The 74AHC244PW,118 is an octal buffer/line driver integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It belongs to the AHC (Advanced High-Speed CMOS) logic family, which provides enhanced speed and lower power consumption compared to the standard HC logic family. Here is an overview of the key features of the 74AHC244PW,118:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The IC consists of 8 buffer/line driver channels, each having one input and one output. These channels can be used to buffer signals or drive lines in digital circuits.
2. Non-Inverted Logic: The logic function implemented by the IC is non-inverting, meaning that the output follows the input logic level without any inversion.
3. High-Speed Operation: With the AHC technology, this IC offers fast switching speed, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. It has a propagation delay of only 5.5 nanoseconds (typical), allowing for quick signal transmission.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The 74AHC244PW,118 supports a wide supply voltage range from 2 V to 5.5 V, enabling compatibility with various digital systems.
5. 3-State Outputs: Each output of the IC features a 3-state control, allowing the outputs to be disabled or put into a high-impedance state
