74FST3244PY

Overview

The IDT 74FST3244PY is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Integrated Device Technology. It utilizes FST (Fast Switching Transistor) technology to provide high-speed signal buffering with low propagation delay. The device operates on a single 5V power supply and features eight non-inverting outputs. It is housed in a 20-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting, suitable for applications requiring robust signal integrity and fast switching performance in digital logic systems.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent non-inverting buffer channels
• FST technology implementation for high-speed switching capabilities
• Single 5V power supply operation for standard logic compatibility
• Through-hole PDIP-20 packaging for reliable board integration

Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering
• Clock signal distribution
• Digital logic interface isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PY' against manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package variant and temperature range. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your project specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official datasheets to confirm availability status and any potential obsolescence notices prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with high-speed performance is required within a 5V logic system. The PDIP-20 package is appropriate for prototyping or applications where through-hole mounting is preferred over surface mount technology. Consider the FST technology benefits for reduced propagation delays compared to standard CMOS buffers in high-frequency digital designs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 74FST series of logic devices from IDT, which are designed for high-performance digital applications. The series combines the speed of bipolar transistors with the ease of use of CMOS technology. This specific model serves as a buffer, enhancing signal drive capability while maintaining signal integrity across multiple channels in complex digital circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official IDT documentation for verified cross-references. Generic equivalents may exist but require careful verification of electrical characteristics and pinout compatibility.
