Diodes Incorporated PI74FCT3244QE Octal Buffer/Line Driver

The PI74FCT3244QE from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, octal buffer/line driver designed to address the requirements of high-speed data transmission systems. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of the FCT (Fast CMOS Technology) family, which is renowned for its robust performance and reliability. The PI74FCT3244QE is suitable for interfacing with bus lines in a wide range of applications, including computer systems, networking equipment, and communication devices.

This octal buffer/line driver features eight non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, which can be used as line drivers for bus-oriented applications. The 3-state controls allow independent control of each section of the device. The PI74FCT3244QE is capable of driving heavily loaded buses with the utmost signal integrity, as it provides low ground bounce and minimal propagation delay.

The device operates efficiently with a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with TTL logic levels while offering the benefits of CMOS technology, such as reduced power consumption and increased noise immunity. The PI74FCT3244QE also provides improved output drive capability, with the ability to source up to 64mA and sink up to 32mA, facilitating the driving of large capacitive loads with excellent signal quality.

Manufactured in a 20-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package), the PI74FCT3244QE is designed for space-constrained applications. Its small footprint allows for efficient use of PCB space, while its pinout is optimized for easy PCB routing.
