Product details
Overview
SN74LV244ATNSR from Texas Instruments is an octal buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory-address, clock, and bus-oriented applications. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, supports partial-power-down via Ioff, and delivers typical propagation delay of 5.4 ns at 5 V. Used in industrial control backplanes and embedded data buses.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV244ATNSR datasheet, SN74LV244ATNSR pinout, SN74LV244ATNSR application, or SN74LV244ATNSR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output control timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 12 ns), Ioff leakage (<5 µA), mixed-mode voltage support, and SOP-20 package compatibility with legacy 74-series layouts.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) inputs-1OE controls Y1–Y4, 2OE controls Y5–Y8. Outputs enter high-impedance state when respective OE is high, enabling bidirectional bus isolation without external logic.
It implements Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing current backflow when VCC = 0 V while inputs remain biased. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are TTL-compatible across the full 4.5–5.5 V supply range, ensuring interoperability with legacy 5-V logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 5.4 ns typical at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables reliable timing in 100+ MHz bus systems with margin. |
| Ioff Leakage | <5 µA at 0–5.5 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA per output - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads and standard CMOS/TTL fan-out (10+ units). |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level VIH/VIL (2 V/0.8 V) - Direct interface with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, 2.65 mm max height. RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE / 2OE | Active-low output-enable controls first/second 4-bit buffer group independently. |
| 2–5, 13–16 | 1A1–1A4 / 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting input terminals for respective buffer sections. |
| 6–9, 11–14 | 1Y1–1Y4 / 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs - high-Z when OE = high, otherwise Y = A. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary 4.5–5.5 V supply for logic core and output stages. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Disables outputs and limits Ioff to <5 µA when VCC = 0 V - enables safe insertion into live backplanes. |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V at 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for external level translators with legacy 5-V logic. |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - reduces noise coupling into shared ground planes in dense PCB layouts. |
| Fast Enable/Disable Timing | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 8 ns at CL = 15 pF - minimizes bus contention windows during direction switching. |
| Mixed-Mode Voltage Operation | Inputs tolerate 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows interfacing with 3.3-V controllers driving 5-V buses. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus Driver | Microcontroller I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA); faster tpd (3.9 ns) | Requires level shifting for 5-V buses; unsuitable for mixed 5-V/3.3-V systems | Select when system runs entirely at 3.3 V and needs higher speed. |
| 74ACT244SCX | 5-V only (4.5–5.5 V); higher drive (±24 mA); higher ICC (40 µA typ) | No Ioff support; not safe for partial-power-down; higher static power | Select when Ioff is unnecessary and maximum output current is critical. |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and 74ACT244SCX, the SN74LV244ATNSR uniquely balances 5-V operation, Ioff safety, and TTL compatibility - making it the only choice for industrial backplanes where hot-swap reliability and legacy interface coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LV244ATNSR?
The SN74LV244ATNSR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This extended industrial temperature range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, motor drives, and outdoor communication equipment where thermal cycling and sustained high-temperature operation occur. The SOP-20 package's θJA of 60°C/W supports this rating under standard PCB copper pour conditions.
Does SN74LV244ATNSR support hot-swap insertion into a live 5-V bus?
Yes, SN74LV244ATNSR supports hot-swap via its Ioff circuitry: when VCC = 0 V, Ioff leakage remains below 5 µA even with inputs biased at 0–5.5 V, preventing damaging back-current flow. To ensure safe insertion, tie 1OE and 2OE to VCC through ≥10-kΩ pull-up resistors before power application - this forces outputs into high-Z state during power ramp-up, eliminating bus contention. This behavior is verified per JESD78 latch-up testing (>250 mA).
Can SN74LV244ATNSR interface directly between a 3.3-V microcontroller and a 5-V peripheral?
Yes, SN74LV244ATNSR supports mixed-mode voltage operation: its inputs accept 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC (set to 5 V), so 3.3-V logic levels from a microcontroller meet VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V thresholds with margin. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to 5 V), driving 5-V peripherals directly. No level shifter is needed - confirmed by TI's SCES572C datasheet Section 7.3 and Electrical Characteristics Table.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on SN74LV244ATNSR?
Texas Instruments recommends tying 1OE and 2OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor to guarantee high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability: for SN74LV244ATNSR, a 10-kΩ resistor ensures OE remains above VIH (2 V) while sinking <100 µA - well within the device's specified II input current limit (±1 µA). A 4.7-kΩ to 10-kΩ range provides optimal noise immunity and rise-time balance per TI application note SCBA004.
How does SN74LV244ATNSR differ from SN74LV244A in terms of electrical performance?
The SN74LV244ATNSR is the tape-and-reel production version of the SN74LV244A family - identical electrically and functionally. "T" denotes enhanced manufacturing process (tighter parameter distributions), and "NSR" specifies SOP-20 packaging with 2000-unit reels. All key specs - tpd = 5.4 ns, Ioff < 5 µA, VOH = 3.8 V at –16 mA - match the base SN74LV244A datasheet (SCES572C). No performance trade-offs exist between variants; only packaging and logistics differ.
