Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2244TQCT from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver with on-chip 25-Ω series output resistors, 6.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, ±15 mA output drive, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation. It serves as a memory address driver, clock driver, or bus transceiver in TTL/CMOS/NMOS mixed-signal systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2244TQCT datasheet, CY74FCT2244TQCT pinout, CY74FCT2244TQCT application, or CY74FCT2244TQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus interface capability, integrated 25-Ω termination, TTL-compatible input/output levels, and Ioff-enabled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
This device implements dual independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each controlled by separate 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB). Its edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to suppress transmission-line reflections without external components.
The integrated 25-Ω series output resistors are matched across all eight outputs and operate within the specified 4.75–5.25 V supply range. Ioff functionality ensures high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during hot insertion or partial power-down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 6.5 ns max at VCC = 4.75 V - enables reliable 150+ MHz bus operation with margin |
| Output Drive | 15 mA source / 12 mA sink - drives standard TTL loads without external buffers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - compatible with regulated 5 V logic rails and rejects ±5% supply variation |
| Input Logic Compatibility | TTL-level VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - interfaces directly with legacy TTL, NMOS, and CMOS without level shifters |
| On-Chip Termination | 25 Ω ±20% series resistor per output - eliminates need for discrete 22–33 Ω SMT resistors, reducing BOM count and board area |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, VOUT = 4.5 V - prevents damaging backfeed during power sequencing in multi-voltage systems |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust handling in manufacturing and field use |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT244NSR | Same FCT family, SOIC-20 package, 6.5 ns speed grade, but lacks integrated 25-Ω resistors | Requires external series termination resistors for reflection control | Select when board layout allows discrete termination or cost sensitivity outweighs BOM simplification |
| 74ACT244SCX | ACT family, 5 V operation, 8.5 ns typical delay, no Ioff, higher ICC (4 mA typical) | No partial-power-down support; unsuitable for hot-swap or multi-rail sequencing | Select only in fixed-power, single-rail systems where Ioff is not required and timing margin permits slower propagation |
Compared with SN74FCT244NSR and 74ACT244SCX, CY74FCT2244TQCT uniquely combines on-die 25-Ω termination, Ioff, and 6.5 ns performance-reducing layout risk in high-speed bus designs while enabling safe power sequencing in complex embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT2244TQCT?
CY74FCT2244TQCT is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range supports deployment in factory automation controllers, motor drives, and outdoor communication equipment where thermal stability is critical. The device maintains full electrical specifications-including 6.5 ns propagation delay and 15 mA drive-across this entire range.
Does CY74FCT2244TQCT require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its enable inputs?
No, CY74FCT2244TQCT does not require external biasing on OEA or OEB. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined VIH (≥2.0 V) and VIL (≤0.8 V) thresholds, and internal design ensures predictable behavior when tied directly to VCC (for disable) or GND (for enable). External resistors are unnecessary unless used for specific noise filtering in high-EMI environments.
How does the 25-Ω on-chip series resistor in CY74FCT2244TQCT improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω on-chip series resistor in CY74FCT2244TQCT matches typical PCB trace impedances (40–70 Ω) in source-series termination configurations. By placing resistance near the driver output, it damps reflections caused by impedance discontinuities at connectors or stubs-reducing overshoot, undershoot, and ringing without adding discrete components or consuming board space.
Can CY74FCT2244TQCT be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No, CY74FCT2244TQCT is specified only for 4.75–5.25 V operation. Its internal circuitry, including TTL-compatible input thresholds and 25-Ω resistor calibration, relies on nominal 5 V supply. Using 3.3 V will result in undefined logic levels, degraded noise margins, and failure to meet propagation delay or drive strength specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's LVC or AUC families instead.
What is the purpose of the Ioff feature in CY74FCT2244TQCT, and how is it verified?
The Ioff feature in CY74FCT2244TQCT disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±1 µA even if driven signals are present on I/O pins. This is verified per datasheet test condition (VCC = 0 V, VOUT = 4.5 V) and enables safe hot-plug operation and multi-rail power sequencing-critical in modular systems where boards may be inserted while host power remains active.
