SN74HCT244PWT

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74HCT244PWT is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, utilizing HCT CMOS technology. It features eight non-inverting outputs organized into two independent four-bit sections with separate output enable inputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and provides three-state outputs for effective bus driving. It offers low input current compatible with TTL logic levels and supports surface-mount installation in a TSSOP-20 package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the TSSOP-20 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets prior to procurement. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range specifications for the intended application environment.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring octal buffering with independent control over two data groups. It is appropriate for systems needing TTL-level compatibility while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Consider the TSSOP-20 package constraints regarding board space and thermal management during the layout phase.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCT244 family of octal buffers and line drivers. It shares functional characteristics with other variants in the series but differs in packaging and specific ordering suffixes.
