74LVC162244APAG

Overview

The IDT74LVC162244APAG is a 16-bit buffer and line driver belonging to the LVC logic series. It features four functional channels, each handling 4 bits of true, non-inverting output. The device utilizes CMOS technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It provides three-state outputs with high-level output current of -12 mA and low-level output current of 12 mA. The component has a propagation delay of 4.4 ns and draws a static current of 10 uA. It is housed in a 48-pin TSSOP package and supports surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides 16-bit buffering with four independent 4-bit functional channels for parallel data transmission.
• Features three-state outputs that allow connection to multiple buses without signal contention.
• Utilizes advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed performance while maintaining low power consumption.

Applications

• High-density memory bus buffering in computing systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring precise signal timing
• Data acquisition systems interfacing microprocessors with peripheral devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the datasheet, as this component may be listed under Renesas Electronics following corporate acquisitions. Confirm the specific suffix 'PAG' corresponds to the TSSOP-48 package type and lead-free compliance status required for your assembly process. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact logical function and pinout configuration needed for your schematic design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit non-inverting buffer with three-state capability is required for low-voltage digital interfaces. It is suitable for designs operating strictly within the 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply range. Consider its 4.4 ns propagation delay for timing-critical applications where moderate speed is sufficient. Verify that the TSSOP-48 package dimensions fit the available PCB real estate constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC162244 family of 16-bit buffers. It serves as a direct replacement or alternative for similar LVC series drivers from other manufacturers. The device is designed to replace older ABT functions with lower power consumption while maintaining compatible electrical characteristics. It is widely used in embedded systems requiring reliable data latching and bus isolation.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with IDT74FCT162244ATPAG8 for FCT series compatibility if higher drive strength is needed. Check Renesas 74LVC162244APAG for identical specifications under updated branding. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substituting with generic LVC equivalents.
