Additional Details

The PI74LPT244LC operates at a 3.3V supply voltage and incorporates 3-state outputs which allow the device to be effectively disconnected from the bus, thus preventing bus contention in systems where multiple devices share the same bus. Its inputs are TTL compatible, simplifying integration with various other logic families. Typically available in SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) packages, the PI74LPT244LC is suitable for surface mounting on printed circuit boards. This buffer/line driver is designed to minimize ground bounce and noise, contributing to cleaner signal transmission. Typical operating temperature range is from -40°C to +85°C.
