Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH162244AGR 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, integrated bus-hold circuitry, and 26-Ω series output resistors-enabling direct interface between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V systems in server memory address buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH162244AGR datasheet, SN74LVCH162244AGR pinout, SN74LVCH162244AGR application, or SN74LVCH162244AGR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, mixed-mode signal compatibility (5-V input / 3.3-V VCC), tpd ≤ 4.4 ns at 3.3 V, and guaranteed 125°C operation with 26-Ω on-die termination eliminating external resistors.
Technical Context
This device implements true-output, noninverting buffering with symmetrical active-low OE per 4-bit group. Each section operates independently, supporting flexible partitioning as four 4-bit, two 8-bit, or one 16-bit buffer. The Ioff circuitry ensures back-drive protection during partial power-down by disabling outputs when VCC = 0 V.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on undriven or floating inputs without external pullup/pulldown resistors. Inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (1.65–3.6 V), enabling reliable down-translation in mixed-voltage systems such as PC motherboard I/O expansion buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across low-voltage logic families including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables safe interfacing with 5-V peripherals without level shifters in mixed-voltage designs |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing-critical performance in high-speed address/data buffering applications |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and light stubs without external termination |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA at VCC = 3.0 V - actively holds unconnected inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating need for external biasing |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10 μA at VI/VO = 5.5 V - prevents damaging current flow during hot-insertion or partial power-down sequences |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded computing environments |

| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve PSRR; require local 0.01–0.1-μF bypass per pin |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all 16 outputs and internal logic |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lacks bus-hold and Ioff; 3.6-V max VCC only; no 5.5-V input tolerance | Suitable only for pure 3.3-V systems with externally biased inputs and controlled power sequencing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage and hot-swap requirements |
| 74ALVCH162244TTR | Higher drive (±24 mA); 2.5-V to 3.6-V VCC only; no 5.5-V input tolerance | Targeted at high-speed 3.3-V-only applications where lower propagation delay (<3.5 ns) is critical | Select when driving heavy capacitive loads or ultra-low-latency timing is required |
Compared with SN74LVCH162244AGR, SN74LVC16244ADGGR omits bus-hold and Ioff-requiring external biasing and careful power sequencing-while 74ALVCH162244TTR trades mixed-voltage flexibility for higher speed and drive strength in 3.3-V-only designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVCH162244AGR can safely accept?
The SN74LVCH162244AGR accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V across its entire VCC operating range (1.65 V to 3.6 V). This overvoltage tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5-V logic without external level shifters, making it ideal for mixed-voltage system integration where the SN74LVCH162244AGR serves as a robust translation buffer.
Does the SN74LVCH162244AGR require external pullup resistors on its output-enable pins?
Yes - to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, each OE pin (1OE–4OE) should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This requirement is explicitly documented in the SN74LVCH162244AGR functional description for safe system initialization.
How does the bus-hold feature of the SN74LVCH162244AGR eliminate external resistors?
The SN74LVCH162244AGR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 16 input pins, providing ±75 μA holding current at VCC = 3.0 V to maintain valid logic states on undriven or floating inputs. Because this function is built-in, designers avoid adding external pullup or pulldown resistors - reducing BOM cost, PCB space, and potential signal integrity issues associated with discrete biasing networks in the SN74LVCH162244AGR implementation.
What thermal metrics apply to the SN74LVCH162244AGR in TSSOP-48 (DGG) package?
The SN74LVCH162244AGR in TSSOP-48 (DGG) package has RθJA = 64.3°C/W, RθJC(top) = 17.6°C/W, and RθJB = 31.5°C/W. These values reflect its thermal performance under JEDEC-standard board-mount conditions and are critical for calculating junction temperature rise in high-density layouts where multiple SN74LVCH162244AGR devices operate simultaneously near thermal limits.
Can the SN74LVCH162244AGR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - the SN74LVCH162244AGR includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10 μA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current flow during live insertion into powered backplanes. This feature, combined with 2000-V HBM ESD rating, makes the SN74LVCH162244AGR suitable for modular telecom and server systems requiring field-replaceable components.
