SN74LVC244APWR Descripción general

The Texas Instruments SN74LVC244APWR is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package rated from -40C to +125C. Organized as two 4-bit non-inverting buffers with separate active-low output-enable (OE) inputs, it provides asynchronous communication between data buses.

A buffer/line driver is a digital logic IC that provides signal amplification, isolation, and fan-out between system blocks. Within the logic IC hierarchy, it belongs to the standard logic family alongside transceivers, latches, and flip-flops. The 3-state output feature lets the device disconnect from a shared bus, enabling multiple drivers to share a common data line without bus contention.

Key features include a wide 1.65-V to 3.6-V supply range covering both 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic domains, inputs that tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V for mixed-voltage systems, and +/-24 mA output drive at 3.3 V. The Ioff partial-power-down circuitry prevents damaging backflow current when VCC is removed, and latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II. ESD protection exceeds 2000-V HBM (JESD 22 A114-A) and 1000-V CDM.

Fabricated in advanced CMOS, the SN74LVC244A achieves a typical propagation delay of 4.3 ns at 3.3 V while maintaining low static power consumption, balancing speed and efficiency for bus-interface timing budgets.

Typical applications include memory address buffering, clock distribution, and general-purpose I/O expansion for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DSPs, plus level shifting between 1.8-V and 3.3-V domains in industrial control and telecommunications equipment.

Design tip: decouple VCC with a 0.1-uF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin, tie unused OE pins to a defined logic level, and keep traces short for high-speed signals.

Aplicaciones típicas

SN74LVC244APWR es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Microcontroller and FPGA I/O Expansion, Memory Address and Data Bus Buffering, Mixed-Voltage Level Shifting (5-V to 3.3-V), Industrial Control and PLC I/O, Clock and Signal Distribution, Telecommunications Line-Card Logic Buffering.

🔧

Microcontroller and FPGA I/O Expansion

The SN74LVC244APWR extends the drive capability of microcontroller and FPGA I/O banks where native pins cannot source enough current or must be protected from bus loading. Its +/-24 mA drive at 3.3 V fans out clock or control lines to multiple peripheral loads, while the 4.3 ns typical propagation delay adds negligible timing margin cost. The two independent 4-bit halves let one package buffer both a data nibble and control group with separate enables. Place the device adjacent to the host I/O pins with 0.1-uF decoupling to keep reflections controlled on short traces.

🖥️

Memory Address and Data Bus Buffering

In systems with SRAM, flash, or memory-mapped peripherals, the SN74LVC244APWR buffers address lines to reduce capacitive loading on the CPU bus. Its 3-state outputs release the bus when another master drives it, and the Ioff feature prevents backfeed during partial-power-down when the memory domain is unpowered. At 3.3 V the 4.3 ns delay fits typical 50-100 ns memory cycle budgets easily. Using two packages, one per address bank with independent OE control, enables bus parking and reduces dynamic power on long backplane traces.

⚡

Mixed-Voltage Level Shifting (5-V to 3.3-V)

Because its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, the SN74LVC244APWR converts legacy 5-V TTL or 5-V CMOS signals down to clean 3.3-V logic levels while running from a 3.3-V rail. This suits designs mixing legacy 5-V peripherals, sensors, or modules with modern 3.3-V MCUs and FPGAs. Per TI datasheet, VIH/VIL thresholds accommodate both 5-V TTL and 5-V CMOS drivers at 3.3-V VCC. Note the device translates down only; for bidirectional up-translation use the SN74LVC8T245 instead.

🏭

Industrial Control and PLC I/O

Industrial controllers operating from -40C to +125C ambient benefit from the SN74LVC244APWR's full temperature rating and 2000-V HBM / 1000-V CDM ESD robustness in electrically noisy factory environments. It buffers limit-switch inputs, relay drive commands, and status signals between field wiring and the logic core. Latch-up performance exceeding 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II provides resilience against transient overloads. The 3-state outputs let a service processor take over shared status lines during diagnostics without contention with the main controller.

🌐

Clock and Signal Distribution

The SN74LVC244APWR repowers clock lines degraded by fan-out, distributing a single clock source to multiple ICs while restoring fast edges thanks to CMOS output drive. Each 4-bit half can carry an independent clock tree branch with its own OE for power-managed clock gating. With 4.3 ns typical delay and low output skew within the package, it suits 20-50 MHz clock distribution where added delay is calibrated out. Keep traces impedance-controlled and add series termination at the driver output to control ringing on longer lines.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Logic Buffering

Line cards densely packed with processors, PHYs, and FPGAs use the SN74LVC244APWR to buffer inter-chip control buses across backplane connectors. The Ioff partial-power-down feature is essential in telecom shelves where individual cards hot-swap or power up independently - it prevents damaging backflow current through unpowered device inputs. The wide 1.65-V to 3.6-V range accommodates 1.8-V and 3.3-V legacy sections on the same card. Operating temperature up to 125C supports constrained shelf airflow conditions.

What is the supply voltage range of SN74LVC244APWR?
The SN74LVC244APWR operates from a 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC supply, supporting 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic systems. According to TI datasheet SN74LVC244A (SCAS585), inputs also tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V, so the device can interface with 5-V logic signals while running at 3.3 V, making it a popular mixed-voltage bus buffer.
What is the price of SN74LVC244APWR?
The SN74LVC244APWR costs approximately $0.42 for a single unit, dropping to about $0.21 at 1000-piece volumes from authorized distributors as of 2026-08-30.

What is the best drop-in replacement for SN74LVC244APWR?
The best drop-in replacements are the TI SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 (automotive AEC-Q100 grade, identical TSSOP-20 footprint and parameters) and the Nexperia 74LVC244APW,118 (cross-brand, same pinout, package, and 1.65-V to 3.6-V range). The onsemi MC74LCX244DT is another pin-compatible equivalent. All require no PCB rework.
Is the onsemi MC74LCX244DT a pin-compatible equivalent for SN74LVC244APWR?
Yes, the onsemi MC74LCX244DT is a pin-compatible cross-brand equivalent in the same TSSOP-20 package with 2-bit/4-bit organization and 3-state outputs. Its LCX family also operates from 1.65 V (2.0 V nominal) to 3.6 V and offers 5-V tolerant inputs. Always verify propagation-delay margins against your timing budget before finalizing the swap.
SN74LVC244A vs SN74LV244A - which is better for 3.3-V bus buffering?
For 3.3-V bus buffering, the SN74LVC244A is generally the better choice because it operates down to 1.65 V with 5.5-V tolerant inputs and faster propagation delay (about 4.3 ns typical). The SN74LV244A is the 5-V-family variant and is DigiKey cross-reference-listed as parametrically similar, but the LVC version suits wide-range and mixed-voltage designs better.
When should I choose SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 over SN74LVC244APWR?
Choose the SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 when the design must meet automotive AEC-Q100 qualification requirements; it shares the identical die behavior, TSSOP-20 (PW) footprint, and 1.65-V to 3.6-V specifications as the SN74LVC244APWR. For industrial and consumer designs where Q1 certification is not needed, the standard APWR is cheaper and more widely stocked.

Guía de selección

Choose SN74LVC244APWR for general 1.8-V/3.3-V bus buffering with 5-V tolerant inputs in industrial and consumer products - it is inexpensive, widely stocked, and rated to 125C. Choose SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 when AEC-Q100 automotive qualification is mandatory; it is footprint- and function-identical. Choose SN74LV244APW only if the system runs at a 5-V nominal supply and Ioff is not needed. For second-source supply-chain resilience, the Nexperia 74LVC244APW,118 and onsemi MC74LCX244DT are pin-compatible drops - note the onsemi part tops out at 85C ambient. Avoid the SN74LVC540APWR unless inverting outputs are acceptable, and use SN74LVC8T245 instead when bidirectional dual-rail level translation is required.

Diferenciadores clave

  • 5.5-V tolerant inputs at any VCC (frente a SN74LV244APW)
  • Ioff partial-power-down protection (frente a SN74LV244APW)
  • Lower-cost non-Q1 option for industrial designs (frente a SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1)
  • True non-inverting drop-in family (frente a SN74LVC540APWR)

Notas de diseño

Decouple VCC with a 0.1-uF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin 20, plus one bulk 4.7-uF capacitor per few buffers on the rail. Simultaneous switching of eight outputs into capacitive loads produces ground bounce; keep the GND return path (pin 10) low-inductance with a via directly to the ground plane. Limit dV/dt-controlled loading if driving high-capacitance buses.

Never leave OE1 (pin 1) or OE2 (pin 19) floating - both are active-low 3-state controls and floating enables cause outputs to enter indeterminate Hi-Z states or oscillate. Tie each OE to GND through a 10-kOhm pull-down (or drive it) to guarantee defined bus behavior at power-up. Note the SN74LVC540A is inverting: swapping in that family variant requires logic-polarity review.

For bus lines longer than about 10 cm, add 22-33 ohm series termination resistors at each driver output to damp reflections; the 24-mA CMOS output drive has low output impedance that over-drives unterminated traces. Keep A-input and Y-output trace stubs short and route away from clock aggressors. When buffering clocks, skew between channels within one package is minimal, but add the 4.3 ns typical delay to your timing budget.

The TSSOP-20 (PW) has 0.65-mm pin pitch; use a standard 20-pin TSSOP land pattern per the TI datasheet mechanical section. The APWR suffix is tape-and-reel (2000 units/reel) - for prototypes order cut tape. If AEC-Q100 qualification may be needed later, consider laying out for the SN74LVC244AQPWRQ1 which is footprint-identical.
