Product Overview: 74LVC244APW(ROHS) - NXP

The 74LVC244APW is a high-performance, low-voltage, octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs from NXP Semiconductors. It belongs to the 74LVC family, which is designed for use in 3.3V systems but with 5V tolerant inputs. This particular component is designed to improve the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs
• Supply Voltage Range: 1.2V to 3.6V, allowing for use in low-voltage applications
• 5V Tolerant Inputs: Inputs can handle 5V even when the device is powered at 3.3V
• High-Speed Operation: Capable of operating at frequencies up to 100 MHz at a 3.3V supply
• Low Power Consumption: Uses a reduced power supply current compared to traditional 5V devices
• Bus Hold Feature: Retains the last active input state when no input is given, reducing the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors
• Compliance: Fully compliant with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, ensuring environmental sustainability and safety
• Package: TSSOP20 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package with 20 leads)

Applications:

The 74LVC244APW is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers
• Bus-oriented receivers and transmitters
• Input/output port expanders
• Data communication systems
• Control systems

With its robust design and advanced features, the 74LVC244APW(ROHS) from NXP is an excellent choice for designers looking to optimize their high-speed digital systems while maintaining low power consumption and adhering to environmental standards.
