description

This octal buffer/line driver is designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V V_CC operation.

The SN74LVC244A is organized as two 4-bit line drivers with separate output-enable (OE\) inputs. When OE\ is low, the device passes data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE\ is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE\ should be tied to V_CC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

The SN74LVC244A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
