Product details
Overview
SN74LVC2244ADW from Texas Instruments is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation. It features two independent 4-bit channels (1A–1Y and 2A–2Y), dual output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE), 5.5 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, and 26-Ω integrated output series resistors-enabling direct interface with high-speed digital logic in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC2244ADW datasheet, SN74LVC2244ADW pinout, SN74LVC2244ADW application, or SN74LVC2244ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.6 V max VCC rating, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, Ioff support for live insertion, ±12 mA output drive per channel, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC2244ADW implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state control: each OE input enables/disables its associated four Y outputs while preserving input integrity. Its CMOS design supports mixed-voltage signaling-inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling level translation between 3.3-V system logic and 5-V peripherals.
Output drivers integrate 26-Ω on-die series termination to suppress overshoot/undershoot without external components; Ioff circuitry ensures high-impedance isolation when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during partial power-down sequences in hot-swap systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-power IoT nodes and standard 3.3-V industrial controllers. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5-V microcontrollers or sensors without external level shifters. |
| tpd (Max) | 5.5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >100 MHz data rates in address/data bus buffering applications. |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA per Y output - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs with margin. |
| Ioff Current | ±10 μA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - Ensures safe live insertion and prevents damage during board hot-plug events. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial equipment robustness requirements per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3. |
Pinout & Package

| 2,4,6,8,11,13,15,17 | 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Eight buffered input terminals-accept 5.5 V logic regardless of VCC; no clamping diodes required. |
| 3,5,7,9,12,14,16,18 | 2Y4–2Y1, 1Y4–1Y1 | Eight 3-state outputs with integrated 26-Ω series resistance-eliminates need for external termination resistors. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection for signal integrity. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary power supply (1.65–3.6 V); requires local 0.1 μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244ADW | Same pinout and electrical specs, but lacks Ioff feature and 5.5-V input tolerance-max VI = VCC + 0.3 V. | Not suitable for hot-swap or mixed-voltage systems requiring back-drive protection. | Select SN74LVC2244ADW where live insertion or 5-V interfacing is required. |
| 74LVC2244PW | TSSOP-20 package (6.5 mm × 4.4 mm); identical logic and timing, but smaller footprint and higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 102.5°C/W). | Better suited for space-constrained portable designs; requires tighter layout control for thermal management. | Choose SN74LVC2244ADW for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOIC-compatible assemblies. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVC2244ADW?
The SN74LVC2244ADW is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as confirmed in TI's official packaging and orderable information. This range applies to all SOIC-20 variants including SN74LVC2244ADW and its tape-and-reel counterpart SN74LVC2244ADWR. Thermal derating is not required within this envelope when mounted per JEDEC standards.
Does the SN74LVC2244ADW support 5-V input signals when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74LVC2244ADW supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65 V to 3.6 V), as explicitly stated in the "Features" and "Recommended Operating Conditions" sections of the SCAS572L datasheet. This allows direct interfacing with 5-V microcontrollers or sensors without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the 26-Ω series resistance in the SN74LVC2244ADW outputs?
The SN74LVC2244ADW integrates 26-Ω series resistors on all eight Y outputs to dampen signal reflections and reduce overshoot/undershoot in high-speed digital traces. This eliminates the need for discrete termination resistors on PCBs, simplifying layout and improving signal integrity-especially in point-to-point connections with 50-Ω characteristic impedance.
Can the SN74LVC2244ADW be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVC2244ADW supports hot-swap operation via its Ioff feature, which disables output leakage paths when VCC = 0 V. As documented in the "Features" and "Detailed Description" sections, this prevents damaging back-current flow during live insertion or partial power-down-making it suitable for modular industrial and telecom systems.
What is the pin 1 marking convention for the SN74LVC2244ADW SOIC package?
The SN74LVC2244ADW SOIC (DW) package uses standard JEDEC pin 1 identification: a beveled corner or notch on the top surface of the package aligns with pin 1 (1OE), located at the top-left when viewing the device with markings upright and leads pointing downward. This matches TI's mechanical drawings and tape-and-reel quadrant assignments (Q1 orientation).
