MM74HC244WM – TBC

The MM74HC244WM is a high-speed silicon gate CMOS octal buffer/line driver featuring non-inverting outputs, fabricated in a 20-SOIC package. This device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it suitable for a variety of logic level translation and signal buffering applications. The MM74HC244WM incorporates three-state outputs controlled by two output enable (OE) inputs (OE1 and OE2), allowing the device to be placed in a high-impedance state for bused applications. When OE1 and OE2 are low, the outputs are enabled, and the device functions as a buffer, passing the input signal to the output. The high-current output drive capability, typically 6mA at 5V, enables the MM74HC244WM to drive heavily loaded lines and backplanes without significant signal degradation. Propagation delay times are typically in the nanosecond range, dependent on supply voltage and load capacitance.
