SN74F244NS

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74F244NS is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the F/FAST logic series and features true, non-inverting outputs with three-state capability. The device is housed in a 20-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP-20). It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides eight independent buffers or line drivers for signal conditioning
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate bus-oriented systems
• Delivers high-speed performance characteristic of the F/FAST logic family

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring signal buffering
• Clock drivers for high-speed digital circuits
• Memory module address and data buffering

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the required footprint, as this part uses a 20-pin PDIP configuration. Confirm that the F/FAST logic level compatibility aligns with the target system's input requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the intended application environment before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require high-speed buffering with three-state control. It is suitable for applications needing TTL-compatible inputs and robust output drive capabilities. Consider the PDIP package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component is part of the SN74F244 series, which includes variants such as the SN74F244N and SN74F244NSR. These devices share identical logical functionality but differ in packaging styles, including through-hole and surface-mount options. The SN74F244NS specifically denotes the standard plastic dual in-line package variant.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74F244 variants like SN74F244N or SN74F244NSR, provided the package style is compatible. Cross-family replacements may require verification of voltage levels and propagation delays.
