The Story
Octal 3-State Buffer/Line Driver IC - 74HC244
The 74HC Series 74HC244 buffers/line drivers are designed to improve both the performance and PC board density of 3-STATE buffers/ drivers employed as memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented transmitters/receivers. Featuring 400 mV of hysteresis at each low current PNP data line input, they provide improved noise rejection and high fan-out outputs and can be used to drive terminated lines down to 133?.
