9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The SN74LV244A device can be used as an 8-channel buffer to drive signals from one controller to another

device. Buffers are typically used for signals running on long traces on printed circuit boards or going through

connectors linking two printed circuit boards together. Buffers are also used to create delay between the lines to

match the edges of two clock or data signals. The high-current capability of the SN74LV244A device also allows

a controller to drive LEDs up to 16 mA.
