ON Semiconductor 74LVTH244MSAX Octal Buffer/Line Driver

The ON Semiconductor 74LVTH244MSAX is a high-performance, octal buffer/line driver designed to ensure signal integrity in your digital systems. This device is part of the 74LVTH family, which is known for its low-voltage, high-speed operation. The 74LVTH244MSAX features eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, making it an excellent choice for driving bus lines or buffering memory address registers.

Key Features

• Low Voltage Operation: The 74LVTH244MSAX operates at a nominal voltage of 3.3V, which is compatible with most modern low-voltage logic systems, ensuring reduced power consumption and compatibility with TTL levels.
• High-Speed Performance: With a typical propagation delay of only 3.0 ns, this device is suitable for high-speed applications that require fast signal transitions.
• Bus-Hold Data Inputs: The device includes a bus-hold feature on each data input, which eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors and ensures that the inputs remain at a valid logic level even when left floating.
• Flow-Through Architecture: The pinout of the 74LVTH244MSAX is optimized for simplified PCB routing, supporting a flow-through architecture that eases the board layout process.
• Power-Off High-Impedance State: The 3-state outputs enter a high-impedance state when the device is powered off, which helps prevent any damaging backflow current to the device or the connected circuitry.
• Enhanced Output Drive: With a drive capability of ±24 mA at the outputs, the 74LVTH244MSAX can drive multiple loads simultaneously without compromising signal quality.

Applications

The versatile nature of the 74LVTH244MSAX makes it suitable for a wide array of applications, including:

• Memory address driving
• Bus interfacing in servers, workstations, and telecommunication systems
• Data path drivers
• Buffering for high-capacitance loads

This component is available in a space-saving SSOP package, which is ideal for systems where board space is at a premium. The 74LVTH244MSAX is also characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, making it reliable in a range of environmental conditions. With ON Semiconductor's reputation for quality and performance, this octal buffer/line driver is a dependable choice for your digital logic needs.
