Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH162244DLR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode signal interfacing between 3.3-V logic and 5-V systems. It features four independent 4-bit channels, bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, integrated 22-Ω output series resistors, and supports hot insertion via Ioff and power-up 3-state. It is used in backplane interface, memory address/data buffering, and industrial control bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH162244DLR datasheet, SN74LVTH162244DLR pinout, SN74LVTH162244DLR application, or SN74LVTH162244DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V VCC operation with 5-V tolerant inputs, 12-mA drive strength per output, 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, bus-hold functionality eliminating external resistors, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7 V supply.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH162244DLR implements a flow-through pin architecture across four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with symmetrical active-low output-enable (OE) controls (1OE–4OE). Its ABT (Advanced BiCMOS Technology) core delivers TTL-compatible output levels while operating from a 3.3-V supply, enabling seamless interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without level shifters.
Each output includes an integrated 22-Ω series resistor to suppress overshoot/undershoot, and all data inputs feature bus-hold circuitry that maintains valid logic states without external pullups. The device enters high-impedance during power-up/down when VCC is below 1.5 V, and supports hot insertion via Ioff protection and power-up 3-state behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables stable operation under unregulated battery or noisy rail conditions |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V CMOS/TTL outputs without external level translation |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA - sufficient to drive standard 50-pF loads at ≤4.8 ns propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V) |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA minimum - actively holds unused inputs at last-valid logic state, removing need for external biasing |
| Output Series Resistance | 22 Ω (integrated) - reduces EMI and signal integrity issues without requiring discrete termination resistors |
| Power-Up 3-State | Active below 1.5 V VCC - prevents bus contention during power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Ioff Protection | ±100 µA max at VCC = 0 - blocks damaging current backflow when powered down in live backplane environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH162244DLR is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), DL variant, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; leads are gull-wing, NIPDAU-finished, RoHS-compliant, and rated MSL Level-1.

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 | Lower drive (±24 mA), no integrated 22-Ω resistors, no bus-hold, 3.3-V only (no 5-V tolerant inputs) | Suitable for pure 3.3-V systems where external termination and pullups are acceptable | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and board space constraints |
| SN74ALVCH162244DGGR | Higher speed (tPD ≈ 3.2 ns), same 5-V tolerant inputs and bus-hold, but requires 2.3–3.6 V VCC (not 2.7–3.6 V) | Better for high-frequency memory interfaces where sub-4-ns timing is critical | Select when operating above 100 MHz and supply regulation permits tighter VCC range |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and SN74ALVCH162244DGGR, the SN74LVTH162244DLR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated 22-Ω termination, bus-hold, and 2.7-V minimum operation-making it optimal for ruggedized, mixed-voltage industrial backplanes where reliability and design simplicity are prioritized over peak speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVTH162244DLR can tolerate?
The SN74LVTH162244DLR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V TTL or CMOS outputs without external level-shifting circuitry. This 5-V tolerance is specified across the full operating temperature range and is enabled by its ABT process technology. Exceeding 5.5 V may risk damage, as absolute maximum input rating is 7 V only under clamp-current-limited conditions.
Does the SN74LVTH162244DLR require external pullup resistors on its inputs?
No, the SN74LVTH162244DLR does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its data inputs because it integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 16 A-inputs. This circuitry maintains the last-valid logic state with ±75 µA holding current, eliminating floating-input uncertainty. TI explicitly advises against adding external resistors when bus-hold is enabled, as they may interfere with proper hold function and increase power consumption.
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND pins on the SN74LVTH162244DLR?
The SN74LVTH162244DLR uses distributed VCC (pins 7, 21, 34, 48) and GND (pins 4, 10, 15, 27, 32, 43) connections to minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve power supply rejection. This layout reduces ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V at 3.3 V) and stabilizes VCC during high-speed toggling of multiple outputs, directly supporting clean signal integrity in dense, high-pin-count PCB layouts typical of backplane and memory interface designs.
Can the SN74LVTH162244DLR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVTH162244DLR is explicitly designed for hot-insertion applications. It incorporates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0, and power-up 3-state logic that forces outputs into high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These features prevent bus conflicts and protect upstream drivers during live card insertion into powered backplanes, meeting requirements for industrial and telecom hot-swap systems.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVTH162244DLR use?
The SN74LVTH162244DLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), designated DL, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and maximum height of 1.2 mm. It is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1 rating, and supplied in 1000-unit reels. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled corner or dot, and the package conforms to JEDEC MO-153 standards.
