CY74FCT244T: CY74FCT244T Maximum Input Signal Frequency

Part Number: CY74FCT244T
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TS5MP645, TS3A5018

Hello,

I consider to use CY74FCT244T for JTAG bus switcher. At this point I saw tplh and tphl timing values but is there any input signal frequency limit for input signals? Also can I use this IC for bidirectional discrete signal buffer? As I understood from the datasheet, chip works as unidirectional signal buffer. 

Regards,

Dogancan

    '244 buffers are unidirectional.

    What do you need the buffer for? Disconnecting from the bus? Increasing drive strength? And what frequency do you need?

    Hello,

    Actually, I want to connect main JTAG bus of FPGA to two different connectors and also want to enable only one connection to the connectors (like a multiplexer). By doing this, I want to prevent stubs on the JTAG line. 60 MHz is enough for me. Also I want to connect 3 bidirectional discrete signals, which are very low speed,  to these connectors and again want to enable one connector connections. In addition, I have to switch buffers depends on the my application scenario. Sometimes, first buffer and first connector connections will be enabled, sometimes the other connection and the other buffer. I hope everything is clear about my application now.

    Regards,

    Hi Dogancan,

    This device is unidirectional so it won't be  able to handle bidirectional signals. My recommendation is to use a transceiver of some sort which will allow you to control direction. So there are 7 signals going to two connectors in which you want to be able select which connector is being used? What supplies do you have to work with?

    As far as I can see, you do not need buffering, just a multiplexer. (And in any case, bidirectional signals cannot be buffered without a separate direction signal.)

    Assuming 3.3 V, the smallest mux with at least 7 channels actually has 10 (TS5MP645). If cost is more important than space, use 2x TS3A5018.

    Hi Dylan,

    I need to use 3.3V supplies in my design because our JTAG bus is working with 3.3V. At the below discussion, I think Clemens' solutions (exactly the TS3A5018) is compatible for my design. As I understood from your post, you offered the same technique as a solution. Thank you for your interests and time.

    Hi Clemens,

    I think 2x TS3A5018 solution is very compatible for my design. Thank you for your interests and time.
