74LCX162244MTD

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX162244MTD is a low-voltage 16-bit buffer and line driver featuring 5V tolerant inputs and outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, fabricated using advanced CMOS technology for high-speed performance with low power dissipation. The device provides non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, designed to interface between low-voltage systems and 5V signal environments while supporting live insertion and withdrawal capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Provides 5V tolerance on both input and output pins for mixed-voltage system interfacing
• Features 3-state outputs allowing bus-oriented transmitter and receiver applications
• Supports live insertion and withdrawal without damaging the device or system

Applications

• Memory address drivers in low-voltage computing systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring high-speed buffering
• Bus-oriented transmitters and receivers in mixed-voltage architectures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTD' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS standards if required by your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current datasheets to confirm availability and any potential obsolescence notices from the supplier.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require driving 16-bit buses across different voltage domains. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed data transfer with minimal power consumption. Consider the 3-state functionality for shared bus lines and verify that the 2.3V to 3.6V operating range matches your system's power supply constraints.

Part Context

This device belongs to the LCX series of low-voltage logic components from Fairchild Semiconductor. The LCX family is engineered for high-speed operation while maintaining the low power characteristics typical of CMOS technology. It serves as a bridge between older 5V logic systems and modern low-voltage digital circuits, facilitating seamless integration in mixed-voltage designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts such as the 74LCX244MTCX for 8-bit applications or other 16-bit variants like the 74ALVCH162244TX if higher speed is needed. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
