Frequently asked questions
How does the SN74HC244 differ from the SN74HC240?
The SN74HC244 has non-inverting outputs, while the SN74HC240 inverts its outputs. Check the required signal polarity before choosing between them.
How are the output enables used?
Pull 1OE low to enable the first group of four outputs and 2OE low to enable the second group. When an enable is high, the corresponding outputs go into a high-impedance state.
