SN74LVC244APWTE4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVC244APWTE4 is an octal buffer and line driver from Texas Instruments' LVC logic family. It features eight non-inverting channels with three-state outputs, organized as two independent four-bit sections. Designed for low-voltage operation, it functions within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. The device utilizes TSSOP-20 surface-mount packaging and supports mixed-mode signal operations, allowing inputs to accept voltages up to 5.5 V while the core operates at lower levels.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports asynchronous communication between data buses via independent output enable controls
• Enables hot insertion and partial power-down protection through IOFF functionality
• Provides five-volt tolerant inputs compatible with mixed-mode signal environments

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Data bus buffering in industrial control systems
• Signal driving in consumer electronics and imaging devices
• Wireless infrastructure and video processing equipment

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E4' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS status per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the 'PW' package code corresponds to the TSSOP-20 form factor. Ensure the 'A' designation matches the intended speed grade and electrical characteristics for your design requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when low-power CMOS performance is required for 1.8 V or 3.3 V systems. The wide input voltage tolerance simplifies interfacing with legacy 5 V logic without level shifters. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the TSSOP package for high-density board layouts.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVC244 series of octal buffers. It shares functional similarities with other LVC family members but is distinguished by its specific package type and manufacturing revision codes. The device serves as a standard interface solution for digital signal routing in modern electronic architectures.
