The SN74S244DW is an integrated circuit (IC) component from Texas Instruments. It is a octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed to be used in digital logic and interface applications. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The SN74S244DW features 8 independent buffer/line driver channels. Each channel can be used to buffer or drive a logic signal.
2. 3-State Outputs: The outputs of this IC component can be put into a high-impedance (3-state) mode. This allows multiple devices to share a common bus, avoiding conflicts when more than one output is driving the bus at the same time.
3. TTL-Compatible Inputs: The inputs of the SN74S244DW are compatible with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels. This means that it can be easily integrated with other TTL-compatible devices, simplifying system-level designs.
4. Wide Power Supply Range: The IC operates with a wide power supply voltage range, typically between 4.5V and 5.5V. This makes it suitable for various applications where different power supply levels are present.
5. High-Speed Operation: The SN74S244DW is designed to operate at high speeds, providing fast data propagation between input and output. It has a typical propagation delay of around 9 nanoseconds, making it suitable for applications that require quick response times
