description
This octal buffer/line driver is operational at 1.5-V to 3.6-V V
CC
, but designed specifically for 1.65-V to 3.6-V V
CC
operation.
The SN74LVC244A is organized as two 4-bit line drivers with separate 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.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators
in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.
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 SN74LVC244A is characterized for operation from 40
C to 85
C.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES:
1. The input negative-voltage and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
2. The value of VCC is provided in the recommended operating conditions table.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.
