SN74BCT2244NS

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74BCT2244NS is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features eight non-inverting inputs driving three-state outputs, housed in a 20-pin Small Outline (SO) package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It supports surface-mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides eight independent non-inverting signal paths for bus buffering applications
• Integrates three-state output capability to facilitate direct connection to system buses
• Utilizes BICMOS technology to achieve high-speed performance with low power consumption

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory module address and data bus buffering
• Clock distribution networks requiring signal isolation
• General-purpose digital logic level translation between subsystems

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NS' corresponds to the 20-pin SOIC package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the commercial grade specifications (0°C to +70°C). Ensure design compatibility with the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage limits to maintain signal integrity and device reliability.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring octal buffering with tri-state control on a single integrated circuit. It serves as a suitable alternative to standard HC series buffers where higher drive current and faster switching speeds are necessary. Consider the physical footprint of the 20-pin SO package during PCB layout planning.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context
