General Description

The VHC244 is an advanced high speed CMOS octal bus buffer fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation. The VHC244 is a non-inverting 3-STATE buffer having two active-LOW output enables. These devices are designed to be used as 3-STATE memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus oriented transmitter/receivers.

Features

■ High Speed: tPD = 3.9ns (typ) at VCC = 5V

■ High noise immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 28 VCC (min)

■ Power down protection is provided on all inputs

■ Low noise: VOLP = 0.6V (typ)

■ Low power dissipation: ICC = 4 µA (max) @ TA = 25°C

■ Pin and function compatible with 74HC244
