SN74LVCZ244APW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVCZ244APW is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. The device inputs are designed to accept voltages up to 5.5V, providing tolerance for interfacing with higher voltage logic levels. At a 3.3V supply, the maximum propagation delay (tpd) is specified at 5.9ns. Typical output ground bounce (VOLP) characteristics are documented in official specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting buffer channels with three-state output control
• Accepts input voltages up to 5.5V while operating from lower supply rails
• Engineered for low power consumption and high-speed signal buffering

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering
• Clock distribution networks
• Memory module interface drivers

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 the manufacturer's current documentation. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified 2.7V to 3.6V supply range to maintain electrical integrity. Cross-reference the latest datasheet revision for any updates to thermal or electrical parameters before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between 5V tolerant inputs and 3.3V logic systems requiring octal buffering. The LVCZ series offers improved performance over standard LVC variants regarding ground bounce. Consider the TSSOP-20 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the required propagation delay meets the system timing requirements, as this device offers specific speed characteristics at 3.3V.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LVCZ family, which represents an enhanced version of the standard LVC logic series. The Z designation typically indicates optimized performance characteristics, such as reduced ground bounce, compared to the base LVC244A model. It serves as a direct upgrade path for designs requiring higher reliability in dense digital circuits.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The SN74LVCZ244APWR is the reel-based equivalent of this tube-packaged part. For pin-compatible alternatives without the Z optimization, consider the SN74LVC244APW. Verify package compatibility when substituting with other manufacturers' octal buffers.
