Product details
Overview
CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal noninverting 3-state buffer/line driver IC used for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus transceiver applications. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 4.3-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and TTL-compatible input/output logic levels.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 datasheet, CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 pinout, CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 application, or CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 equivalent, key selection considerations include 3-state bus isolation capability, industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), SOIC-20 package compatibility, and FCT-family functional equivalence with edge-rate control for noise reduction.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 implements dual independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated 3-state enable (OEA/OEB). Its output stage uses bipolar-FET hybrid (BiCMOS) technology to deliver TTL-compatible voltage levels while maintaining CMOS-like low power consumption.
Edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to suppress simultaneous switching noise; Ioff protection disables outputs and limits reverse current during partial power-down; matched rise/fall times ensure clean signal integrity in high-speed bus environments.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Bus Transceiver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving multiplexed address lines between microcontroller and SRAM/Flash in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer isolating MCU address bus from memory load; 3-state enables allow shared bus arbitration. Use Value: 64-mA sink drive maintains signal integrity across 100+ pF trace capacitance; 4.3-ns delay preserves setup/hold timing margins. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data buffering between FPGA and legacy parallel peripheral (e.g., ADC/DAC or display controller). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 4-bit bus driver with independent OEA/OEB controls enabling direction-selectable data flow. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/O eliminates level translators; Ioff prevents backfeed during FPGA configuration reset. |
| Clock Distribution Network | Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of system clock to multiple synchronous peripherals (e.g., UARTs, timers) in factory automation hardware. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, noninverting clock driver with matched tPLH/tPHL ensuring deterministic phase alignment. Use Value: Matched rise/fall times (<1 ns skew) prevent duty-cycle degradation; edge-rate control suppresses EMI in dense mixed-signal layouts. |
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning and isolation of digital control lines (e.g., trigger, gate, sync) in automated test equipment racks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state-enabled buffer providing on-demand signal routing and fault containment. Use Value: 2000-V HBM ESD rating withstands repeated probe contact; industrial temp range ensures reliability in uncontrolled lab environments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT240CTSO | Same FCT family, identical pinout and AC/DC specs; TI rebranded part number with identical DW package and marking "FCT240C" | No functional difference - direct second-source for supply chain diversification | Select when requiring TI-authorized alternate sourcing without design change |
| 74ACT240SCX | Higher VCC range (4.5–5.5 V); 12-mA source / 24-mA sink; no Ioff; 7.5-ns max delay | Lacks partial-power-down support; less drive strength; unsuitable for hot-swap or mixed-rail systems | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-industrial designs where Ioff and 64-mA sink are not required |
Compared with SN74FCT240CTSO, CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 offers identical functionality and footprint but differs in packaging suffix (E4 denotes tape-and-reel per TI's legacy ordering code); versus 74ACT240SCX, it delivers superior drive, noise control, and power-down safety at the cost of slightly higher static current.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT240CTSOCE4?
CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 58°C/W for SOIC package), making it suitable for enclosed industrial enclosures without forced airflow.
Does CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 support partial power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs and limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This feature enables safe use in hot-swap backplanes and mixed-voltage systems where other rails remain active while the 5-V domain is powered down.
What is the output drive capability of CY74FCT240CTSOCE4?
CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 provides 64-mA sink current and 32-mA source current per output under typical conditions (VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V). This drive strength allows reliable interfacing with heavily loaded buses, including legacy TTL loads and long PCB traces up to 100 pF.
Is CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 pin-compatible with older FCT-series buffers?
Yes, CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 is functionally and pinout-compatible with CY74FCT240T, CY74FCT240AT, and CY74FCT240CT variants in the same SOIC-20 package. All share identical pin assignments, logic diagram, and DC/AC specifications - only speed grade and drive strength differ across the family.
What package type and dimensions does CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 use?
CY74FCT240CTSOCE4 uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.65 mm max height. It complies with JEDEC MS-013, features NiPdAu lead finish, and carries a Level-1 MSL rating - allowing unlimited floor life and reflow at 260°C peak without dry-pack requirements.
