequences. |
| Legacy TTL System Upgrade | Hot-Swappable I/O Module |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete 74ACT244 in 3.3 V upgraded control systems while retaining existing 5 V sensor/actuator interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating buffer bridging 3.3 V logic domain and 5 V analog I/O subsystems without discrete translators. Use Value: Guaranteed 5.5 V input tolerance and TTL-compatible thresholds eliminate redesign of sensor interface PCBs. | Use Scenario: Enabling field-replaceable I/O modules in factory automation controllers where modules are inserted/removed under power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus isolation gate with live-insertion support, managing signal integrity during mechanical mating/unmating transients. Use Value: IOFF and bus hold prevent glitches on shared bus during connector engagement; tPZL/tPHZ < 5.2 ns ensures fast recovery post-insertion. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower drive (+24 mA/–24 mA), 1.65–3.6 V supply, no bus hold or IOFF | Suitable for low-power, non-hot-swap designs where external pull-ups are acceptable | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs robustness needs and 5 V tolerance is not required |
| 74ALVCH244PW | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.1 ns), same 3.3 V range, includes bus hold but no IOFF | Better for ultra-high-speed data paths where power-down isolation is secondary | Choose for timing-critical applications needing faster propagation but accepting reduced power sequencing safety |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and 74ALVCH244PW, the 74LVTH244ADB,112 uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, IOFF, and bus hold-making it the only option among the three qualified for industrial hot-swap and mixed-voltage backplane use without supplemental circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVTH244ADB,112 can tolerate?
The device accepts input voltages from –0.5 V to +5.5 V, independent of VCC, enabling direct connection to 5 V logic families without level-shifting circuitry. This rating is validated per absolute maximum limits and applies across the full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Does the 74LVTH244ADB,112 support hot insertion?
Yes-it supports live insertion and extraction due to integrated IOFF circuitry that disables output current flow when VCC = 0 V, combined with bus hold to maintain input states and robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM). These features prevent bus contention and signal corruption during mechanical mating.
How does the bus hold function operate without external components?
Internal weak-feedback transistors actively pull floating inputs toward their last valid logic state, drawing 75–150 µA for LOW and –75 to –150 µA for HIGH. This eliminates external pull-up/down resistors while maintaining noise margin and preventing metastability in unterminated traces.
What is the difference between 74LVTH244A and 74LVT244A variants?
The 'H' suffix denotes enhanced drive strength: 74LVTH244A delivers +64 mA sink / –32 mA source versus +32 mA / –32 mA for 74LVT244A. Both share identical pinout, bus hold, IOFF, and 5.5 V input tolerance-but LVTH is specified for higher fan-out and heavier capacitive loads.
