Product details
Overview
SN74LVC16244ADLR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting 3-state buffer/driver with four independent 4-bit sections, operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply, supporting 5.5-V-tolerant inputs and delivering ≤4.6 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V - used in memory address buffering, bus isolation, and mixed-voltage level translation between 3.3-V logic and 5-V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC16244ADLR datasheet, SN74LVC16244ADLR pinout, SN74LVC16244ADLR application, or SN74LVC16244ADLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its quad 4-bit 3-state architecture, Ioff live-insertion support, ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, thermal performance in SSOP-48 (RθJA = 68.4°C/W), and compatibility with TSSOP/TVSOP alternatives for layout flexibility.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each controlled by an active-low output-enable (OE) input (1OE–4OE), enabling selective bus section isolation. All inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct interfacing with 5-V signal sources while powered from 3.3-V or lower rails.
It features Ioff protection that disables all outputs and isolates inputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during partial power-down. Output ground bounce (VOLP) remains <0.8 V and VOH undershoot >2 V at VCC = 3.3 V, ensuring signal integrity in high-speed digital systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across low-voltage logic families including LVTTL and LVCMOS. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables robust level translation from legacy 5-V systems without external resistors or translators. |
| tpd Max | 4.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = –40°C to 125°C - ensures timing-critical bus driving in servers and telecom infrastructure. |
| IOL/IOH Max | ±24 mA per output at VCC = 3.0 V - drives moderate capacitive loads (e.g., 30–50 pF) with fast edge rates and minimal distortion. |
| Ioff | ±20 μA at VI/VO = 5.5 V, VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe hot-plug and partial-power-down operation in modular backplanes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications including network switches and set-top boxes. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114 and JESD22-C101 for reliable handling in automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC16244ADLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package measuring 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm, with 0.635-mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output enable (4×) | Individually disables corresponding 4-bit buffer section; enables true 3-state isolation per group. |
| 1A1–4A4 | Input (16×) | 5.5-V-tolerant CMOS inputs accepting 1.65–3.6-V logic levels or higher voltage signals. |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | Noninverting buffered output (16×) | High-drive (±24 mA) 3-state outputs with controlled VOLP/VOHV for clean signal transmission. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus layouts. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths essential for stable high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 4-bit 3-state architecture | Enables flexible partitioning - use as one 16-bit, two 8-bit, or four independent 4-bit buffers with per-section OE control. |
| 5.5-V tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external level-shifting components when interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents damaging current flow during hot-swap or system sleep modes, critical for modular server and telecom designs. |
| Low ground bounce & undershoot | VOLP < 0.8 V and VOHV > 2 V at 3.3 V ensure signal fidelity on shared PCB traces and reduce EMI risk. |
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Supports simultaneous 3.3-V VCC and 5-V input/output voltages - simplifies integration into heterogeneous voltage-domain systems. |

Does SN74LVC16244ADLR support level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic?
Yes, SN74LVC16244ADLR supports down-translation: its inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), allowing direct connection to 5-V signal sources while powered from 3.3 V - no external resistors or translators needed, and outputs remain compatible with 3.3-V logic thresholds.
How many output-enable (OE) inputs does SN74LVC16244ADLR have?
SN74LVC16244ADLR has four active-low output-enable inputs - 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE - each controlling a dedicated 4-bit buffer section (e.g., 1OE enables/disables outputs 1Y1–1Y4), enabling granular bus segmentation and dynamic power gating in complex digital systems.
What is the typical propagation delay of SN74LVC16244ADLR at 3.3 V?
The typical propagation delay (tpd) of SN74LVC16244ADLR is 4.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C, with a maximum of 4.6 ns across the full –40°C to 125°C range - verified under 30-pF load and ±0.3-V transition thresholds, ensuring predictable timing in high-speed address and control buses.
