74F244SJX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74F244SJX is an octal buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs, belonging to the F/FAST logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device provides high-speed performance with a maximum propagation delay of 10.5ns at 5V with a 50pF load. It utilizes a 14-pin Small Outline Package (SOP) for surface-mount applications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent non-inverting buffers
• Three-state output capability allowing bus-oriented connections
• High-speed switching characteristics typical of the F/FAST series

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SJX against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Cross-reference the ordering information with official Fairchild or onsemi documentation to validate availability and revision status before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed buffering is required for 5V logic systems. The F/FAST series offers superior speed compared to standard TTL while maintaining compatible input/output levels. Consider the SOP-14 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during the design phase.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F244 family of octal buffers with three-state outputs. It is functionally similar to other manufacturers' 74F244 variants but may differ in specific electrical parameters. The SJX suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.
