Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH162241DL from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode TTL/3.3-V system interfacing. It features four independent 4-bit sections, bus-hold on all data inputs, and integrated 22-Ω output series resistors to suppress overshoot/undershoot - used in backplane and motherboard I/O expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH162241DL datasheet, SN74LVTH162241DL pinout, SN74LVTH162241DL application, or SN74LVTH162241DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V VCC operation with 5-V tolerant inputs, hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and guaranteed performance from –40°C to 85°C in DL-package SSOP-48.
Technical Context
This device implements an Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) architecture optimized for low static power at 3.3 V while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds and drive strength. Each of its four 4-bit sections has complementary OE/!OE controls and noninverting logic paths, enabling flexible bus segmentation.
It supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V, includes distributed VCC/GND pins to minimize switching noise, and uses flow-through pinout to simplify PCB routing. Bus-hold circuitry eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on floating inputs, and output ground bounce (VOLP) is specified at <0.8 V under typical conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports battery-backed and margin-tolerant 3.3-V systems |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5-V logic without level shifters |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and stubs on backplanes |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 1.3 ns (min) to 4.9 ns (max) at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing compliance in high-speed control buses |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±750 µA max - actively maintains valid logic state on unused inputs |
| Ioff Leakage | ±100 µA max at VCC = 0 - prevents backflow during hot insertion or partial power-down |
| Output Series Resistance | 22 Ω (integrated) - reduces EMI and eliminates need for external termination resistors |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH162241DL is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.95 mm body, with 0.5-mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner and located in Quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable (per 4-bit section) | Controls 3-state output of corresponding Y-group; low = enabled, high = high-Z |

| VCC (Pins 7, 20, 31, 42) | Power supply | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve decoupling |
| GND (Pins 4, 15, 27, 39) | Ground reference | Distributed GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for each functional quadrant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | LVC family; 3.3-V only (no 5-V input tolerance); lower drive (±24 mA); no integrated series resistors | Suitable for pure 3.3-V systems where external termination is acceptable and higher drive is needed | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage interface needs and layout space allows external resistors |
| SN74ALVCH162244DLR | ALVCH family; supports 1.65–3.6 V VCC; no bus-hold; no integrated 22-Ω resistors; different pinout | Better for ultra-low-voltage operation but requires external biasing and termination | Select only if system operates below 2.7 V or demands wider VCC range; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and feature differences |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and SN74ALVCH162244DLR, the SN74LVTH162241DL uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated 22-Ω termination, bus-hold, and hot-insertion support in a single 48-pin SSOP package - making it optimal for robust, mixed-voltage industrial backplane designs where reliability and BOM simplification are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SN74LVTH162241DL?
The SN74LVTH162241DL is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is explicitly confirmed in the TI datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table and applies specifically to the DL-package variant. The device maintains full electrical specifications-including propagation delay, drive strength, and bus-hold functionality-across this entire range.
Does the SN74LVTH162241DL support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVTH162241DL supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent damaging current backflow, and power-up 3-state forces outputs into high-impedance during VCC ramp (0–1.5 V). These functions are inherent to the ABT process and verified in the datasheet's "Hot-Insertion Applications" section - no external circuitry is required to achieve compliant hot-swap behavior.
What does "bus-hold" mean for the SN74LVTH162241DL, and how strong is it?
Bus-hold on the SN74LVTH162241DL is an internal weak-latch circuit that maintains a valid logic state (high or low) on any unused or floating data input. Per the Electrical Characteristics table, it provides ±750 µA dynamic overdrive current - sufficient to override typical noise coupling but low enough to be overridden cleanly by a driven signal. This eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors without compromising noise immunity.
Can the SN74LVTH162241DL be used with a 2.5-V supply?
No - the SN74LVTH162241DL is not specified for 2.5-V operation. Its recommended VCC range is strictly 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with absolute maximum ratings extending only to 4.6 V. Operation below 2.7 V risks failure to meet timing (e.g., tPLH/tPHL), drive strength (IOL/IOH), and bus-hold functionality. For 2.5-V systems, consider TI's ALVC or AUC families instead.
How many independent 3-state control groups does the SN74LVTH162241DL provide?
The SN74LVTH162241DL provides four independent 3-state control groups: one per 4-bit section (1OE/1Y, 2OE/2Y, 3OE/3Y, 4OE/4Y). Each group has dedicated active-low OE inputs and complementary OE bar inputs (not shown in pin table but documented in Function Tables), allowing granular bus partitioning - e.g., enabling only two 4-bit lanes while holding others in high-Z.
