The 74LCX244MSAX is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LCX family of low voltage CMOS logic devices. It is an octal buffer/line driver specifically designed with 3.3V CMOS technology. With a wide voltage range, it is suitable for interconnecting buses between systems operating at different voltage levels.
Here are some key features of the 74LCX244MSAX:
1. High-Speed Performance: The 74LCX244MSAX offers high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 6.5ns. This makes it ideal for applications that require quick switching and reliable data transmission.
2. Wide Voltage Compatibility: This IC component operates within a wide voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. It enables seamless interconnection between circuits operating at 5V and those running at lower voltages.
3. 8-Bit Buffer/Line Driver: The 74LCX244MSAX consists of 8 independent buffers/line drivers. Each of these buffers can handle bidirectional data flow and supports both inputs and outputs. With 3-state outputs, it allows multiple devices to share the same bus without interference.
4. Schottky Diode Clamping: The IC incorporates Schottky diode clamping protection on all inputs, preventing excessive voltage spikes and providing robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) tolerance
