Texas Instruments SN74LVC244A/SN74LVC244A-Q1 Octal Bus Buffers
Texas Instruments SN74LVC244A/SN74LVC244A-Q1 Octal Bus Buffers contain eight individual high-speed CMOS buffers organized as two 4-bit buffers/line drives with 3-state outputs. Each buffer performs the Boolean logic function xYn = xAn, where x is the bank number and n is the channel number. These octal bus buffers are designed for 1.65V to 3.6V VCC operation and for asynchronous communication between data buses. The Texas Instruments SN74LVC244A-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
Features
- Operates from 1.65V to 3.6V
- Inputs accept voltages to 5.5V
- Specified from –40°C to +85°C and –40°C to +125°C
- Maximum tpd of 5.9ns at 3.3V
- Typical VOLP (output ground bounce) < 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C
- Typical VOHV (output VOH undershoot) > 2V at VCC = 3.3V, TA = 25°C
- Supports mixed-mode signal operation on all ports (5V input or output voltage with 3.3V VCC)
- Ioff supports live insertion, partial-power-down mode, and back-drive protection
- Can be used as a down translator to translate inputs from a maximum of 5.5V down to the VCC level
- Available in ultra-small logic QFN package (0.5mm maximum height)
- Latch-up performance exceeds 250mA per JESD 17
