74F588PC

Overview

The onsemi 74F588PC is a GPIB-compatible octal transceiver belonging to the 74F logic series. It provides eight bidirectional data paths with three-state outputs, designed for high-speed bus applications. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features low input current. It is housed in a 16-PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Provides eight bidirectional data paths for high-speed bus interfacing
• Features three-state outputs to prevent bus contention
• Designed for GPIB compatibility with low input loading

Applications

• GPIB (IEEE-488) bus systems
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Bidirectional data buffering in industrial control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PC' confirms the 16-PDIP package and commercial temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical documentation may vary. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal, bidirectional transceiver with three-state outputs is required for GPIB or similar parallel bus architectures. Ensure the system design accommodates the 4.5V to 5.5V supply requirement and the 16-pin DIP footprint constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F family of fast TTL logic devices, known for higher speed performance compared to standard 74LS series. It serves as a critical interface component for connecting microprocessors or controllers to peripheral devices via wide data buses.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute: SN74F157AN (Texas Instruments). Verify pinout and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
