Product details
Overview
SN74AVC16244GQLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V operation and featuring Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) for noise reduction without speed degradation. It supports mixed-voltage-mode data communications via overvoltage-tolerant I/Os, delivers ±24 mA dynamic drive at 2.5 V, and enables partial-power-down mode via Ioff. Used in memory address buffering, clock distribution, and bus transceivers in industrial and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC16244GQLR datasheet, SN74AVC16244GQLR pinout, SN74AVC16244GQLR application, or SN74AVC16244GQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.65–3.6-V supply range, DOC-enabled low-noise switching, 1.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, Ioff support for hot-insertion, and VFBGA-48 (GQL) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC16244GQLR implements a DOC™ circuit that dynamically modulates output impedance: lowering it during signal transitions for strong drive strength (equivalent to ±24 mA standard outputs), then raising it post-transition to suppress ringing and crosstalk. This preserves timing integrity while reducing EMI.
It features four independent 4-bit sections, each with symmetrical active-low OE inputs and true (noninverting) outputs. The Ioff circuit ensures outputs remain high-impedance during power-down, blocking current backflow when VCC = 0 V - critical for system-level power sequencing and hot-swap compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1.7 ns max at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed address/data buffering in DDR memory subsystems and FPGA I/O expansion. |
| Dynamic Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 2.5 V - matches standard-output buffers while maintaining low noise via DOC™ control. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current flow during partial power-down or hot-plug events. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to 4.6 V - overvoltage tolerance allows safe operation with 5-V signals on I/O pins even when VCC ≤ 3.6 V. |
| Output Enable Time (ten) | 3.5 ns max at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures rapid bus arbitration and fast peripheral enable/disable cycles. |
| Power Dissipation (Cpd) | 33 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - quantifies dynamic loading on driving source; critical for fanout and clock tree design. |
Pinout & Package
VFBGA-48 (GQL) package: 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, bottom-side ball array, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 42°C/W enables reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable inputs | Independently control four 4-bit sections; tie to VCC via pullup for power-up high-Z safety. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | True (noninverting) inputs per section; accept 1.2–3.6-V logic levels with overvoltage tolerance. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive loads up to ±24 mA; DOC™ ensures clean edges without overshoot/ringing. |
| VCC (pins A3, A4, C3, C4, D3, D4, H3, H4, J3, J4) | Supply voltage | Decoupling required at each VCC pair; supports simultaneous multi-rail operation across sections. |
| GND (pins B3, B4, D1, D2, F3, F4, G3, G4, J1, J2) | Ground reference | Multiple GND balls minimize ground bounce and improve signal integrity in high-speed switching. |
| NC (pins A2, A5, A6, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; no routing or stitching vias required on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by 30–50% vs. fixed-drive buffers while maintaining <2 ns propagation delay. |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/Os | Withstand –0.5 V to 4.6 V regardless of VCC - eliminates external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage interconnects. |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Enables safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and modular systems without disrupting upstream logic. |
| Widebus™ Architecture | Optimized pinout and layout for minimal trace length and crosstalk in high-density memory and bus applications. |
| Low Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 6 pF, Co = 6.5 pF at 3.3 V - reduces loading on drivers and improves signal rise/fall times. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | No DOC™ circuit; fixed-output drive; higher static current (ICC = 10 µA typ vs. 3.5 µA); VCC min = 1.65 V. | Lacks dynamic noise suppression - unsuitable for noise-sensitive clock or high-frequency address buses. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-speed designs where EMI is not critical and DOC™ is unnecessary. |
| SN74AVCH16244DGVR | Same DOC™ and Ioff features; TVSOP-48 package (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm); θJA = 58°C/W; identical electrical specs. | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance - less suitable for ultra-compact or thermally constrained modules. | Choose when board layout requires surface-mount SOP-style assembly or rework accessibility outweighs size constraints. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and SN74AVCH16244DGVR, the SN74AVC16244GQLR uniquely combines DOC™-enabled noise control, VFBGA-48 miniaturization, and 42°C/W thermal performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed, mixed-voltage embedded systems requiring robust EMI management.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the SN74AVC16244GQLR?
The SN74AVC16244GQLR operates down to 1.4 V per recommended conditions, though data retention is guaranteed at 1.2 V. For full functionality including specified drive strength and timing, 1.65 V is the minimum recommended VCC. Below 1.65 V, VOL and VOH margins degrade, and DOC™ behavior may deviate from characterization.
Does the SN74AVC16244GQLR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, each OE pin (1OE–4OE) must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. TI recommends ≥10 kΩ for most applications; the exact value depends on the current-sinking capability of the controlling driver and required turn-on speed.
Can the SN74AVC16244GQLR safely interface a 3.3-V microcontroller with a 1.8-V FPGA?
Yes - the SN74AVC16244GQLR's overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept 3.3-V signals at VCC = 1.8 V, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the 1.8-V domain. No level-shifting components are needed, provided VCC is set to the target output voltage (1.8 V) and input thresholds (VIH/VIL) are met per the datasheet.
How does the DOC™ circuit in the SN74AVC16244GQLR reduce noise without slowing performance?
The DOC™ circuit in the SN74AVC16244GQLR first lowers output impedance during signal transition for strong edge drive (matching ±24 mA standard outputs), then rapidly increases impedance after crossing the logic threshold to damp ringing. This dual-phase control cuts simultaneous switching noise by up to 50% while maintaining 1.7 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V - preserving timing budgets.
Is the SN74AVC16244GQLR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the SN74AVC16244GQLR is RoHS-compliant and uses NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) ball finish on its VFBGA package. It meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is rated for peak reflow at 260°C, fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles.
