The IDT74FCT244TQ is an IC component manufactured by Integrated Device Technology (IDT). It is a high-speed non-inverting octal buffer/line driver with three-state outputs. The IC is designed to interface between TTL and CMOS voltage levels, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The IDT74FCT244TQ features eight independent non-inverting buffer/line driver channels. It has a tristate output, which allows the outputs to be put into a high-impedance state, enabling multiple devices to share a common bus. This feature is particularly useful in bus-oriented applications such as data communications or memory systems.
One of the prominent features of the IDT74FCT244TQ is its high-speed operation. It has a maximum propagation delay of just 5.5 nanoseconds, making it well-suited for time-critical applications that require fast signal transmission. Additionally, the IC has symmetrical output characteristics, enabling precise signal integrity and accurate timing.
The IDT74FCT244TQ operates within a wide voltage range, making it adaptable for various input and output voltage levels. It supports TTL-compatible input and output levels, as well as CMOS-compatible levels. It can directly interface with TTL, CMOS, and other logic families, simplifying system integration.
Another important feature of the IDT74FCT244TQ is its low power consumption
