The 74HC244; 74HCT244 is an 8-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device
can be used as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. The device features two output
enables (1OE
causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs include clamp diodes
that enable the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of

for quick reference only and should not be relied upon to co nt ain det ailed and
full information. For detailed and full information see the relevant full data
sheet, which is available on request via the local NXP Semiconductors sales
office. In case of any inconsistency or conflict with the short data sheet, the
full data sheet shall prevail.
Product specification — The information and data provided in a Product
data sheet shall define the specification of the product as agreed between
NXP Semiconductors and its customer, unless NXP Semiconductors and

Semiconductors products in order to avoid a default of the applications and
the products or of the application or use by customer’s third part y
customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
Terms and conditions of commercial sale — NXP Semiconductors
products are sold subject to the general terms and conditions of commercial
sale, as published at http://www.nxp.com/profile/terms
