description
The SN64BCT25244 is a 25-Ω octal buffer and line driver designed specifically to improve both the performance
and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented transceivers.
When the output-enable (1OE and 2OE) inputs are low, the device transmits data from the A inputs to the
Y outputs. When 1OE and 2OE are high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
This buffer/driver is capable of sinking 188-mA IOL, which facilitates switching 25-Ω transmission lines on the
incident wave. The distributed VCC and GND pins minimize switching noise for more reliable system operation.
The outputs are in a high-impedance state during power up and power down while the supply voltage value is
less than approximately 3 V.
The SN64BCT25244 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C and 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are observed.
