The 3-State outputs are essential for read\/write operations where the memory must be disconnected from the bus when not selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLevel Shifting Between 3.3V and 5V Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a wide supply range, the 74VHC244BQ can be powered from a 3.3V rail to buffer 3.3V logic signals, or from a 5V rail to buffer 5V signals. This flexibility simplifies interfacing between different voltage domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDriving LEDs and Low-Power Loads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8mA sink\/source capability is sufficient to drive standard LEDs with a series resistor. The non-inverting buffer configuration simplifies the logic design, as the output state matches the input state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIndustrial Control Input\/Output Expansion\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn industrial control systems, the 74VHC244BQ can buffer sensor signals or control signals over longer traces. The 3-State feature allows multiple sensors to share a single ADC input line, reducing the number of I\/O pins required on a microcontroller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAutomotive ECU Signal Conditioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, this buffer is suitable for automotive electronic control units (ECUs) where reliable operation under extreme temperatures is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eProduct attributes\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eProperty Value\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eNexperia USA Inc.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eProduct Series\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e74VHC\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eBulk | \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003ePart Status\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eActive\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eLogic Type\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eBuffer, Non-Inverting\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Elements\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Bits per Element\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eInput Type\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e3-State\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eCurrent - Output High, Low\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e8mA, 8mA\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eVoltage - Supply\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e2V ~ 5.5V\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e-40°C ~ 125°C (TA)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eGrade\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eQualification\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eSurface Mount\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003ePackage \/ Case\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e20-VFQFN Exposed Pad\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003eSupplier Device Package\u003c\/td\u003e \t\u003ctd\u003e20-DHVQFN (4.5x2.5)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: What is the logic family of the 74VHC244BQ?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: It belongs to the 74VHC (Very High-Speed CMOS) logic family.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: What is the function of this IC?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: It is a dual (2-channel) non-inverting buffer with 3-State outputs.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: How many channels does it have?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: It has 2 independent buffer channels.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: What is the output type?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: The outputs are 3-State, allowing for connection to shared buses.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: What is the operating voltage range?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: It operates from 2V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eQ: What package is available?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: It comes in a 20-pin VFQFN package with exposed pad.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Nexperia USA Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53666173780257,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/hqickey.com\/de\/products\/74vhc244bq-115","provider":"HQICKEY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
