SN74LVC2244A in place of SN74LVC244A

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC2244A, SN74LVC244A

We have some prototype assemblies that were designed with the 244 part but the vendor supplied the 2244 part. My question is this a workable substitution?

  • The difference between sn74lvc244a and sn74lvc2244a is the presence of 26ohm series resistor on the output of LVC2244a.

    I wouldnt think the performance of the parts will be very different. With the series resistors, you can get away with the requirement of external Rs. 

  • Thanks,
    Got the schematics and after review I found that all they are doing is buffering the DIP switch configuration to the PIC32 inputs directly without the resistors so this is probably the better choice anyway.
