Product details
Overview
SN74LVT16244BDLR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode (3.3-V VCC / 5-V I/O) interfacing in high-speed digital systems. It features four independent 4-bit sections, active-low output-enable inputs (1OE–4OE), ±64 mA output drive at 3.3 V, and supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state logic. Used in bus interface, memory address/data buffering, and level translation between 3.3-V logic and legacy 5-V subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT16244BDLR datasheet, SN74LVT16244BDLR pinout, SN74LVT16244BDLR application, or SN74LVT16244BDLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, 3.3-V supply with 5-V tolerant inputs/outputs, symmetrical 3-state control per quadrant, low ground bounce (<0.8 V), and compatibility with hot-swap backplane architectures requiring Ioff protection.
Technical Context
The SN74LVT16244BDLR implements Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) to deliver TTL-compatible output levels while operating from a 3.3-V supply. Its architecture separates input and output stages to enable 5-V signal tolerance on both A (input) and Y (output) pins regardless of VCC level - critical for bridging voltage domains without external level shifters.
Each of the four 4-bit sections has dedicated active-low OE control (1OE–4OE), enabling independent gating of data flow. The device enters high-impedance state when VCC drops below 1.5 V or when OE is asserted; Ioff circuitry prevents reverse current during partial power-down, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports regulated and unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation. |
| IOL / IOH Drive | 64 mA sink / –32 mA source at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads directly. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5-V logic without clamping diodes or external resistors. |
| tPLH / tPHL Propagation | 2.3 ns / 2.0 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures sub-3 ns timing margins for 100+ MHz bus applications. |
| VOL / VOH Levels | 0.5 V max at IOL = 64 mA / 2.0 V min at IOH = –32 mA - meets LVTTL output voltage specifications for reliable interoperation. |
| Power-Up 3-State | Automatic high-Z activation during VCC ramp (0–1.5 V) - eliminates bus contention at power-on without external reset sequencing. |
| Ioff Current | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - blocks damaging backflow current when powered off in live backplanes or hot-swap slots. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT16244BDLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), DL suffix, with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.4 mm × 6.1 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner and located at top-left when viewed from top with marking side up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data Inputs (16 total) | True-level inputs accepting 0–5.5 V; no internal pullups/pulldowns - must be driven or tied to VCC/GND. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Buffered Outputs (16 total) | 3-state, noninverting outputs with ±64 mA drive; high-Z when corresponding OE is high. |
| 1OE–4OE | Active-Low Output Enables | Independent per-quadrant control; OE = low enables outputs, OE = high forces high-impedance state. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Supply Voltage | Single 3.3-V rail powers all logic and output stages; four distributed pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 43) | Ground Reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for switching currents and minimize ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode I/O tolerance | 5-V input/output compatibility with 3.3-V VCC eliminates need for discrete level translators in hybrid voltage systems. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent damage and bus conflicts during live card insertion into powered backplanes. |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures signal integrity in high-speed parallel buses with simultaneous switching outputs. |
| Quadrant-level 3-state control | Four independent OE inputs allow selective isolation of 4-bit segments - ideal for partitioned address/data buses or multi-drop configurations. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - guarantees robust operation in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH16244ADLR | Lower drive (±24 mA), LVTH family, 2.7–3.6 V only, no 5-V I/O tolerance | Suitable only for pure 3.3-V systems; cannot replace SN74LVT16244BDLR where 5-V interfacing is required | Select only if system operates exclusively at 3.3 V and lower power consumption is prioritized over drive strength. |
| 74ALVC16244PW,118 | NXP part; 1.65–3.6 V operation, ±24 mA drive, 5-V tolerant inputs only (not outputs) | Output voltage swing limited to VCC; requires external pullups for 5-V signaling on outputs | Acceptable for input-only 5-V interfacing but not for bidirectional 5-V bus driving - verify output load requirements before substitution. |
Compared with SN74LVTH16244ADLR and 74ALVC16244PW,118, the SN74LVT16244BDLR uniquely delivers full 5-V input/output tolerance with ±64 mA drive in a single 48-pin SSOP package - making it irreplaceable in mixed-voltage bus bridging where output-level translation is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74LVT16244BDLR?
The SN74LVT16244BDLR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, consistent with commercial-grade logic devices. This range is specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official TI datasheet SCBS716E, and applies to all DL-package variants including SN74LVT16244BDLR.
Does SN74LVT16244BDLR support true 5-V output signaling?
Yes, SN74LVT16244BDLR supports true 5-V output signaling: its outputs are 5-V tolerant and can drive to ≥2.0 V (VOH min) at –32 mA while powered from 3.3 V, meeting LVTTL high-level output specs compatible with 5-V TTL inputs. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOH test conditions.
Can SN74LVT16244BDLR be used without external pullup resistors on OE pins?
Yes - SN74LVT16244BDLR does not require external pullups on OE pins for basic operation. However, to guarantee high-impedance state when VCC rises above 1.5 V during power-up, TI recommends tying each OE to VCC via a pullup resistor; minimum value depends on driver sink capability, typically ≤10 kΩ.
Is SN74LVT16244BDLR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SN74LVT16244BDLR is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's Packaging Information Addendum, it carries "Yes" for RoHS and "Level-1-260C-UNLIM" MSL rating, confirming full compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and suitability for standard reflow processes.
How many independent 3-state control inputs does SN74LVT16244BDLR have?
SN74LVT16244BDLR has four independent active-low 3-state control inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE - one per 4-bit quadrant. This allows granular control over output enable/disable states, supporting flexible bus segmentation and power-aware data gating in complex digital systems.
