Product details
Overview
74VCXH162244 from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with bushold inputs and integrated 26Ω series output resistors, designed for memory address, clock, and bus transceiver applications operating from 1.4V to 3.6V VCC, delivering 12 mA IOH/IOL drive at 3.0V and 3.3 ns max tPD.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCXH162244 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nibble-level 3-STATE control, bushold input retention without external pull-ups, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, output-series termination, and TSSOP-48 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74VCXH162244 implements four independent 4-bit nibble groups, each with dedicated active-low Output Enable (OEn) inputs enabling selective 3-STATE control per group. Its bushold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on floating I0–I15 inputs without external biasing.
Each output integrates a 26Ω series resistor to suppress transmission-line reflections and reduce EMI in high-speed routing. The device operates across 1.4V–3.6V VCC, supports 3.6V-tolerant control and data I/O, and achieves ≤3.3 ns propagation delay at 3.3V with 30 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.4V to 3.6V - Enables direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains without level shifters. |
| IOH/IOL | ±12 mA @ 3.0V - Sufficient drive strength for fan-out to multiple CMOS loads or short traces. |
| tPD Max | 3.3 ns @ VCC = 3.3V - Supports >100 MHz clock/data rates in address or timing paths. |
| Output Series R | 26 Ω - Integrated termination reduces ringing and EMI on PCB traces driving memory or buses. |
| Bushold Current | 75 µA min @ VIN = 0.8V, VCC = 3.0V - Actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating external pull-up resistors. |
| 3-STATE Enable/Disable | tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 3.8 ns @ 3.3V - Fast output gating enables dynamic bus sharing with minimal contention window. |
Pinout & Package
74VCXH162244 is housed in a 48-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 6.1 mm wide, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows standard dual-row TSSOP convention, with pins 1–24 on top row (left to right) and 25–48 on bottom row (right to left).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEn (n=1–4) | Nibble 3-STATE Control Input (Active LOW) | Four independent enables (OE1–OE4) allow per-nibble output gating; shorting enables full 16-bit operation. |
| I0–I15 | Bushold Data Inputs | Non-inverting inputs with active hold circuitry retain last valid state when un-driven - no external pull resistors required. |
| O0–O15 | Buffered Outputs with 26Ω Series Resistor | Outputs drive external loads with built-in source termination; compatible with 50Ω transmission lines and reduced edge overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nibble-selectable 3-STATE control | Four independent OE inputs enable flexible bus partitioning - e.g., isolate memory banks or peripheral segments independently. |
| Integrated 26Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for discrete series termination components, saving board space and reducing signal integrity tuning effort. |
| Bushold inputs (I0–I15) | Maintains stable logic state on unused or disconnected inputs - prevents metastability and system glitches in hot-plug or partial-load scenarios. |
| 3.6V-tolerant I/O | Accepts 0–3.6V input signals and drives up to 3.6V outputs while powered from as low as 1.4V - simplifies mixed-voltage interface design. |
Applications
| Memory Address Driver | Clock Distribution Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address bus to SRAM or Flash memory in portable embedded systems with 1.8V core supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with per-nibble 3-STATE control isolates memory banks during page switching. Use Value: Bushold prevents floating address lines during chip select transitions; 26Ω outputs suppress ringing on parallel traces routed to memory devices. | Use Scenario: Distributing a 50 MHz system clock to multiple low-voltage peripherals (e.g., ADC, UART, GPIO expanders) on a 2.5V domain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, low-jitter line driver with fast enable/disable for clock gating. Use Value: 3.3 ns tPD and <0.5 ns skew ensure synchronous sampling; 3.6V tolerance allows interfacing with legacy 3.3V peripherals. |
| Bus Transceiver Interface | Low-Voltage I/O Expansion |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data buffering between a 1.8V FPGA and 3.3V peripheral ASIC on shared data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transmitter/receiver buffer with 3-STATE outputs controlled by direction logic. Use Value: 3.6V-tolerant I/O and 12 mA drive support robust voltage translation; 26Ω resistors dampen reflections on long bus runs. | Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count on an ultra-low-power microcontroller running at 1.4V VCC while interfacing with 3.3V sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting buffer with bushold protection for sparsely populated I/O headers. Use Value: Operates down to 1.4V VCC; bushold eliminates pull-up resistors on unused pins - critical for battery-powered designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC162244ADGGR | No bushold; no integrated series resistors; 1.65–3.6V VCC; 24 mA drive; 4.2 ns tPD. | Requires external pull-ups on unused inputs; needs discrete series termination for EMI control. | Preferred where higher drive strength and lower cost outweigh bushold convenience and built-in termination. |
| 74ALVC162244PAG | No bushold; no series resistors; 2.3–3.6V VCC; 24 mA drive; 3.2 ns tPD; different pinout (TSSOP-48 but incompatible mapping). | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; lacks low-voltage operation below 2.3V. | Consider only for 3.3V-only systems needing faster propagation and higher drive, with layout flexibility. |
Compared with SN74LVC162244ADGGR and 74ALVC162244PAG, the 74VCXH162244 uniquely combines bushold, integrated 26Ω termination, and 1.4V operation - making it optimal for compact, low-power, mixed-voltage bus interfaces where board space and reliability under floating conditions are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 74VCXH162244?
The 74VCXH162244 is fully specified to operate down to 1.4V VCC across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). At 1.4V, it delivers ±2 mA output drive and supports data retention functionality. Operation below 1.4V is not guaranteed and may result in undefined logic behavior or increased propagation delay.
Does the 74VCXH162244 require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No. The 74VCXH162244 features active bushold circuitry on all 16 data inputs (I0–I15), which maintains the last valid logic state when inputs are floating or un-driven. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area - a key advantage in space-constrained designs.
What is the purpose of the 26Ω series resistors in the 74VCXH162244 outputs?
The 26Ω series resistors integrated into each output of the 74VCXH162244 serve as source termination to match typical PCB trace impedances (≈50Ω), thereby suppressing signal reflections, reducing EMI, and minimizing overshoot/ringing - especially critical in memory address and clock distribution applications with fast edges and longer traces.
Is the 74VCXH162244 pin-compatible with standard 16-bit buffers like the 74LVC162244?
No. While both are 48-pin TSSOP devices, the 74VCXH162244 has a unique pinout optimized for nibble-level control (four separate OE inputs) and bushold inputs. It is not pin-compatible with 74LVC162244 or 74ALVC162244 - PCB layout must be designed specifically for the 74VCXH162244's pin mapping and signal grouping.
Can the 74VCXH162244 interface directly with 3.3V logic while powered from 1.8V?
Yes. All inputs and outputs of the 74VCXH162244 are 3.6V-tolerant, meaning they accept and drive signals up to 3.6V regardless of VCC (1.4V–3.6V). When powered from 1.8V, it can safely receive 3.3V control or data signals and drive 3.3V loads - enabling seamless level translation without external circuitry.
