SN74LVT244BNSR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LVT244BNSR is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates with a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The device features eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, designed for high-speed data transmission. It utilizes a 20-pin SOIC package suitable for surface-mount applications. Key electrical characteristics include low input current and fast propagation delays typical of the LVT logic family. The component supports bidirectional data bus architectures in systems requiring level translation or signal buffering between different voltage domains.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications relative to standard variants. Ensure the SOIC-20 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest product information sheet before finalizing procurement decisions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems operating at 3.3 V that require octal buffering with 3-state outputs. It serves as a suitable alternative for legacy designs needing level shifting between 5 V and 3.3 V interfaces. Consider the propagation delay and output drive strength requirements of the application to ensure signal integrity is maintained across the bus lines.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LVT series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. The LVT family is characterized by operation at 3.3 V while maintaining compatibility with 5 V tolerant inputs. The SN74LVT244 variant specifically provides octal buffering functionality, distinguishing it from transceiver variants like the 245 which support bidirectional data flow.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for SN74LVT244ANSR or SN74LVT244PW as potential pin-compatible alternatives depending on package preference (SOIC vs TSSOP). Verify functional equivalence with SN74LVC244 if system voltage allows for broader supply ranges.
