Product details
Overview
74FCT2244ATSOG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a fast CMOS octal buffer/line driver with dual 4-bit 3-state outputs, designed for memory and address bus driving, clock distribution, and bus-oriented transmitter/receiver applications. It features true TTL input/output compatibility (VOH = 3.3 V typ., VOL = 0.3 V typ.), ±15 mA output drive, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and SOIC-20 package.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 datasheet, 74FCT2244ATSOG8 pinout, 74FCT2244ATSOG8 application, or 74FCT2244ATSOG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its balanced output drive with integrated current-limiting resistors, low ground bounce, controlled fall times, and plug-in replacement capability for 74FCT244T in legacy 5 V systems.
Technical Context
The 74FCT2244ATSOG8 implements two independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (OEA and OEB). Its dual-enable architecture allows selective control of two 4-bit groups, supporting flexible bus partitioning and bidirectional data flow management in address/data multiplexed systems.
It uses advanced dual-metal CMOS technology to achieve TTL-compatible voltage levels while maintaining CMOS power efficiency (ICC ≤ 1 mA typ., ΔICC ≤ 2 mA max). Output terminals incorporate built-in current-limiting resistors to reduce system switching noise and eliminate need for external series termination.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT2244CTSO | Same pinout and function; commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical AC/DC specs except temp grading | Limited to indoor, non-industrial environments; not qualified for extended thermal cycling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs environmental robustness requirements |
| SN74F244N | 74F-family TTL part; higher ICC (20 mA typ.), no current-limiting resistors, no industrial temp rating | Higher power consumption and greater ground bounce; requires external termination for clean edges | Choose only for strict 74F logic family compliance in legacy designs where FCT advantages are unnecessary |
Compared with 74FCT2244CTSO and SN74F244N, the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 uniquely combines industrial temperature operation, integrated output resistors for reduced EMI, and CMOS-level static power-making it optimal for new industrial designs requiring reliability, low noise, and legacy compatibility.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74FCT2244ATSOG8?
The 74FCT2244ATSOG8 operates at a nominal VCC of 5.0 V ±5%, meaning its valid supply range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. This specification is strictly defined for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C) and aligns with JEDEC Standard 18. Operation outside this range may result in undefined logic behavior or degraded parametric performance, and is not guaranteed by Renesas.
Does the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No, the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 does not support hot-swap operation. Its absolute maximum ratings specify that no terminal voltage may exceed VCC by more than +0.5 V, and inputs must be driven only after VCC is stable. Applying signals before power-up-or removing VCC while I/O pins are active-can cause latch-up or permanent damage. System-level hot-swap capability requires external protection circuitry not integrated into the 74FCT2244ATSOG8.
How many output groups does the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 have, and how are they controlled?
The 74FCT2244ATSOG8 has two independent 4-bit output groups: OA0–OA3 (driven by DA0–DA3 and enabled by OEA) and OB0–OB3 (driven by DB0–DB3 and enabled by OEB). Each group features active-low 3-state control, allowing simultaneous, selective, or staggered enabling/disabling-enabling flexible bus segmentation and multi-drop timing control in the 74FCT2244ATSOG8.
Is the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 is RoHS compliant. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes green (lead-free) packaging per EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Renesas confirms this variant uses matte-tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound, with full compliance documentation available in the official device-specific PCN and material declarations.
Can the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, the 74FCT2244ATSOG8 is designed for direct TTL load compatibility: its VOH (min 2.4 V at –15 mA) and VOL (max 0.5 V at +12 mA) meet or exceed standard TTL thresholds, and its output structure includes current-limiting resistors to safely sink/source TTL input currents. No external level-shifting or buffering is needed when interfacing with 74LS, 74ALS, or other standard TTL families in the 74FCT2244ATSOG8's specified operating conditions.
