Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Fairchild Semiconductor operations have transitioned to onsemi. Confirm the exact package variant and suffix codes match your board design requirements. Check for current lifecycle status, as older logic families may be subject to discontinuation or limited availability. Ensure ESD handling precautions are followed during assembly due to the sensitivity of CMOS inputs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require 16-bit parallel data buffering with high-speed performance and low power characteristics. It is suitable for applications needing 5V tolerant inputs to interface with legacy 5V logic while operating from lower supply voltages. Consider the TSSOP-48 package constraints regarding thermal management and PCB space compared to larger packages like SSOP or BGA.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 74ALVC series of high-speed low-voltage CMOS logic devices.
