The SN74AHC244PWR is an integrated circuit (IC) component, which belongs to the SNx4AHC series of Octal Buffers and Line Drivers. It is designed to provide a high-performance interface for driving various signals in digital systems.
The key features of the SN74AHC244PWR include:
1. Octal Buffer/Line Driver: The IC consists of eight independent buffer gates, which can either drive or receive digital signals. These buffer gates are capable of handling both inputs and outputs, making them versatile for various applications.
2. High-Speed Performance: The SN74AHC244PWR operates at a high-speed performance with a maximum propagation delay of 5.5 nanoseconds (ns). This ensures efficient signal transmission and minimizes delays in digital circuits.
3. Wide Voltage Range: The input and output voltage range for this IC is compatible with both TTL and CMOS levels. It can operate with a supply voltage (VCC) range of 2 V to 5.5 V, making it suitable for a wide range of digital systems and microcontrollers.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The buffer gates in the SN74AHC244PWR utilize Schmitt-trigger inputs, which provide hysteresis and improved noise immunity. This enables reliable operation in noisy environments and reduces the chance of false transitions due to input noise
