The SN74ACT244DW is an integrated circuit (IC) component belonging to the 74ACT family of buffer/line drivers with tri-state outputs. It is commonly used for bus-oriented applications such as data transfer between different sections of a circuit or system. The SN74ACT244DW provides eight non-inverting buffers with tri-state outputs, making it suitable for bidirectional communication.
Key Features:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The SN74ACT244DW consists of eight separate non-inverting buffers that can act as both input and output. These buffers can be used for driving outputs, buffering signals, or amplifying weak signals.
2. Tri-State Outputs: Each buffer in the device is equipped with a tri-state output, allowing for high impedance or floating state when disabled. This feature enables multiple devices to share a common bus without contention or conflicts.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The SN74ACT244DW operates within a wide voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, making it compatible with various digital systems and logic levels.
4. High-Speed Operation: This IC is designed for high-speed operation, with a typical propagation delay of 4.5 ns. This enables rapid data transfer and real-time signal processing in applications.
5. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The inputs of the SN74ACT244DW feature Schmitt-trigger action, which provides hysteresis and improves noise immunity
