Octal 3-State Noninverting
Buffer/Line Driver/Line Receiver
High-Performance Silicon-Gate CMOS
The SL74HC244 is identical in pinout to the LS/ALS244. The device
inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs; with pullup
resistors, they are compatible with LS/ALSTTL outputs.
This octal noninverting buffer/line driver/line receiver is designed
to be used with 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and
other bus-oriented systems. The device has noninverting outputs and
two active-low output enables.
• Outputs Directly Interface to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL
• Operating Voltage Range: 2.0 to 6.0 V
• Low Input Current: 1.0 µA
• High Noise Immunity Characteristic of CMOS Devices

This device contains protection circuitry to guard against damage due to hi gh static voltages or electric
fields. However, precautions must be taken to avoid applications of any voltage higher than maximum rated

Unused inputs must always be tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., either GND or VCC).
Unused outputs must be left open.
