Product details
Overview
SN74ALVTH162244LR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2.5-V/3.3-V operation and mixed-mode (5-V input-tolerant) interfacing. It features bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, integrated 30-Ω output series resistors, and auto 3-state functionality that disables outputs when VO exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - enabling robust signal integrity in backplane and memory interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVTH162244LR datasheet, SN74ALVTH162244LR pinout, SN74ALVTH162244LR application, or SN74ALVTH162244LR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V-compatible 12-mA drive strength, ±100 µA high-impedance leakage at VCC ≤ 1.2 V, 3.3 ns max propagation delay (CL = 50 pF), and TSSOP-48 (DGG) package with distributed power/ground pins to suppress switching noise.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) control and true (noninverting) logic. Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) architecture delivers low static power dissipation while supporting live insertion via power-off output disable and high-impedance state during power-up/down transitions.
The integrated bus-hold circuit eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors by actively sustaining valid logic levels on floating inputs, and the auto 3-state feature prevents bus contention when outputs exceed VCC + 0.5 V - critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage domain bridging between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports dual-supply interoperability and brown-out tolerance down to 2.3 V. |
| IOL / IOH | 12 mA sink / –12 mA source at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and stub-loaded transmission lines. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤3.3 ns (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~150 MHz. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75 µA, IBHH = –75 µA at VCC = 3 V - actively holds floating inputs without external components, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| VOL / VOH | 0.8 V max at IOL = 12 mA / 2.0 V min at IOH = –12 mA - ensures noise margins >0.4 V in 3.3-V LVTTL systems. |
| ICC (Active) | 3.2–5.0 mA at VCC = 3.6 V - low quiescent current enables use in power-constrained embedded controllers and peripheral interfaces. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM, 1000 V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and field operation. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVTH162244LR is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, DGG), measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO-153 compliance. The pinout follows a flow-through architecture with distributed VCC/GND pairs to minimize simultaneous switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs (16 total) | Accept 5-V-tolerant signals; each has bus-hold circuitry to prevent floating states. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True buffered outputs (16 total) | 3-state capable; include built-in 30-Ω series termination to reduce overshoot/undershoot. |
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable controls (4 total) | Independent per 4-bit section; enable/disable groups without affecting others. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed across package to lower impedance path and reduce ground bounce. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins minimize return-path inductance and improve signal integrity at high speed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 2.3–3.6-V VCC supply - enables direct interfacing between 3.3-V logic and 5-V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Auto 3-state protection | Outputs automatically enter high-impedance when VO > VCC + 0.5 V - prevents bus contention during hot-plug or voltage sequencing faults. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data inputs - reduces PCB area, BOM cost, and routing complexity. |
| Output series resistance | 30-Ω on-chip termination - suppresses ringing and EMI without discrete resistors, simplifying layout for controlled-impedance traces. |
| Live-insertion support | Outputs disabled when VCC = 0 V - allows safe insertion/removal in powered-backplane systems without damaging downstream logic. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC162244ADGGR | Lower drive (24 mA sink at 3.3 V), no bus-hold, no auto 3-state, same TSSOP-48 footprint. | Suitable for clean 3.3-V-only systems without floating inputs or hot-swap requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for bus-hold or 5-V tolerance; requires external pull resistors. |
| SN74AVC162244DGGR | 1.8-V/2.5-V/3.3-V operation, 12-mA drive, no bus-hold, no auto 3-state, same pinout. | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage domains (e.g., battery-powered edge nodes), but lacks mixed-mode robustness. | Choose for multi-rail designs where VCC may drop below 2.3 V; verify OE control behavior under partial power conditions. |
Compared with SN74LVC162244ADGGR and SN74AVC162244DGGR, SN74ALVTH162244LR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, bus-hold, and auto 3-state in a single 3.3-V buffer - making it the only option among the three qualified for legacy interface upgrades and hot-swap-capable backplanes.
