The 74ACT11244DW is a high-performance, integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is part of the 74ACT series, which is known for its advanced CMOS logic, operating with the speed of bipolar TTL but at a fraction of the power consumption.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal Buffer/Line Driver
• Number of Channels: 8
• Output Type: 3-State
• IC Package Type: SOIC, 24-Pin
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C

Product Overview

The 74ACT11244DW is designed to be used as an octal buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs. Each buffer has a separate output-enable (OE) input which can be used to place the output into a high-impedance state. This feature is particularly useful when implementing bus-oriented systems, allowing multiple devices to share the same output lines without conflict.

The device is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which allows for a compact footprint on printed circuit boards. The 74ACT11244DW is capable of driving heavily loaded outputs with up to 24mA of current, ensuring strong signal integrity even in demanding applications.

Applications

The versatility of the 74ACT11244DW makes it suitable for a wide array of applications. It is commonly used in bus interface or signal buffering tasks in systems that require high-speed, low-power operation. Typical applications include:

• Memory drivers
• Bus transceivers
• Input/output port drivers
• Data communication systems

The device's performance is guaranteed over the full military temperature range, making it a reliable choice for industrial and military-grade applications where extreme conditions are commonplace.
