Product Overview: 74LVTH244MSA from ON Semiconductor
The 74LVTH244MSA is a high-performance, low-voltage, BiCMOS octal buffer and line driver designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. Manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leader in energy-efficient innovations, this device is tailored for low-voltage operation with an optimal power and speed combination.
Key Features
- Low Voltage Operation: The 74LVTH244MSA is designed to operate at 2.5V or 3.3V, making it suitable for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors or memory systems that require lower levels of power consumption.
- High Drive: With the ability to drive 15 LSTTL loads, this device is equipped to handle significant output demands, ensuring reliable signal transmission even in demanding applications.
- Power Off Disable: Outputs go to a high impedance state when VCC is at 0V, which prevents damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered off.
- Bus Hold Data Inputs: The data inputs include a bus-hold feature that eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying board design and reducing component count.
- Flow-Through Architecture: This design feature optimizes the PCB layout by facilitating easy routing of data lines from the microprocessor or memory to the associated bus lines.
