74HC244; 74HCT244
Octal buffer/line driver; 3-state
Rev. 4 — 24 September 2012 Product data sheet
1. General description
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
V
.
