The 74AC244SC is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component belonging to the 74AC series family. It is specifically designed for use in digital logic applications and is widely used in various electronic devices and systems. This IC is a buffer/line driver that operates on a single power supply and provides non-inverting outputs. It is available in a small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package.
Key features of the 74AC244SC include:
1. High-Speed Operation: This IC supports high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 4.5 nanoseconds (ns). It allows for efficient data transfer and processing in fast-paced applications.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The 74AC244SC can operate within a wide range of voltage inputs, typically ranging from 2V to 6V. This flexibility makes it compatible with various power supply configurations.
3. Tri-State Outputs: The IC has eight buffered outputs with tri-state capability. The tri-state outputs allow the device to assume a high-impedance state, which enables the sharing of bus lines among multiple devices without data interference
