The MC74HC244ADTG is an integrated circuit component that falls under the category of Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs. It is part of the HC (High-Speed CMOS) family of ICs manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This component is widely used in digital circuits and microcontroller applications for buffering and driving signals.
Key Features:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The MC74HC244ADTG has eight buffer gates that can be used individually to buffer or line drive the input signals.
2. 3-State Outputs: Each buffer gate has a 3-state output control feature. This allows the output to be put into a high impedance state, which effectively disconnects the output from the circuit, avoiding any signal interference.
3. High-Speed Operation: The HC family of ICs is known for its high-speed CMOS technology. The MC74HC244ADTG operates at a high speed while consuming low power, making it suitable for applications that require both speed and efficiency.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: This IC can function within a broad voltage range, from 2 to 6 volts. This flexibility in the operating voltage makes it compatible with a wide range of digital systems and microcontrollers.
5. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The buffer gates of MC74HC244ADTG have Schmitt-trigger inputs. These inputs allow the component to tolerate slow input transition rates while maintaining a stable output, minimizing signal distortion in noisy environments
