SN74F244NE4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74F244NE4 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, featuring three-state outputs. It is organized as two independent 4-bit buffers with separate active-low output enable inputs (1OE and 2OE). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. It utilizes the F/FAST logic family technology and is housed in a 20-pin Plastic Dual In-Line (PDIP) package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to the lead-free and RoHS-compliant variant specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm the package type matches the required 20-pin PDIP form factor. Ensure the component status is listed as active production before finalizing procurement plans.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when non-inverting octal buffering with independent channel control is required. It complements the SN74F240 and SN74F241 by offering specific combinations of inverting and non-inverting outputs. Consider the F/FAST series characteristics for speed and drive capability requirements.
