74ALVC162244GX

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ALVC162244GX is a low-voltage CMOS 16-bit bus buffer with three-state outputs. It operates within a voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and features 5V tolerant inputs and outputs, supporting mixed-5V systems. The device provides symmetrical output impedance and includes power-down protection on inputs and outputs. It is housed in a 48-pin TSSOP package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides 16-bit non-inverting buffering with independent control for two nibbles
• Supports 5V tolerant I/O interfaces for mixed-voltage system compatibility
• Includes power-down protection to maintain high-impedance states during low-power modes

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Memory and address drivers in embedded systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring low skew
• Bus-oriented transmitter/receiver configurations

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GX' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the package dimensions with standard TSSOP-48 specifications before finalizing PCB layout.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require 16-bit data transfer between 2.3V to 3.6V logic domains and 5V peripherals. The 5V tolerance feature eliminates the need for level shifters. Consider the TSSOP-48 package constraints for board space and thermal management requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the ALVC (Advanced Low-Voltage CMOS) family, designed for high-speed applications with low power consumption. It is functionally compatible with other 16-bit bus buffers in the industry but offers specific 5V tolerance capabilities. The device is intended for use in portable and battery-powered electronics where voltage efficiency is critical.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as the 74LCX16244 or 74LVC162244 from various manufacturers. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters like propagation delay and drive strength before substitution.
