Product details
Overview
PI74FCT2244ATQ from Pericom Semiconductor is an octal non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, built-in 25 Ω series output resistors, 3.6 ns max propagation delay (at 25°C, CL = 50 pF), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It functions as a bidirectional bus interface component in high-speed memory and address bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT2244ATQ datasheet, PI74FCT2244ATQ pinout, PI74FCT2244ATQ application, or PI74FCT2244ATQ equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength (64 mA sink), low ground bounce, hysteresis-enabled noise immunity, and TSSOP-20 (Q) package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PI74FCT2244ATQ implements dual 4-bit non-inverting buffers with independent active-low 3-state enable controls (OEA and OEB), supporting simultaneous or staggered bus driving. Each output integrates a 25 Ω series resistor to suppress transmission-line reflections without external termination.
It operates at 5.0 V ±5%, delivers TTL-level VOH ≥2.4 V (IOH = –15 mA) and VOL ≤0.50 V (IOL = 12 mA with 25 Ω series), and features input hysteresis (200 mV) for robust noise rejection in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | Max 3.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF) - enables >200 MHz bus operation with timing margin. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink capability - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 10+ TTL inputs or 50 Ω transmission lines). |
| Input Hysteresis | 200 mV - rejects fast EMI transients on address/control buses without external filtering. |
| Supply Current | Typ 3.0–6.0 mA (8-bit toggle, fI = 2.5 MHz) - balances speed and power in always-on bus interfaces. |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and mixed-voltage system backplanes. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, telecom line cards, and embedded instrumentation. |
| Output Termination | Integrated 25 Ω series resistor per output - eliminates discrete termination resistors and saves PCB area. |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT2244ATQ is housed in a 20-pin plastic TSSOP (150 mil width), designated Q package, with gull-wing leads and 0.65 mm pitch. Pin numbering follows standard JEDEC MS-013AC, with power/ground centrally located for low-inductance decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA, OEB | Active-low 3-state enable inputs - independently control upper and lower 4-bit buffer sections. |
| 2–5, 13–16 | DA0–DA3, OA0–OA3 | Upper 4-bit non-inverting data path - DAx inputs drive corresponding OAx outputs when OEA = L. |
| 6–9, 11–14 | DB0–DB3, OB0–OB3 | Lower 4-bit non-inverting data path - DBx inputs drive corresponding OBx outputs when OEB = L. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane for stable noise performance. |
| 20 | VCC | 5 V power supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 25 Ω series output resistor | Eliminates need for external termination on FR-4 traces up to 10 cm, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Direct interface with 74LS, 74ALS, and microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low ground bounce | Minimizes simultaneous switching noise during multi-bit transitions, preserving signal integrity on shared VCC/GND rails. |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | Provides 200 mV noise margin against EMI-induced glitches on control lines like OEA/OEB in motor-drive environments. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in uncooled industrial enclosures and outdoor base stations. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | System Bus Isolation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address bus between microcontroller and SRAM/Flash in an industrial PLC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with independent OEA/OEB enables selective activation of upper/lower address nibbles during page-mode access. Use Value: 3.6 ns propagation delay ensures setup/hold compliance at 25 MHz bus clock; integrated 25 Ω resistors prevent overshoot on 8 cm PCB traces. |
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU data bus from peripheral expansion slots in a modular test instrument. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus driver with 3-state control allows CPU to read/write peripherals without contention. Use Value: 64 mA sink current supports fan-out to 10+ TTL loads; low ground bounce prevents corruption of adjacent analog measurement channels. |
| Backplane Interface Driver | Legacy Peripheral Bridge |
|
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and driving differential signaling pairs on a 5 V backplane connecting multiple DSP modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed buffer with hysteresis filters noise induced by switching power supplies on shared backplane rails. Use Value: 200 mV input hysteresis rejects 50/60 Hz magnetic coupling; industrial temp rating supports operation in 70°C chassis environments. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern ARM SoC GPIOs to legacy ISA-bus peripherals in medical imaging hardware. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TTL-level translator and bus driver enabling protocol-agnostic data transfer between voltage domains. Use Value: 5 V tolerant inputs accept ISA bus signals directly; 25 Ω series resistors suppress ringing on long ribbon-cable runs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F244N | No integrated 25 Ω output resistors; higher ICCQ (10 mA typical); no input hysteresis. | Requires external termination; less noise-immune in EMI-heavy environments. | Select only if legacy footprint compatibility is mandatory and board-level termination is already implemented. |
| 74LCX244MTCX | 3.3 V only; 5 V tolerant inputs; 5.2 ns max tPD; no built-in series resistors. | Not pin-compatible; requires level-shifter for 5 V bus systems. | Prefer for new 3.3 V designs where lower static power (<1 µA) outweighs termination convenience. |
Compared with SN74F244N and 74LCX244MTCX, PI74FCT2244ATQ uniquely combines 5 V operation, integrated termination, hysteresis, and sub-4 ns speed-making it optimal for retrofitting high-reliability 5 V industrial backplanes without layout rework.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for PI74FCT2244ATQ?
The PI74FCT2244ATQ is rated for 64 mA output sink current (IOL) under DC conditions with 25 Ω series resistance, verified at VOL ≤0.50 V. This enables direct drive of multiple TTL loads or 50 Ω transmission lines without external buffers, and is specified across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) at VCC = 5.0 V ±5%.
Does PI74FCT2244ATQ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OEA/OEB pins?
No external resistors are required on OEA or OEB. These are active-low TTL-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V, and internal input hysteresis (200 mV) ensures clean state transitions even with slow-rising enable signals. Pulling them directly to VCC or GND via MCU GPIOs is sufficient for most applications.
Can PI74FCT2244ATQ operate reliably at 5.5 V supply?
No. The absolute maximum supply voltage is +7.0 V, but the device is characterized and guaranteed only over VCC = 5.0 V ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V). Operation at 5.5 V exceeds the recommended operating condition and may cause increased ICC, timing skew, or accelerated wear-out-especially at elevated temperatures.
How does the integrated 25 Ω series resistor affect signal rise/fall times?
The 25 Ω resistor, combined with typical PCB trace capacitance (~5–10 pF), forms a controlled RC network that damps high-frequency ringing without significantly degrading edge rates. Measured tPLH/tPHL remains ≤3.6 ns (CL = 50 pF), confirming the resistor optimizes signal integrity-not speed reduction-for real-world 5 V bus topologies.
