74HC244; 74HCT244
Octal buffer/line driver; 3-state
Rev. 5 — 26 February 2016
Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC244; 74HCT244 is an 8-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device
can be used as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. The device features two output
enables (1OE and 2OE), each controlling four of the 3-state outputs. A HIGH on nOE
causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs include clamp diodes
that enable the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of
V
CC
.
2. Features and benefits
Input levels:
For 74HC244: CMOS level
For 74HCT244: TTL level
Octal bus interface
Non-inverting 3-state outputs
Complies with JEDEC standard no. 7 A
ESD protection:
HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200 V

5. Pinning information
5.1 Pinning
(1) This is not a supply pin. The substrate is attached to this
pad using conductive die attach material. There is no
electrical or mechanical requirement to solder this pad.
However, if it is soldered, the solder land should remain
floating or be connected to GND.
