Octal Buffers/Drivers With 3-State Outputs

These octal Buffers and Line Drivers are designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, Clock Drivers and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. Taken together with the ?F240 and ?F241, these devices provide the choice of selected combinations of inverting and noninverting outputs, symmetrical (active-low output-enable) inputs, and complementary OE and inputs.
The ?F244 is organized as two 4-bit Buffers Line Drivers with separate output enable () inputs. When is low, the device passes data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
The SN74F244 is available in TI's shrink small-outline package (DB), which provides the same I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in less than half the printed-circuit-board area.
The SN54F244 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55?C to 125?C. The SN74F244 is characterized for operation from 0?C to 70?C.
