Enhanced product 8-ch, 4.5-V to 5.5-V buffers with TTL-compatible CMOS inputs and 3-state outputs

This octal buffer and line 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 SN74HCT244 device is organized as two 4-bit buffers/drivers, with separate output-enable (OE)\ inputs. When OE\ is low, the device passes noninverted data from the A inputs to the Y outputs. When OE\ is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
