Product details
Overview
SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified octal noninverting buffer/line driver with independent 3-state outputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivering ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, with typical propagation delay of 13 ns (at 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and supporting memory address bus driving in vehicle control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 datasheet, SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 pinout, SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 application, or SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive AEC-Q100 qualification, TTL-compatible inputs, high-current 3-state bus driving capability, and thermal performance under −40°C to +125°C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 implements two independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) control. Its logic function is strictly noninverting: when OE is low, A inputs pass directly to Y outputs; when OE is high, all Y outputs enter high-impedance state.
This device uses HCMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and delivers rail-to-rail CMOS-level outputs. It supports bus-oriented bidirectional data flow control via separate OE pins, enabling time-multiplexed address/data sharing on shared PCB traces without contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V automotive power rails and robust noise margin. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 13 ns typ @ 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in 30-MHz+ address/data strobe applications. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA @ 5 V - drives up to 15 LSTTL loads, sufficient for fanout across multiple downstream logic devices. |
| Input Current | ≤1 μA max - minimizes loading on upstream signal sources and preserves signal integrity in high-density routing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for engine bay and ADAS ECU deployment. |
| ESD Protection | >200 V (machine model), >1000 V (MIL-STD-883) - withstands handling and board-level transients in automotive assembly environments. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 μA max - enables low-static-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, lead finish NIPDAU, MSL Level-3 (260°C, 168 hr).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable control (active-low) | Independent enable for each 4-bit section; asserts low to activate Y outputs, high to tri-state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Noninverting input terminals for respective buffer sections; TTL-voltage compatible (0.8 V/2 V thresholds). |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Buffered outputs | CMOS-level outputs with ±6 mA drive; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| VCC (Pin 19) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply connection; requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), including stress testing per automotive reliability standards. |
| Independent dual 4-bit OE control | Enables selective activation of address vs. data bus segments without external gating logic or timing overlap risk. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard TTL voltage levels (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), eliminating need for level-shifting in mixed-logic systems. |
| Low ICC and IOZ | 80 μA max quiescent current and ≤10 μA max off-state leakage ensure minimal standby power in battery-sensitive modules. |
| High-noise-immunity outputs | CMOS rail-to-rail swing with 6 mA drive provides >400 mV noise margin at 5 V, critical for noisy vehicle harness environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT244PWRG4Q1 | Same electrical specs and pinout; differs only in lead finish (NIPDAU vs. matte tin) and MSL rating (Level-1 vs. Level-3). | Preferred for reflow processes requiring unlimited floor life; less suitable for long-term storage before assembly. | Select when production line uses Level-1 reflow profile and no extended dry-pack requirement exists. |
| SN74LVTH244APWRG4Q1 | Lower VCC range (2.7–3.6 V); higher speed (tpd = 3.5 ns typ); LVCMOS input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min at 3.3 V). | Designed for 3.3-V systems; incompatible with 5-V buses without level translation; not drop-in for legacy 5-V designs. | Choose only when migrating to 3.3-V architecture and redesigning power delivery and signal thresholds. |
Compared with SN74HCT244QPWRQ1, SN74HCT244PWRG4Q1 offers identical functionality with relaxed moisture sensitivity but reduced storage lifetime, while SN74LVTH244APWRG4Q1 delivers faster timing at lower voltage but requires full system-level voltage domain redesign.

FAQ
What automotive qualification does SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 meet?
The SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards, covering operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with full reliability testing including HTOL, TC, and ESD per MIL-STD-883. This makes SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 suitable for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems where thermal and electrical robustness are mandatory.
Does SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 support 3.3-V input logic levels?
No, SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) optimized for 5-V systems. While it may function with 3.3-V inputs in some cases, TI does not guarantee operation outside the specified 4.5–5.5 V supply range or with sub-threshold input voltages. For 3.3-V interfaces, SN74LVTH244APWRG4Q1 is the designated alternative.
How many independent output-enable controls does SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 have?
SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 has two independent active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE controls Y1–Y4, and 2OE controls Y5–Y8. This allows selective activation of either 4-bit group without affecting the other, enabling flexible bus segmentation in memory-mapped peripherals or multi-master arbitration schemes.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 can drive reliably?
SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 is characterized for CL = 50 pF and CL = 150 pF loads in its switching specifications. At 150 pF and 5.5 V, typical propagation delay is 40 ns, and output rise/fall times remain within 16 ns. Driving beyond 150 pF risks timing violations and increased power dissipation; for heavier loads, consider buffering or using lower-capacitance PCB routing.
Is SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard SN74HCT244 variants?
Yes, SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 shares identical pinout, function table, and electrical behavior with commercial SN74HCT244 devices in TSSOP-20 (PW) package. The "Q1" suffix denotes automotive qualification and enhanced reliability screening, but no changes are made to pin assignment, logic behavior, or DC/AC parameters - making SN74HCT244QPWRQ1 a direct replacement in existing 5-V designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance.
