ECG746

ECG746: Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs packaging eight independent non-inverting digital logic line buffers into a wide 20-pin dual-in-line package configuration. It functions by boosting fragile, low-power digital signals from a host microcontroller to cleanly navigate high-capacitance system buses, using its high-drive 3-state output lines to safely isolate cards from a shared pathway when disabled.
