CD74FCT244SM96E4

Overview

The CD74FCT244SM96E4 is an octal buffer and line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the FCT logic series. It features eight non-inverting input lines and three-state outputs housed in a SOIC-20 package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, with a maximum propagation delay of 4.1 ns at 5 V. It supports high-level output currents of -32 mA and low-level output currents of 64 mA, while maintaining a static current of 200 nA. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides octal buffering and line driving capabilities with non-inverting signal paths.
• Integrates three-state outputs for effective bus management and isolation.
• Utilizes BiCMOS technology to achieve high-speed performance with low power consumption.

Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering in computing systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring precise timing
• Memory interface circuits for data storage devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E4 indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS status against the manufacturer's latest documentation. Confirm the SM96 designation corresponds to the correct SOIC-20 package variant and thermal characteristics. Ensure the part number matches the exact functional specifications required for your circuit design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require octal buffering with three-state control. It is suitable for applications demanding fast propagation delays and robust drive capability. Consider the SOIC-20 package constraints and the 5V operating voltage requirements during schematic capture and layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CD74FCT244 family of octal buffers and line drivers. It shares functional similarities with other FCT series components but is distinguished by its specific package marking and environmental compliance suffixes. The device serves as a standard interface solution for digital logic interfacing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as CY74FCT244 variants or equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify compatibility regarding package dimensions and thermal performance before substitution.
