Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16244DGGR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state buffer/driver IC operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, delivering ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V with 3 ns max propagation delay, used in memory address buffering, clock distribution, and bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16244DGGR datasheet, SN74ALVCH16244DGGR pinout, SN74ALVCH16244DGGR application, or SN74ALVCH16244DGGR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage range compatibility (1.65–3.6 V), bus-hold input retention, TSSOP-48 package footprint, and 3-state output control timing.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit buffers with symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) inputs per group (1OE–4OE), supporting flexible partitioning as one 16-bit, two 8-bit, or four 4-bit buffers. All inputs feature integrated bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors.
It operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) with latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17 and ESD protection rated at 2000-V HBM and 200-V MM. Input thresholds scale with VCC, ensuring robust logic-level translation across 1.65–3.6 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 3 ns at 3.3 V - supports high-speed data path timing in memory and clock driver applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple CMOS inputs without signal degradation. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - maintains stable logic state on unused inputs, preventing floating-node oscillation. |
| Input/Output Capacitance | 6 pF (input), 7 pF (output) - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and downstream receivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA at 3.6 V - ensures low static power consumption in always-on system interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (DGG) package: 12.4 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control per 4-bit group; must be tied to VCC via pullup during power-up to ensure Hi-Z default state. |
| 1A1–4A4 | Data inputs | 16 buffered inputs with bus-hold; no external biasing required even when unconnected. |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | True outputs | Non-inverting 3-state outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| VCC, GND | Power terminals | Four VCC and six GND pins distributed across package to reduce switching noise and improve PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 1.65–3.6 V operation allows single-supply interoperability across mixed-voltage systems. |
| Integrated Bus-Hold | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 inputs, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| High-Speed Performance | 3 ns tpd at 3.3 V enables use in sub-333-MHz clock domains without timing closure issues. |
| Robust ESD/Latch-Up | 2000-V HBM and >250-mA latch-up immunity support reliable operation in noisy industrial environments. |

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 (±24 mA only at 3.3 V; ≤±16 mA at 2.5 V), no bus-hold, identical pinout. | Suitable where input biasing is handled externally or inputs are always driven. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold convenience and mixed-voltage operation is limited to 3.3 V. |
| 74AVC16244DGG | Wider voltage range (1.2–3.6 V), higher speed (2.2 ns tpd), no bus-hold, same package. | Better for ultra-low-voltage (1.2–1.5 V) SoC interfaces but requires external biasing. | Choose for next-gen low-power designs needing sub-2.5 V operation and tighter timing margins. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16244DGGR, SN74LVC16244ADGGR offers lower cost but forfeits bus-hold and mixed-voltage flexibility, while 74AVC16244DGG extends voltage range downward but increases design complexity with mandatory external biasing.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH16244DGGR?
TI specifies that OE inputs must be held high (Hi-Z state) during power-up to prevent output contention. Tie each OE pin to VCC through a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability); do not leave OE floating. This ensures all outputs remain in high-impedance until system initialization completes. The SN74ALVCH16244DGGR datasheet confirms this behavior applies across its full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does SN74ALVCH16244DGGR support mixed-voltage operation between input and output sides?
No-SN74ALVCH16244DGGR is a single-supply device with all I/O referenced to the same VCC rail (1.65–3.6 V). It does not provide level-shifting functionality. Inputs and outputs operate at the same voltage domain. For true mixed-voltage translation, external level shifters or dual-supply devices like TXB0108 are required. The SN74ALVCH16244DGGR specification explicitly defines VI and VO ranges relative to VCC only.
How does the bus-hold circuitry in SN74ALVCH16244DGGR affect input leakage current?
The bus-hold circuitry in SN74ALVCH16244DGGR draws ±75 µA at 3 V (per input) to maintain the last-valid logic state. This is significantly higher than standard CMOS input leakage (<5 µA), so it must be accounted for in ultra-low-power designs. However, it eliminates the need for external 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors, reducing total system leakage in most industrial applications. The SN74ALVCH16244DGGR datasheet provides exact II(hold) values across VCC conditions.
Can SN74ALVCH16244DGGR be used as a level shifter between 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic?
No-SN74ALVCH16244DGGR cannot perform bidirectional level shifting. While it operates from 1.8 V to 3.3 V, all inputs and outputs share the same VCC reference. Driving a 1.8-V input with a 3.3-V signal violates absolute maximum ratings (VI max = VCC + 0.5 V). For 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V translation, dedicated level shifters such as TXS0108E or SN74AVC4T245 are required. The SN74ALVCH16244DGGR datasheet prohibits exceeding VI limits under any condition.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74ALVCH16244DGGR in its TSSOP-48 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for SN74ALVCH16244DGGR in the DGG (TSSOP-48) package is 70°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official TI datasheet (SCES014K). This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. Layout improvements-such as adding thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present) or increasing copper area-can reduce effective θJA, but the baseline rating remains 70°C/W for design margining. The SN74ALVCH16244DGGR thermal performance is validated per JESD 51-7.
