Product Overview: 74LVC16244ADGGRG4 by Texas Instruments

The 74LVC16244ADGGRG4 is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer and line driver designed by Texas Instruments to address the needs for high-speed signal transmission with minimal power consumption. This integrated circuit is part of the LVC family, which stands for Low-Voltage CMOS, indicating that it operates with a low supply voltage range and is fabricated with a CMOS technology that ensures high speed and reduced power dissipation.

The device features 16 non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, which makes it an excellent choice for driving bus lines or buffering memory address registers. The 3-state outputs allow the user to place the output in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting it from the bus, which is useful in multiplexed bus systems where multiple devices share the same connection lines.

Constructed with an advanced 5V tolerant I/O, the 74LVC16244ADGGRG4 ensures compatibility with mixed-voltage systems and provides interface flexibility. This feature allows the device to be used in environments where the logic signal levels may vary from 3.3V to 5V without risking damage to the device or signal integrity.

The device is housed in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 48 pins, identified by the package designator DGGR. This package is optimized for reduced space on PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT), providing a compact and efficient solution for modern electronic applications.

Key features of the 74LVC16244ADGGRG4 include:

• Wide operating voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V
• 5V tolerant inputs/outputs for interfacing with 5V logic levels
• High-impedance state during power-up and power-down to prevent bus contention
• Low power consumption with a typical ICC of only 40µA
• High-speed performance with a propagation delay of typically 3.8ns
• Support for live insertion and extraction without glitching
• Latch-up performance exceeds 250mA per JESD 78, Class II
• ESD protection exceeds JESD 22, ensuring robustness for handling and assembly

Overall, the 74LVC16244ADGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a reliable and versatile solution for applications that require high-speed data transmission with minimal power consumption and the flexibility to interface with various logic levels.
