Performance and Applications

The SN74LVC16244AGQLR is designed to provide high-speed signal distribution and drive with minimal power dissipation. It is suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers in a variety of applications. Thanks to its wide operating voltage range and low propagation delay, it is particularly well-suited for interfacing between different voltage domains within a system.

With its 3-state outputs, the SN74LVC16244AGQLR can be placed in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the output from the bus line, which is a useful feature for bus management and system modularization. The device also supports live insertion and withdrawal (hot plugging), which allows for system maintenance and expansion without powering down the system.

Its robust design includes inputs and outputs that are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD), ensuring reliability and longevity in harsh environments. The SN74LVC16244AGQLR is commonly used in telecommunications, computing, industrial, and consumer electronics where high-speed and low-power operation are essential.
