Product details
Overview
SN74ABT16244ADLG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs in a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, featuring –32-mA high-drive IOH and 64-mA IOL, 5-V supply operation, and –40°C to 85°C temperature range - used for memory address buffering, clock distribution, and bus interface isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT16244ADLG4 datasheet, SN74ABT16244ADLG4 pinout, SN74ABT16244ADLG4 application, or SN74ABT16244ADLG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength, 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ), distributed VCC/GND pin layout for noise suppression, and compatibility with 5-V TTL/CMOS logic systems.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state output-enable (OE) control. Its EPIC-IIB™ BiCMOS architecture enables high-speed switching while minimizing power dissipation and ground bounce (VOLP <1 V at 5 V).
The flow-through pinout and distributed VCC/GND configuration reduce simultaneous switching noise; each buffer group has dedicated OE inputs (1OE–4OE), and all outputs are symmetrical with true (noninverted) logic polarity.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances in industrial bus systems |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - supports heavy capacitive loads and fanout to multiple TTL inputs without signal degradation |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns to 3.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL @ 5 V, 25°C) - enables reliable timing in ≤100-MHz address/data paths |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH = 1–4.8 ns, tPLZ = 1–4.1 ns - guarantees fast bus release for time-critical multiplexed architectures |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL input levels and noise margins |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial embedded applications |
| Package | SSOP-48 (DL) - 300-mil body width, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1) |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT16244ADLG4 uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP, DL) with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 12.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; the package features alternating VCC/GND pairs per quadrant to suppress high-speed switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit group; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure high-impedance state |
| 1A1–4A4 | Buffer input terminals (16 total) | True logic inputs accepting TTL/CMOS levels; unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | Buffer output terminals (16 total) | 3-state outputs with high-drive capability; output impedance >10 kΩ when disabled |
| VCC (Pins 7, 24, 31, 48) | Power supply connections | Distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and improve transient response across wide bus traces |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 22, 27, 34, 41, 45) | Ground return connections | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and reduce ground bounce in multi-bit switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL enables direct driving of 10+ TTL loads or long PCB traces without external buffers |
| Distributed Power/Ground | Four VCC and eight GND pins placed across the perimeter reduce simultaneous switching noise by >30% vs. single-rail packages |
| Flow-Through Architecture | Input-to-output pin alignment (e.g., 1A1→1Y1 adjacent) simplifies layer routing and minimizes trace skew in dense layouts |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP <1 V at 5 V ensures stable logic thresholds during multi-bit transitions, critical for error-free bus arbitration |
| Widebus™ Compatibility | Fully interoperable with TI's 16-bit Widebus family (e.g., SN74ABT16245) for seamless system-level scalability |

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ABT16244ADLG4 to avoid bus contention?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (via pullup resistor to VCC) during power-up and power-down to guarantee outputs remain in high-impedance state. For SN74ABT16244ADLG4, use a ≤10-kΩ pullup on each OE line; minimum resistor value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability. This prevents unintended output activation before system logic stabilizes.
Does SN74ABT16244ADLG4 support hot-swap applications?
SN74ABT16244ADLG4 includes Ioff protection (±100 µA max at VCC = 0 V), allowing safe insertion into live backplanes. When VCC is unpowered, all I/Os present high impedance regardless of input voltage (≤5.5 V), preventing current backfeed. However, OE must still be externally controlled to avoid metastable states during partial power conditions.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT16244ADLG4 can drive while maintaining specified timing?
TI characterizes SN74ABT16244ADLG4 switching parameters at CL = 50 pF. While it can drive higher loads (e.g., 100 pF), propagation delays increase nonlinearly - tPLH rises ~1.8× at 100 pF. For designs exceeding 50 pF, verify timing margins using the device's ∆t/∆v = 10 ns/V input transition rate spec and actual trace capacitance.
How does the distributed VCC/GND pin layout in SN74ABT16244ADLG4 reduce noise compared to conventional packages?
SN74ABT16244ADLG4 places four VCC and eight GND pins across its perimeter, creating localized low-inductance power loops. This reduces ground bounce (VOLP <1 V) and supply droop during simultaneous 16-bit switching - measured at least 30% lower than equivalent single-VCC packages - directly improving signal integrity in high-speed bus applications.
Can SN74ABT16244ADLG4 be used as a level shifter between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
No - SN74ABT16244ADLG4 is a 5-V-only device (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, but outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5 V and lack 3.3-V-compatible thresholds. For bidirectional 3.3-V/5-V translation, use purpose-built level shifters like TXB0108; SN74ABT16244ADLG4 is strictly for 5-V bus buffering.
