Frequently Asked Questions
What is the channel width and output type of the CD74FCT244M96?
The CD74FCT244M96 is an octal (8-bit) bus driver with three-state outputs. It buffers eight unidirectional data lines simultaneously, and the three-state output enables bus sharing by allowing the device to be electrically disconnected from the bus when not active.
What logic family and technology does the CD74FCT244M96 use?
The CD74FCT244M96 belongs to the FCT (Fast CMOS Technology) BiCMOS logic family. This combines CMOS low-power input stages with bipolar output transistors, resulting in fast switching speeds, strong output drive, and reduced power consumption compared to standard bipolar TTL logic.
What is the output low voltage specification of the CD74FCT244M96?
The CD74FCT244M96 has a typical output low voltage (Vol) of 1 V at a 5 V supply and 25°C ambient temperature. This low Vol specification helps maintain adequate noise margins when driving multiple downstream logic inputs on a shared bus.
What package does the CD74FCT244M96 use and is it RoHS compliant?
The CD74FCT244M96 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package (JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20). It is fully RoHS compliant with JESD-609 code e4 (Pb-free), making it suitable for modern lead-free surface-mount assembly processes in industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics manufacturing.
What are typical applications for the CD74FCT244M96?
Typical applications include microprocessor address and data bus buffering, memory bank isolation, backplane drivers, and I/O port expansion in embedded systems. The octal configuration and three-state control make it a standard building block for bus interface logic in industrial controllers, network equipment, and digital computing boards.
