Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the 25-ohm series resistors in the SN74BCT25244DWG4?
The integrated 25-ohm series termination resistors in the SN74BCT25244DWG4 are designed to match the output impedance of the driver to the characteristic impedance of transmission lines on the PCB. This incident wave switching technique eliminates signal reflections and ringing on controlled-impedance bus traces, improving signal integrity on high-speed buses operating above 50 MHz without requiring external termination resistors.
What is the output drive current of the SN74BCT25244DWG4?
The SN74BCT25244DWG4 provides a maximum output low current (IOL) of 188mA, one of the highest drive strengths available in the BCT logic family. This high drive capability is essential for backplane bus applications where multiple bus loads must be driven simultaneously over long trace lengths with sufficient noise margins.
What package is the SN74BCT25244DWG4 available in?
The SN74BCT25244DWG4 is packaged in a 24-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) wide-body package, JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G24. This surface-mount package provides the pin count needed for 8-bit data, two enable signals, and supply connections, and is compatible with standard automated PCB assembly processes.
Is the SN74BCT25244DWG4 suitable for use in high-speed bus applications?
Yes, the SN74BCT25244DWG4 is specifically designed for high-speed bus applications. The combination of BiCMOS output drivers for high current drive, integrated 25-ohm series termination for impedance matching, and the BCT logic family's fast propagation characteristics makes it well-suited for driving 50-ohm and 75-ohm controlled-impedance buses in backplane systems, memory interfaces, and data communication equipment.
