74HC244; 74HCT244
Octal buffer/line driver; 3-state
Rev. 6 — 27 September 2019 Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC244; 74HCT244 is an 8-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. The device can be
used as two 4-bit buffers or one 8-bit buffer. The device features two output enables (1OE and
2OE), each controlling four of the 3-state outputs. A HIGH on nOE causes the outputs to assume
a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs include clamp diodes that enable the use of current limiting
resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.
2. Features and benefits
•Input levels:
•For 74HC244: CMOS level
•For 74HCT244: TTL level
•Octal bus interface
•Non-inverting 3-state outputs
•Complies with JEDEC standard no. 7 A
•ESD protection:
•HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
•MM JESD22-A115-A exceeds 200 V
•Multiple package options
•Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C and -40 °C to +125 °C

of an Nexperia product can reasonably be expected to result in personal
injury, death or severe property or environmental damage. Nexperia and its

Customers should provide appropriate design and operating safeguards to
minimize the risks associated with their applications and products.
Nexperia does not accept any liability related to any default, damage, costs
or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the customer’s
applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary testing for the
customer’s applications and products using Nexperia products in order to
avoid a default of the applications and the products or of the application or
use by customer’s third party customer(s). Nexperia does not accept any
liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
given in the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
