74AHC244PW,118

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Nexperia 74AHC244PW,118 is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, housed in a TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. The device provides balanced propagation delays with Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs. It supports mixed-voltage environments through overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. Static characteristics include low power dissipation and high noise immunity.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Features two independent output enable controls for managing data flow across the eight channels.
• Includes Schmitt-trigger action on all input lines to ensure signal integrity against noise.
• Provides overvoltage tolerance on inputs, allowing safe interfacing in mixed-voltage logic systems.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Mixed-voltage bus interface translation
• Clock buffering and distribution
• Memory address/data bus drivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation before integration. Ensure ambient operating temperatures align with the specified -40 °C to +125 °C range for reliable performance.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state capability is required. The CMOS input levels distinguish it from TTL-compatible variants. Verify that the TSSOP20 footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AHC logic family, designed for high-speed CMOS applications. It serves as a standard solution for driving loads and isolating circuits in digital systems. The PW suffix indicates the thin shrink small outline plastic package configuration.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The 74AHCT244PW,118 is a compatible alternative within the same series, differing primarily in input threshold compatibility with TTL logic levels rather than electrical function.
