SN74HCS244: drive capability

Part Number: SN74HCS244

Tool/software:

There seems to be no mention of IOH or IOL in the data sheet.

However, Continuous output current is described.

Is it correct to think that the drive capability is ±35mA? (If there is only one Output pin, it should be able to flow up to ±35mA.)

Will overshoot and undershoot be larger than LVC or ALVC series?

  • The drive capability is a test condition for the VOL/VOH specifcations. HCS outputs can drive about 6 mA with a 5 V supply.

    HC/HCS/AHC outputs are rather weak, so there is essentially no over/undershoot.
