These octal buffers/line drivers are designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The 'LVCH244A devices are organized as two 4-bit line drivers with separate output-enable (OE\) inputs. When OE\ is low, these devices pass data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE\ is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
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 SN54LVCH244A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74LVCH244A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
