Product details
Overview
SN74LVC162244 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. It integrates four independent 4-bit buffers, each with active-low output-enable (OE) control, bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, and on-die 26-Ω series output resistors. It is used in memory address buffering, clock distribution, and high-density bus interfacing where low ground bounce (<0.8 V) and controlled edge rates are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC162244 datasheet, SN74LVC162244 pinout, SN74LVC162244 application, or SN74LVC162244 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V compatible I/O, ±12-mA drive strength at 3 V, bus-hold functionality eliminating external biasing, and DGG package's 48-pin TSSOP footprint optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device belongs to TI's Widebus™ family and is fabricated using EPIC™ submicron CMOS technology. It implements true (noninverting) logic with symmetrical active-low OE inputs per 4-bit group - 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE - enabling independent control of four output ports. Each output includes integrated 26-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.
The SN74LVC162244 features bus-hold circuitry on all 16 A-inputs, maintaining valid logic levels on floating or unused inputs. Its absolute maximum ratings allow VCC up to 4.6 V and input/output voltage ranges from –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V, supporting mixed-voltage interface scenarios while maintaining latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD-17).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3-V systems and tolerance for supply variation in industrial environments. |
| IOL/IOH | ±12 mA at VCC = 3 V - supports direct driving of multiple LVC/LVT inputs or moderate capacitive loads without fanout buffers. |
| tpd | 1.5 ns to 7 ns (VCC = 3.3 V) - enables high-speed address/data buffering in memory subsystems with tight timing budgets. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 2 V - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels, removing need for external pullup/pulldown resistors. |
| Output Series Resistor | 26 Ω (typical) - reduces signal reflections and EMI by damping transmission-line effects on PCB traces. |
| VOLP/VOHV | <0.8 V / >2 V at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes ground bounce and output undershoot during switching, improving signal integrity. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended temperature range use in industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC162244 is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline (DGG) package - 12.5 mm × 7.5 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5-mm lead pitch - suitable for automated SMT assembly and high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control | Individually disables corresponding 4-bit output group (Y1–Y4) into high-impedance state; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up for safe Z-state initialization. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | All 16 inputs feature bus-hold circuitry; no external bias required even when left unconnected in partial-bus configurations. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True (noninverting) buffered outputs | Each output includes 26-Ω series resistor; sinks up to 12 mA or sources up to –12 mA at VCC = 3 V. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce supply inductance and improve noise immunity across the wide 16-bit bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for minimizing simultaneous switching noise in multi-bit drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for 16 discrete external termination resistors, reducing BOM count, PCB area, and layout complexity. |
| Bus-hold on all 16 data inputs | Maintains stable logic states on unterminated or floating inputs, preventing metastability and system lockup in hot-plug or partial-bus scenarios. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Reduces noise coupling into adjacent signals and power rails, enabling reliable operation in mixed-signal or RF-sensitive systems. |
| Wide operating temperature range | –40°C to +85°C rating supports deployment in industrial automation, telecom infrastructure, and automotive control modules. |
| EPIC™ submicron CMOS process | Delivers high speed with low static current (20 µA typical ICC), enabling energy-efficient buffering in always-on subsystems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVC162244DGGR | Lower VCC range (1.65 V–3.6 V); higher speed (tpd down to 1.3 ns); identical pinout and bus-hold. | Better suited for mixed-voltage 1.8-V/3.3-V systems; not recommended if only 2.7–3.6-V operation is required and cost sensitivity is high. | Select SN74ALVC162244DGGR only when 1.8-V core logic coexists with 3.3-V I/O; otherwise, SN74LVC162244 offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
| 74LVC162244PW,118 | NXP variant in TSSOP-48 (same DGG footprint); identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 65°C/W vs TI's 70°C/W). | Drop-in replacement in layout; minor thermal margin difference may affect sustained high-current operation in sealed enclosures. | Acceptable for most board-level replacements; verify junction temperature rise under worst-case 12-mA-per-output loading if ambient exceeds 70°C. |
Compared with SN74ALVC162244DGGR and 74LVC162244PW,118, the SN74LVC162244 provides the most balanced trade-off of industrial temperature support, proven reliability in memory and clock buffering, and cost efficiency for 3.3-V-only designs - without over-specifying voltage range or thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the function of the bus-hold circuitry in the SN74LVC162244?
The bus-hold circuitry in the SN74LVC162244 actively maintains a valid logic state on each of its 16 data inputs when left floating or unconnected. It draws ±75 µA at VI = 2 V to hold inputs at their last valid level, eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors in partial-bus or hot-swap configurations. This feature is integral to every A-input pin of the SN74LVC162244 and operates across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Can the SN74LVC162244 operate at 2.5 V?
No, the SN74LVC162244 is not characterized or guaranteed for operation at 2.5 V. Its recommended operating VCC range is strictly 2.7 V to 3.6 V per the datasheet. At 2.5 V, parameters including VOH, VOL, tpd, and bus-hold functionality fall outside specification limits. For 2.5-V systems, consider the SN74ALVC162244, which supports 1.65 V–3.6 V operation and shares the same DGG package and pinout as the SN74LVC162244.
How many output-enable (OE) inputs does the SN74LVC162244 have, and how are they assigned?
The SN74LVC162244 has four active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE (Pin 1), 2OE (Pin 48), 3OE (Pin 25), and 4OE (Pin 24). Each controls one 4-bit output group - 1OE enables Y1–Y4, 2OE enables Y5–Y8, 3OE enables Y9–Y12, and 4OE enables Y13–Y16. This grouping allows independent 3-state control of four distinct bus segments, a key architectural feature of the SN74LVC162244.
What is the purpose of the 26-Ω series resistors on the SN74LVC162244 outputs?
The 26-Ω series resistors integrated into each output of the SN74LVC162244 serve to damp signal reflections on PCB traces, reducing overshoot and undershoot during fast edge transitions. They eliminate the need for 16 discrete external series termination resistors, simplifying layout and lowering BOM cost. This design directly contributes to the SN74LVC162244's specified VOHV > 2 V and VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V.
Is the SN74LVC162244 pin-compatible with other 16-bit LVC buffers in TSSOP-48 packages?
Yes, the SN74LVC162244 is pin-compatible with the SN74ALVC162244DGGR and NXP's 74LVC162244PW,118 in the DGG (TSSOP-48) package. All three share identical pin assignments for VCC, GND, A-inputs, Y-outputs, and OE controls. However, voltage range and thermal characteristics differ - the SN74LVC162244 is optimized for 2.7–3.6-V operation, while the ALVC variant extends down to 1.65 V.
