The CY74FCT2244CTSOC is a 74FCT-series non-inverting buffer from Texas Instruments, organized as two independent 4-bit elements with 3-state outputs. It runs on a 4.75V to 5.25V supply rail — strictly 5V logic, not 3.3V compatible. Each output can source 15mA or sink 12mA, enough for standard TTL fan-out on a backplane or shared data bus.
The commercial-grade SN74LS645-1N (0°C to 70°C) would not survive those environments.
