Product details
Overview
74VCXH16244DTR from ON Semiconductor is a low-voltage, 16-bit non-inverting buffer IC with four independent nibble controls (OE1–OE4), 3.6 V-tolerant I/O, and operation down to 1.65 V supply. It delivers ±24 mA drive at 3.0 V, achieves 2.5 ns max propagation delay at 3.0–3.6 V, and integrates active bushold circuitry to eliminate external pullups-used in voltage-level translation between 1.8/2.5/3.3 V domains in FPGA I/O expansion and memory interface subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCXH16244DTR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 48-pin TSSOP package, 3-state output enable per nibble, IOFF protection at VCC = 0 V, sub-20 µA quiescent ICC, and verified 3.6 V tolerance on all I/O pins under mixed-supply system interfacing.
Technical Context
The 74VCXH16244DTR implements four independent 4-bit buffers, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (OE1–OE4), enabling selective 3-state activation per nibble without affecting other sections. Its bushold circuitry maintains valid logic states on floating inputs using internal feedback, eliminating external biasing components.
It supports live insertion and withdrawal via IOFF specification, guaranteeing high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V. AC performance is characterized across three VCC ranges: 1.65–1.95 V (6.0 ns max tPLH/tPHL), 2.3–2.7 V (3.0 ns), and 3.0–3.6 V (2.5 ns), with skew ≤0.75 ns between any two outputs switching in the same direction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains |
| Input/Output Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6 V - allows safe interfacing to higher-voltage busses without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) | 2.5 ns max - supports >300 MHz data rates in high-speed bus applications |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple CMOS inputs directly |

Pinout & Package
74VCXH16244DTR is housed in a Pb-free 48-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), case 1201, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and body dimensions 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm (L × W × H). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left.

| D0–D15 | Data Inputs | 16-bit parallel input bus; each accepts 1.65–3.6 V logic with bushold |
| O0–O15 | 3-State Outputs | Non-inverting buffered outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is HIGH |
| VCC (Pins 7, 21, 30, 42) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity |
| GND (Pins 5, 10, 15, 28, 34, 45) | Ground | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.6 V-tolerant I/O | Enables direct connection to 3.3 V busses while operating from 1.8 V or 2.5 V supplies - no external level translators required |
| Active bushold circuitry | Eliminates need for 10 kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors on unused inputs - reduces BOM count and board space |

| Low dynamic noise | VOLP ≤ 0.8 V and VOHV ≥ 2.2 V at 3.3 V (CL = 30 pF) - maintains signal integrity during simultaneous switching |
| Output-to-output skew | ≤ 0.75 ns - ensures deterministic timing alignment across all 16 outputs in synchronous bus designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V); no bushold; 1.65–3.6 V range; 48-pin TSSOP | Lacks bushold - requires external pullups on unused inputs; no IOFF spec | Choose when bushold and hot-swap are not required and cost is primary constraint |
| 74ALVC16244PW | Higher speed (2.1 ns @ 3.3 V); same VCC range; no bushold; 48-pin TSSOP; lower ICC (10 µA) | No IOFF or bushold; less robust for mixed-voltage hot-swap scenarios | Prefer for pure high-speed digital interconnect where power is critical and inputs are always driven |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and 74ALVC16244PW, the 74VCXH16244DTR uniquely combines bushold, IOFF, and 3.6 V tolerance - making it the only option among the three qualified for live-insertion systems with undriven inputs and multi-rail voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the 74VCXH16244DTR?
The 74VCXH16244DTR supports a recommended operating supply voltage up to 3.6 V DC. Absolute maximum VCC is +4.6 V, but sustained operation above 3.6 V violates specifications and risks reliability. The device is explicitly rated for 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation, with guaranteed 3.6 V-tolerant I/O regardless of VCC setting - critical for interfacing with 3.3 V busses while running at 1.8 V or 2.5 V.
Does the 74VCXH16244DTR require external pullup resistors on unused inputs?
No, the 74VCXH16244DTR does not require external pullup resistors on unused inputs due to its integrated active bushold circuitry. This feature sources or sinks current (±75 µA typical at 3.0 V) to hold floating inputs at valid logic thresholds. External resistors are unnecessary unless specific noise immunity requirements exceed bushold's capability - confirmed in the datasheet's "Features" and DC Electrical Characteristics tables.
Can the 74VCXH16244DTR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the 74VCXH16244DTR supports live insertion and withdrawal per its IOFF specification: when VCC = 0 V, output leakage is limited to 10 µA max, ensuring true high-impedance isolation. This, combined with 3.6 V-tolerant I/O, allows safe connection/disconnection to an active 3.3 V backplane without damaging the device or disturbing system operation - explicitly stated in the Features section and Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
What is the propagation delay of the 74VCXH16244DTR at 2.5 V supply?
At VCC = 2.3 V to 2.7 V, the 74VCXH16244DTR has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 3.0 ns under standard test conditions (CL = 30 pF, RL = 500 Ω, tR/tF = 2.0 ns). This value is measured from input transition (10% to 90%) to output transition and applies across all 16 channels - specified in the AC Characteristics table on page 5 of the datasheet.
How many independent output-enable controls does the 74VCXH16244DTR have?
The 74VCXH16244DTR has four independent output-enable inputs: OE1, OE2, OE3, and OE4 - one for each 4-bit nibble (D0–D3/O0–O3, D4–D7/O4–O7, etc.). Each OE pin is active-low; asserting it LOW enables the corresponding 4-bit outputs, while HIGH places them in high-impedance state. This nibble-level control is fundamental to its architecture and shown in Figures 1, 2, and the Truth Table.
