The IDT74LVC244APGG8 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the IDT LV(A)C family, specifically designed for high-performance systems. It is a octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, making it suitable for applications requiring bus interfaces between systems running at different voltage levels.
Here are some key features and an overview of the IDT74LVC244APGG8:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The IC has eight input and output channels, allowing it to handle multiple signals simultaneously.
2. 3-State Outputs: This feature enables the IC to effectively control the bus lines by providing three different output states: high, low, or high-impedance (Z).
3. Voltage Level Translation: The IDT74LVC244APGG8 is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V supply systems, facilitating easy voltage level translation between different components or systems.
4. High-Speed Operation: The IC operates at a high speed and supports a wide frequency range, making it suitable for applications where fast data transmission is crucial.
5. Balanced Propagation Delay: It offers balanced output propagation delay to minimize clock skew and ensure accurate synchronization between different devices.
6. Power-Off Protection: The IC has power-off protection circuitry, which prevents backflow of current when the power supply is turned off, ensuring the safety and longevity of the component
