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

Applications

  • Servers
  • LED displays
  • Network switches
  • Telecom infrastructure
  • Motor drivers
  • I/O expanders
  • Enable or disable a digital signal
  • Controlling an indicator LED
  • Translation between communication modules and system controllers
