74VHCT244A
Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outp uts
General Description
The VHCT244A is an a dvanced high speed CMOS o ctal
bus transceiver fabricated with silico n g ate CM OS te chn ology. It achieves high speed operation si milar to equivalent
Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation. The VHCT244A is a non-inverting 3STATE b uffer ha ving t wo activ e-LOW output ena bles. T his
device is designed to be used as 3-STATE memory
address drivers, clock drivers, and bus oriented transmitter/
receivers.
Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to
the input and output (No te 1) pins without regard to the
supply voltage. These circuits preven t device destruction
due to mismatched suppl y and input/output voltage s. This
device can be used to inter face 5V to 3V sys tems an d two
supply systems such as battery back up.
Note 1: Outputs in OFF-State
Features
