SN74LS244N

Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. This component houses eight standalone, non-inverting line driver modules inside a standard 20-pin plastic dual-in-line housing, executing the exact same current amplification and 3-state bus isolation tasks as item 8. It functions identically to capture weak data or address lines and reinforce them across extended trace runs or multi-board backplanes, serving as the absolute industry standard data-bus buffer for vintage 8-bit home computers, industrial expansion memory banks, and peripheral interface card links.
