Product details
Overview
SN74ABTH16244DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver IC in 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, featuring ±32-mA high-drive outputs, bus-hold on all data inputs, and operation from –40°C to 85°C. It supports memory address buffering, clock distribution, and bus-transceiver applications with symmetrical active-low OE control and flow-through pinout.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABTH16244DL datasheet, SN74ABTH16244DL pinout, SN74ABTH16244DL application, or SN74ABTH16244DL equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state drive strength (–32 mA/64 mA), bus-hold functionality eliminating external resistors, thermal resistance (θJA = 63°C/W), and compatibility with 5-V TTL-level systems requiring high-noise-immunity bus interfacing.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control and true (noninverting) logic path. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture delivers low power dissipation while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2 V) and rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through pin mapping minimize switching noise and optimize PCB layout for high-speed bus applications. Latch-up immunity exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17, and output ground bounce (VOLP) remains below 1 V at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial 5-V rail tolerances without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL - Drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs directly. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.7–3.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - Supports >200 MHz bus toggle rates with CL = 50 pF. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±40 µA hold current at VI = 2 V/0.8 V - Maintains valid logic state on floating inputs without external biasing. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 63°C/W (DL package) - Enables sustained 16-bit switching at ambient up to 85°C with standard PCB copper. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - Survives handling and board-level electrostatic events without protection diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABTH16244DL uses a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL) with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.4 mm × 6.0 mm body, and 1.2-mm max height. Pin 1 identifier located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independently disable each 4-bit buffer section; tie to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z safety. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | All inputs feature bus-hold circuitry; no external pullups/pulldowns required for unused lines. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True (noninverting) buffered outputs | High-drive 3-state outputs capable of sinking 64 mA or sourcing 32 mA into TTL loads. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve power integrity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce during fast transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides of package to eliminate layer jumps and reduce trace length in dense bus layouts. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data inputs, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Distributed power/ground | Four VCC and eight GND pins suppress simultaneous switching noise and maintain signal integrity at >100-MHz edge rates. |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | –32 mA source / 64 mA sink capability drives 20+ TTL loads or long traces without external buffers. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or hot-insertion events. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT16244DL | Omits bus-hold circuitry; otherwise identical pinout, drive strength, and timing. | Requires external pullup/pulldown resistors on all inputs if left unconnected. | Select when bus-hold is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized. |
| SN74LVTH16244DL | Lower voltage operation (2.7–3.6 V); reduced drive (–24 mA/48 mA); higher propagation delay (typ. 4.2 ns). | Not compatible with 5-V TTL systems; suited for mixed-voltage 3.3-V bus interfaces. | Choose only for 3.3-V domains where power efficiency outweighs speed and drive requirements. |
Compared with SN74ABTH16244DL, SN74ABT16244DL removes bus-hold to cut cost but increases external component count, while SN74LVTH16244DL shifts to 3.3-V operation with lower performance-neither offers drop-in replacement capability in 5-V industrial bus designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74ABTH16244DL?
The SN74ABTH16244DL is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" table of the SCBS677D datasheet and applies specifically to the DL-package variant. The SN54ABTH16244 military version operates from –55°C to 125°C, but that specification does not extend to the SN74ABTH16244DL.
Does the SN74ABTH16244DL require external pullup resistors on its input pins?
No, the SN74ABTH16244DL includes integrated bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs (A1–A16), which actively maintains a valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. The bus-hold current is specified as ±40 µA at VI = 2 V or 0.8 V.
What is the thermal resistance θJA of the SN74ABTH16244DL package?
The SN74ABTH16244DL in the SSOP (DL) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 63°C/W, as stated in the "absolute maximum ratings" table of the SCBS677D datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions and enables thermal design for continuous 16-bit switching at full drive strength within the –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Can the SN74ABTH16244DL be used as a 16-bit, 8-bit, or 4-bit buffer?
Yes, the SN74ABTH16244DL is architecturally flexible: it contains four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with its own active-low OE input (1OE–4OE). Users may configure it as one 16-bit buffer (all OEs tied), two 8-bit buffers (1OE+2OE and 3OE+4OE grouped), or four separate 4-bit buffers - all with true outputs and identical electrical characteristics.
How does the SN74ABTH16244DL handle power-up and power-down states?
To ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, the OE inputs of the SN74ABTH16244DL must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source, as specified in the functional description. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes.
