74FCT162244CTPVG8

Overview

The IDT 74FCT162244CTPVG8 is a 16-bit buffer and line driver manufactured by Integrated Device Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and features four independent non-inverting buffers, each handling four bits. The device utilizes Fast CMOS technology to provide high-speed performance with low power consumption. It includes power-off disable outputs to support live insertion applications. The component is housed in a 48-pin SSOP package and is designed for operation across an extended commercial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides sixteen non-inverting buffered outputs organized into four independent four-bit channels
• Incorporates power-off disable functionality to permit safe live insertion into powered systems
• Utilizes Fast CMOS technology to deliver high-speed signal transmission with reduced power dissipation

Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering in computer architectures
• Clock distribution networks requiring precise signal integrity
• Memory interface circuits demanding high drive capability

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against current manufacturer documentation, as legacy part numbers may have undergone obsolescence or specification updates. Confirm that the specific package variant matches the design requirements, as pinouts and thermal characteristics can vary between different packaging options within the same logical family. Ensure compatibility with existing system voltage levels before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require robust buffering for wide data buses operating at standard 5V logic levels. The inclusion of power-off disable features makes it suitable for hot-swap environments where circuit protection during insertion is critical. Evaluate the trade-offs between speed and power consumption inherent to the FCT series compared to other logic families available from the manufacturer.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 74FCT logic family, which serves as a high-performance replacement for older transistor-transistor logic (TTL) standards. The 74FCT162244 specifically addresses the need for 16-bit data path management in complex digital systems. Its design emphasizes reliability and signal fidelity, making it a common choice in industrial and commercial electronic equipment requiring stable logic level translation and amplification.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with equivalent parts such as the 74FCT162244ATPAG8 or Texas Instruments variants like the CY74FCT162244CTPVC. Verify functional equivalence regarding output drive strength and propagation delay. Check for any changes in pinout compatibility or package dimensions if substituting with devices from different manufacturers.
