74FCT162646ETPV

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The IDT 74FCT162646ETPV is a 16-bit registered bus transceiver utilizing Fast CMOS technology. It features two independent 8-bit transceivers with direction control and output enable capabilities. The device operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports bidirectional data transfer between external buses and local logic. It includes registered outputs for stable data holding and is designed for high-speed applications requiring low power consumption and strong drive characteristics in a compact SSOP-56 package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides bidirectional data transmission between two buses with independent direction control for each 8-bit section
• Features registered outputs that latch data on the clock edge to maintain stable signal integrity during bus transitions
• Incorporates power-off disable functionality to isolate outputs when the device is not powered, supporting live insertion scenarios

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• High-speed memory bus interfaces requiring registered buffering
• Bidirectional data gateways in embedded systems
• Clock distribution networks needing registered output staging

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ETPV' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for your design. Cross-reference with official distributor catalogs to validate availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require registered bidirectional data flow with independent control over two 8-bit channels. It is suitable for replacing older ABT family devices where lower power consumption and higher speed are needed. Consider the SSOP-56 package constraints regarding PCB space and thermal management during layout.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the FCT (Fast CMOS) logic family, which serves as a high-speed, low-power alternative to earlier bipolar technologies. The 74FCT162646 series specifically addresses applications needing registered transceivers with robust drive capabilities. It integrates well into standard digital logic designs requiring reliable data latching and bus isolation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the CY74FCT162646 or CD74FCT162646 from other manufacturers like Texas Instruments or Cypress. Verify functional pinouts and electrical specifications to ensure compatibility without redesigning the surrounding circuitry.
