74AHC244; 74AHCT244

Octal buffer/line driver; 3-state

Rev. 6 — 2 July 2020 Product data sheet

1. General description

The 74AHC244; 74AHCT244 is an 8-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device can be

used as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. The device features two output enables (1OE and

2OE), each controlling four of the 3-state outputs. A HIGH on nOE causes the outputs to assume

a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs are overvoltage tolerant. This feature allows the use of these

devices as translators in mixed voltage environments.

2. Features and benefits

•Wide supply voltage range from 2.0 V to 5.5 V

•Balanced propagation delays

•All inputs have Schmitt-trigger action

•Overvoltage tolerant inputs to 5.5 V

•High noise immunity

•CMOS low power dissipation

•Input levels:

•For 74AHC244: CMOS level

•For 74AHCT244: TTL level

•ESD protection:

•HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V

•MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200 V

•CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V

•Latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II Level A

•Multiple package options

•Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C and from -40 °C to +125 °C

of an Nexperia product can reasonably be expected to result in personal

injury, death or severe property or environmental damage. Nexperia and its

minimize the risks associated with their applications and products.

Nexperia does not accept any liability related to any default, damage, costs

or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the customer’s

applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s third party

customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary testing for the

liability in this respect.

Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or

repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect

the quality and reliability of the device.
