Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 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), each with dedicated output-enable (1OE/2OE), supports 5.5-V tolerant inputs, delivers ≤5.5 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and integrates 26-Ω series output resistors-enabling direct interface with high-speed digital buses in mixed-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 datasheet, SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 pinout, SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 application, or SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Ioff support for live insertion, ±12 mA output drive capability per channel, 3-state timing parameters (ten/tdis ≤7.1 ns at 3.3 V), and compatibility with 1.8-V/2.5-V/3.3-V logic families in industrial control and data acquisition subsystems.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state control: 1OE governs outputs Y1–Y4, while 2OE controls Y1–Y4 of the second section. Each output stage includes integrated 26-Ω series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components.
It supports mixed-mode signal operation-inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling seamless level translation between 5-V legacy peripherals and 3.3-V or lower core logic. The Ioff feature isolates inputs and outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during partial power-down.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244A | No integrated 26-Ω output resistors; requires external series termination for EMI control | Suitable for lower-speed (<50 MHz) or low-capacitance (<5 pF) routing where ringing is not critical | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs layout simplicity and EMI performance requirements |
| SN74LVCH244A | Includes bus-hold circuitry on inputs; higher ICC (10 μA vs. 5 μA typical) and slightly slower tpd (6.5 ns) | Better suited for systems with floating or unterminated control lines where input state retention is required | Choose when driving long, unterminated traces or unconnected switches where bus-hold prevents metastability |
Compared with SN74LVC2244ADBRG4, SN74LVC244A lacks integrated output termination-increasing layout effort and EMI risk-while SN74LVCH244A adds bus-hold but trades off speed and quiescent current, making SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 optimal for high-fidelity, low-component-count 3.3-V/5-V interface designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4?
The SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official datasheet (SCAS572L, Rev. L). This range applies to all electrical specifications including tpd, VOH/VOL, and Ioff, and is validated across the SSOP (DB) package variant used in SN74LVC2244ADBRG4.
Does the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 support 5-V input signals while powered from a 3.3-V supply?
Yes, the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, including when VCC = 3.3 V. This is explicitly stated in the Features list and verified in Section 7.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the datasheet, enabling direct connection to 5-V sensors or legacy peripherals without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the 26-Ω series resistance integrated into each output of the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4?
The 26-Ω series resistance integrated into each output of the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 reduces signal overshoot and undershoot by damping transmission-line reflections on PCB traces. As documented in the Features section and Detailed Description (Section 9.1), this eliminates the need for external series resistors in typical point-to-point or lightly loaded bus configurations, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 during power-down sequences?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 disables current paths between inputs and outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to ±10 μA maximum. As described in Section 9.3 and Application Information (Section 10.1), this prevents damaging back-drive current from live 5-V buses into a powered-down system, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation in modular industrial hardware.
What is the pin 1 marking and physical orientation for the SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 SSOP package?
The SN74LVC2244ADBRG4 uses an SSOP (DB) package with pin 1 located in Quadrant Q1 of the tape-and-reel carrier, identified by a small beveled corner or dot on the package top surface. The device has standard SSOP pin numbering: pin 1 is top-left, pin 10 is bottom-left (GND), pin 11 is bottom-middle (2A1), and pin 20 is top-right (VCC), matching the DB package drawing in TI's Mechanical Data (SLMA001).
