description/ordering information

This octal buffer/driver is designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state

memory-address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.

The SN74AHCT244 is organized as two 4-bit buffers/line drivers with separate output-enable (OE) inputs.

When OE is low, the device passes data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are

in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup

resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
