Product details
Overview
74VCX162244TTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state bus buffer with 3.6V-tolerant I/O, operating from 1.8V to 3.6V supply, delivering 3.4 ns max propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V, ±12 mA output drive, and integrated 26Ω series output resistors for noise suppression - used in low-voltage memory address/data bus interfacing between 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V domains.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCX162244TTR datasheet, 74VCX162244TTR pinout, 74VCX162244TTR application, or 74VCX162244TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage-domain bridging capability, output impedance control, latch-up immunity (>300 mA), ESD robustness (HBM >2 kV), and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low Output Enable (nG) input (pins 1, 24, 25, 48). All 16 outputs feature built-in 26Ω series termination to dampen signal reflections and reduce simultaneous switching noise in high-speed digital buses.
It supports mixed-voltage system interfacing: inputs and outputs tolerate up to 3.6V regardless of VCC (1.8–3.6V), enabling safe connection to legacy 3.3V or 3.6V logic while powered from lower-core supplies - critical for power-aware memory subsystems and FPGA I/O expansion.

| IOL / IOH (Min) | ±12 mA at VCC = 3.0V - drives standard CMOS loads with margin under worst-case VCC and temperature |
| IOH/IOZ Leakage | ±10 µA - ensures minimal current draw in high-impedance state, preserving bus integrity |
| Input/Output Tolerance | Up to 3.6V - allows direct interface to higher-voltage peripherals without external clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting 3-state bus buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC162244ADGGR | Lower VCC min (1.65V), no integrated 26Ω resistors, 3.3V-tolerant only (not 3.6V) | Requires external series termination for noise control; limited to ≤3.3V system interfaces | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for built-in termination and extended voltage tolerance |
| 74ALVC162244PW | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6V), same 3.6V tolerance, but higher ICC (max 40 µA vs. 20 µA) | Higher static power consumption; identical pinout and AC specs, but less suitable for ultra-low-power designs | Choose when legacy ALVC family compatibility is required and quiescent current is not constrained |
Compared with SN74LVC162244ADGGR and 74ALVC162244PW, the 74VCX162244TTR uniquely combines 3.6V I/O tolerance, integrated 26Ω termination, and 20 µA ICC - making it optimal for compact, low-noise, multi-voltage memory and FPGA bus interfaces where component count and signal integrity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74VCX162244TTR?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 3.4 ns maximum propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V implies reliable operation up to approximately 200–250 MHz for single-cycle bus transactions. Actual usable frequency depends on system-level factors including trace length, load capacitance, and timing margin requirements - validated through board-level signal integrity analysis.
Can the 74VCX162244TTR be used with a 1.8V supply while interfacing to 3.6V inputs?
Yes - all inputs are 3.6V-tolerant regardless of VCC, allowing safe connection to 3.6V signal sources even when powered from 1.8V. The outputs also swing rail-to-rail (0V to VCC) and tolerate 3.6V on pins in high-impedance state, satisfying mixed-voltage interface requirements without external protection circuitry.
How does the integrated 26Ω series resistor affect signal integrity?
The 26Ω resistor is placed in series with each output, forming a source termination that matches typical PCB trace impedances (50–75Ω) when combined with load capacitance. This reduces overshoot, undershoot, and crosstalk in high-speed parallel buses - verified by dynamic quiet-output measurements showing VOLP ≤ 0.35V and VOHV ≥ 2.65V at 3.3V VCC.
Is the 74VCX162244TTR pin-compatible with standard 74-series 162244 devices?
Yes - it is explicitly designed as pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 74-series 162244 bus buffers, including identical TSSOP-48 footprint and signal mapping. This enables drop-in replacement in existing designs while upgrading to lower voltage operation, improved speed, and enhanced ESD/latch-up performance without PCB redesign.
