74HC244PW/AUJ

The IC component 74HC244PW/AUJ is a high-speed octal buffer/line driver integrated circuit (IC) that is widely used in digital systems. It is part of the 74HC series, which is known for its high-performance CMOS technology. This IC is fabricated using silicon gate CMOS process and offers compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) input levels. Some of the key features of the 74HC244PW/AUJ include: 1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The IC consists of eight buffer/line driver channels, which can be used to amplify signals or to provide signal isolation between different parts of a digital system. 2. High-Speed Operation: The 74HC244PW/AUJ operates with a wide supply voltage range of 2 to 6 volts and can handle high-speed signals due to its fast propagation delay and high operating frequency. 3. 3-State Outputs: Each channel of the IC has a 3-state output feature, allowing the channels to be independently enabled or disabled. This feature enables multiple devices to be connected in a bus configuration, where only one device is active at a time. 4. Schmitt Trigger Inputs: The inputs of the IC are equipped with Schmitt trigger circuitry, which provides hysteresis and ensures robust signal reception in noisy environments or with slow-rising/falling input signals
