74LS244 is an octal buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs. It contains eight buffers, each capable of driving one TTL load. These buffers are controlled by an enable (OE) input, which puts the outputs into a high-impedance state when asserted.
DIP (Dual Inline Package) configuration with 20 pins. It has two sections, each containing four buffer circuits. The pins are assigned for power supply connections, inputs, outputs, and control signals.
74LS244 is compatible with TTL-level input voltages. This means it operates with a logic high threshold typically around 2.0 volts and a logic low threshold typically around 0.8 volts.
74LS244 can drive TTL loads directly. It has sufficient drive capability to sink/source current to drive LEDs, TTL logic gates, and other TTL-compatible devices.
