74LVC244AD,118

The 74LVC244A; 74LVCH244A is an octal non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The 3-state outputs are controlled by the output enable inputs. A HIGH on output enable causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit highly tolerant for slower input rise and fall times. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5.0 V devices. In 3-state operation, outputs can handle 5 V. These features allow the use of these devices as translators in a mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environment. The 74LVCH244A bus hold on data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors to hold unused inputs.

• 5 V tolerant inputs/outputs for interfacing with 5 V logic
• Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V
• CMOS low-power consumption
• Direct interface with TTL levels
• Inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V
• High-impedance when VCC = 0 V
• Bus hold on all data inputs (74LVCH244A only)
