74FCT162501ATPVCT

Overview

The 74FCT162501ATPVCT is an 18-bit universal bus transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and utilizes a 56-pin SSOP package. The device supports bidirectional data transfer with registered outputs, providing high-speed signal integrity for wide data buses in digital systems.

Feature Summary

• Supports 18-bit bidirectional data transmission across a single functional unit
• Features registered outputs to maintain stable data states during clock transitions
• Compatible with standard CMOS logic families for broad system integration

Applications

• High-density memory interface circuits
• Wide data bus buffering and direction control
• Industrial communication gateways requiring registered data latching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TPVCT' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target assembly process. Cross-reference the date code and lot number with authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-bit width is required for bus expansion or data path management. The registered output feature makes it suitable for applications needing data synchronization. Compare power consumption and propagation delay metrics against alternative FCT series devices to ensure optimal performance for the specific circuit timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74FCT logic family, designed for fast CMOS operation at 5 V. It serves as a bridge between microprocessors and peripheral devices, handling wide data paths more efficiently than parallel 8-bit solutions. The SSOP packaging allows for compact surface-mount designs in space-constrained electronic equipment.
