Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as IDT was acquired by Renesas Electronics. Confirm the specific suffix 'X4APV' matches your required packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm electrical characteristics align with your design constraints.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit non-inverting buffer is required for 3.3V CMOS environments. It is suitable for applications needing moderate drive strength and fast switching speeds typical of the FCT family. Consider pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for standard SSOP or similar packages. Evaluate power consumption and thermal dissipation requirements relative to the number of active outputs in your specific circuit design.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part is part of the broader 74FCT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The series is known for replacing slower TTL technologies with faster CMOS alternatives while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds.
