Additional Details:

The IDT74FCT244ATPY8 operates over a wide temperature range. The 3-state outputs are controlled by an output enable (OE) input. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled, and when OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state. This allows multiple devices to be connected to the same bus, with only one device actively driving the bus at any given time. The device is typically supplied in a TSSOP package.
