Product details
Overview
SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive octal buffer/driver IC with dual 4-channel banks, 3-state outputs, 2 V–5.5 V supply operation, 6.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and Ioff partial-power-down support - used for signal routing and bus isolation in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 datasheet, SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 pinout, SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 application, or SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), WRKS WQFN-20 wettable-flank package compatibility, mixed-voltage interface capability, and bank-level 3-state control via independent OE pins.
Technical Context
The SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer banks, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE/2OE). Its CMOS architecture supports bidirectional voltage translation across banks - inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling mixed-mode interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs and limits leakage to ≤5 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during power sequencing. The device uses balanced push-pull outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±16 mA at 5 V, with defined VOL/VOH performance across –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| tpd (max) | 6.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures timing compliance in high-speed automotive data paths (e.g., sensor multiplexing). |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (Grade 1) - qualified for under-hood and safety-critical ECU environments per AEC-Q100. |
| Ioff Leakage | ≤5 µA at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe partial-power-down operation during controller reset or sleep mode. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads and standard CMOS/TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±4 kV, CDM ±2 kV - meets automotive robustness requirements for assembly and field operation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows 5 V-tolerant inputs even when VCC = 2.5 V, supporting legacy interface coexistence. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 is packaged in a 20-pin WQFN (WRKS) with 0.4 mm pitch, 4.50 mm × 2.50 mm body size, and wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low bank enable inputs | Control 4-channel output groups independently; tie to VCC via pull-up for power-up high-impedance safety. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Buffer input terminals | Noninverting inputs for respective banks; CMOS-compatible with rail-to-rail voltage tolerance. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive external loads only when OE is low; enter high-Z state otherwise to prevent bus contention. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Positive supply | Single supply powers both banks; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient, meeting automotive reliability and lifetime requirements. |
| Wettable-flank WRKS package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of side-solder fillets, improving manufacturing yield and traceability in automotive SMT lines. |
| Mixed-mode voltage interface | Accepts 0–5.5 V inputs irrespective of VCC setting - eliminates need for external level translators in multi-rail systems. |
| Bank-selectable 3-state control | Two independent OE pins allow staggered bus arbitration or selective channel shutdown without affecting other bank functionality. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents damaging current flow between powered and unpowered sections during hot-plug or power sequencing events. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Signal Routing | ADAS Camera Interface Buffering |

Use Value: Dual OE control allows real-time switching between display sub-systems; 2 V–5.5 V operation matches diverse panel voltage rails. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC min (1.65 V), higher speed (4.2 ns tpd @ 3.3 V), but no wettable flanks in PW package. | Preferred for 1.8 V–3.3 V-only systems requiring tighter timing; unsuitable where AOI inspection of QFN side joints is mandated. | Select when operating exclusively below 3.6 V and board-level AOI is not required. |
| MC74VHC244DTG | Non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q100), wider VCC (2–5.5 V), same pinout but DIP-20 package only. | Limited to prototyping or non-safety-critical industrial use; lacks thermal metrics and automotive qualification documentation. | Use only for bench validation or cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where WRKS packaging is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1, SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 offers faster timing at lower voltages but sacrifices manufacturability assurance, while MC74VHC244DTG provides functional equivalence without automotive compliance - making SN74LV244AQWRKSRQ1 the sole choice for production-grade WRKS-packaged, AEC-Q100-compliant octal buffering.
