Additional Details

The PI74LPT244CSX operates at 3.3V and features 3-state outputs, enabling it to be disconnected from the bus. This is crucial for preventing bus contention in multi-drop configurations. Its inputs are TTL compatible, making integration with various logic families easy. It is commonly available in SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) packages, suitable for surface mounting on PCBs. This device is designed to minimize ground bounce and noise, ensuring a cleaner signal transmission. The operating temperature range is generally -40°C to +85°C, making it appropriate for industrial applications.
