Product details

The SN74ALVCH244PWR: This buffer operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, covering the common 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic rails.

24 mA drive — enough for most on-board buses

Each output can sink or source 24 mA. That is plenty for driving a handful of CMOS inputs or a short ribbon cable inside the chassis. If you are driving a long backplane or a high-capacitance trace, you will want a bus transceiver with higher drive (like the 32 mA parts in the 74LVTH family).

Two elements, four bits each — 8-bit bus buffer

The part contains two independent buffer elements, each handling four bits. That gives you an 8-bit buffer in one 20-pin TSSOP package. The 3-state outputs let you share the bus with other devices — just pull the output-enable pins low to activate.

Industrial temperature range — fine for most environments

20-TSSOP package — small footprint, standard pitch

The 20-TSSOP body is 4.40 mm wide with a 0.65 mm lead pitch — a common, easy-to-rout package. Surface-mount only; no through-hole option. The narrow body saves board space compared to a 20-SOIC.

Frequently asked questions

Is SN74ALVCH244PWR obsolete?

No — the SN74ALVCH244PWR is listed as an active product by Texas Instruments. It is still in regular production and suitable for new designs.

Can SN74ALVCH244PWR replace SN74LVCH244A?

The SN74ALVCH244PWR is a close functional equivalent to the SN74LVCH244A — both are 8-bit buffers with 3-state outputs in a 20-TSSOP package, same supply range and drive current. Pin compatibility should be verified against the respective datasheets, but the parametric match is strong.
