Texas Instruments designed the SN74HC244N, an octal buffer and line driver with three state outputs.
This integrated circuit is perfect for enhancing the performance and density of three-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.
Wide Operating Voltage Range: The SN74HC244N runs from 2V to 6V.
High-Current Outputs: Can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads.
Low Power Consumption: At 5V, it consumes only 80 µA, making it extremely efficient.
3-State Outputs: This makes it perfect for bus-oriented applications in which numerous components can share bus lines.
distinct Output-Enable Inputs: Two 4-bit buffers/drivers are configured with distinct OE (Output Enable) inputs.
