Product details
Overview
SN74AHC16244 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver IC designed for memory address, clock, and bus interface applications. It features four independent 4-bit sections with active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, and supports –40°C to 125°C operation in TSSOP-48 package. It is used in telecom infrastructure backplanes to isolate and drive parallel address/data buses.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC16244 datasheet, SN74AHC16244 pinout, SN74AHC16244 application, or SN74AHC16244 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤7 ns at 5 V), input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V, distributed VCC/GND pinning for noise reduction, and flow-through pin architecture for optimized PCB routing.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC16244 implements sixteen identical CMOS buffer stages grouped into four independent 4-bit sections, each with dedicated active-low OE control. Its EPIC™ process ensures latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD 17 and ESD protection >2 kV HBM.
Each section functions as a true (noninverting) buffer with symmetrical drive strength and high-impedance outputs when OE is high. The device uses distributed power/ground pins (eight GND and six VCC terminals) to minimize simultaneous switching noise, and its flow-through pinout places inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the TSSOP-48 package to simplify layer routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and down-translation from 5 V logic to lower-core rails |
| IOL / IOH | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient drive for TTL loads and short PCB traces without external termination |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤7 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in 100+ MHz bus systems with controlled edge rates |
| VIH / VIL | 3.85 V / 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V CMOS/TTL input thresholds |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows 5 V-tolerant inputs even when VCC = 2.5 V or 3.3 V, enabling level-shifting |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control and infrastructure equipment |
| ICC (Max) | 40 µA at VCC = 5.5 V - ultra-low static power for always-on buffer stages in power-sensitive designs |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pin architecture | Inputs on one side, outputs on opposite side - eliminates layer crossovers and reduces trace length in dense bus layouts |
| Distributed VCC and GND pins | Four VCC + eight GND terminals - lowers simultaneous switching noise by >30% vs. single-supply packages |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V input signals at any valid VCC (2–5.5 V) - enables seamless voltage translation without external level shifters |
| Slow edge rate control | Internal slew limiting minimizes overshoot/undershoot on unterminated lines - reduces need for external RC damping |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVCH16244A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher drive (±24 mA), no 5.5 V input tolerance | Better suited for 3.3 V-only systems requiring stronger drive; incompatible with 5 V input sources | Select when operating exclusively at 1.8 V or 3.3 V and needing higher current capability |
| 74ALVC16244 | Wider VCC (1.65–3.6 V), faster propagation (≤3.5 ns), 3.6 V max input voltage | Optimized for high-speed 3.3 V LVTTL interfaces; lacks 5 V tolerance and extended temperature support | Select for sub-10 ns timing-critical 3.3 V bus applications where 5 V compatibility is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVCH16244A and 74ALVC16244, the SN74AHC16244 uniquely supports 2–5.5 V operation with 5.5 V-tolerant inputs and industrial temperature range, making it the only choice for mixed-voltage, extended-temp, or legacy 5 V interface scenarios.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per pin for SN74AHC16244?
The SN74AHC16244 supports ±8 mA DC output current per pin at VCC = 5 V, with absolute maximum continuous output current limited to ±25 mA per output and ±75 mA total for the entire device. This rating ensures reliable drive into standard TTL loads and short PCB traces without thermal derating in the –40°C to 125°C operating range. Exceeding these limits risks parametric shift or long-term reliability degradation.
Does SN74AHC16244 support 5 V input signals when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74AHC16244 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - including when VCC = 3.3 V or 2.5 V. This 5.5 V-tolerant input capability is explicitly specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and enables direct interfacing with 5 V logic without external level shifters, simplifying mixed-voltage system design.
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for SN74AHC16244?
TI recommends placing a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near each VCC pin (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) of the SN74AHC16244, with shortest possible trace lengths to adjacent GND pins. For high-frequency noise suppression, paralleling a 1.0 μF capacitor is acceptable. This decoupling strategy mitigates simultaneous switching noise caused by 16 outputs switching in concert, preserving signal integrity on shared power rails.
How does the flow-through pinout of SN74AHC16244 improve PCB layout?
The flow-through pinout of SN74AHC16244 places all 16 inputs on one side (left) and all 16 outputs on the opposite side (right) of the TSSOP-48 package. This arrangement enables straight-through routing without layer jumps or vias between driver and load, reducing trace inductance, crosstalk, and layout complexity - especially critical in high-density backplane and memory interface designs.
Is SN74AHC16244 suitable for automotive applications?
The SN74AHC16244 is rated for –40°C to 125°C operation and meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA) and HBM ESD performance (>2 kV), satisfying core robustness requirements for under-hood and cockpit electronics. However, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for automotive production use, designers must perform full system-level qualification and consider TI's automotive-grade alternatives like SN74AHC16244-Q1 if required.
