Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CD74FCT244ATM96 and what does it do?
The CD74FCT244ATM96 is a BiCMOS FCT-series Octal Non-Inverting Buffer and Line Driver from Texas Instruments. It contains eight non-inverting buffer channels with 3-state outputs controlled by two active-low output enable pins (OE1 and OE2). It is optimized for high-speed bus driving with a typical output low voltage of 1V at 5V supply, making it fully compatible with TTL logic thresholds.
What is the difference between FCT and standard CMOS logic families?
The FCT (Fast CMOS Technology) family uses BiCMOS technology, combining CMOS logic gates with bipolar output drivers. This results in faster propagation delays and higher output drive current than standard CMOS while maintaining lower quiescent power than full bipolar TTL logic. FCT devices like the CD74FCT244ATM96 are designed to drive heavily loaded buses with fast edge rates.
What package and pin count does the CD74FCT244ATM96 use?
The CD74FCT244ATM96 is housed in a 20-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package with JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20. The 'TM96' suffix refers to the tape-and-reel packaging format in a 96-unit reel. The surface-mount package supports automated PCB assembly and is suitable for high-density digital logic board designs.
Is the CD74FCT244ATM96 RoHS compliant and what is its expected availability?
Yes, the CD74FCT244ATM96 is fully RoHS compliant and lead-free, with Pb-free code 'Yes' and JESD-609 code e4. It has a YTEOL (Years to End of Life) value of 15, confirming Texas Instruments plans to supply this device for at least 15 more years, making it a reliable long-term sourcing option for production designs.
What are typical applications for the CD74FCT244ATM96?
The CD74FCT244ATM96 is commonly used for address bus buffering, data bus driving, and memory interface logic in microprocessor and DSP-based systems. Its high output drive and fast switching make it well-suited for backplane drivers in industrial computers, telecom cards, VMEbus/CompactPCI systems, and high-speed embedded computing platforms requiring robust bus signal integrity.
