Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address, clock, and bus interface applications. It features on-chip 25-Ω series output resistors, 4.1 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), ±15 mA output drive capability, Ioff support for partial-power-down operation, and TTL-compatible input/output voltage levels.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 datasheet, CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 pinout, CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 application, or CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 equivalent, this device is selected for high-noise-immunity digital interfacing in industrial control, legacy bus systems, and mixed-voltage logic translation where controlled edge rates and low reflection noise are critical.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 implements dual independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each with separate active-low output-enable controls (OEA and OEB). Its internal 25-Ω series termination at each output reduces transmission-line reflections without external components.
It supports full TTL-level compatibility (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and operates across –40°C to +85°C with VCC = 4.75–5.25 V. The Ioff circuitry ensures <±1 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe back-drive protection during power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 4.1 ns max (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables timing-critical bus driving up to ~100 MHz system clock domains. |
| Output drive | –15 mA source / +12 mA sink per pin - sufficient to directly drive 50-Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 TTL loads. |
| Output impedance | 20–40 Ω (ROUT at IOL = 12 mA) - matches PCB trace impedance to suppress ringing in high-speed routing. |
| Ioff current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, VOUT = 4.5 V - prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-insertion or partial power-down. |
| ESD rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
| Supply voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - tightly regulated 5-V operation compatible with legacy TTL and mixed-signal systems. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin SOIC (SO) with standard JEDEC MS-013AC outline, body width 7.5 mm, pitch 1.27 mm. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data inputs DA0–DA3, DB0–DB3 | Noninverting TTL-compatible inputs accepting 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds; drive internal buffer stages. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | Outputs OA0–OA3, OB0–OB3 | 3-state buffered outputs with integrated 25-Ω series resistor; high-Z when OE asserted. |
| 18 | VCC | 5-V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 19 | OEB | Active-low output-enable control for OB0–OB3 group; asserts high-impedance state when high. |
| 20 | OEA | Active-low output-enable control for OA0–OA3 group; independent enable allows split-bus control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 25-Ω output series resistors | Eliminates need for eight discrete SMT resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area while minimizing stub-induced reflections. |
| Edge-rate control circuitry | Slows output transitions relative to standard FCT logic, lowering di/dt and suppressing simultaneous switching noise (SSN). |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Enables safe insertion into live backplanes or hot-swap subsystems by blocking reverse current when VCC is off. |
| TTL-input/output level compatibility | Direct interface with 74LS, 74ALS, and microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting or pull-up resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT2240CTSO | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, TI second-source part with identical marking 'FCT2240C' and SOIC-20 package. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in legacy designs with same qualification and thermal profile. | Select when sourcing from alternate TI distribution channels or requiring identical TI branding without E4 suffix. |
| 74ACT240SCX | Higher drive (±24 mA), faster (3.5 ns), but no integrated 25-Ω resistors or Ioff; CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.5 V). | Requires external series resistors for reflection control; unsuitable for partial-power-down or 3.3-V input interfacing. | Choose only if higher speed and drive outweigh need for built-in termination and Ioff protection. |
Compared with SN74FCT2240CTSO and 74ACT240SCX, the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 uniquely combines on-die termination, Ioff safety, and TTL-level compatibility in a single SOIC-20 package-making it optimal for noise-sensitive industrial bus and memory interfaces where layout simplicity and power sequencing robustness are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4?
The CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, as it is a combinational buffer-not a clocked device. However, its 4.1 ns propagation delay and 25-Ω output series resistance support clean signal integrity on PCB traces up to approximately 100 MHz fundamental frequencies in well-terminated systems. System-level timing margins depend on load capacitance, trace length, and termination scheme.
Does the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes, the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 supports hot-swap applications via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, leakage current remains below ±1 µA even with up to 4.5 V applied to outputs. This prevents damaging back-current flow during insertion into powered backplanes or mixed-power-rail systems-making CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 suitable for modular industrial I/O cards and field-replaceable units.
Can the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 drive 50-Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes-the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 integrates 25-Ω series resistors at each output, enabling direct drive of 50-Ω PCB traces or coaxial cables when paired with a 50-Ω load at the far end. This eliminates external series resistors and reduces signal reflections, making CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 ideal for compact, high-density bus and clock distribution layouts.
What is the meaning of the 'E4' suffix in CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4?
The 'E4' suffix in CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant per TI's ordering nomenclature: it indicates the device is supplied in a 2500-unit reel with SSOP-20 (DBQ) footprint, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, and MSL Level-2 moisture sensitivity rating. The core silicon and electrical behavior are identical to CY74FCT2240CTSOC and CY74FCT2240CTSOCT variants.
How does the CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 differ from the standard CY74FCT2240T?
The CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 is the commercial-grade (–40°C to +85°C), SOIC-packaged, 4.1 ns speed grade variant of the CY74FCT2240T family. It replaces the generic 'T' suffix with 'C' (indicating FCT-advanced speed), 'T' (tape-and-reel), 'SOC' (SOIC), and 'E4' (specific reel configuration). Electrically and functionally, CY74FCT2240CTSOCE4 matches the CY74FCT2240CTSOCT datasheet-confirming identical timing, drive strength, and Ioff performance.
