Overview

The SNx4HC244 contains 8 individual high speed CMOS buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs and 3-state outputs.

Each buffer performs the boolean logic function xYn = xAn, with x being the bank number and n being the channel number.

Each output enable (xOE) controls four buffers. When the xOE pin is in the low state, the outputs of all buffers in the bank x are enabled. When the xOE pin is in the high state, the outputs of all buffers in the bank x are disabled. All disabled output are placed into the high-impedance state.

To put the device in the high-impedance state during power up or power down, tie both OE pins to VCC through a pull-up resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current sinking capability of the driver and the leakage of the pin as defined in the Electrical Characteristics table.
