Product details
Overview
SN74ALVC16244ADGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. It features ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 3-ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. It is used in memory-address drivers, clock distribution networks, and high-density bus transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR datasheet, SN74ALVC16244ADGGR pinout, SN74ALVC16244ADGGR application, or SN74ALVC16244ADGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include 48-pin TSSOP package compatibility, 3.3-V logic interface support, 3-state bus isolation capability, and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17.
Technical Context
The SN74ALVC16244ADGGR implements four independent 4-bit buffers, each with true (non-inverting) output logic and dedicated active-low OE control. Its architecture supports flexible partitioning as one 16-bit, two 8-bit, or four 4-bit buffers - enabling scalable bus loading management without external logic.
All inputs and outputs are 3.3-V tolerant with rail-to-rail swing, and the device includes robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM). Input thresholds scale with VCC, supporting mixed-voltage system interfacing across 1.65–3.6 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability with 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic families |
| Max tpd | 3 ns at 3.3 V - supports high-speed address/data buffering in sub-ns timing-critical paths |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - drives up to 10 LVTTL loads or 20 ALVC loads without signal degradation |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V (min), VIL = 0.8 V (max) at 3.3 V - ensures noise margin >0.7 V under worst-case conditions |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - prevents destructive current runaway during transient overvoltage events |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA max at 3.6 V - minimizes static power in always-on buffer applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control per 4-bit group; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure Hi-Z state |
| 1A1–4A4 | Data inputs | 16 total inputs; true logic - output Yn follows An when corresponding OE is low |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-state outputs | 16 buffered outputs; high-impedance when OE = high; full rail-to-rail swing |
| VCC | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins (pins 7, 15, 31, 39) reduce switching noise and improve PSRR |
| GND | Ground reference | Eight GND pins (pins 4, 10, 18, 27, 34, 42, 45, 47) provide low-inductance return paths for all output groups |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Widebus™ architecture | Optimized pinout and internal routing for minimal crosstalk and skew across 16-bit buses |
| Supply voltage scaling | Guaranteed operation from 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports legacy 3.3-V and modern 1.8-V SoC interfaces |
| Symmetrical OE control | Four independent active-low OE inputs allow selective 4-bit group isolation without additional logic |
| High-current drive | ±24-mA sink/source at 3.3 V - eliminates need for external bus repeaters in medium-load systems |
| Power-up Hi-Z guarantee | OE tied to VCC via pullup ensures outputs remain high-impedance until valid control is applied |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive strength (±24 mA only at 3.3 V; degrades to ±12 mA at 2.5 V); identical pinout and function | Less suitable for mixed-voltage systems operating below 3.0 V due to reduced noise margin and drive | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance margin at sub-3-V operation |
| 74ALVC16244PW | TSSOP-48 package same; slightly higher tpd (3.7 ns typ at 3.3 V vs. 3.0 ns max); identical electrical specs | Same functional use but requires validation of thermal derating in high-density PCB layouts | Choose if existing footprint uses NXP's PW marking convention and board layout tolerates +0.7 ns delay margin |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and 74ALVC16244PW, the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR delivers tighter propagation delay control (3 ns max vs. 3.7 ns typ), superior sub-3-V drive capability, and TI-specific Widebus™ layout optimization for lower inter-bit skew in high-speed bus applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR?
The SN74ALVC16244ADGGR does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet because it is a combinational buffer, not a clocked device. Its usable frequency limit is determined by propagation delay (3 ns max at 3.3 V) and system-level signal integrity. For clean 100-MHz bus operation, the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR provides sufficient timing margin with typical rise/fall times under 2.5 ns and output capacitance of 7 pF.
Can the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR be used with a 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR is fully specified for 1.65-V to 3.6-V operation, including 1.8-V VCC. At 1.8 V, it delivers ±4 mA output drive, VIH/VIL thresholds scale to 0.65×VCC and 0.35×VCC, and tpd increases to 3.7 ns (typical). The SN74ALVC16244ADGGR maintains full functionality and guaranteed timing across this range without external level shifters.
How should unused inputs be handled on the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR?
All unused inputs on the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR - including data inputs (A1–A4 per group) and OE terminals - must be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating nodes that cause increased ICC, noise coupling, or undefined output states. TI recommends connecting unused OE pins to VCC to force associated outputs into high-impedance mode, and unused A inputs to GND or VCC depending on desired default output state. This requirement applies to every instance of SN74ALVC16244ADGGR in the design.
Is the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR pin-compatible with older 74ALVC244 variants?
No, the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR is not pin-compatible with legacy 24-pin 74ALVC244 devices. It is a 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) part with four independent 4-bit sections, whereas the 74ALVC244 is an 8-bit device in SOIC-20 or TSSOP-20 packages. Direct replacement would require PCB redesign. However, the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR can replace four discrete 74ALVC244 units in space-constrained designs where 16-bit buffering is required.
Does the SN74ALVC16244ADGGR support hot-plug or live-insertion?
The SN74ALVC16244ADGGR supports hot-plug operation when OE is held high (Hi-Z) during insertion, preventing bus contention. Its IOK rating (–50 mA clamp current) and 2000-V HBM ESD protection provide robustness against transient surges during live connection. However, TI does not guarantee hot-plug compliance without external series resistors or TVS diodes on data lines - system-level validation is required before deploying SN74ALVC16244ADGGR in hot-swap backplanes.
