Product details
Overview
SN74LV244BMDWREP from Texas Instruments is an enhanced-product octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2-V to 5.5-V operation across –55°C to +125°C ambient. It features dual independent output-enable controls (1OE, 2OE), Ioff partial-power-down protection, and ±35-mA output drive per channel. It is used in radiation-tolerant aerospace data buses to isolate and strengthen control signals during system reset or power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet, SN74LV244BMDWREP pinout, SN74LV244BMDWREP application, or SN74LV244BMDWREP equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (2–5.5 V), guaranteed operation at –55°C/+125°C, Ioff-enabled backflow prevention, 3-state timing (tdis ≤ 15.5 ns @ 5 V), and SOIC-20 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The SN74LV244BMDWREP implements two independent 4-channel banks (Bank 1: pins 1A1–1Y4; Bank 2: 2A1–2Y4), each with dedicated active-low output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Its CMOS input structure requires fast transitions (≤20 ns/V at 5 V) and mandates termination of unused inputs to VCC or GND to prevent oscillation.
Outputs are balanced push-pull 3-state drivers with matched sourcing/sinking capability (±12 mA @ 5 V), supporting mixed-voltage interfacing across banks. The integrated Ioff circuit disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to ≤5 µA and preventing damaging current backflow during partial power-down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended military/aerospace environments with full parametric validation. |
| Ioff Leakage | ≤5 µA at 0 V VCC - ensures safe isolation during hot-swap or staged power-up/down without external blocking diodes. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA @ 5 V - drives 50-pF loads while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 3.8 V for robust noise margin. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.9 ns (min) / 6.5 ns (max) @ 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed signal routing in real-time control subsystems. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 Class 3B requirements for handling in controlled manufacturing environments. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 102.3°C/W - allows continuous operation at full load up to +125°C ambient with standard SOIC-20 PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
DW package: 20-pin SOIC, 12.8 mm × 10.3 mm body, surface-mount, gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Input (active low) | Enables/disables Bank 1 outputs (1Y1–1Y4); must be pulled high or driven to disable bank. |
| 1A1–1A4 | Inputs | Noninverting data inputs for Bank 1; require CMOS-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC). |
| 1Y1–1Y4 | Outputs (3-state) | Buffered noninverting outputs for Bank 1; high-impedance when 1OE = high. |
| 2OE | Input (active low) | Enables/disables Bank 2 outputs (2Y1–2Y4); independent control enables staggered bus arbitration. |
| 2A1–2A4 | Inputs | Noninverting data inputs for Bank 2; supports mixed-voltage operation with Bank 1 at different VCC levels. |
| 2Y1–2Y4 | Outputs (3-state) | Buffered noninverting outputs for Bank 2; isolated from Bank 1 for fault containment. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single positive supply (2–5.5 V); requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin 20. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent output-enable | Enables selective activation of Bank 1 or Bank 2-critical for time-multiplexed bus sharing in avionics controllers. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents backflow current when VCC is off-eliminates need for external isolation components in multi-rail systems. |
| Mixed-mode voltage support | Allows Bank 1 and Bank 2 to interface with different logic families simultaneously (e.g., 3.3-V MCU ↔ 5-V peripheral). |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17-ensures reliability in high-noise launch vehicle power environments. |
| Controlled baseline & traceability | Single fab/assembly/test site with full lot traceability-meets DoD-STD-2167A and ISO 9001 aerospace quality requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWREP | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); no Ioff; rated only to +105°C. | Suitable for commercial industrial controllers but not for extended-temp aerospace use. | Select only if operating exclusively at 3.3 V and ambient ≤ +105°C; verify absence of partial-power-down requirement. |
| SN74LVTH244MDWREP | Higher drive (±64 mA); TTL-compatible inputs; same temperature range and Ioff. | Required when interfacing legacy 5-V TTL logic with modern LVCMOS systems. | Choose when driving heavier capacitive loads (>50 pF) or when input VIH/VIL thresholds must match TTL standards. |
Compared with SN74LV244BMDWREP, SN74LVC244APWREP lacks Ioff and extended temperature rating-making it unsuitable for defense/aerospace partial-power-down scenarios-while SN74LVTH244MDWREP adds TTL input compatibility and higher drive strength at the cost of increased ICC, requiring careful thermal evaluation in dense layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74LV244BMDWREP can drive while meeting all datasheet specifications?
The SN74LV244BMDWREP is fully specified for loads ≤50 pF across all VCC and temperature conditions. At 50 pF, propagation delay remains ≤8.5 ns and output voltage margins (VOH/VOL) stay within spec. Driving larger loads increases delay and degrades noise margin; TI recommends adding series damping resistors or using higher-drive variants like SN74LVTH244MDWREP for >50-pF applications. The SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet explicitly states 50 pF as the validated limit for guaranteed timing and DC performance.
Does the SN74LV244BMDWREP support mixed-voltage operation between its two banks?
Yes, the SN74LV244BMDWREP supports mixed-mode voltage operation: Bank 1 (1A1–1Y4) and Bank 2 (2A1–2Y4) may operate at different VCC levels within the 2-V to 5.5-V range, provided each bank's inputs remain within its own VCC domain. This enables direct interfacing between 2.5-V FPGAs and 5-V peripherals without external level translators. The SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet confirms this capability in Section 1 Features and Section 8.3.1.
How does the Ioff feature of the SN74LV244BMDWREP protect the device during partial power-down?
The Ioff circuitry in the SN74LV244BMDWREP disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ≤5 µA per pin regardless of input or output voltages (0–5.5 V). This prevents damaging backflow current from powered downstream circuits into the unpowered SN74LV244BMDWREP, eliminating risk of latch-up or thermal overstress. The SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet specifies Ioff in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics and details its implementation in Section 8.3.3.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor configuration for the SN74LV244BMDWREP?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed physically adjacent to the VCC pin (pin 20) and GND (pin 10) of the SN74LV244BMDWREP. The capacitor must have low ESL/ESR and be mounted with minimal trace length to ensure effective high-frequency noise suppression. Layout guidelines in the SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet (Section 9.4.2) show the capacitor directly bridging VCC–GND with vias to inner ground planes. No additional bulk capacitance is required for typical logic-speed operation.
Can unused inputs on the SN74LV244BMDWREP be left floating?
No, unused inputs on the SN74LV244BMDWREP must never be left floating. As a CMOS device, floating inputs cause excessive power consumption, oscillation, and potential device damage. All unused inputs must be terminated to a valid logic level-either tied directly to VCC or GND, or via a 10-kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistor. This requirement is explicitly stated in Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions and Section 8.3.1 of the SN74LV244BMDWREP datasheet.
