Product details
Overview
CY74FCT244ATSOC from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver in SOIC-20 package, designed for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus transceiver applications. It delivers 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 4.6 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), operates from –40°C to +85°C, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT244ATSOC datasheet, CY74FCT244ATSOC pinout, CY74FCT244ATSOC application, or CY74FCT244ATSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input/output levels, edge-rate controlled noise performance, Ioff-enabled power-down isolation, and SOIC-20 footprint compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB), each gating four outputs (OA0–OA3 and OB0–OB3). Its CMOS input structure interfaces directly with TTL, NMOS, and CMOS logic without level-shifting components.
The internal edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to reduce simultaneous switching noise, while the Ioff feature disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial system power-down - a critical requirement in hot-swap and mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation within industrial-grade 5-V supply tolerance. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 4.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - Enables high-speed bus buffering up to ~217 MHz data rate in clean load conditions. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down, protecting powered sections from backfeed. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets robustness requirements for manufacturing handling and board-level reliability. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Direct interface with legacy 5-V TTL without pull-ups or level translators. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including motor control, PLCs, and telecom infrastructure. |

| 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 17, 19 | Output (OA0–OA3, OB0–OB3) | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance when respective OE is high. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains. |
| 20 | VCC | 5-V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| 11 | OEA | Active-low enable for OA0–OA3 outputs; asserts low to enable channel A. |
| 19 | OEB | Active-low enable for OB0–OB3 outputs; asserts low to enable channel B. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dV/dt - critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging current flow between powered and unpowered system sections during hot insertion or staged boot. |
| Matched rise/fall times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges, minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution paths. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Eliminates need for external biasing or level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5-V logic families. |
| 3.3-V typical VOH | Provides margin for downstream 3.3-V CMOS inputs while maintaining full 5-V noise immunity on the same bus. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Bus Transceiver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 20-bit address bus from microcontroller to SRAM or Flash memory in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer with dual-enable control isolates CPU from memory loading; 4.6 ns delay ensures setup/hold timing compliance at 20-MHz bus speeds. Use Value: Eliminates address skew across parallel lines and sustains signal integrity over 10-cm traces on 4-layer industrial PCBs. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data transfer between FPGA and legacy ISA-style peripheral cards in test equipment racks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel 3-state line driver/receiver manages direction control via OEA/OEB; Ioff prevents backfeed when card is hot-swapped. Use Value: Enables plug-and-play expansion without system reset; edge-rate control suppresses crosstalk in shared backplane stubs. |
| Clock Distribution Network | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of 5-MHz system clock to eight synchronous ADCs in data acquisition modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew buffer replicates clock with matched tPLH/tPHL; 3.3-V VOH meets ADC input threshold while preserving 5-V noise margin. Use Value: Maintains <100-ps inter-channel skew across all eight outputs, ensuring sub-ns sampling alignment. |
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning and level translation between 5-V DUT interface and 3.3-V controller in boundary-scan test fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as voltage-tolerant bus isolator; TTL-compatible inputs accept open-collector DUT signals; 3-state outputs prevent contention during test vector changes. Use Value: Reduces fixture design complexity by eliminating discrete pull-up networks and enabling dynamic bus reconfiguration. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT244ATPWR | Same SOIC-20 package, identical electrical specs, but TI's newer marking and tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel vs. 25 pcs/tube). | No functional difference; optimized for automated SMT assembly rather than manual prototyping. | Select SN74FCT244ATPWR for high-volume production; CY74FCT244ATSOC remains preferred for low-quantity evaluation or repair. |
| 74ACT244SCX | Higher drive (24 mA source / 24 mA sink), slower speed (10 ns max delay), no Ioff or edge-rate control. | Lacks partial-power-down capability and noise mitigation - unsuitable for hot-swap or high-density routing. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs noise and power-down requirements; verify layout margins for SSN. |
Compared with SN74FCT244ATPWR and 74ACT244SCX, CY74FCT244ATSOC provides superior noise immunity via edge-rate control and guaranteed Ioff isolation - essential for industrial systems requiring field-replaceable modules and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT244ATSOC?
CY74FCT244ATSOC is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade thermal specification ensures reliable performance in programmable logic controllers, motor drives, and outdoor telecom enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. The SOIC-20 package's 58°C/W θJA enables adequate thermal dissipation under typical 10-mA average load conditions.
Does CY74FCT244ATSOC support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT244ATSOC supports partial-power-down mode via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the outputs enter high-impedance state with leakage current limited to ±1 µA, preventing damaging current backflow from powered system sections into the unpowered IC. This capability is explicitly verified per JESD78 and is critical for hot-swap applications and multi-rail power sequencing.
What is the propagation delay of CY74FCT244ATSOC at 5 V supply?
CY74FCT244ATSOC has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 4.6 ns at VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C, with CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω. This value is measured from input transition (50% point) to output transition (50% point) under standard load conditions defined in TI's SCCS071 datasheet - enabling reliable timing closure in 20-MHz synchronous bus designs.
Can CY74FCT244ATSOC drive TTL loads directly?
Yes, CY74FCT244ATSOC is fully compatible with TTL input and output logic levels. Its VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V thresholds match standard TTL, and its 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive exceeds TTL's 16-mA sink requirement. No external pull-ups or level shifters are needed when interfacing with 74LS, 74ALS, or other 5-V TTL families - simplifying legacy system upgrades.
What package type is used for CY74FCT244ATSOC?
CY74FCT244ATSOC uses the SOIC-20 (DW) package: 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 2.65 mm max height, with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. This surface-mount package is compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak 260°C), supports automated placement, and maintains pinout compatibility with industry-standard 20-pin SOIC footprints used across FCT, LS, and ACT logic families.
