SN74F244NSRE4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74F244NSRE4 is an octal buffer and line driver from Texas Instruments' F/FAST logic series. It features two independent four-bit buffers with true outputs and three-state capabilities, housed in a 20-pin plastic small-outline (SOIC) package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a wide operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting signal paths for bus-oriented systems
• Features three-state outputs to isolate the bus when disabled
• Designed for high-speed digital applications using F/FAST technology

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring data buffering
• Clock drivers for high-speed timing signals
• Memory register drives in computing architectures

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the RE4 suffix indicates compliance with specific environmental standards as defined by Texas Instruments. Confirm the SOIC-20 package dimensions match the design footprint. Ensure the F-series speed grade meets the system timing requirements before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and high drive capability within standard 5V logic families. Compare against HC or HCT series if lower power consumption is prioritized over speed. Verify that the three-state control inputs align with the system's bus management logic.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74F244 family of octal buffers. The RE4 suffix typically denotes lead-free packaging and RoHS compliance. It serves as a high-performance alternative to slower logic families while maintaining compatibility with standard TTL input levels.
