MC74HC244A Octal 3-State Noninverting Buffer/Line Driver/ Line Receiver HighPerformance SiliconGate CMOS MC74HC244A MAXIMUM RATINGS Symbol Parameter Value Unit This device contains protection circuitry to guard against damage V DC Supply Voltage (Referenced to GND) 0.5 to +7.0 V CC due to high static voltages or electric V DC Input Voltage (Referenced to GND) 0.5 to V + 0.5 V in CC fields. However, precautions must be taken to avoid applications of any V DC Output Voltage (Referenced to GND) 0.5 to V + 0.5 V out CC voltage higher than maximum rated I DC Input Current, per Pin 20 mA voltages to this highimpedance cir- in cuit. For proper operation, V and in I DC Output Current, per Pin 35 mA out V should be constrained to the out range GND (V or V ) V . I DC Supply Current, V and GND Pins 75 mA in out CC CC CC Unused inputs must always be I Input Clamp Current (V < 0 or V > V ) 20 mA IK I I CC tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., either GND or V ). I Output Clamp Current (V < 0 or V > V ) 20 mA CC OK O O CC Unused outputs must be left open.
