For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT244MPWREP datasheet, SN74AHCT244MPWREP pinout, SN74AHCT244MPWREP application, or SN74AHCT244MPWREP equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, TSSOP-20 package details, functional behavior under enable control, and validated alternatives for radiation-tolerant or extended-temperature logic interfacing.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT244MPWREP implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) control. Its EPIC™ CMOS process ensures latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17) and robust ESD protection (>1000 V HBM, >200 V MM).
Input thresholds are fixed at VIH = 2 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max), matching standard TTL voltage levels. Propagation delays range from 5.4 ns (A→Y, CL = 15 pF) to 9.5 ns (A→Y, CL = 50 pF), while enable/disable times (tPZH/tPLZ) span 5–13 ns depending on load capacitance and transition edge.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range supported by the SN74AHCT244MPWREP?
The SN74AHCT244MPWREP is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to 125°C. This extended temperature range is achieved through JEDEC-qualified testing including HAST, temperature cycling, and electromigration analysis-making SN74AHCT244MPWREP suitable for deployment in avionics, downhole tools, and defense electronics where ambient extremes are routine.
Does the SN74AHCT244MPWREP require external pull-up resistors on its output-enable pins?
Yes, to guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down sequences, both 1OE and 2OE pins of the SN74AHCT244MPWREP must be tied to VCC through external pull-up resistors. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source, but typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for robust noise margin and fast enable timing.
Is the SN74AHCT244MPWREP pin-compatible with standard commercial-grade SN74AHCT244 devices?
No-the SN74AHCT244MPWREP uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package and shares pinout compatibility only with other TSSOP-20 variants like SN74AHCT244MPWRE. It is not pin-compatible with SOIC-20 versions such as SN74AHCT244MDWREP due to differing package dimensions and lead pitch, though logic function and terminal assignment are identical.
What is the output drive strength of the SN74AHCT244MPWREP at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 5 V, the SN74AHCT244MPWREP delivers ±8 mA output current per channel-verified under IOL = 8 mA (low-level) and IOH = –8 mA (high-level) test conditions. This drive strength supports reliable switching into 50-pF loads with propagation delays as low as 5.4 ns, meeting timing requirements for high-speed address and data bus applications.
How does the SN74AHCT244MPWREP handle unused inputs?
All unused inputs on the SN74AHCT244MPWREP must be held at a defined logic level-either VCC or GND-to prevent floating nodes that could cause excessive ICC current or erratic output behavior. TI recommends tying unused A-inputs directly to VCC or GND using short traces; leaving them unconnected violates recommended operating conditions and may compromise latch-up immunity or ESD robustness in the SN74AHCT244MPWREP.
