Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16244ADGVR 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 interfacing in bus-hold applications. It features true outputs, active-low OE inputs, bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pull resistors, Ioff support for hot insertion, and operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It is used in industrial backplane interfaces requiring level translation between 5-V logic and 3.3-V systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16244ADGVR datasheet, SN74LVTH16244ADGVR pinout, SN74LVTH16244ADGVR application, or SN74LVTH16244ADGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package, 32-mA low-level output drive at 3.3 V, bus-hold input retention, Ioff-enabled hot-swap capability, and compatibility with 5-V-tolerant inputs while powered from 3.3-V rails.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with symmetrical active-low output-enable control and true (noninverting) logic. Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) architecture delivers low static power dissipation (<0.19 mA ICC in disabled state) and high-speed switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF).
The integrated bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on unused inputs without external components, and Ioff protection limits current flow during power-down. Power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance during supply ramping, preventing bus contention in hot-plug environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V with full functionality. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to 5-V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±750 μA max - actively retains input state without external pull resistors, reducing BOM count. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤ 4.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - meets timing requirements for high-speed data buses up to ~200 MHz. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow currents during hot insertion or partial power-down. |
| VOL / VOH | 0.55 V / 2.0 V at IOL = 64 mA / IOH = –32 mA - ensures robust noise margins in noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16244ADGVR uses a 48-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), designated DGV, with 0.4 mm lead pitch, 3.6 mm body width, and 1.2 mm maximum height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with a beveled edge indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control per 4-bit section | Independent gating of four buffer groups; asserted low enables corresponding Y outputs. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs (16 total) | Accept 5-V-tolerant signals; bus-hold circuitry retains last valid state when floating. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True (noninverting) buffered outputs (16 total) | Drive 3.3-V loads with 32-mA sink/source capability; 3-state when OE is high. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 43) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V input tolerance with 3.3-V VCC enables seamless interface between legacy 5-V logic and modern low-voltage systems. |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 inputs, reducing PCB area and component count. |
| Ioff and power-up 3-state | Prevents current backflow during hot insertion and forces outputs into high-Z during power ramp, avoiding bus conflicts. |
| Low output ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures stable logic thresholds under fast switching conditions. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - suitable for harsh industrial environments with transient coupling risks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74LVTH16244ADGVR?
The SN74LVTH16244ADGVR operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V on VCC. Its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V logic while powered from a 3.3-V rail. This range supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V without functional degradation, as verified in TI's recommended operating conditions table.
Does SN74LVTH16244ADGVR support hot insertion?
Yes, SN74LVTH16244ADGVR supports hot insertion via two complementary features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent backflow current, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance during supply ramping. These are explicitly documented in the Features and Electrical Characteristics sections of the TI datasheet SCBS142U.
How does the bus-hold feature work on SN74LVTH16244ADGVR?
The bus-hold circuitry on SN74LVTH16244ADGVR actively maintains the last valid logic state on each of the 16 inputs when left floating, eliminating the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors. It provides ±750 μA dynamic hold current (per TI datasheet Section 6), ensuring stable operation in systems with intermittent or undriven signal lines.
What package type is SN74LVTH16244ADGVR supplied in?
SN74LVTH16244ADGVR is supplied in a 48-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP), TI package code DGV. It measures 3.6 mm × 9.7 mm with 0.4 mm lead pitch and 1.2 mm maximum height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles (MSL Level-1-260°C-UNLIM).
Can SN74LVTH16244ADGVR drive multiple TTL loads?
Yes, SN74LVTH16244ADGVR can drive multiple TTL loads: its 64-mA low-level output current (IOL) and –32-mA high-level output current (IOH) at VCC = 3.3 V exceed the combined input current requirements of up to 16 standard TTL inputs (each ~1.6 mA), as confirmed by TI's Electrical Characteristics table and application note SCBA004.
