The MC74HCT244A is identical in pinout to the LS244. This device may be used as a level converter for interfacing TTL or NMOS outputs to High−Speed CMOS inputs. The HCT244A is an octal noninverting buffer line driver line receiver designed to be used with 3−state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and other bus−oriented systems. The device has non−inverted outputs and two active−low output enables.
The HCT244A is the non−inverting version of the HCT240. See also HCT241.
