1. General description

The 74LVT2244 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. Bus hold data inputs eliminate the need for external pull-up resistors to

define unused inputs

The 74LVT2244 is designed with 30 Ω series resistance in both the HIGH and LOW states of the

output. This design reduces line noise in applications such as memory address drivers, clock

drivers, and bus receivers/transmitters.
