Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver with on-chip 25-Ω series output resistors, TTL-compatible input/output levels, 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 high-speed digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 application, or CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus interface capability, integrated termination for reflection suppression, Ioff-enabled system-level power sequencing, and SOIC-20 compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
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 reduce EMI and transmission-line ringing without external components.
The 25-Ω on-die series resistors at all eight outputs match standard PCB trace impedances, eliminating discrete termination and reducing board space. Ioff functionality ensures high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-drive current during partial power-down sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 6.5 ns max (tPLH/tPHL), enabling reliable operation in 150+ MHz bus systems |
| Output Drive | 12 mA sink / 15 mA source, sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines and TTL/NMOS loads |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V, compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of rail droop |
| Input Logic Levels | TTL-compatible: VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interfaces directly with legacy 5-V logic |
| Output Termination | 25 Ω ±20% on-chip series resistor per output - eliminates need for external termination resistors |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-insertion or partial power-down |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 requirements for industrial environments |

Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Backplane Bus Transceiver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or Flash devices on a shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting 3-state buffer providing isolation, fanout, and impedance-matched signal integrity. Use Value: Integrated 25-Ω resistors suppress reflections on long traces, maintaining setup/hold timing margins at >100 MHz. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data routing between CPU and peripheral modules across a 20-pin parallel backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel line driver/receiver enabling time-multiplexed bus arbitration via OEA/OEB controls. Use Value: Independent enables allow precise control of direction and timing, eliminating bus contention during handshaking. |
| Clock Distribution | Legacy System Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Distributing a system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs, FPGAs) with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, low-jitter buffer replicating and driving clock signals with controlled edge rates. Use Value: Edge-rate control reduces harmonic content, lowering radiated emissions and improving jitter performance in mixed-signal systems. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers with legacy TTL-based instrumentation or industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level translator and drive booster ensuring full voltage swing and noise margin compliance. Use Value: TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds and 15-mA sourcing eliminate need for external pull-ups or level shifters. |
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 SOIC-20 package, identical pinout, but rated for 4.6 ns max tPD (FCT2244A speed grade) | Higher-speed requirement in timing-critical bus arbitration or clock distribution | Select when propagation delay ≤4.6 ns is required; otherwise CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 offers better noise immunity at lower cost |
| 74ACT244SCX | ACT-family CMOS device: higher ICC (2–4 mA static), no on-chip 25-Ω resistors, 5.5 V absolute max VCC | Systems requiring wider supply tolerance or lower static power than FCT family allows | Choose only if 5.5-V operation or ACT logic family compatibility is mandatory; lacks integrated termination and Ioff |
Compared with SN74FCT2244NSR, CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 trades 2.1 ns of speed for superior noise suppression via on-die termination and stronger Ioff protection. Against 74ACT244SCX, it delivers deterministic 25-Ω matching and guaranteed 5-V-only operation ideal for industrial backplanes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4?
CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range supports deployment in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor communications equipment where thermal stability is critical. The SOIC-20 package has a θJA of 58°C/W, enabling reliable thermal performance under typical PCB copper pour conditions.
Does CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting off-state current to ±1 µA. This feature prevents damaging back-current flow when the device is powered down while other system components remain active - essential for hot-pluggable modules and multi-rail power architectures.
How does the 25-Ω on-chip resistor in CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω series resistor integrated into each output of CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 matches typical PCB trace impedances (50–75 Ω in parallel configurations), dampening signal reflections and standing waves. This eliminates discrete termination components, reduces layout complexity, and maintains clean edges on fast-switching buses - especially beneficial for memory address and clock lines longer than 2 inches.
Is CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 pin-compatible with older 74F244 or 74LS244 devices?
No - CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 is functionally and pin-compatible with other FCT-family octal buffers (e.g., CY74FCT2244T variants), not with bipolar 74F or 74LS logic. While pin count and SOIC-20 footprint match, electrical characteristics differ: CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 uses CMOS input structure, has lower ICC, and includes Ioff and on-die termination absent in 74F/74LS parts.
What are the recommended decoupling practices for CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4?
Place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (Pin 19) and GND (Pin 9) as close as possible to the SOIC-20 package. For systems with multiple CY74FCT2244TSOCTE4 devices or high-frequency switching, add a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point. Avoid shared vias between decoupling caps and ground planes to maintain low-inductance return paths.
