ON Semiconductor MC74HC244ADWG Product Overview

The MC74HC244ADWG from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, octal 3-state non-inverting buffer/line driver designed to be used in applications requiring high speed and low power consumption. This integrated circuit is a part of the high-speed CMOS family and is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology to achieve operating speeds similar to LSTTL, with the low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits.

This device has two active-low output enables, which allow the user to control the state of the outputs. The outputs can be placed in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting them from the circuit, which is particularly useful for bus-oriented systems. The MC74HC244ADWG is suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers, thanks to its high fan-out and drive capability.

With its wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V, the MC74HC244ADWG offers great flexibility for interfacing with various logic levels. Its low input current of 1µA further reduces power consumption, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications. The device's outputs can also drive up to 15 LSTTL loads, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of digital components.

The MC74HC244ADWG is available in a 20-pin SOIC package, which is a surface-mountable design that saves space on printed circuit boards. This package type is ideal for automated assembly processes and can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications.
