Description

The SN54LS244J from Texas Instruments is a high-performance non-inverting Buffer/Line Driver designed to facilitate data transmission between different sections of a digital system, ensuring signal integrity and strength. It belongs to the LS (Low-Power Schottky) logic family, known for its fast switching speeds and efficient power consumption. This device features 8 input lines and 8 output lines, making it suitable for managing parallel data transmission in complex systems.

Packaged in a CDIP-20 case, the SN54LS244J is designed for through-hole mounting, making it robust and easy to install in applications requiring durable connections. The buffer supports 3-state outputs, allowing for high bus driving capability and enabling the integration of multiple devices on a shared data bus. It operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, with a quiescent current of 27mA and a maximum supply current of 46mA, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

The SN54LS244J offers a high-level output current of -12mA and a low-level output current of 12mA, ensuring strong signal driving capability. With a propagation delay of 18ns at 5V, this buffer is well-suited for high-speed applications where timing accuracy is critical. Operating within a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, it is ideal for industrial, automotive, and military applications.

This buffer’s single-ended input and bipolar logic technology ensure stable and efficient operation, making it a key component in applications such as memory address driving, clock buffering, and bus-oriented system
