74ACTQ16244MTD

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ACTQ16244MTD is a 16-bit buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. It belongs to the ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) series, designed for high-speed digital applications. The device provides non-inverting buffering with separate control logic for each byte and nibble, allowing flexible configuration as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. It utilizes an EPICTM process to minimize switching noise and supports TTL-compatible inputs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm if it denotes a qualified version or specific package variant. Ensure the MTD package code matches the required surface-mount footprint. Cross-reference datasheets from multiple authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit wide bus interface with independent nibble control is required. It serves as a direct upgrade to standard AC/ACT families with improved performance. Consider the ACT series for its balance of speed and power consumption compared to older Schottky TTL technologies.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part is part of the Widebus family, characterized by distributed VCC and GND pins to reduce switching noise. It is functionally similar to the 74AC16244 but offers enhanced drive capabilities and lower propagation delay typical of the Advanced CMOS technology lineage.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for cross-manufacturer equivalents such as Texas Instruments SN54ACT16244 or STMicroelectronics variants. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
