Product details
Overview
SN74LVC244ADGVR from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/driver IC designed for asynchronous bus interfacing in 1.65V–3.6V systems. It features dual 4-bit banks, 5.9ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, 5.5V-tolerant inputs, and Ioff support for live insertion-enabling use in server backplanes and LED display column drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC244ADGVR datasheet, SN74LVC244ADGVR pinout, SN74LVC244ADGVR application, or SN74LVC244ADGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC operating range (1.65–3.6V), 3-state output enable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 9.4ns), mixed-mode voltage translation capability, and thermal performance in the 5.00mm × 6.4mm TVSOP-20 package.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC244ADGVR implements two independent 4-bit buffer banks, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable (1OE/2OE). Each bank performs xYn = xAn, with balanced CMOS 3-state outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±24mA at 3.0V VCC. Its Ioff circuitry ensures <±10µA leakage when VCC = 0V, enabling partial power-down operation.
It supports mixed-mode signal operation: 5.5V-tolerant inputs allow interfacing with legacy 5V logic while operating from 3.3V or lower supplies, and its output VOH/VOL specifications are guaranteed across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature for industrial-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - Enables direct integration into modern low-voltage digital systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - Allows safe connection to 5V buses without external clamping or translators. |
| tpd (max) | 5.9ns at 3.3V - Supports high-speed data transfer on PCB traces up to ~12cm before requiring impedance control. |
| Ioff Leakage | <±10µA at VCC = 0V - Permits hot-plug operation and prevents back-drive damage during partial power-down. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at VCC = 3.0V - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or moderate-capacitance traces directly. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and telecom infrastructure. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - Meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC244ADGVR is packaged in a 20-pin TVSOP (DGV) with 0.65mm pitch, body size 5.00mm × 4.40mm, and maximum height 1.2mm. The package includes exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in high-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Input (8 total) | Noninverting data inputs for two independent 4-bit banks; 5.5V tolerant regardless of VCC. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Output (8 total) | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-Low Enable (2) | Independent control per bank; enables/disables all four outputs in that bank simultaneously. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–3.6V supply; bypass capacitor required at pin for noise suppression. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all signals and power; must be low-impedance and adjacent to VCC bypass cap. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Accepts 5.5V inputs while powered from 1.65–3.6V - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in mixed-supply systems. |
| Live-insertion support | Ioff limits current to <±10µA when VCC = 0V - enables safe hot-swap in modular backplane and I/O expander applications. |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOLP < 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V - reduces noise coupling into shared ground planes during simultaneous switching. |
| Ultra-fast enable/disable | ten/tdis ≤ 9.4ns at 3.3V - allows precise timing control for burst-mode data transfers and dynamic bus arbitration. |
| High-impedance state stability | IOZ leakage <±20µA - ensures predictable bus behavior when outputs are disabled, critical for multi-driver contention management. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVCH244A | Includes bus-hold circuitry on all inputs; same VCC range and pinout. | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on unused or floating inputs. | Preferred where input signal integrity is compromised by long traces or intermittent connections. |
| 74LVC244APW | TSSOP-20 package (6.5mm × 4.4mm); identical electrical specs but larger footprint and higher RθJA (120.3°C/W). | Suitable for prototyping or lower-density boards where thermal headroom exceeds 500mW. | Select when board layout constraints favor TSSOP over TVSOP or when reflow compatibility with legacy processes is required. |
Compared with SN74LVC244ADGVR, SN74LVCH244A adds bus-hold functionality at no speed penalty, while 74LVC244APW trades compactness and thermal efficiency for broader soldering process tolerance-making SN74LVC244ADGVR optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial designs.

The SN74LVC244ADGVR belongs to TI's LVC (Low-Voltage CMOS) logic family, engineered for robust 1.65–3.6V operation with 5V-tolerant inputs-targeting industrial, computing, and communications systems needing low-power, high-speed bus buffering.
FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVC244ADGVR can tolerate?
The SN74LVC244ADGVR accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5V logic families while operating from 1.65V–3.6V supplies. This overvoltage tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and does not require external clamping diodes. The SN74LVC244ADGVR maintains this specification even during power-up/power-down transitions due to its internal clamp diode structure.
Does the SN74LVC244ADGVR support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes, the SN74LVC244ADGVR supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which limits input/output leakage to <±10µA when VCC = 0V. This prevents back-drive current from downstream circuits into the unpowered device, protecting both the SN74LVC244ADGVR and connected components during hot-plug events in modular backplanes or I/O expanders.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the SN74LVC244ADGVR?
A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing VCC on the SN74LVC244ADGVR, placed as close as possible to the VCC pin with a short, low-inductance ground return path. For improved high-frequency noise rejection, TI recommends paralleling with a 1µF capacitor. The SN74LVC244ADGVR's fast edge rates make proper decoupling essential to prevent ground bounce and ensure stable 3-state transitions.
Can the SN74LVC244ADGVR be used for level translation between 5V and 3.3V systems?
Yes, the SN74LVC244ADGVR functions as a down-translator: its 5.5V-tolerant inputs accept 5V signals while operating from a 3.3V (or lower) VCC, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the VCC range. This allows it to translate 5V control signals to 3.3V logic levels without external components-verified in TI's application notes for mixed-mode bus interfacing.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74LVC244ADGVR in its DGV package?
The SN74LVC244ADGVR in the TVSOP-20 (DGV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 128.7°C/W, as specified in TI's official thermal metrics table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual performance improves with PCB copper area, thermal vias, and proximity to other heat-dissipating components. The SN74LVC244ADGVR's 500mW maximum power dissipation requires careful thermal design above 60°C ambient.
