74FCT16244TPA

Overview

The IDT74FCT16244TPA is a 16-bit buffer and line driver belonging to the FCT logic series. It features four independent 4-bit drivers with true outputs and three-state capabilities. The device utilizes high-speed, low-power CMOS technology designed as a replacement for ABT functions. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an extended commercial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High drive output capability providing strong signal integrity for bus-oriented applications
• Power-off disable feature that permits live insertion without system interference
• Low input and output leakage characteristics ensuring minimal static power consumption
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection exceeding standard MIL-STD requirements

Applications

• Bus-oriented receivers and transmitters in computing systems
• Memory address drivers requiring high speed and density
• Clock distribution networks in high-performance digital circuits
• General-purpose 16-bit buffering in telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against official documentation, as suffixes may indicate different pin pitches or reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required electrical grade and temperature range for your specific design implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 16-bit non-inverting buffering with three-state control. It is suitable for replacing older ABT logic families to achieve higher speeds and lower power. Consider the TSSOP package availability if surface-mount assembly is required. Verify that the 5V supply voltage aligns with the target system architecture before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader FCT (Fast CMOS) family produced by Integrated Device Technology. The family includes various configurations such as transceivers and latches. The 16244 specifically addresses the need for high-drive buffers in parallel data paths. IDT's expertise in mixed-signal solutions supports the reliability of this logic product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the CY74FCT16244 series from Cypress and Texas Instruments. The 74FCT16244CTPAG8 from Renesas is also a functional equivalent. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters before swapping manufacturers.
