Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTD' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel packaging configuration and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 48-TSSOP package before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit non-inverting buffer with three-state capability is required. It serves as a suitable alternative to standard small-outline packages by providing higher I/O density in the same PCB area. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range matches the system voltage requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments Widebus family, which was acquired by Fairchild Semiconductor. The 74ACT16244 is a member of the Advanced CMOS (ACT) logic family, offering performance comparable to Schottky TTL but with lower power dissipation. It is characterized for operation over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
