The CY74FCT374CTQC is a bus driver from the FCT series, designed for high-speed, low-power bus interface and line driving in digital systems. It's the kind of part you'd find in a backplane buffer, memory address driver, or control-signal fan-out in telecom, industrial control, or legacy computing gear. The FCT family is known for its balanced speed and drive strength — this part handles the bus without excessive ringing or overshoot.
Active lifecycle — still a current production part
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy clock is ticking. That matters if you're qualifying a new design or maintaining a long-running BOM — you're not forced into a substitution search.
The CY74FCT374CTQC is listed as RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly line or end-customer requires RoHS-6 or RoHS-10 compliance, this part won't pass the bill. For designs that still allow leaded solder (military, aerospace, some industrial legacy builds), it's fine. Just flag it early in the BOM review so nobody gets surprised at the reflow oven.
