Product details
Overview
CY74FCT240TSOCT 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 features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 8 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and TTL-compatible input/output logic levels.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT240TSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT240TSOCT pinout, CY74FCT240TSOCT application, or CY74FCT240TSOCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus isolation capability, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SOIC-20 package compatibility, and FCT-family functional equivalence with reduced power versus bipolar logic.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT240TSOCT implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB), supporting bidirectional bus interface configurations. Its edge-rate control circuitry limits di/dt to improve noise immunity without external components.
It operates from a single 4.75–5.25 V supply, supports Ioff protection during partial power-down, and maintains valid high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V. Input thresholds meet TTL standards (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), ensuring direct interfacing with legacy TTL, NMOS, and CMOS systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5-V rail tolerances. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) - Enables reliable timing in 125-MHz bus systems with margin. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents backflow current during hot-insertion or partial system power-down. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial and commercial embedded environments. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate control | Controlled output slew limits EMI and reduces ground bounce in dense PCB layouts. |

Applications
| Memory Address Driving | Clock Distribution |
|---|---|
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 buffer with 3-state isolation prevents contention during address decoding cycles. Use Value: 64-mA sink drive ensures clean signal edges across 100+ pF trace capacitance; Ioff protects during CPU reset sequences. | Use Scenario: Distributing a master system clock to multiple peripherals (ADCs, DACs, FPGAs) with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, low-jitter fanout buffer maintaining TTL logic levels and edge integrity. Use Value: Matched rise/fall times (<1 ns delta) and 8 ns max tPLH/tPHL preserve 125-MHz timing margins. |
| Bus Transceiver Interface | Legacy System Glue Logic |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data bus isolation between a 32-bit processor and peripheral ASIC using separate OE controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual 4-bit section enables half-bus direction control (e.g., DA0–DA3 → OA0–OA3 for write, DB0–DB3 ← OB0–OB3 for read). Use Value: Independent OEA/OEB pins allow precise timing of bus turnarounds without added logic gates. | Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers with legacy TTL-based instrumentation subsystems (e.g., GPIB controllers, test equipment). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translation and drive-strengthening buffer eliminating need for discrete resistors or additional drivers. Use Value: Native TTL input thresholds and 32-mA source capability directly drive 74LS-series loads without external pull-ups. |
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 –40°C to +85°C with 64-mA/32-mA drive and 8 ns delay. | No functional difference; TI's second-source marking for CY74FCT240TSOCT in tape-and-reel format. | Select when requiring TI's standard branded part number or alternate logistics packaging. |
| 74AC240SCX | Higher speed (5.5 ns max), lower drive (24 mA sink), wider VCC range (2–6 V), but no Ioff or edge-rate control. | Suitable for low-power, wide-supply designs where partial-power-down is not required. | Choose only if system requires sub-6 ns timing and operates outside 4.75–5.25 V; verify noise immunity and hot-swap safety separately. |
Compared with SN74FCT240NSR, CY74FCT240TSOCT offers identical electrical and mechanical behavior as a direct TI-manufactured variant; versus 74AC240SCX, it trades raw speed for robust industrial bus driving, Ioff protection, and controlled edge rates essential for noise-sensitive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT240TSOCT?
CY74FCT240TSOCT is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and Ioff leakage, and applies to the SOIC-20 (DW) package under recommended PCB layout and thermal conditions.
Does CY74FCT240TSOCT support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT240TSOCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and limits current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe partial-power-down operation. This feature prevents damaging backflow current during hot-swap events or subsystem power sequencing, and is fully characterized per JESD78.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for CY74FCT240TSOCT supply voltage?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for CY74FCT240TSOCT is –0.5 V to 7 V relative to GND. Exceeding this range may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range is strictly 4.75 V to 5.25 V for full parameter compliance, as defined in the SCCS017A datasheet revision October 2001.
Is CY74FCT240TSOCT pin-compatible with CY54FCT240T?
Yes, CY74FCT240TSOCT shares identical pinout, function table, and logic diagram with CY54FCT240T in SOIC-20 packaging. Both devices use the same terminal numbering, enable/control signal mapping, and I/O assignment - confirmed in TI's SCCS017A datasheet Figures 1 and 2 for SO and Q packages.
What is the typical VOH and VOL for CY74FCT240TSOCT at rated load?
At VCC = 4.75 V and IOH = –32 mA, CY74FCT240TSOCT delivers typical VOH = 3.3 V; at IOL = 64 mA, typical VOL = 0.3 V. These values ensure robust noise margins (>0.7 V) against TTL input thresholds and support reliable interfacing with legacy 5-V logic families without external termination.
