Product details
Overview
74LVX244SJX from ON Semiconductor is a low-voltage octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with dual 3-STATE outputs, designed for memory address and clock distribution in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 2.0V to 3.6V, tolerates 5.5V inputs, delivers ±24mA drive strength, and supports simultaneous switching noise control per JEDEC J-STD-020B Pb-free SOP packaging.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX244SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3.3V-compatible I/O translation, dual independent output-enable control (OE1/OE2), guaranteed AC timing at 3.3V ±0.3V, and EIAJ TYPE II 20-pin SOP (M20D) package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The 74LVX244SJX implements two independent 4-bit groups (I0–I3/O0–O3 and I4–I7/O4–O7), each controlled by separate 3-STATE enable inputs OE1 (pins 12,14,16,18) and OE2 (pins 3,5,7,9). Its input structure supports 5V-tolerant logic levels while operating from a 3.3V supply, enabling direct interfacing between legacy 5V peripherals and modern low-voltage buses.
AC performance is specified across VCC = 2.7V and 3.3V ±0.3V, with propagation delays as low as 4.7ns (tPLH, CL=15pF) and output skew ≤1.5ns. The device meets simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and dynamic threshold requirements defined in its datasheet, ensuring signal integrity in high-density PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6V); lower VOL (0.55V @ 24mA) but no 5.5V input tolerance. | Requires external clamping for 5V inputs; better suited for pure 3.3V or 2.5V-only systems. | Select when full 5V-tolerance is unnecessary and tighter VOL is critical for downstream logic thresholds. |
| 74ALVC244MTCX | Faster tPLH (3.2ns @ 3.3V, CL=15pF); higher ICC (100µA typical); same M20D package. | Higher speed comes at cost of increased static power and reduced noise margin vs. LVX family. | Choose for timing-critical applications where sub-4ns delay outweighs quiescent current and SSN requirements. |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and 74ALVC244MTCX, the 74LVX244SJX uniquely balances 5.5V input tolerance, industrial temperature support, and verified simultaneous switching noise control-making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control and legacy peripheral interfacing where reliability trumps raw speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for 74LVX244SJX?
The 74LVX244SJX supports DC input voltages from 0V to 5.5V, independent of VCC. This 5.5V tolerance allows direct connection to 5V logic sources while operating from a 3.3V supply-no external level-shifting circuitry is needed. Absolute maximum ratings specify VI up to 7.0V, but functional operation is guaranteed only within 0V–5.5V per the recommended operating conditions table in the datasheet.
Does 74LVX244SJX support true bidirectional data flow?
No, the 74LVX244SJX is a unidirectional octal buffer: inputs (I0–I7) drive corresponding outputs (O0–O7) with non-inverting logic. Bidirectional operation requires external control logic to manage OE1/OE2 and coordinate direction-e.g., using one group for transmit and another for receive in half-duplex protocols. The device itself does not contain internal direction control or bus transceiver logic.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) for the 74LVX244SJX in its M20D package?
The 74LVX244SJX in the Pb-free EIAJ TYPE II 20-pin SOP (M20D) package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W under standard JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions (single-layer 1-in² copper pad). This value assumes no internal thermal vias or enhanced PCB copper; actual θJA will improve with proper thermal land design and airflow in the end application.
Can 74LVX244SJX be used in automotive applications?
The 74LVX244SJX is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it may function in under-hood or infotainment environments, ON Semiconductor explicitly excludes this device from use in safety-critical automotive systems-including ADAS, powertrain, or body control modules-due to lack of automotive-grade qualification, stress testing, and failure-in-time (FIT) data.
How does the 3-STATE enable architecture of 74LVX244SJX differ from single-enable octal buffers?
The 74LVX244SJX features two independent active-low 3-STATE enables-OE1 controls outputs O0–O3, and OE2 controls O4–O7-enabling granular bus partitioning. Unlike single-enable buffers (e.g., 74LVX240), this allows concurrent driving of two independent 4-bit data paths or staggered bus release to reduce ground bounce, directly supporting multi-segment memory or peripheral addressing schemes.
