Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2244TSOC 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, ±15 mA output drive, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It serves as a memory address driver, clock driver, or bus transmitter in TTL/CMOS/NMOS mixed-signal systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2244TSOC datasheet, CY74FCT2244TSOC pinout, CY74FCT2244TSOC application, or CY74FCT2244TSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus isolation capability, integrated 25-Ω termination for reflection suppression, Ioff-enabled power sequencing, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy FCT logic designs.
Technical Context
This device implements dual independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections (A- and B-side), each controlled by separate 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB). Its edge-rate control circuitry shapes output transitions to reduce EMI and overshoot without external components.
The integrated 25-Ω series resistors at each output terminal match typical PCB trace impedances, eliminating discrete termination and reducing board space. Ioff functionality ensures high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 6.5 ns max - enables reliable operation in 150 MHz bus systems with timing margin. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | –15 mA / +12 mA - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads directly. |
| On-Chip Series Resistor | 25 Ω typ - matches common PCB trace impedance to suppress reflections without external components. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backfeed current during hot-insertion or staggered power sequencing. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels without level-shifting. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tightly regulated 5-V operation with immunity to supply ripple up to ±2.5%. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114A, supporting handling in standard assembly environments. |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 20-bit address buses between microcontrollers and SRAM/Flash memory in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 3-state buffer isolating CPU address lines from memory array; enables multi-master arbitration via OEA/OEB control.

Use Scenario: Signal conditioning stage in automated test equipment (ATE) channel cards driving DUT interface cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and bus-isolation buffer between controller ASIC and DUT pins; supports hot-swap calibration routines. Use Value: Ioff protection prevents backfeed into powered-down DUT sections, eliminating need for external blocking diodes or relays. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT2244NSR | Same 6.5 ns speed grade and SOIC-20 package, but lacks integrated 25-Ω resistors and Ioff support. | Requires external series termination resistors; not suitable for partial-power-down systems. | Select only if board-level termination is already implemented and power sequencing is fixed. |
| 74AC244SCX | Higher 8 mA output drive, 10 ns propagation delay, no on-chip termination, and no Ioff. | Lower noise immunity on long traces; incompatible with hot-swap or staggered VCC architectures. | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where EMI and power sequencing are non-critical. |
Compared with SN74FCT2244NSR and 74AC244SCX, CY74FCT2244TSOC delivers unique value through its monolithic 25-Ω termination and Ioff-reducing component count by up to 16 parts and enabling safe operation in dynamically powered systems without redesigning layout or firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY74FCT2244TSOC?
CY74FCT2244TSOC has a 6.5 ns maximum propagation delay, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 150 MHz in well-terminated 50-Ω systems. Actual usable frequency depends on trace length, load capacitance, and termination quality-TI recommends verifying timing margins using the switching characteristics table under worst-case VCC and temperature conditions.
Does CY74FCT2244TSOC require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its enable inputs?
No, CY74FCT2244TSOC does not require external biasing on OEA or OEB. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) allow direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or other logic outputs. TI specifies that unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND-but enable pins are actively driven in normal operation and do not float.
Can CY74FCT2244TSOC be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
CY74FCT2244TSOC is specified only for 4.75 V–5.25 V operation and is not 3.3-V tolerant. Applying 3.3-V inputs may result in marginal VIH/VIL margins and undefined output behavior. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends the SN74LVC244A or similar LVC-family buffers instead of CY74FCT2244TSOC.
How does the 25-Ω on-chip resistor in CY74FCT2244TSOC improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω on-chip resistor in CY74FCT2244TSOC is placed in series with each output driver to match typical PCB trace impedances (50–75 Ω). This reduces signal reflections and standing waves, minimizing overshoot, undershoot, and jitter-especially on traces longer than 5 cm. It eliminates 16 discrete resistors, improving layout density and manufacturing yield.
Is CY74FCT2244TSOC pin-compatible with older 74F244 or 74LS244 devices?
CY74FCT2244TSOC is functionally and pinout-compatible with 74F244 and 74LS244 in SOIC-20 packages, sharing identical pin assignments for inputs, outputs, enables, VCC, and GND. However, it adds Ioff and edge-rate control not present in those legacy parts-so while it fits the same footprint, full benefit requires leveraging its advanced features in system design.
