CD74ACT244E Buffer Non-Inverting Logic IC 2-Element 4 Bit per Element 3-State Output 20-PDIP

CD74ACT244E Buffer Non-Inverting Logic IC 2-Element 4 Bit per Element 3-State Output 20-PDIP

The CD74ACT244E is a high-speed, non-inverting buffer IC designed to drive data signals in digital systems. It features two independent buffer elements, each capable of handling four bits of data, for a total of 8 bits. The IC is equipped with 3-state outputs, allowing it to drive or place its outputs in a high-impedance state, making it suitable for bus systems where multiple devices share common data lines. This feature ensures that devices can be safely connected to a bus without interfering with each other. The IC operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is available in a 20-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) for easy through-hole integration. The CD74ACT244E is part of the Advanced CMOS (ACT) family, providing faster switching speeds and higher noise immunity compared to standard CMOS devices. Its non-inverting configuration ensures that the input signal is directly passed to the output without modification. The IC is ideal for use in applications such as memory interfacing, data communication, and systems requiring high-speed digital signal buffering. The 3-state output allows for flexible and efficient use in bus architectures, enabling multiple devices to access shared data lines without conflict.
