The 74LVC244AE4PG is an IC (integrated circuit) component primarily designed for signal amplification and buffering applications. It belongs to the 74LVC series of low voltage CMOS family, which ensures high performance and low power consumption. This component offers several key features that make it suitable for a variety of electronic designs.
1. Voltage Compatibility: The 74LVC244AE4PG operates on a wide voltage range from 1.65V to 5.5V. This makes it compatible with both low voltage and standard voltage systems, allowing for easy integration into various circuits.
2. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: This IC features eight independent buffer/logic gates. These gates can act as line drivers, which means they can drive long or heavily loaded signal lines without significant degradation of signal quality. This makes the component useful in applications where signal propagation is necessary over extended distances.
3. Tri-State Outputs: The outputs of the 74LVC244AE4PG are tri-state compatible, meaning they can be easily connected to other devices without causing conflicts. These outputs have an output enable (OE) pin, which allows the IC to be enabled or disabled, effectively disconnecting the outputs from the external circuit.
4. High-Speed Operation: With a maximum propagation delay of 6.4ns, this IC offers high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications that require quick data transfer, such as data buses, address decoding, or clock distribution
