Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH162244ADL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. It features four independent 4-bit sections, each with active-low output-enable (OE) control, 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, and integrated bus-hold circuitry-enabling reliable signal buffering in mixed-voltage server backplanes and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH162244ADL datasheet, SN74LVCH162244ADL pinout, SN74LVCH162244ADL application, or SN74LVCH162244ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.4 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, Ioff support for live insertion, 26-Ω on-chip series output termination, and compatibility with 3.3-V/5-V bidirectional voltage translation in memory address and clock distribution paths.
Technical Context
This device implements true (noninverting) logic buffering across 16 channels, partitioned into four isolated 4-bit groups, each controlled by a dedicated active-low OE input. Its CMOS design supports partial-power-down via Ioff, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V.
The SN74LVCH162244ADL integrates bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs-eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors-and features 26-Ω series output impedance, enabling clean signal integrity without external termination. Input tolerance up to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with 5-V logic while operating from a 3.3-V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables use in low-voltage embedded systems and mixed-supply domains. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data routing in memory and peripheral buses. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level-shifting components. |
| Output Termination | 26-Ω series resistance - Reduces signal reflections and eliminates need for external series resistors. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-drive current during hot-plug or partial power-down. |
| Bus-Hold Circuitry | On all A-inputs - Maintains valid logic state on floating or undriven inputs, removing external biasing. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements per JESD22. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCH162244ADL uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with nominal body size 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm. The package includes 10 ground pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45, and two additional GNDs), 4 VCC pins (pins 7, 18, 31, 42), and symmetrically arranged input/output groups per section.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Individually controls 4-bit output group; asserted low enables Y outputs, high places them in high-Z. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | Noninverting inputs for respective 4-bit sections; feature bus-hold and 5.5-V tolerance. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Buffered outputs | True outputs with 26-Ω series impedance; drive loads directly without external termination. |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC connections reduce supply noise and improve decoupling effectiveness. |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce (VOLP & VOHV). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC enable seamless 3.3-V/5-V system interfacing without translators. |
| Integrated 26-Ω output series resistance | Eliminates need for discrete series termination resistors, saving PCB area and BOM cost. |
| Bus-hold on all inputs | Prevents floating inputs from drifting to indeterminate states-no external pullup/pulldown required. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections during hot-swap or power sequencing. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP & VOHV) | Typical VOLP <0.8 V and VOHV >2 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures stable logic thresholds under switching load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADL | Lacks bus-hold and Ioff; 3.6-V max VCC only; no 5.5-V input tolerance. | Suitable only in fully 3.3-V systems with externally biased inputs and controlled power sequencing. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs robustness requirements and mixed-voltage operation is unnecessary. |
| SN74AVC162244DGGR | Supports 1.2-V to 3.6-V operation; higher speed (2.4 ns tpd); no bus-hold; different pinout. | Better for ultra-low-voltage SoC interconnects but requires external biasing and layout redesign. | Select only if migrating to sub-1.8-V domains and redesigning PCB layout for TSSOP-48 pin compatibility. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADL and SN74AVC162244DGGR, the SN74LVCH162244ADL uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, bus-hold, Ioff, and 26-Ω output termination in a single SSOP-48 package-making it the only drop-in solution for legacy 5-V/3.3-V mixed-signal backplane buffering without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74LVCH162244ADL?
The SN74LVCH162244ADL is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting extended industrial and networking equipment requirements. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official datasheet SCAS545L.
Does the SN74LVCH162244ADL require external pullup resistors on its inputs?
No, the SN74LVCH162244ADL includes active bus-hold circuitry on all A-inputs, which maintains a valid logic state on unused or undriven inputs-eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors. Using external resistors with bus-hold enabled is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet.
Can the SN74LVCH162244ADL be used in a 5-V system with a 3.3-V supply?
Yes, the SN74LVCH162244ADL supports mixed-mode operation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing direct connection to 5-V logic while powered from 3.3 V. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC), so they remain compatible with 3.3-V receivers.
What is the purpose of the four separate OE pins on the SN74LVCH162244ADL?
The four active-low OE pins (1OE–4OE) independently control the 3-state output drivers for each 4-bit section. This enables selective isolation of bus segments-such as disabling one memory bank while accessing another-reducing contention and simplifying timing-critical control plane signaling in multi-module systems.
Is the SN74LVCH162244ADL pin-compatible with other 48-pin Widebus™ buffers?
No-while functionally similar to SN74LVC16244ADL and SN74AVC162244DGGR, the SN74LVCH162244ADL has a unique pinout optimized for SSOP-48 layout, including distributed VCC/GND placement and grouped A/Y/OE assignments. Direct replacement requires verification against the DL-package pin diagram in SCAS545L.
