Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output drive current of the SN74HC244DW?
The SN74HC244DW provides a maximum output low current (IOL) of 7.8mA (0.0078A), making it suitable for driving standard CMOS and TTL loads including LEDs and bus lines with moderate capacitance up to 150pF.
How is the output enable controlled on the SN74HC244DW?
The SN74HC244DW features active-low output enable (OE) pins. When OE is pulled LOW, the outputs are active; when OE is HIGH, all eight outputs enter a high-impedance 3-state condition, effectively disconnecting the device from the bus.
What package does the SN74HC244DW use and what are its dimensions?
The SN74HC244DW comes in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) package, designated JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20. This surface-mount package is compact and suitable for automated PCB assembly in high-density designs.
What are common applications for the SN74HC244DW?
Typical applications include microprocessor address and data bus buffering, memory interface driving, industrial PLC I/O expansion, and digital signal fan-out in communication equipment where unidirectional signal routing and bus isolation are needed.
Is the SN74HC244DW RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SN74HC244DW is RoHS compliant. The JESD-609 code e4 indicates that the device is manufactured with lead-free (Pb-free) materials, meeting environmental standards for use in consumer and industrial electronics worldwide.
