Product details

5V logic buffer for legacy bus isolation

The 74FCT244CTQG from Renesas is a non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs, organized as two elements of 4 bits each — a classic 8-bit bus driver or line receiver for 5V logic systems.

Output drive and temperature grade

The buffer sinks 15 mA and sources 64 mA per output — the asymmetric drive is typical for driving capacitive loads on a bus, where the high source current charges trace capacitance quickly while the lower sink current limits ground bounce.

Package options and board-fit note

Supplied in a 20-SSOP (3.90mm body width) and also available as a 20-QSOP — the QSOP variant has a finer lead pitch (0.635 mm vs 0.65 mm) and a shorter body length, which matters when the PCB footprint is already laid out for one or the other.

Fully RoHS3 compliant, with no exemptions that would trigger a separate REACH or conflict-minerals filing for most OEMs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to the 74FCT244CTQG?

The 74FCT16245ATPAG8 is a 16-bit transceiver rather than a buffer — it has bidirectional I/O and direction control, so it is not a direct pin-for-pin replacement. For a simple buffer function, stay within the 74FCT244 family; the 74FCT16245 is a different logic function.

What compliance documentation does Renesas provide for the 74FCT244CTQG?

Renesas provides RoHS3 compliance certification.
