74F827SCX

Overview

The 74F827SCX is a high-speed, low-power octal bus driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It belongs to the F/FAST logic series and features eight non-inverting buffers with three-state outputs. The device is designed for bus-oriented applications requiring fast switching speeds and low power consumption. It operates within a standard voltage range typical for TTL-compatible logic families and utilizes a 20-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting buffer channels for data transmission
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate bus-oriented system architectures
• Engineered for high-speed operation with low power dissipation characteristics

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and instrument control systems
• High-speed data buffering in digital communication interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring fast signal propagation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SCX' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and packaging details. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by your assembly standards. Cross-reference the ordering number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal, non-inverting buffer with three-state capability is required for high-speed digital designs. It serves as a suitable alternative to other F-series drivers where low power and fast switching are critical. Consider the SOIC-20 package constraints and thermal performance during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This part is part of the 74F series, known for speed-performance optimization in CMOS technology. It complements other members like the 74F374 flip-flop by providing pure buffering without storage functions. The SCX designation typically indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 74F827SC or equivalent parts from other manufacturers adhering to the same logical function and pinout. Verify electrical parameters such as propagation delay and output drive strength to ensure compatibility with existing circuit loads.
