74VHCT244A
Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The VHCT244A is an advanced high speed CMOS octal
bus transceiver fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technol-
ogy. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent
Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation. The VHCT244A is a non-inverting
3-STATE buffer having two active-LOW output enables.
This device is designed to be used as 3-STATE memory
address drivers, clock drivers, and bus oriented transmitter/
receivers.
Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to
the input and output (Note 1) pins without regard to the
supply voltage. These circuits prevent device destruction
due to mismatched supply and input/output voltages. This
device can be used to interface 5V to 3V systems and two
supply systems such as battery back up.

Note 2:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are values beyond which the device
may be damaged or have its useful life impaired. The databook specifica-
tions should be met, without exception, to ensure that the system design is
reliable over its power supply, temperature, and output/input loading vari-
ables. Fairchild does not recommend operation outside databook specifica-
tions.
