Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16244ADL 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 functions as four independent 4-bit buffers (each with dedicated active-low OE), supports 5.5-V-tolerant inputs, delivers ≤4.1 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and enables bus isolation in memory address, clock, and data bus applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16244ADL datasheet, SN74LVCH16244ADL pinout, SN74LVCH16244ADL application, or SN74LVCH16244ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled live insertion support, bus-hold on all inputs eliminating external resistors, mixed-mode 3.3-V/5-V signal translation capability, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16244ADL implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Its Ioff circuitry disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe partial-power-down operation.
Inputs feature bus-hold circuitry that maintains valid logic states without external pullup/pulldown resistors, and tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6 V), allowing direct interfacing between 5-V legacy logic and 3.3-V system domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-voltage embedded rails including 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V systems. |
| Max tpd | 4.1 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data transmission in memory address and clock distribution paths. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to 5-V CMOS/TTL sources without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-plug or power sequencing events. |
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Integrated on all A-inputs - Eliminates need for external biasing resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or moderate capacitive buses. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements per JESD22-A114. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVCH16244ADL is packaged in a 48-pin SSOP (DL) with 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm body size, optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Individually controls 4-bit output groups; tied high via pullup for power-up high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Buffer input | 16 total inputs with bus-hold; accept 0–5.5 V signals regardless of VCC level. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Noninverting 3-state output | True outputs with symmetrical drive; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce switching noise and improve power integrity across wide bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for all 16 drivers and minimize ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs on 3.3-V VCC enable seamless interface between legacy 5-V peripherals and modern low-voltage controllers. |

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 Ioff and bus-hold features; 5-V input tolerance limited to VCC + 0.5 V. | Not suitable for live insertion or unpowered bus isolation; requires external pullups on unused inputs. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements in static systems. |
| 74ALVCH16244DL | Higher speed (tpd ≤ 3.2 ns at 3.3 V) but narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); no 5-V input tolerance. | Cannot interface with 5-V logic; unsuitable for mixed-voltage designs or legacy peripheral integration. | Choose only for pure 3.3-V high-speed applications where voltage margin is guaranteed. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SN74LVCH16244ADL?
The SN74LVCH16244ADL supports input voltages up to 5.5 V across its entire operating VCC range (1.65–3.6 V). This overvoltage tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5-V logic families without external level-shifting circuitry, making SN74LVCH16244ADL ideal for mixed-voltage system integration where legacy peripherals connect to modern low-voltage controllers.
Does SN74LVCH16244ADL support live insertion or hot-swap applications?
Yes, SN74LVCH16244ADL supports live insertion via its Ioff feature, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V. This prevents damage during hot-plug events in modular systems such as PCIe cards or field-replaceable I/O modules. The SN74LVCH16244ADL datasheet confirms Ioff compliance per JESD78, ensuring safe operation during partial-power-down sequences.
How does the bus-hold feature on SN74LVCH16244ADL eliminate external resistors?
SN74LVCH16244ADL integrates bus-hold circuitry on all 16 input pins (1A1–4A4), actively maintaining the last-valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external 10-kΩ pullup or pulldown resistors, reducing BOM count, PCB area, and potential noise coupling. The SN74LVCH16244ADL specification defines bus-hold current as ±45 µA at 3 V, sufficient to override typical leakage currents in industrial environments.
What is the propagation delay of SN74LVCH16244ADL at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C, SN74LVCH16244ADL achieves a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 4.1 ns, measured from input to output under loaded conditions (CL = 50 pF). This value is specified in the Switching Characteristics table of the SN74LVCH16244ADL datasheet (SCES494B) and enables reliable operation in 50-MHz address/data buses with adequate timing margins.
Which package type is used for SN74LVCH16244ADL?
SN74LVCH16244ADL uses the SSOP-48 (DL) package with dimensions 15.88 mm × 7.49 mm. This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu plating, and a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), making it suitable for standard reflow assembly processes without baking requirements.
