Series Resistors, So No External Resistors Are RequiredEPIC is a trademark of Texas Instruments Incorporated.
This octal buffer/line driver is designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74LVC2244A 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.
The outputs, which are designed to sink up to 12 mA, include equivalent 26-
resistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
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 VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
The SN74LVC2244A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
