The TC74LVX244FT(EL) is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs from Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It is part of the LVX family which is known for low-voltage operation and high speed performance. This device is suitable for driving bus lines or buffering memory address signals.

Applications

• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers
• System bus drivers
• Data transmission
• Backplane driving
• Isolation of memory from the system bus

Features

• High-speed operation: tpd = 4.8 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5 V
• Low power dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max) at VCC = 5.5 V
• Output drive capability: 12 LSTTL loads
• Symmetrical output impedance: |IOH| = IOL = 12 mA (min)
• Balanced propagation delays: tPLH ≈ tPHL
• Wide operating voltage range: VCC = 2 V to 5.5 V
• Inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package allowing easy PCB layout

Benefits

• Enables fast data transfer and processing in various applications.
• Conserves power in battery-operated devices and other low-power systems.
• Provides strong drive capabilities for reliable signal transmission.
• Maintains signal integrity and timing accuracy.
• Offers flexibility in different voltage environments.
• Facilitates efficient PCB design and reduces signal interference.

Additional Details

The TC74LVX244FT(EL) features two output enable (OE) inputs, each controlling four buffers. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, allowing multiple devices to share the same bus line. All inputs are designed with protection circuits against static discharge and voltage transients.
