Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus inventory. Procurement should prioritize verified sources to ensure authenticity, as discontinued parts may be subject to counterfeiting risks. Confirm end-of-life status with the manufacturer before finalizing acquisition plans.

Selection Notes

Designers selecting this part must account for its obsolete status and limited future supply. The 18-bit width and 56-TSSOP package define the physical and functional constraints. Consider the 2.3V to 3.6V operating voltage range for compatibility with existing system power rails. Evaluate alternative components from the same family or newer generations if long-term production stability is required.

Part Context

The 74ALVCF162835APAG8 belongs to the 74ALVCF series of universal bus drivers. This series is characterized by low voltage operation and high-speed performance. The specific model provides 18-bit buffering capabilities in a compact surface-mount package, targeting applications where space and speed are critical factors in digital circuit design.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, direct replacements may require redesigning the board layout to accommodate different pin counts or packages. Consult Renesas technical support for potential cross-reference recommendations.
