It sits between a 3.3V controller and a shared data bus, gating the signal path when the output-enable line is pulled high. The 3-state outputs let multiple buffers share the same bus lines without contention. Supply range is 2.7V to 3.6V, so it runs cleanly off a 3.3V rail. Output drive is 8mA sourcing and 24mA sinking — enough for standard CMOS inputs and short PCB traces, but not meant for driving long backplanes or high-capacitance loads without a bus transceiver stage. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) covers outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and automotive cabin electronics. No 5V tolerance on the inputs — the absolute maximum on any pin tracks the supply rail, so level translation is needed if the upstream logic runs at 5V. ## Package and mounting — 20-TSSOP The 20-TSSOP package has a 4.40 mm body width. The supplier device package is also 20-TSSOP. For small-batch prototypes, Cut Tape is the practical pick; for production runs, the full reel avoids mid-run splice stops. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture ROHS3 compliant, so it passes current EU material restrictions without an exemption. No known PCN for die shrinks or package changes that would alter the electrical or mechanical fit.","metaTitle":"74FCT3244APGG8 Buffer, Non-Inverting, 3-State, 20-TSSOP","metaDescription":"74FCT3244APGG8 buffer from the 74FCT series. 2.7V–3.6V supply, 8mA/24mA output drive, -40°C to 85°C.

Applying 5V to any pin exceeds the absolute maximum rating tied to the supply rail. Use a level translator (e.g., a 74LVC series part) between 5V logic and this buffer."},{"question":"What is the difference between 74FCT3244 and 74FCT3245?","answer":"The 74FCT3244 is a buffer (non-inverting, unidirectional). The 74FCT3245 is a transceiver (bidirectional) with a direction-control pin. If your bus needs data flow in both directions, the 3245 is the correct choice; for a one-way fan-out or isolation buffer, the 3244 fits."},{"question":"What is the lead time for 74FCT3244APGG8 from major distributors?","answer":"Lead time varies by distributor stock position and order quantity. Because this is an active part with no supply constraints flagged, typical lead times through independent channels range from a few days for small quantities to several weeks for large reel orders. An RFQ will return a confirmed lead time for your specific request."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/renesas/74FCT3244APGG8","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/renesas/74FCT3244APGG8 when reusing this data.
