SN74LV244ADBRG4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV244ADBRG4 is an octal buffer and line driver from the SN74LV244A series, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features eight non-inverting channels organized as two 4-bit drivers with separate output-enable inputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and utilizes CMOS technology. It is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package (DB) and supports surface-mount installation. The component provides tri-state outputs and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RG4' indicates RoHS compliance and green manufacturing status as per Texas Instruments standards. Confirm the package type is SSOP-20 (DB) rather than SOIC or TSSOP variants. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required for the target circuit design before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide input voltage range (2 V to 5.5 V) is required to interface between different logic families. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed buffering with tri-state capability. Compare against LVTH or LVC series if specific drive strength or propagation delay characteristics differ significantly from project requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV244A family of octal buffers and line drivers. It is functionally similar to the SN74LV244ADW but differs in packaging, utilizing an SSOP form factor instead of SOIC. The RG4 suffix typically denotes environmental compliance attributes defined by the manufacturer.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74LV244ADWR and SN74LV244ADW. Verify pin compatibility and package dimensions when replacing with these alternatives.
