SN74LV8T244MPWREP

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV8T244MPWREP is an enhanced product octal buffer and driver featuring three-state outputs and Schmitt-trigger inputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, supporting up to 150Mbps data rates at 5V or 3.3V VCC. The device includes LVxT enhanced input voltage capabilities for single-supply voltage translation between levels such as 1.2V to 5.0V. It provides latch-up performance exceeding 250mA per JESD 17 and functions across an ambient temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Configured into two banks of four drivers, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output enable pin.
• Integrated reduced threshold circuitry supports up-translation when the supply voltage exceeds the input voltage.
• Five-point-five volt tolerant input pins facilitate down-translation when the input voltage is higher than the supply voltage.
• Outputs are always referenced to the supply voltage (VCC), supporting 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V CMOS logic levels.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm the Enhanced Product (EP) designation aligns with defense or aerospace qualification requirements, including controlled baseline and traceability standards. Ensure the component meets the specified operating temperature range and voltage thresholds for the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring robust signal buffering with level-shifting capabilities across varying voltage domains. The LVxT family architecture allows seamless integration between different logic families without external translation components. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and maximum output current limits to ensure reliable operation under heavy capacitive loads or high-frequency switching conditions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV8T244-EP series, representing Texas Instruments' enhanced product line designed for high-reliability applications. The EP designation indicates adherence to strict manufacturing controls, including single-site assembly and fabrication, extended product life cycles, and full product traceability. This context distinguishes it from standard commercial grade logic devices intended for general consumer electronics.
