• Designed for operation at standard 5V logic levels

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and address drivers
• Clock drivers and buffer circuits
• High-performance register banks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 against official datasheets to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal buffering with tri-state control at 5V logic levels. Consider the SOIC-20 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements to ensure signal integrity across the bus architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FCT (Fast CMOS) logic family from Texas Instruments. It serves as a high-speed alternative to standard TTL buffers, offering improved switching speeds while maintaining compatibility with 5V CMOS logic standards. The device is commonly used in digital communication interfaces and data acquisition systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for CY74FCT541 variants or other FCT-series octal buffers from Texas Instruments. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics such as output drive strength and propagation delay before substituting.
