STMicroelectronics 74LVQ244MTR Octal Buffer/Line Driver

The 74LVQ244MTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance, octal buffer and line driver designed to interface with 3.3V logic levels while providing the capability to drive heavily loaded outputs at high speeds. This integrated circuit is suitable for implementing buffer functions in a wide range of digital applications, especially where it is necessary to increase the load-driving capability of a digital circuit without compromising speed or power consumption.

Constructed with advanced low-voltage CMOS technology, the 74LVQ244MTR offers an optimal balance between speed and power consumption, operating with a voltage range of 2.5V to 3.6V. This makes it ideal for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors and microcontrollers in systems that require low power dissipation and high noise immunity.

The device features eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, which can be independently controlled via two output enable pins (OE1 and OE2). This allows for easier connection to buses and for bidirectional data flow, providing flexibility in complex digital systems. The 3-state outputs also ensure that multiple devices can share a common bus without interference when the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

With its wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, the 74LVQ244MTR is robust and reliable for industrial applications. The device is presented in a compact, surface-mount TSSOP-20 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium.

Key features of the 74LVQ244MTR include:

• Low-voltage operation (2.5V to 3.6V)
• High-speed performance
• Octal non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs
• Independent output enable controls for bus-oriented applications
