DM74LS244N Octal Buffer With 3-State Outputs For Buses

DM74LS244N is used to strengthen digital lines when a source can’t comfortably drive multiple loads or long traces. It’s common on CPU address/data paths, I/O expansion, and bus interfaces where clean edges help avoid read errors. DM74LS244N provides eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs and two enables, so you can partition an 8-bit path or isolate a bus segment during handoff. The datasheet calls out improved noise rejection using input hysteresis, and distributor specs list 22 ns propagation delay at 5 V for timing estimates. Run DM74LS244N close to the connector to keep stubs short and reduce reflections. Request a quote for DM74LS244N.
