The N74F244N is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the NXP 74F series of octal buffer/line drivers. It is designed to provide high-speed and non-inverting buffer function for various applications. Here is an overview of the key features of the N74F244N:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The N74F244N contains eight buffer/line driver circuits in a single IC package. Each buffer has an input and output pin, making it suitable for driving up to eight separate lines.
2. Non-Inverting Logic: The IC utilizes non-inverting logic, which means that the input and output signals have the same logic polarity. This feature is crucial for ensuring proper signal integrity in many digital circuit applications.
3. High-Speed Operation: The N74F244N is designed to operate at high-speeds, making it suitable for applications requiring quick signal propagation. It has a typical propagation delay of 6 ns, ensuring efficient data transmission.
4. Tri-State Outputs: The IC features tri-state outputs, allowing the user to disable the outputs by using the Output Enable (OE) input pin. This feature is beneficial when multiple buffers are connected to a common bus, enabling the user to avoid any bus contention issues.
5. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The N74F244N has a wide operating voltage range, from 4.5V to 5.5V
