SN74LVT244BDWG4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVT244BDWG4 is an octal buffer and line driver from the Texas Instruments LVT logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and features non-inverting polarity with three-state outputs. The device provides high drive capability, specified by a low-level output current of 64 mA and a high-level output current of -32 mA. Propagation delay is rated at 2.3 ns at 3.3 V. It is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package and supports surface-mount installation across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal buffering architecture providing eight independent signal paths
• Three-state output configuration for bus-oriented applications
• High drive strength suitable for driving capacitive loads

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory module address and data bus buffering
• Clock distribution and buffering circuits
• Control signal routing in embedded systems

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the G4 suffix indicates lead-free composition and RoHS compliance per manufacturer standards. Confirm the BDW package designation corresponds to the specific SOIC-20 variant required for your PCB footprint. Ensure the component matches the SN74LVT244B series specifications rather than generic LVT variants.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing 3.3V logic interfaces requiring robust signal integrity and high current drive capabilities. The wide input tolerance allows compatibility with various logic families while maintaining defined output levels. Consider the thermal performance of the SOIC package for dense board layouts.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVT244B family of octal buffers. The G4 suffix denotes environmental enhancements, specifically lead-free manufacturing processes compliant with international directives. It serves as a direct replacement for standard LVT octal drivers in modern low-voltage digital designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN74LVT244BDW is the non-green equivalent without the G4 suffix. SN74LVT244BPW offers the same electrical characteristics in a TSSOP-20 package.
