74LVC244A; 74LVCH244A
Octal buffer/line driver; 3-state

Product data sheet
1. General description
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 1OE and 2OE.
A HIGH on nOE 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.
