74LCX2244MTC

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX2244MTC is a low-voltage CMOS octal buffer and line driver featuring non-inverting logic with three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and is housed in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). The device integrates eight independent buffers, providing high-speed signal transmission capabilities suitable for bus-oriented architectures.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight non-inverting buffer channels for signal conditioning
• Features three-state outputs to facilitate bus-driven designs
• Operates at low supply voltages for energy-efficient applications

Applications

• Memory address drivers
• Clock signal distribution
• Bus-oriented system interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as Fairchild Semiconductor has been integrated into onsemi. Confirm the specific package variant matches the 20-TSSOP form factor. Ensure the operating voltage requirements align with the 2V to 3.55V specification range before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal buffer with three-state control is required for low-voltage digital systems. It serves as a direct functional replacement for similar LCX series devices. Verify that the load capacitance and drive current requirements are met by the device specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It shares architectural similarities with the 74LCX244 but differs in output configuration and pinout compatibility. The MTC suffix denotes the specific 20-lead TSSOP packaging used for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

The 74LCX244MTC is a related device within the same family. Verify if the three-state output requirement is compatible with the application design before substituting.
