Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 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 across –40°C to 125°C. It is used in backplane interface, memory address buffering, and bus isolation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 datasheet, SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 pinout, SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 application, or SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state enable architecture, TTL-compatible input thresholds at 3.3-V supply, bus-hold current specification (±750 µA), and SSOP-48 package thermal impedance (63°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 implements four independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with active-low output-enable (OE) control and symmetrical drive capability (IOL = 64 mA, IOH = –32 mA at VCC = 3 V). Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables low static power dissipation while maintaining TTL-level interface compatibility.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on undriven inputs without external resistors, with dynamic hold current up to ±750 µA. Power-up 3-state and Ioff protection ensure safe hot-insertion: outputs remain high-impedance when VCC is below 1.5 V or during power transitions.
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 without functional degradation |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / –32 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly |
| tPLH/tPHL | 1.1 ns to 4.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - enables high-speed bus buffering in sub-5 ns timing-critical paths |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±750 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on floating data lines |
| Ioff | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow current during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| θJA | 63°C/W - SSOP-48 thermal performance suitable for sustained 50–100 mW power dissipation in industrial ambient |
| VIL/VIH | 0.8 V / 2.0 V - TTL-compatible input thresholds allow direct interfacing with 5-V logic families |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.635 mm lead pitch, 12.6 mm × 7.5 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height. The package is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control per 4-bit section | Each OE independently disables its associated 4-bit buffer group into high-impedance state |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs (16 total) | All inputs feature integrated bus-hold; no external biasing required for unused pins |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | Noninverting buffered outputs (16 total) | True outputs with symmetrical drive strength; compatible with 5-V TTL loads |
| VCC (pins 7, 18, 31, 42) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce supply noise and improve high-frequency stability |
| GND (pins 4, 10, 22, 27, 34, 45) | Ground reference | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Accepts 5-V inputs and drives 5-V loads while powered from 3.3-V VCC, enabling seamless voltage translation between legacy and low-voltage subsystems |
| Bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all 16 data inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-pin-count bus interfaces |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent backdrive and bus contention during live board insertion into powered backplanes |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures clean signal integrity under fast-switching, high-current conditions |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C, supporting deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive strength (24 mA sink), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC range | Suitable only for 3.3-V-only systems; requires external biasing on unused inputs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage and hot-swap requirements |
| SN74ALVCH16244DLR | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.2 ns), 1.65–3.6 V VCC, no Ioff or bus-hold | Not rated for hot insertion; lacks protection for undriven inputs in modular systems | Prefer for high-speed, single-supply designs where layout guarantees stable input states |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and SN74ALVCH16244DLR, the SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 uniquely combines 5-V-tolerant inputs, bus-hold, Ioff, and industrial temperature range-making it the only choice for robust mixed-voltage backplane and hot-plug applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74LVTH16244ADLG4?
The SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range is validated per JEDEC standards and supports deployment in engine control units, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom infrastructure where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. The SSOP-48 package's 63°C/W thermal resistance ensures stable junction temperatures under typical industrial power dissipation.
Does SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 require external pullup resistors on unused inputs?
No, SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors on unused inputs. Its integrated bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states with ±750 µA dynamic hold current, eliminating floating input risks and reducing BOM count. This feature is confirmed in the device's datasheet Section 1 "Features" and Electrical Characteristics table under II(hold).
Can SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 interface directly with 5-V logic while powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 supports mixed-mode signal operation: it accepts 5-V input voltages and drives 5-V loads while powered from a 3.3-V VCC. This is enabled by its ABT process and verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings (VI up to 7 V) and Recommended Operating Conditions (VI up to 5.5 V), making it ideal for bridging legacy 5-V and modern 3.3-V subsystems.
What package type is used for SN74LVTH16244ADLG4?
SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with dimensions 12.6 mm × 7.5 mm and 0.635 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. This package is documented in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM and mechanical drawing DGG0048A, confirming compatibility with standard SSOP reflow profiles.
How does SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 support hot-insertion in backplane systems?
SN74LVTH16244ADLG4 supports hot-insertion via two key features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V (preventing backdrive current), and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance during VCC ramp-up/down. These functions are explicitly tested and guaranteed per JESD78, enabling safe live insertion into powered backplanes without disrupting bus operation.
