Device identity and functional role
The Texas Instruments 74FCT544ASC is a bus transceiver from the FCT series, designed for bidirectional data flow on a bus line with 3-state outputs. As a Logic IC in the FCT family, it provides the high-speed, low-power characteristics typical of the series, suited for bus-oriented data paths in digital systems.
Lifecycle and compliance
RoHS non-compliant designation means the part contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS threshold — a factor for projects requiring full RoHS conformity.
Packaging and procurement
Supplied in bulk packaging, the 74FCT544ASC is suited for through-hole assembly or prototyping where tube or tray handling is preferred over tape-and-reel.
