These octal buffers and line drivers are designed specifically toimprove both the performance and density of 3-state memory addressdrivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.Together with the SN54ABT240, SN74ABT240A, SN54ABT241, andSN74ABT241A, these devices provide the choice of selectedcombinations of inverting and noninverting outputs, symmetricalactive-low output-enable (
)inputs, and complementary OE and
inputs.
The SN54ABT244 and SN74ABT244A are organized as two 4-bitbuffers/line drivers with separate
inputs. When
islow, the devices pass noninverted data from the A inputs to the Youtputs. When
is high, theoutputs are in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tiedto VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of theresistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of thedriver.
The SN54ABT244 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT244A is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
