Product details
Overview
CY74FCT244ATSOCT from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver IC used for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus transceiver applications in industrial and embedded systems. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 4.6 ns max propagation delay, Ioff partial-power-down support, TTL-compatible input/output levels, and SOIC-20 package.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT244ATSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT244ATSOCT pinout, CY74FCT244ATSOCT application, or CY74FCT244ATSOCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus isolation capability, -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, 5-V supply compatibility, and SOIC-20 footprint suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB), enabling selective activation of two 4-bit data paths. Each output supports high-impedance state when its respective enable is deasserted, allowing bidirectional bus sharing without external logic.
It uses FCT logic technology with edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, matched rise/fall times (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.6 ns), and Ioff protection that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current-critical for hot-swap and multi-rail system designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances in industrial environments. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 4.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - Enables reliable timing in high-speed address/data buses up to ~217 MHz system clock domains. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or long traces without external buffering. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current flow during partial power-down sequences. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade reliability in extended ambient conditions. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Fully compatible with TTL, NMOS, and CMOS logic families without level-shifting components. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - Meets JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115/C101 for robust handling in manufacturing and field use. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA / OEB | Active-low 3-state enable inputs controlling Group A (pins 2–9) and Group B (pins 18–11) independently. |
| 2–5, 18–15 | DA0–DA3 / DB0–DB3 | Noninverting data inputs for each 4-bit group; direct connection to upstream logic sources. |
| 3–6, 17–14 | OA0–OA3 / OB0–OB3 | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance when OEA/OEB = HIGH, otherwise pass-through of corresponding D inputs. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 20 | VCC | 5-V power supply input; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit enables | OEA and OEB allow selective activation of two isolated data paths on a shared bus, reducing external gating logic. |
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Controlled slew rate minimizes simultaneous switching noise (SSN), easing EMI compliance in mixed-signal boards. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe insertion/removal in live-backplane systems. |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct connection to legacy TTL, NMOS, and CMOS without pull-ups, level shifters, or voltage translators. |
| Matched tPLH/tPHL | ≤ 0.5 ns skew between rising/falling edges ensures clean signal integrity for clock and strobe distribution. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Industrial Bus Transceiver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving address lines from a microcontroller to multiple SRAM or flash devices on a shared memory bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noninverting buffer with 3-state outputs isolates unselected memory chips and prevents bus contention. Use Value: 64-mA sink drive ensures full logic swing across 10+ cm PCB traces; 4.6 ns delay preserves setup/hold margins at 20-MHz bus rates. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional data transfer between a PLC CPU and modular I/O expansion cards via parallel backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled line driver/receiver enabling half-duplex communication over shared 8-bit data lines. Use Value: Independent OEA/OEB pins allow precise timing control of data direction transitions; Ioff prevents backfeed during card hot-swap. |
| Clock Distribution | Legacy System Interface |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of a master system clock to multiple peripheral controllers (UARTs, timers, ADCs) with matched skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, noninverting clock buffer with 3-state disable for dynamic clock gating. Use Value: Matched rise/fall times (<0.5 ns skew) and 4.6 ns max delay maintain <1% duty-cycle distortion at 100-MHz clock frequencies. | Use Scenario: Interfacing modern FPGA-based controllers to legacy 5-V TTL peripherals (displays, sensors, relays). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level translator and drive booster ensuring full-voltage compliance with older 5-V standards. Use Value: VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V / 0.8 V) and 32-mA source capability guarantee reliable recognition and driving of TTL inputs under worst-case loading. |
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 FCT family, identical electrical specs, but TSSOP-20 package (4.4 mm × 6.5 mm); 0.65 mm pitch. | Better suited for space-constrained layouts; thermal resistance θJA = 70°C/W vs. SOIC's 58°C/W. | Select when board area is limited and reflow profile supports fine-pitch TSSOP. |
| 74AC244N | AC logic family: higher speed (tPD ≈ 3.5 ns), but lower drive (24 mA sink), no Ioff, and narrower VCC range (2–6 V). | Lacks partial-power-down protection; unsuitable for hot-swap or multi-rail systems requiring Ioff. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail 5-V designs where Ioff is not required and layout allows tighter timing margins. |
Compared with SN74FCT244ATPWR and 74AC244N, CY74FCT244ATSOCT offers optimal balance of industrial temperature rating, robust Ioff protection, SOIC-20 manufacturability, and proven noise immunity-making it preferred for mission-critical embedded bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT244ATSOCT?
CY74FCT244ATSOCT is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 58°C/W for SOIC-20), making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors and outdoor control cabinets where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does CY74FCT244ATSOCT support partial-power-down functionality?
Yes, CY74FCT244ATSOCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting Ioff current to ±1 µA. This feature prevents damaging current backflow during hot-swap events or staged power sequencing in multi-rail systems-directly supporting partial-power-down compliance per JEDEC JESD78 guidelines.
What is the propagation delay specification for CY74FCT244ATSOCT?
CY74FCT244ATSOCT has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 4.6 ns under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C, CL = 50 pF). This value is measured from input transition to valid output transition and ensures timing closure in 20-MHz address/data buses with adequate setup/hold margin.
Can CY74FCT244ATSOCT drive TTL loads directly?
Yes, CY74FCT244ATSOCT is fully TTL-compatible: its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) match standard TTL, and its 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive exceeds the 16-mA sink requirement of standard TTL loads. No external pull-ups or level shifters are needed for direct interface with 74LS, 74ALS, or other TTL-series devices.
What package type is used for CY74FCT244ATSOCT?
CY74FCT244ATSOCT uses the SOIC-20 (DW) package: 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). This industry-standard package supports automated assembly and is widely supported by PCB design libraries.
