Diodes Incorporated PI74FCT244TLE Product Overview

The PI74FCT244TLE from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, Octal Buffer/Line Driver designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern electronic systems. This integrated circuit is part of the PI74FCT series, which is known for its fast propagation delays, low input and output leakage currents, and low power consumption. The PI74FCT244TLE is particularly suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers due to its high drive output and bidirectional versatility.

Featuring eight non-inverting buffer/line drivers with 3-state outputs, the PI74FCT244TLE ensures that multiple devices can share a common bus line without interference. Each buffer has a separate output-enable (OE) input, which, when high, puts the output into a high-impedance state. This feature is essential for memory sharing systems, where data integrity is paramount.

The device operates at a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with TTL logic levels while providing a higher speed than standard CMOS integrated circuits. Its low power consumption makes it an ideal choice for use in battery-powered devices, portable electronics, and other power-sensitive applications. The PI74FCT244TLE also offers a typical propagation delay of only 3.4ns, ensuring high-speed operation for critical applications.

Manufactured with advanced CMOS technology, the PI74FCT244TLE is offered in a 20-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) that minimizes the footprint on printed circuit boards, providing a space-saving solution without compromising performance. The device's industrial standard pinout allows for easy replacement and design-in with minimal adjustments to existing layouts.

Applications for the PI74FCT244TLE are diverse and include data communication, signal buffering, memory address driving, and bus interfacing. With its robust design and Diodes Incorporated's commitment to reliability, the PI74FCT244TLE is an excellent choice for designers looking for a high-quality buffer/line driver to enhance the performance and stability of their digital systems.
