MC74LCX244DTR2 Integrated Circuits (ICs)

Logic - Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers

The MC74LCX244DTR2 is a member of the most popular and on-demand logic chip family - Logic - Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers. It is a 3-state edge-triggered buffer/transceiver, designed to be used for transmitting and receiving data between two digital systems.

Application Field

The main application field of the MC74LCX244DTR2 is in digital systems, such as logic circuits, data bus, and control networks. It can also be used in personal, industrial, and communication systems. This chip is especially suitable for applications that require high speed and low-power usage.

Working Principle

The MC74LCX244DTR2 works based on a differential signal transmission principle. The chip receives an input signal, then generates and amplifies a reciprocal output signal with the same logic level. This chip supports 3-state logic, and can be set to a high-impedance state in order to isolate the transceiver from the connected system or to switch between two different systems.

When in the active state, the MC74LCX244DTR2 will generate two output signals (Voh, Vol) according to the received input signal. It keeps two output lines unlatched and then transmits the data from input to output. The output signals are connected directly to the receiver module through an output enable pin.

Features

The feature of the MC74LCX244DTR2 that sets it apart from its counterparts are its low-power usage and its built-in level shifting. It can support up to 32 input/output lines with a maximum voltage of 5V, and its power consumption is around 260 mW. Other features include its 3.2V to 5.5V single supply voltage, its 6 ns maximum propagation delay time and its 0.8 J maximum jitter.

Conclusion

The MC74LCX244DTR2 is a popular chip used in digital systems and is ideal for applications that require high-speed and low-power usage. It has a differential signal transmission principle, 3-state logic support and various features that makes it an optimal choice for many different types of projects. Thus, the MC74LCX244DTR2 is a suitable logic buffer, driver, receiver and transceiver for many applications.
