Product details
Overview
CY74FCT240TSOC from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver IC used for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus transceiver applications. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, delivers 64 mA sink / 32 mA source output drive, features Ioff partial-power-down protection, and achieves 8 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT240TSOC datasheet, CY74FCT240TSOC pinout, CY74FCT240TSOC application, or CY74FCT240TSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input/output levels, SOIC-20 package thermal performance (θJA = 58°C/W), edge-rate controlled noise immunity, and verified 3-state bus isolation behavior under partial power-down conditions.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT240TSOC implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB), supporting bidirectional bus interface via separate A- and B-side inputs/outputs. Its FCT-family architecture provides TTL-level compatibility while reducing power versus bipolar equivalents.
Edge-rate control circuitry limits dV/dt on outputs to suppress switching noise; Ioff logic disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent backflow current during system power sequencing. Matched rise/fall times ensure clean signal integrity in high-speed digital buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - Ensures stable operation with standard 5 V rail tolerances and avoids overvoltage stress. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 8 ns - Enables reliable timing in 125 MHz bus systems with margin for trace skew and loading. |
| Output Sink/Source | 64 mA / 32 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >10 TTL inputs) without external buffering. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging backfeed current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and field operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for commercial/industrial embedded systems including automotive body control modules. |
| Package Thermal θJA | 58°C/W (SOIC) - Supports continuous 100 mW dissipation at 70°C ambient without forced airflow. |
Pinout & Package
CY74FCT240TSOC is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm footprint, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA, OEB | Active-low 3-state enables for A- and B-side outputs; both must be low for output drivers to activate. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17 | DA0–DA3, DB0–DB3 | Input terminals for A- and B-side data channels; TTL/CMOS compatible with 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 | OA0–OA3, OB0–OB3 | Noninverting buffered outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high. |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and output stages; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 20 | VCC | 5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate control | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting output slew rate without compromising 8 ns speed. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Enables safe insertion/removal in live backplanes by disabling outputs and blocking reverse current at VCC = 0 V. |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V input thresholds and drives 0.55 V/3.3 V output levels - interoperable with legacy 5 V logic families. |
| Matched tr/tf | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges, minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock fanout applications. |
| 3-state bus isolation | Independent OEA/OEB controls allow selective activation of A- or B-side drivers for half-duplex bus arbitration. |
Applications
| Memory Address Drivers | Clock Distribution |
|---|---|
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT240NSR | Same SOIC-20 package, identical pinout, but rated for 4.5–5.5 V supply and 48 mA/12 mA drive (CY54FCT240T spec). | Limited to lower-drive applications; unsuitable where 64 mA sink is required for long traces or heavy fanout. | Select only if system VCC tolerance exceeds ±5% or drive demand is ≤48 mA per output. |
| 74ACT240SCX | ACT-family device; higher ICC (1.4 mA typical), no Ioff, and 10 ns max delay - lacks partial-power-down safety. | Not suitable for hot-plug or mixed-voltage power domains; requires external isolation during power sequencing. | Prefer CY74FCT240TSOC where Ioff or industrial temperature range is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74FCT240NSR and 74ACT240SCX, CY74FCT240TSOC uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, Ioff-enabled safe power sequencing, and 64 mA drive in a standard SOIC-20 - making it optimal for bus-critical embedded systems requiring reliability under voltage transients and thermal stress.
