1. General description

The 74LV244 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. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to

interface inputs to voltages in excess VCC.

2. Features and benefits
