Product details
Overview
MC74HC244ADTR2 from onsemi is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver/line receiver in TSSOP-20 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with dual active-low output enables (pins 1 and 19), 15 LSTTL load drive capability, and propagation delay as low as 15 ns at 6.0 V - used for bidirectional bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC244ADTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility (2.0–6.0 V), dual independent 3-state control, CMOS/TTL input compatibility, high-noise-immunity operation, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MC74HC244ADTR2 implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer groups (A1–A4/YA1–YA4 and B1–B4/YB1–YB4), each controlled by its own active-low enable (Enable A on pin 1, Enable B on pin 19). It uses standard high-speed CMOS logic architecture with rail-to-rail input thresholds defined per VCC (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V).
Its 3-state outputs exhibit low leakage (IOZ ≤ ±10 µA at 125°C) and low output capacitance (COUT = 15 pF), enabling clean bus sharing without signal contention. The device meets JEDEC Std. No. 7A and supports operation from –55°C to +125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered designs down to 2.0 V logic. |
| Propagation Delay (A→YA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 6.0 V - enables reliable timing in 33 MHz+ bus systems with margin. |
| Output Drive Strength | 15 LSTTL loads - sufficient to drive multiple legacy TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 4.2 V min, VIL = 1.8 V max at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures robust noise margin (>1.2 V) in noisy industrial environments. |
| 3-State Leakage Current | ±10 µA max at 125°C - prevents unintended current paths when outputs are disabled in high-temp applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and aerospace avionics use. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parametric shift. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 wide-body package (Case 948E), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | Active-Low Output Enables | Enable A (pin 1) controls YA1–YA4; Enable B (pin 19) controls YB1–YB4 - allows independent gating of two 4-bit data lanes. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | Data Inputs A1–A4 | Noninverting inputs for first buffer group - directly connect to microcontroller port or address bus lines. |
| 11, 13, 15, 17 | Data Inputs B1–B4 | Noninverting inputs for second buffer group - supports dual-bus or mirrored signal routing. |
| 18, 16, 14, 12 | Outputs YA1–YA4 | 3-state noninverting outputs tied to Enable A - high-impedance when pin 1 = high. |
| 9, 7, 5, 3 | Outputs YB1–YB4 | 3-state noninverting outputs tied to Enable B - isolated from bus when pin 19 = high. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail - must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for all inputs, outputs, and enables. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit buffering | Enables simultaneous control of two separate data paths (e.g., address/data split or master/slave isolation) without cross-talk. |
| CMOS/TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts both CMOS and LSTTL logic levels (with pullups), eliminating level-shifter requirements in mixed-technology systems. |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed 40% VCC noise margin at 6.0 V supply - suppresses false triggering from EMI in motor drives or switching power supplies. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (−Q variant) | MC74HC244ADTR2G−Q* version meets automotive stress testing (HTOL, TC, ESD) - suitable for ADAS sensor interfaces and body control modules. |
| Pb-free, halogen-free, RoHS | Fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E - supports green manufacturing and export compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC244PWR | TSSOP-20, same logic function and pinout, but TI-specified VIH/VIL thresholds differ slightly (VIH = 3.15 V min at 4.5 V vs. onsemi's 3.15 V); ICC = 80 µA max (vs. 160 µA). | Valid for commercial-grade industrial control where AEC-Q100 is not required; lacks −Q automotive qualification. | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or when tighter quiescent current is prioritized over automotive qualification. |
| 74VHC244MTCX | TSSOP-20, identical pinout and function, but ON Semiconductor's VHC family offers faster tPLH (10 ns @ 5 V) and lower CIN (6 pF vs. 10 pF), with same 2.0–5.5 V range. | Better suited for high-frequency clock distribution (≥66 MHz) due to lower propagation delay and input capacitance. | Choose for timing-critical applications requiring <12 ns delay or reduced capacitive loading on driving nets. |
Compared with SN74HC244PWR and 74VHC244MTCX, the MC74HC244ADTR2 offers guaranteed AEC-Q100 qualification, wider 2.0–6.0 V operation, and higher temperature rating (125°C vs. 85°C for SN74HC244PWR), making it optimal for automotive and extended-temperature industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for MC74HC244ADTR2?
The MC74HC244ADTR2 supports a DC supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Its absolute maximum rating is +6.5 V, but sustained operation above 6.0 V violates recommended conditions and may impact reliability or parametric performance. At 6.0 V, propagation delay is minimized (15 ns), and output drive reaches 15 LSTTL loads - making this the optimal upper limit for performance-critical designs.
Does MC74HC244ADTR2 support TTL-level inputs without pull-up resistors?
No - MC74HC244ADTR2 inputs are CMOS-compatible and require VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V. Standard TTL outputs (2.4 V VOH) fall below this threshold, so pull-up resistors to VCC are required for reliable interface. For native TTL compatibility, the pin-compatible MC74HCT244ADTR2 (4.5–5.5 V only) should be selected instead.
How many independent 3-state control groups does MC74HC244ADTR2 provide?
The MC74HC244ADTR2 provides two independent 3-state control groups: Enable A (pin 1) controls outputs YA1–YA4, and Enable B (pin 19) controls outputs YB1–YB4. This allows concurrent or staggered enable/disable of two 4-bit data lanes - essential for bus arbitration, memory banking, or dual-processor interconnects without external logic.
Is MC74HC244ADTR2 pin-compatible with the 74LS244?
Yes - the MC74HC244ADTR2 is explicitly designed to be pinout-identical to the 74LS244, including identical pin numbering and function mapping (e.g., A1 on pin 2, YA1 on pin 18, Enable A on pin 1). This enables drop-in replacement in legacy LS-based PCBs, provided supply voltage and timing margins are verified for the wider 2.0–6.0 V range.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MC74HC244ADTR2 in its TSSOP-20 package?
The MC74HC244ADTR2 in TSSOP-20 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W, measured per JESD51-7 on a standard FR4 board with minimum pad spacing and no airflow. At maximum rated power dissipation (833 mW), this yields a worst-case junction temperature rise of 125°C above ambient - aligning precisely with its +125°C maximum operating temperature rating.
