Product details
Overview
SN74LVTZ244PWR from Texas Instruments is an octal 3.3-V bus buffer/driver with two independent 4-bit sections, 3.3-V VCC operation, mixed-mode 5-V input tolerance, and bus-hold inputs eliminating external pullups. It supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) and is packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) for space-constrained board designs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTZ244PWR datasheet, SN74LVTZ244PWR pinout, SN74LVTZ244PWR application, or SN74LVTZ244PWR equivalent, this device serves as a level-translating, high-drive 3.3-V logic buffer for legacy 5-V system interfacing, memory address/data bus driving, and hot-swap-capable I/O expansion where power-up/down high-impedance state is required.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTZ244PWR implements Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) for low static power and fast switching. Its dual 4-bit architecture features separate active-low output-enable (OE) controls per section, enabling independent gating of data flow from A inputs to Y outputs.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on unused inputs without external components, while its 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC range supports unregulated battery operation. The device guarantees 5-V-tolerant inputs and delivers 64 mA sink current per output at 3.3 V, with propagation delays under 5 ns and ground bounce <0.8 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct connection to unregulated Li-ion or 3.3-V SMPS rails without LDO regulation |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct interface with 5-V TTL/CMOS logic without level-shifting circuitry |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) and multiple CMOS inputs |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5 ns (CL = 50 pF) - supports high-speed data transfer up to ~100 MHz bus rates |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and communications equipment |
| Power-Up/Down State | High-impedance outputs - prevents bus contention during power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 2 V - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on floating address or control lines |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.95 mm × 4.3 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable control | Independent gating per 4-bit section; OE high forces Y outputs into high-Z state |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Data inputs | Eight buffered inputs with bus-hold; tolerate 5-V signals while powered from 3.3-V VCC |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Buffered outputs | Octal noninverting drivers; each delivers 64 mA sink capability and 5-V-tolerant output voltage swing |
| GND (Pin 10), VCC (Pin 20) | Power terminals | Single-supply operation; decoupling capacitor placement near Pin 20 critical for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC244APWR | Lower drive (24 mA sink), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC range | Suitable only for light-load, fully 3.3-V systems; requires external pullups for floating inputs | Select when cost and power efficiency outweigh 5-V tolerance and bus-hold requirements |
| SN74ALVC244PWR | Higher speed (tPD ≈ 3.3 ns), same 5-V tolerant inputs, no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC | Better for high-frequency clock distribution but lacks bus-hold and industrial temp rating (−40°C to 85°C) | Choose for timing-critical 3.3-V-only designs where external pullups are acceptable |
Compared with SN74LVC244APWR and SN74ALVC244PWR, the SN74LVTZ244PWR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, industrial temperature rating, and 64-mA drive-making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage, high-reliability industrial bus interfacing without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SN74LVTZ244PWR can tolerate?
The SN74LVTZ244PWR supports input voltages up to 5.5 V, enabling direct connection to 5-V TTL or CMOS outputs without external level-shifting circuitry. This 5-V tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) and VCC supply range (2.7 V to 3.6 V), making the SN74LVTZ244PWR ideal for mixed-voltage system integration where legacy and modern logic coexist on the same bus.
Does the SN74LVTZ244PWR require external pullup resistors on unused inputs?
No, the SN74LVTZ244PWR includes active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (1A1–1A4 and 2A1–2A4), which maintains valid logic levels on floating or unused pins without external components. This feature reduces BOM count, saves PCB space, and improves reliability in systems with dynamically configured I/O lines-confirming that external pullup resistors are unnecessary for proper operation of the SN74LVTZ244PWR.
What is the output drive capability of the SN74LVTZ244PWR at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the SN74LVTZ244PWR delivers 64 mA of sink current (IOL) and −32 mA of source current (IOH) per output. This high drive strength ensures reliable signal integrity when driving heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 50 pF buses) or multiple downstream CMOS inputs, directly supporting the SN74LVTZ244PWR's use in memory address/data buffering and industrial backplane applications.
Is the SN74LVTZ244PWR compatible with hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, the SN74LVTZ244PWR enters a high-impedance state during power-up and power-down sequences, preventing bus contention and signal corruption when inserted or removed from a live system. This behavior-combined with latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17-makes the SN74LVTZ244PWR suitable for hot-pluggable modules in industrial PLCs and telecom line cards where system uptime is critical.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74LVTZ244PWR use?
The SN74LVTZ244PWR is supplied in a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP, PW), measuring 6.95 mm × 4.3 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 1.2 mm maximum height. Its compact footprint occupies less than half the PCB area of standard SOIC packages, supporting high-density routing in space-constrained applications such as portable test gear and modular communications boards using the SN74LVTZ244PWR.
