Product details
Overview
SN74AVC16244ZQLR 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™), Ioff partial-power-down support, and overvoltage-tolerant I/Os up to 4.6 V. It delivers ±24 mA dynamic drive at 2.5 V and achieves ≤2 ns max propagation delay, enabling high-speed bus interfacing in mixed-voltage memory and clock systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC16244ZQLR datasheet, SN74AVC16244ZQLR pinout, SN74AVC16244ZQLR application, or SN74AVC16244ZQLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.65–3.6 V VCC range, 48-pin VFBGA (ZQL) package with 0.5-mm pitch, DOC-enabled noise-suppressed switching, Ioff protection for live insertion, and compatibility with 1.2-V data retention mode.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC16244ZQLR implements a patented Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) circuit that dynamically modulates output impedance during signal transitions-initially lowering impedance for fast edge drive, then raising it to suppress simultaneous switching noise without sacrificing speed. This architecture enables clean 2.5-V/3.3-V bus driving while maintaining sub-2-ns tpd.
It supports true 3-state operation via four independent active-low OE inputs (1OE–4OE), allowing flexible partitioning as four 4-bit, two 8-bit, or one 16-bit buffer. Its Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking reverse current flow even when VCC = 0 V and I/Os remain biased at up to 4.6 V.
Key Specifications

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 | No DOC circuit; static ±24 mA drive only; 1.65–3.6 V VCC; same 48-pin TSSOP package. | Lacks dynamic noise suppression-requires additional decoupling or layout mitigation in >150-MHz buses. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise performance and DOC is not required. |
| SN74AVCH16244DGVR | TVSOP-48 package (DGV); identical DOC, Ioff, and electrical specs; 1.65–3.6 V VCC; same pinout but different footprint. | Higher thermal resistance (58°C/W vs ZQL's 42°C/W); less suitable for thermally constrained embedded modules. | Select when board space allows larger TVSOP footprint and thermal margin exceeds 15°C/W requirement. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and SN74AVCH16244DGVR, the SN74AVC16244ZQLR uniquely combines DOC-enabled noise reduction, lowest thermal impedance among pin-compatible variants, and VFBGA packaging optimized for high-density portable electronics-making it the preferred choice for compact, noise-sensitive, mixed-voltage designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for functional operation of the SN74AVC16244ZQLR?
The SN74AVC16244ZQLR operates functionally down to 1.4 V VCC under recommended conditions. At 1.2 V, it retains data but does not guarantee full logic functionality-this mode is intended solely for low-power hold states. The device is explicitly designed for reliable 1.65–3.6 V operation, with all AC/DC specifications validated across that range. For continuous active operation, maintain VCC ≥ 1.4 V.
Does the SN74AVC16244ZQLR support hot-swap applications, and how is this implemented?
Yes, the SN74AVC16244ZQLR supports hot-swap applications via its Ioff circuitry, which actively disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±10 µA when VCC = 0 V-even if inputs or outputs are biased at up to 4.6 V. This prevents damaging backfeed into unpowered circuitry during live insertion. To ensure Hi-Z state at power-up, TI recommends tying each OE pin to VCC through a pullup resistor sized per the driver's sink capability.
How does the Dynamic Output Control (DOC™) circuit in the SN74AVC16244ZQLR reduce noise without degrading speed?
The DOC™ circuit in the SN74AVC16244ZQLR dynamically lowers output impedance at signal transition onset to deliver peak current (equivalent to ±24 mA), ensuring fast edge rates, then rapidly increases impedance mid-transition to suppress ringing and ground bounce. This two-phase control cuts simultaneous switching noise by >30% while maintaining ≤2 ns propagation delay-verified in TI application report SCEA009 using controlled impedance test boards.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74AVC16244ZQLR in its ZQL package, and how does it compare to other variants?
The SN74AVC16244ZQLR in the VFBGA ZQL package has a θJA of 42°C/W, measured per JESD 51. This is significantly lower than the TSSOP (DGG) variant at 70°C/W and the TVSOP (DGV) variant at 58°C/W. The improved thermal performance results from the ZQL package's enhanced copper pad exposure and shorter internal thermal path-making SN74AVC16244ZQLR optimal for thermally constrained applications like handheld devices and dense compute modules.
Can the SN74AVC16244ZQLR be used to interface between 1.2-V and 3.3-V logic domains, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the SN74AVC16244ZQLR supports 1.2-V to 4.6-V I/O voltage tolerance regardless of VCC setting, enabling direct 1.2-V ↔ 3.3-V interfacing without level shifters. When VCC = 1.2 V, the device retains data but does not guarantee full AC performance; for active translation, set VCC ≥ 1.65 V. Inputs accept 1.2-V logic levels safely, and outputs drive 3.3-V loads with VOL ≤ 0.7 V at 12 mA, satisfying 3.3-V LVTTL thresholds.
