Product details
Overview
SN74ALVTH162244VR 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, auto 3-state detection, and operates from –40°C to 85°C in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVTH162244VR datasheet, SN74ALVTH162244VR pinout, SN74ALVTH162244VR application, or SN74ALVTH162244VR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3-V-compatible 5-V-tolerant I/O, low ground bounce (<0.8 V), live-insertion support via power-off high-impedance, and flow-through pinout for PCB layout optimization.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (OE). Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) delivers low static power dissipation while supporting TTL-level signal translation between 5-V legacy systems and 2.5-V/3.3-V logic domains.
The architecture includes distributed VCC/GND pins to suppress high-speed switching noise, bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors, and output ports with built-in 30-Ω series termination to reduce overshoot/undershoot without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports dual-voltage system interfacing with stable operation across 2.5-V and 3.3-V rails |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5-V buses without level-shifting circuitry |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA - sufficient to drive standard CMOS/TTL loads and stubs in backplane or board-level interconnects |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns to 3.3 ns (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures timing-critical data path integrity in high-speed digital systems |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA (VCC = 3 V) - actively maintains valid logic levels on floating inputs, preventing metastability |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance state when VCC ≤ 1.2 V - prevents bus contention during power sequencing |
| Thermal Impedance θJA | 93°C/W (DGV package) - defines maximum junction temperature rise under specified PCB copper area conditions |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVTH162244VR is housed in a 48-pin Thin Very Small-Outline Package (TVSOP, JEDEC MO-153, TI designation DGV), 7.7 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.5-mm pitch gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Controls 4-bit group (1Y–4Y); low enables true output, high places outputs in high-Z |

| 1Y1–4Y4 (32 pins) | True buffered outputs | 32 total outputs with integrated 30-Ω series resistance; support auto 3-state when VOUT > VCC + 0.5 V |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Supply voltage | Distributed power pins minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve PDN stability |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and enhance signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs/outputs with 2.3–3.6-V VCC - eliminates external level shifters in hybrid-voltage systems |
| Auto 3-state detection | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when VOUT exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - prevents bus contention during hot-swap or fault conditions |
| Integrated 30-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for discrete termination resistors - reduces BOM count and PCB area in high-speed routing |
| Live insertion support | Outputs disabled during power-off and high-Z during power-up/down - enables safe hot-plug capability in modular backplanes |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides of package - simplifies layer routing and minimizes trace crossovers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH162244GR | No bus-hold circuitry; lower ICC (0.05 mA typical vs. 0.07 mA); same pinout and voltage specs | Requires external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused inputs; less suitable for undriven or intermittently connected buses | Select when cost reduction is prioritized and bus-hold functionality is not required in the target design |
| SN74LVC162244ADGGR | 3.3-V only (no 5-V tolerance); higher IOL (24 mA); smaller 0.4-mm pitch VQFN package | Not compatible with 5-V signal sources; requires redesign for thermal and routing constraints due to QFN footprint | Select for space-constrained, single-rail 3.3-V systems where 5-V interoperability is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ALVTH162244VR, SN74ALVCH162244GR removes bus-hold but retains identical pinout and voltage compatibility, whereas SN74LVC162244ADGGR trades 5-V tolerance for higher drive strength and a different package - both require explicit evaluation of input biasing and layout impact.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ALVTH162244VR?
The SN74ALVTH162244VR is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is explicitly defined in the recommended operating conditions section of the SCES074E datasheet and applies to all electrical and switching specifications under 2.5-V and 3.3-V VCC conditions. The SN74ALVTH162244VR does not support extended military or automotive AEC-Q100 temperature grades.
Does SN74ALVTH162244VR support live insertion in backplane applications?
Yes, SN74ALVTH162244VR supports live insertion through two key mechanisms: outputs are automatically disabled when VCC is off, and the device enters a high-impedance state during power-up and power-down (when VCC ≤ 1.2 V). This prevents bus contention and signal corruption during hot-swap events, making it suitable for modular telecom and industrial backplane designs.
How does the bus-hold circuitry function on SN74ALVTH162244VR inputs?
The bus-hold circuitry on SN74ALVTH162244VR actively maintains valid logic levels on unused or floating data inputs by sourcing or sinking ±75 µA (at VCC = 3 V) to hold VI near VIH min or VIL max. This eliminates the need for external pullup/pulldown resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area while preventing undefined states that could cause downstream logic errors.
What is the significance of the "auto 3-state" feature in SN74ALVTH162244VR?
The auto 3-state feature in SN74ALVTH162244VR causes outputs to automatically enter high-impedance mode when the output voltage exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - for example, during overvoltage faults or when driven by another active source on a shared bus. This protects the device and prevents current conflict, enhancing system robustness without requiring external control logic.
Can SN74ALVTH162244VR be used with a 2.5-V supply rail?
Yes, SN74ALVTH162244VR is fully specified for 2.5-V ± 0.2-V operation, including all DC parameters (VOH/VOL, II, Ioff), AC timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.3 ns), and bus-hold behavior. The device's ABT process ensures stable performance across the full 2.3–3.6-V VCC range, making it suitable for dual-rail systems where both 2.5-V and 3.3-V supplies coexist.
