8-bit buffer with 3-state outputs in 20-SSOP
The Texas Instruments CY74FCT244TQCTG4 is an 8-bit buffer and line driver with non-inverting outputs and 3-state control, part of the 74FCT series. It contains two 4-bit elements per package, each with its own output enable, making it a direct fit for bus-oriented designs where the data path needs to be isolated or driven onto a shared bus. The output drive is rated 32 mA source and 64 mA sink — the asymmetric sink capability is typical for TTL-compatible bus interfaces where the load is primarily capacitive and the low-level noise margin benefits from the higher pull-down current.
Temperature grade and package fit
Surface-mount assembly with a standard 0.65 mm lead pitch. The narrow body width keeps the board footprint compact for dense digital sections where multiple bus transceivers sit side by side.
