The 74HCT244BQ,115 is an integrated circuit (IC) component widely used in digital electronics. It belongs to the 74HCT family, which is renowned for its high-performance characteristics. This IC is specifically designed as an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs.
Key features of the 74HCT244BQ,115 are:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The IC can buffer or drive up to eight independent digital signals. It acts as an intermediary between a microcontroller or digital circuit and various output devices.
2. 3-State Outputs: The 74HCT244BQ,115 features 3-state outputs, which means it can assume three different output states: logic high, logic low, or high impedance. This characteristic facilitates bus-oriented applications where multiple devices can share the same communication lines.
3. High-Speed Operation: The HCT series is known for its high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications requiring fast data transfer rates. The 74HCT244BQ,115 can handle signals with a clock frequency up to 48 MHz, allowing it to meet the demands of contemporary digital systems.
4. TTL Compatibility: The "HCT" in the part number indicates the device's compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) inputs. This feature ensures seamless integration of the IC into circuits that use both TTL and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technologies
