What are the key features of CD74FCT244ATM?

  • Octal (8-channel) non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs for bus isolation
  • BiCMOS FCT technology: 5 V supply, 64 mA max output low current (I_OL)
  • Active-low output enable control for straightforward bus direction switching
  • Propagation delay below 5 ns typical, supporting high-speed backplane designs
  • 20-pin SOIC package compatible with standard SMT assembly
  • Load capacitance rating of 50 pF for reliable operation on multi-load buses

What is CD74FCT244ATM used for?

The CD74FCT244ATM is commonly used in data bus buffering, memory address driving, and signal isolation in industrial computers, embedded controllers, and communication backplane systems. Its 3-state outputs and unidirectional drive capability make it a reliable choice for demultiplexing address lines or expanding GPIO in 5 V digital logic designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What output drive current does the CD74FCT244ATM provide, and is that enough for a TTL-loaded bus?

The CD74FCT244ATM is rated for a maximum output low current (I_OL) of 64 mA per channel, which is well above the 8 mA required by a standard TTL input. This allows it to drive buses with up to 8 standard TTL loads per output while maintaining a valid low output voltage.

How does the 3-state output feature of CD74FCT244ATM benefit multi-driver bus architectures?

The 3-state outputs allow all 8 channels to present high impedance simultaneously when the active-low output enable pin is deasserted high, preventing bus contention in systems where multiple 5 V bus drivers share the same address or data lines at 50 pF load capacitance.

Which package does CD74FCT244ATM use and what PCB footprint does it require?

CD74FCT244ATM is supplied in a 20-pin SOIC (R-PDSO-G20) package with a 1.27 mm pin pitch. The 20-pin SOIC body is compatible with standard SMT reflow processes and widely available 20-pin SOIC land patterns used in production PCB assembly.

When should a designer choose CD74FCT244ATM over a 74HC244 buffer in a 5 V embedded system?

CD74FCT244ATM is preferable when the bus requires higher output drive of 64 mA versus the 25 mA typical of 74HC244, or when faster propagation delay below 5 ns is needed for high-speed backplane operation. For 3.3 V or mixed-voltage systems, a 74LVC244 would be more appropriate.
