Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16244ADL from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT 16-bit noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode signal operation (5-V inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC). It features bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, Ioff support for hot insertion, and operates down to 2.7 V. Used in backplane interface, memory address buffering, and bus isolation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16244ADL datasheet, SN74LVTH16244ADL pinout, SN74LVTH16244ADL application, or SN74LVTH16244ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, ±64 mA output drive capability at 3.3 V, bus-hold input retention without external resistors, and guaranteed hot-insertion compatibility via Ioff and power-up 3-state logic.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH16244ADL implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (OE). Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables TTL-compatible interfacing while operating from a 3.3-V supply - supporting 5-V input tolerance and 5-V output swing under load. Bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on undriven inputs without pullup/pulldown resistors.
During power-up/down, the device enters high-impedance state when VCC is below 1.5 V; OE must be pulled to VCC above that threshold to guarantee 3-state behavior. Output ground bounce (VOLP) is specified at <0.8 V (VCC = 3.3 V), and latch-up performance exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation and brownout resilience in portable or industrial power domains. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA sink / –32 mA source at VCC = 3.3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffering. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 1.1–4.6 ns (VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables high-speed bus buffering in sub-5-ns timing-critical paths. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V logic families without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±750 μA max (VCC = 3.6 V) - actively retains last valid logic state on floating inputs, eliminating external biasing components. |
| Ioff | ±100 μA (VCC = 0 V) - prevents backflow current during hot-swap events, protecting live backplanes and system integrity. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level reliability. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16244ADL uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, body width 7.5 mm, and maximum height 2.0 mm - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining hand-solderability and reflow compatibility (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control for each 4-bit section | Independent gating of four buffer groups; OE tied high disables all outputs to high-Z, enabling bus sharing. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs (16 total) | All inputs feature integrated bus-hold; no external pullups required for unused or unterminated lines. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | True (noninverting) buffered outputs (16 total) | Output drive strength supports fanout to ≥10 LVTTL loads; symmetric rise/fall times ensure clean signal integrity. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve noise immunity across wide bus widths. |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 27, 33, 38, 44) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, minimizing ground bounce in high-speed switching applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode 5-V/3.3-V interface | Accepts 5-V inputs and drives 5-V loads while powered from 3.3-V rail - eliminates level translators in legacy-to-modern system upgrades. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Retains last valid logic state on all 16 inputs without external components - reduces BOM count and layout area in sparse-bus designs. |
| Ioff and power-up 3-state | Prevents current backflow during hot insertion and forces outputs into high-Z during power ramp - essential for modular backplane systems. |
| Low static power dissipation | ICC = 0.19 mA (outputs disabled, VCC = 3.6 V) - enables use in always-on subsystems with strict quiescent current budgets. |
| Robust ESD and latch-up immunity | 2000-V HBM ESD rating and >500 mA latch-up resistance per JESD 17 - ensures field reliability in harsh industrial environments. |

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN74LVTH16244ADL?
The SN74LVTH16244ADL is specified to operate from 2.7 V to 3.6 V on VCC. Operation below 2.7 V is not guaranteed - though the device enters high-impedance state below 1.5 V, functional behavior is only assured within the recommended range. The SN74LVTH16244ADL supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V, making it suitable for portable industrial tools.
Does the SN74LVTH16244ADL require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its inputs?
No. The SN74LVTH16244ADL integrates bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs, which actively maintains the last valid logic state without external components. TI explicitly states that pullup or pulldown resistors are not recommended when bus-hold is enabled - using them may cause excessive current draw or logic instability. This feature is confirmed in the SN74LVTH16244ADL datasheet Section 1.
Can the SN74LVTH16244ADL be used in hot-insertion applications?
Yes. The SN74LVTH16244ADL includes both Ioff circuitry and power-up 3-state logic, which are explicitly designed for hot-insertion. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current flow to ±100 μA, preventing damage to live backplanes. During power ramp, outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - a core requirement validated in the SN74LVTH16244ADL production data.
What package type does the SN74LVTH16244ADL use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The SN74LVTH16244ADL uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package: 7.5 mm body width, 15.4 mm length, 2.0 mm max height, and 0.5 mm lead pitch. Its JEDEC MO-153-compliant footprint supports standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1, peak 260°C), and the tube packaging (25 units/tube) is optimized for manual assembly and small-batch prototyping.
How does the SN74LVTH16244ADL handle 5-V signals while powered from 3.3 V?
The SN74LVTH16244ADL supports 5-V input and output voltages while operating from a 3.3-V VCC supply - a capability enabled by its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) architecture. Input voltage tolerance extends to 5.5 V, and outputs can drive 5-V TTL loads. This mixed-mode operation is fully characterized in the SN74LVTH16244ADL datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table.
