Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Fairchild's semiconductor assets were acquired by ON Semiconductor. Confirm the specific package type matches the TSSOP designation found in documentation. Ensure the revision level aligns with current design requirements, noting that some related series may be obsolete. Cross-reference part numbers carefully to avoid confusion with similar AC or LVTH variants.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit wide non-inverting buffer with three-state control is required. It is appropriate for designs needing improved density and performance in address or clock lines. Consider the ACT logic family characteristics for speed and power consumption trade-offs relative to other CMOS families available from the same manufacturer lineage.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the 74ACT logic family, which offers performance comparable to TTL but with CMOS power consumption. The 16244 variant specifically provides 16 channels of buffering. Related parts include the 74AC16244 and various 8-bit counterparts like the 74ACT244, offering flexibility in system architecture design based on data width requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the SN54ACT16244 from Texas Instruments. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against datasheets from other manufacturers before substitution. Note that legacy Fairchild stock may now be distributed under different branding due to corporate acquisitions.
