Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH162244AVR 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, bus-hold circuitry, and integrated 26-Ω series output resistors-enabling direct interface between 3.3-V logic and 5-V systems in server memory address buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH162244AVR datasheet, SN74LVCH162244AVR pinout, SN74LVCH162244AVR application, or SN74LVCH162244AVR equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, ±12 mA output drive at 3.3 V, 4.4 ns max propagation delay, 3-state output isolation timing, and TVSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements true (noninverting) buffering across 16 channels, partitioned into four independent 4-bit groups (1Y–4Y), each controlled by its own active-low OE input (1OE–4OE). Each channel accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), enabling mixed-voltage translation without external level shifters.
It integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A-inputs to maintain valid logic states on undriven lines, eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors. The Ioff feature disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, supporting partial-power-down and hot-plug operation in modular systems.
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 direct connection to 5-V legacy peripherals or microcontrollers without external voltage translation. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing-critical data path integrity in high-speed address/data buffering applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads (e.g., 30 pF) while maintaining signal integrity. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or power sequencing in modular backplanes. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA at VCC = 3 V - actively maintains stable logic levels on floating inputs, removing need for external biasing components. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114 and JESD22-C101 requirements for robust handling in manufacturing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCH162244AVR is packaged in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) with nominal body size 9.70 mm × 4.40 mm, optimized for space-constrained industrial and telecom PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low output enable | Individually disables corresponding 4-bit Y-output group; tied to VCC via pullup for power-up high-impedance safety. |
| 1A1–4A4 | Buffer input | 16 total CMOS inputs with 5.5-V tolerance and integrated bus-hold; no external bias required. |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-state noninverting output | 16 true outputs with built-in 26-Ω series resistance - eliminates need for external termination resistors. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve noise immunity across wide bus operation. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for minimizing ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V @ 3.3 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range | Operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V - compatible with battery-powered, low-power, and mixed-supply embedded systems. |
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5.5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC - enables seamless interfacing between legacy 5-V peripherals and modern 3.3-V controllers. |
| Integrated output series resistance | 26-Ω on-chip termination - suppresses signal reflections and reduces EMI without requiring discrete resistors on PCB. |
| Live-insertion support | Ioff functionality - blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe board replacement in powered-backplane systems. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Self-biasing on all A-inputs - prevents floating nodes and undefined logic states in unterminated or sparsely loaded buses. |
Applications
| Server Memory Address Buffering | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving parallel address lines from a 3.3-V CPU to multiple DDR SDRAM modules operating at 2.5-V or 1.8-V VDDQ, where signal integrity and voltage translation are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 16-bit buffer with per-group OE control isolates memory banks during refresh cycles and translates CPU address signals to memory controller inputs. Use Value: Eliminates external level shifters and termination resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area while meeting tPD ≤ 5 ns timing budgets. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3-V FPGA-based main controller to legacy 5-V discrete I/O modules (relays, sensors, indicators) in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage translator and bus driver that conditions FPGA outputs for 5-V TTL-compatible inputs while accepting feedback signals up to 5.5 V. Use Value: Enables direct connection without external translators; Ioff protects FPGA I/O during module hot-swap maintenance events. |
| Network Switch Backplane Interface | Automotive Infotainment Display Bridge |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving control/address signals between a 3.3-V switch ASIC and multiple line-card controllers in a modular chassis system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state buffer with independent OE per 4-bit group allows dynamic routing of configuration commands to specific line cards without bus contention. Use Value: Four OE pins enable selective activation, reducing simultaneous switching noise (SSN); bus-hold prevents glitches during card insertion/removal. |
Use Scenario: Buffering video timing and control signals (HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, clock enable) from a 3.3-V SoC to a 5-V display timing controller in automotive head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, noninverting repeater ensuring setup/hold margins are met across temperature (–40°C to 125°C) with minimal added jitter. Use Value: 4.4 ns max tPD at 3.3 V guarantees sub-cycle timing margin; 125°C rated operation meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 thermal requirements. |
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; 5-V tolerant inputs only up to VCC + 0.5 V (not 5.5 V absolute). | Suitable for fixed 3.3-V-only systems without hot-swap or floating-input concerns. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and robustness requirements. |
| 74ALVC162244PW | Higher ICC (20 μA typical vs. 10 μA), no bus-hold, and narrower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V same, but less noise margin). | Used in legacy industrial designs where ALVC speed-grade compatibility is mandated. | Select only if backward compatibility with existing ALVC-based schematics is required. |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and 74ALVC162244PW, SN74LVCH162244AVR uniquely combines 5.5-V input tolerance, Ioff, bus-hold, and 26-Ω output termination in a single 48-pin TVSOP package-making it optimal for next-generation mixed-voltage, hot-pluggable, and high-reliability embedded systems.
