Product details
Overview
SN74AHC16244DLRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver IC designed for memory address, clock, and bus interface applications. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits 3.9 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). It is used in motor drives and telecom infrastructure to isolate and strengthen digital signals with controlled edge rates.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC16244DLRG4 datasheet, SN74AHC16244DLRG4 pinout, SN74AHC16244DLRG4 application, or SN74AHC16244DLRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin SSOP package, active-low 3-state enable architecture per 4-bit group, overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), low-noise switching behavior, and compatibility with 2.0–5.5 V logic systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC16244DLRG4 implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) control (1OE–4OE). Its EPIC™ CMOS process enables rail-to-rail input tolerance and symmetrical drive strength while minimizing high-speed switching noise via distributed VCC/GND pins and flow-through pinout.
Each buffer section operates in true (noninverting) mode only, with output states defined strictly as high, low, or high-impedance - no latching or internal feedback. The device requires external pull-up on OE pins during power sequencing to guarantee defined 3-state behavior at startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and down-translation from 5 V inputs to lower-VCC logic domains |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient for driving moderate capacitive loads (e.g., PCB traces, multiple CMOS inputs) without excessive ringing |
| tPLH / tPHL | 3.9 ns max (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables reliable operation in 100+ MHz bus environments with timing margin |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage controllers without level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and base station applications |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA max (VCC = 5.5 V) - enables low-power standby in always-on subsystems |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly without special ESD controls |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHC16244DLRG4 uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.635 mm pitch and nominal body size 15.80 mm × 7.50 mm. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise sequence from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output enable (4 independent controls) | Each enables/disables one 4-bit buffer group; tied high via pull-up for default high-Z during power-up |
| 1A1–4A4 | Input (16 total) | CMOS-compatible inputs tolerant to 5.5 V; must be terminated to VCC or GND if unused |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | True noninverting output (16 total) | 3-state outputs with ±8 mA drive; high-Z when corresponding OE is high |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PDN impedance |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and enhance signal integrity for all 16 channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins arranged linearly per channel group - simplifies PCB routing and minimizes trace crossovers in dense bus layouts |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Four VCC and eight GND pins interleaved across package - lowers power delivery impedance and suppresses ground bounce |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing 5 V microcontrollers to 3.3 V or 2.5 V peripherals |
| Controlled edge rates | Slower rise/fall times vs. higher-drive families (e.g., AC) - reduces EMI and output ringing on unterminated lines |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - ensures robustness against transient current faults in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Motor Drive Control | Telecom Baseband Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHC16244DGVR | TVSOP-48 package (9.70 mm × 4.40 mm); 12.5 °C/W lower RθJA than DL package | Better thermal performance in space-constrained, high-density layouts; same pinout and electrical specs | Select for compact designs requiring improved power dissipation; verify reflow profile compatibility with smaller body size |
| SN74LVCH16244A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); higher drive (±24 mA); no 5.5 V input tolerance | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; unsuitable for 5 V input interfacing or mixed-voltage domains | Choose only when operating exclusively at ≤3.6 V and needing stronger drive; not a drop-in replacement for SN74AHC16244DLRG4 |
Compared with SN74AHC16244DGVR and SN74LVCH16244A, the SN74AHC16244DLRG4 uniquely balances wide supply range (2–5.5 V), 5.5 V input tolerance, and SSOP mechanical stability - making it preferred for legacy industrial upgrades and multi-rail backplanes where voltage flexibility and board-level ruggedness are critical.
