Product details
Overview
CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified octal 3-state buffer/driver IC designed for asynchronous bus interfacing between 1.65V–3.6V logic domains. It features dual 4-bit banks (1A/1Y and 2A/2Y), 5.9ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, ±24mA output drive, and 5.5V-tolerant inputs - enabling mixed-mode signal operation in body control modules and infotainment data buses.
For engineers reviewing the CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 datasheet, CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 pinout, CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 application, or CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal and switching specifications, and validated alternative options for AEC-Q100-compliant system design.
Technical Context
The CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer banks, each controlled by a dedicated active-low 3-state enable (1OE/2OE). Its balanced CMOS outputs support bidirectional current sourcing/sinking up to ±24mA per channel at 3.0V VCC, with Ioff functionality enabling live insertion and partial power-down protection.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, supports 1.65V–3.6V supply range, and tolerates input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC - allowing direct interfacing between 3.3V systems and legacy 5V peripherals without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - enables compatibility with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs while maintaining robust noise margins. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - permits direct connection to 5V signals without external clamping or translation circuitry. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.9ns at 3.3V - ensures sub-6ns timing for high-speed bus buffering in automotive ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at 3.0V - drives longer PCB traces or multiple loads without signal degradation in distributed ECUs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. |
| Ioff Current | ±10µA max at 125°C - prevents back-drive and leakage during hot-swap or partial power-down modes. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets automotive ESD immunity requirements for assembly and field reliability. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50mm × 6.4mm body size, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present. Compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 19 | Bank 1 Output Enable (active-low) | Controls all four 1Y outputs; asserted low enables 1A1–1A4 → 1Y1–1Y4 path with 3-state disable when high. |
| 2OE, 11 | Bank 2 Output Enable (active-low) | Independent control of 2A1–2A4 → 2Y1–2Y4; allows selective isolation of two data paths on shared bus. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2–4,6,8 | Bank 1 Input Channels | Noninverting inputs mapped directly to corresponding 1Y outputs; accept 0–5.5V logic levels. |
| 2A1–2A4, 13,15,17,11 | Bank 2 Input Channels | Second independent 4-bit input group; electrically isolated from Bank 1 except via shared VCC/GND. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 18,16,14,12 | Bank 1 Output Channels | CMOS 3-state outputs with ±24mA drive; high-impedance when 1OE = high. |
| 2Y1–2Y4, 9,7,5,3 | Bank 2 Output Channels | Matched drive strength and timing to Bank 1; supports simultaneous or staggered bus arbitration. |
| VCC, 20 | Power Supply | 1.65V–3.6V supply input; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND, 10 | Ground Reference | Common return for all I/O and internal logic; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5V-tolerant inputs allow 3.3V-powered CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 to interface directly with 5V sensors or legacy controllers without level-shifting components. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0V or unpowered, enabling safe hot-plug operation in modular automotive subsystems. |
| Automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) | Qualified for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), including latch-up >250mA per JESD17 - suitable for engine control and chassis electronics. |
| Balanced CMOS 3-state outputs | Symmetric ±24mA drive capability ensures consistent rise/fall times and minimizes ground bounce (<0.8V typical VOLP at 3.3V). |
| Low propagation delay | 5.9ns max tpd at 3.3V enables reliable 100+ MHz bus operation in real-time vehicle networks like CAN FD gateways. |
Applications
| Body Control Module Signal Aggregation | Infotainment System Bus Isolation |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 | No G4 suffix; identical electrical specs and packaging but lacks TI's enhanced green (lead-free/NIPDAU) finish compliance documentation. | Same automotive qualification and thermal performance; used where RoHS documentation traceability is not required. | Select CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 when full RoHS compliance reporting and MSL Level-1 reflow certification are mandatory for Tier 1 production. |
| SN74LVCH244AQDWRQ1 | Includes bus-hold circuitry on all inputs; higher ICC (max 40µA vs. 10µA); same VCC range and drive strength. | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on unused inputs - beneficial in high-reliability modules with floating signal risk. | Choose SN74LVCH244AQDWRQ1 only if bus-hold functionality is explicitly needed; otherwise CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 offers lower static power and identical core functionality. |
Compared with SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 and SN74LVCH244AQDWRQ1, CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 delivers certified green finish compliance and minimal quiescent current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive modules requiring strict environmental documentation and low standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1?
The CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and powertrain applications. This rating applies specifically to the TSSOP-20 (PW) package variant and is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108.
Does CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 support 5V input signals while powered at 3.3V?
Yes, CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 supports input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level - enabling direct interfacing with 5V peripherals while operating from a 3.3V supply. This mixed-mode capability eliminates external level shifters in applications like gateway ECU protocol translation.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1?
The Ioff feature in CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 disables current flow when VCC = 0V or is unpowered, preventing back-drive from live system buses into the unpowered IC. This supports safe hot-insertion in modular automotive subsystems and protects against damage during partial power-down sequences.
Can CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 be used as a level shifter between 1.8V and 3.3V domains?
No - CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 does not support 1.8V VCC operation below its 1.65V minimum. While its inputs tolerate 5.5V, its output high-level voltage (VOH) is referenced to VCC; thus, it cannot translate 1.8V logic up to 3.3V without external biasing. For true bidirectional level shifting, dedicated translators like TXS0108E are recommended.
What package type is used for CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1?
CLVC244AQPWRG4Q1 uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50mm × 6.4mm body size, 0.65mm lead pitch, plastic encapsulation with NiPdAu lead finish. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life) and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
