The SN74ABT244ADWR is a popular IC component produced by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the SNx4(ABT) series, which comprises advanced BiCMOS technology devices designed for high-speed operation with high-capacity output drive. The SN74ABT244ADWR is an octal buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs. Its key features and an overview are as follows:
1. Overview:
The SN74ABT244ADWR is an 8-bit buffer and line driver designed to drive heavily capacitive loads. It provides eight independent buffers with three-state outputs. The device is particularly useful in applications requiring the driving of bus lines with relatively high capacitive loads.
2. High-Speed Operation:
The IC component is engineered to operate at high speed. It has a maximum propagation delay of 3.8 ns, which enables rapid signal transmission and processing. This feature makes the SN74ABT244ADWR suitable for applications requiring quick data transfers, such as memory systems and data communication interfaces.
3. High Output Drive:
The SN74ABT244ADWR offers a robust output drive capability. It can source or sink up to 32 mA of current, providing a strong drive for capacitive loads. This feature allows the component to effectively drive long bus lines and efficiently distribute signals to multiple devices
