Product details
Overview
CY74FCT244DTSOC from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state buffer/line driver IC used for memory address driving, clock distribution, and bus transceiver applications in TTL- and CMOS-compatible systems. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 3.6-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and edge-rate control for noise reduction.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT244DTSOC datasheet, CY74FCT244DTSOC pinout, CY74FCT244DTSOC application, or CY74FCT244DTSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include SOIC-20 package compatibility, 4.75–5.25 V supply operation, 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 4.8 ns), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) suitability.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 4-bit noninverting buffers with independent 3-state outputs controlled by OEA and OEB inputs. Each buffer pair (e.g., DA0→OA0, DB0→OB0) operates with matched rise/fall times and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V).
The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ±1 µA, and edge-rate control reduces simultaneous switching noise without external components. It is functionally and pinout-compatible with standard FCT logic families.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT244DWR | Same SOIC-20 package, identical pinout, 3.6-ns propagation delay, but rated for 0°C to 70°C only | Limited to commercial temperature range; unsuitable for industrial environments requiring –40°C operation | Select CY74FCT244DTSOC when extended temperature range and Ioff protection are mandatory |
| 74ACT244SCX | Higher VOH (≥4.4 V), lower ICC, but no Ioff support and 5.5-V absolute max VCC vs. 7 V for CY74FCT244DTSOC | Lacks partial-power-down capability; not suitable for hot-swap or mixed-voltage domain isolation | Choose CY74FCT244DTSOC where system-level power sequencing or backfeed prevention is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT244DTSOC?
CY74FCT244DTSOC is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range is validated per TI's production test flow and supports deployment in programmable logic controllers, motor drives, and outdoor communications equipment where thermal cycling is expected. The SOIC-20 package exhibits 58°C/W θJA, enabling reliable thermal dissipation under full-load conditions.
Does CY74FCT244DTSOC support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT244DTSOC integrates Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ±1 µA. This feature is explicitly verified in the datasheet's electrical characteristics table and enables safe use in hot-plug systems, modular backplanes, and multi-rail power architectures where individual sections may be powered down independently while others remain active.
What is the propagation delay specification for CY74FCT244DTSOC?
CY74FCT244DTSOC has a maximum propagation delay of 3.6 ns (tPLH and tPHL) under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value is measured from input transition (50% point) to output transition (50% point) with CL = 50 pF, and guarantees deterministic timing for high-speed address or data bus buffering in real-time control systems.
Can CY74FCT244DTSOC drive TTL loads directly?
Yes, CY74FCT244DTSOC is fully compatible with TTL input and output logic levels. Its VOH (min 2.4 V at –32 mA) and VOL (max 0.55 V at 64 mA) meet or exceed standard TTL specifications, and its VIH (2 V) and VIL (0.8 V) thresholds ensure reliable recognition of TTL outputs. No external level-shifting components are needed when interfacing with legacy 74LS or 74ALS devices.
Is CY74FCT244DTSOC pin-compatible with other FCT-family octal buffers?
Yes, CY74FCT244DTSOC is functionally and pinout-compatible with CY74FCT244T, CY74FCT244AT, and CY74FCT244CT variants in the same SOIC-20 package. All share identical pin assignments, logic diagram, and DC/AC specifications except for propagation delay grading (3.6 ns for 'D', 4.1 ns for 'C', 4.6 ns for 'A'). This allows drop-in replacement within the same speed grade and package footprint.
