SN54BCT244, SN74BCT244 are octal buffers/drivers with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments Incorporated. These octal buffers and line drivers are designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.
The SN54BCT244 and SN74BCT244 are octal buffers and line drivers designed to improve performance and density of 3‑state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus‑oriented receivers. They are available in multiple package options, including plastic DIP, small‑outline (DW, DB), ceramic chip carriers, and flat‑packs.
These devices operate over a wide temperature range (SN54BCT244: –55 °C to 125 °C; SN74BCT244: 0 °C to 70 °C) and provide ESD protection exceeding 2000 V. The datasheet lists recommended operating conditions, absolute maximum ratings, and switching characteristics such as supply voltage (4.5 V–5.5 V) and output current limits.
