Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2244ADBR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. It features two independent 4-bit sections (1A–1Y and 2A–2Y), dual output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE), 5.5 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, 26-Ω integrated output series resistance, and 5.5-V tolerant inputs - enabling use in mixed-voltage I/O interfacing between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2244ADBR datasheet, SN74LVC2244ADBR pinout, SN74LVC2244ADBR application, or SN74LVC2244ADBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Ioff support for live insertion and partial-power-down, ±12 mA output drive capability per channel, 3-state bus isolation behavior, and SSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial control and server backplane designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2244ADBR implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state control: each section (1 and 2) has four inputs (1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4), four outputs (1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4), and one dedicated output-enable input (1OE, 2OE). Outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high; data passes through when OE is low.
Its CMOS design supports mixed-mode signal operation: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling level translation without external components. The Ioff feature disables all outputs and isolates inputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during hot-swap or power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into modern low-voltage digital systems including battery-powered IoT nodes and 3.3-V FPGA I/O banks. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5-V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| tpd (Max) | 5.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data buffering in timing-critical applications such as memory interface expansion or sensor data aggregation. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA per output at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or multiple CMOS loads without external drivers. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - ensures robust isolation during hot-plug events or partial system power-down in modular industrial equipment. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements for deployment in factory automation and test instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC2244ADBR is packaged in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with body dimensions of 7.20 mm × 5.30 mm and 0.65-mm lead pitch. This compact surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides thermal performance suitable for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls for respective 4-bit sections - tying high disables outputs into high-impedance state for bus sharing. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17 | 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Buffer input terminals - accept 5.5-V-tolerant logic signals and pass through to corresponding Y outputs when OE is asserted. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs - include built-in 26-Ω series resistance to dampen overshoot/undershoot on transmission lines. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output current return path. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary power supply input - must be decoupled with ≥0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stable switching operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-Ω Output Series Resistance | Eliminates need for external termination resistors on PCB traces, reducing component count and layout complexity in high-speed digital interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244A | Same logic function and pinout but lacks Ioff support and has higher ICC (10 μA vs. 5 μA typical) - no partial-power-down capability. | Suitable only for fully powered systems; not recommended for hot-swap or modular chassis requiring live insertion. | Select SN74LVC244A only if Ioff is unnecessary and lower static current is not required. |
| 74LVC244APW | TSSOP-20 package (6.5 mm × 4.4 mm) instead of SSOP-20 (7.2 mm × 5.3 mm); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts where footprint area is constrained more than height or thermal mass. | Choose 74LVC244APW when board real estate is prioritized over thermal dissipation or mechanical robustness. |
Compared with SN74LVC2244ADBR, SN74LVC244A omits Ioff and offers less robust ESD protection, while 74LVC244APW delivers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but with reduced thermal margin - making SN74LVC2244ADBR optimal for industrial environments requiring hot-swap resilience and stable thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74LVC2244ADBR?
The SN74LVC2244ADBR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, network switches, and outdoor test equipment where environmental extremes are common. The device maintains specified electrical characteristics-including propagation delay, output drive, and Ioff behavior-across this full range, as validated in TI's SCAS572L datasheet revision July 2014.
Does SN74LVC2244ADBR support 5-V input signals when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74LVC2244ADBR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65 V to 3.6 V), enabling seamless interfacing between 5-V legacy peripherals and 3.3-V host logic. This overvoltage tolerance is implemented at the silicon level and does not require external clamping diodes or level translators. The SN74LVC2244ADBR datasheet explicitly confirms this capability in Section 7.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Feature #2.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74LVC2244ADBR during power-down?
The Ioff feature in SN74LVC2244ADBR disables all outputs and isolates inputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing current backflow from powered system sections into unpowered ones. This protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap events or partial power-down sequences. The SN74LVC2244ADBR maintains this behavior across its full –40°C to +85°C operating range and is verified per JESD78 latch-up testing standards.
What package type is used for SN74LVC2244ADBR, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
SN74LVC2244ADBR uses the SSOP-20 (DB) package with nominal body dimensions of 7.20 mm × 5.30 mm and 0.65-mm lead pitch. Its lead finish is NiPdAu (NIPDAU), moisture sensitivity level is Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), and it is RoHS compliant. These specifications are confirmed in TI's official Package Option Addendum dated 10-Nov-2025.
Can SN74LVC2244ADBR drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, SN74LVC2244ADBR can directly drive standard TTL loads due to its ±12 mA output drive capability at VCC = 3.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V / VOH ≥ 2.4 V under those conditions. Its 26-Ω integrated series resistance also helps match typical PCB trace impedances, reducing overshoot when driving capacitive TTL inputs. This capability is documented in Sections 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) and 9.1 (Detailed Description) of the SN74LVC2244ADBR datasheet.
