74ALVCF162835TX

Overview

The SN74ALVCF162835TX is a universal bus driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, part of the ALVCF logic family. It features an 18-bit configuration housed in a 56-pin TSSOP package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and supports bidirectional data transmission between buses. It includes direction control inputs to manage signal flow and output enable functions for high-impedance isolation. Designed for low-voltage applications, it provides robust performance for interfacing systems requiring wide data paths.

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Texas Instruments also produces the SN74ALVCF162835 series. Confirm that the specific suffix 'TX' corresponds to the intended TSSOP packaging and tape-and-reel orientation. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range and voltage specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-bit wide bus interface is required in low-voltage environments. Consider the 56-pin TSSOP footprint for board space constraints. Evaluate the need for bidirectional control versus unidirectional drivers. Compare propagation delay characteristics against system clock speeds to ensure timing compliance.

Part Context

This device belongs to the ALVCF family of advanced low-voltage CMOS logic devices. These components are designed for use in battery-powered and portable applications due to their low power consumption. The family typically offers high-speed operation while maintaining compatibility with standard logic levels found in modern digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the SN74ALVCF162835GR or SN74ALVCF162835VR from Texas Instruments, which share identical logical functions but may differ in package type or reel specifications.
