3.3V CMOS OCTAL
BUFFER/ DRIVER WITH
3-STATE OUTPUTS AND
BUS-HOLD
APPLICATIONS:
3.3V high speed systems
3.3V and lower voltage computing systems
DESCRIPTION:
The ALVCH244 octal buffer/driver is built using advanced dual metal
CMOS technology. The ALVCH244 is organized as two 4-bit line drivers
with seperate output-enable (OE) inputs. When OE is low, the device passes
data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are in
the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
OE should be tied to V
CC
through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of
the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
The ALVCH244 has been designed with a 24mA output driver. This
driver is capable of driving a moderate to heavy load while maintaining
speed performance.
The ALVCH244 has a "bus-hold" which retains the inputs' last state
whenever the input bus goes to a high impedance. This prevents floating
inputs and eliminates the need for pull-up/down resistors.
