The CD74AC244M is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the CD74AC series. It is a high-speed octal buffer and line driver with three-state outputs. Its primary function is to provide buffering and driving capabilities for digital signals in electronic circuits. Here are the key features and specifications of the CD74AC244M:
1. Octal Buffer and Line Driver: The CD74AC244M is designed to operate as an octal buffer and line driver. It has eight input/output (I/O) pins, labeled from 1A to 8A and 1Y to 8Y, which can be used to buffer and drive digital signals.
2. Three-State Outputs: The IC has three-state outputs, which means it can be enabled or disabled to provide a high impedance state (off state) for the output pins. This feature allows multiple devices to be connected to a common bus line without any conflict or interference.
3. High-Speed Operation: The CD74AC244M has a high-speed operation capability, making it suitable for applications that require fast signal propagation and response times. It operates at a typical speed of 12 nanoseconds, enabling efficient data flow in digital systems.
4. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC component can operate within a wide supply voltage range, typically between 2V and 6V. This flexibility in voltage compatibility ensures compatibility with various power supply configurations and system designs
