Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer marking on the component body to confirm it originates from Fairchild Semiconductor or its successor entity, as ON Semiconductor acquired Fairchild's logic business. Ensure the suffix 'MTCX' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for your assembly line. Cross-reference the date code against current RoHS compliance declarations to ensure regulatory adherence for your target market.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require bidirectional data transfer between buses operating at low voltages between 1.65V and 3.6V. It is suitable for applications needing 3.6V tolerant I/O levels. Consider the 3.4ns maximum propagation delay at higher supply voltages for timing-critical designs. The TSSOP-20 package is appropriate for space-constrained surface-mount assemblies.
