74VCX16500MTD

Universal Bus Functions Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74VCX16500MTD is a low voltage 18-bit universal bus transceiver housed in a 56-pin TSSOP package. It integrates D-type latches and D-type flip-flops to enable transparent or latched data flow. The device features 3.6V tolerant inputs and outputs, supporting operation across varying supply voltages for versatile interface applications.

Universal Bus Functions Feature Summary

• Combines D-type latches and flip-flops for flexible data handling
• Supports bidirectional data transfer with 3.6V tolerance
• Enables both transparent and latched transmission modes

Universal Bus Functions Applications

• Universal bus interfacing between different logic families
• Data storage and buffering in high-density systems
• Asynchronous communication links requiring voltage translation

Universal Bus Functions Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTD' confirms the 56-pin TSSOP package and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with 3.6V tolerant system requirements. Check for RoHS compliance documentation from the manufacturer. Confirm pinout alignment with target PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Universal Bus Functions Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-bit wide bus interface is required with integrated storage capabilities. It is suitable for designs needing 3.6V input/output tolerance. Consider the dual functionality of latching and flipping for complex timing requirements. Evaluate space constraints against the 56-pin TSSOP footprint availability.

Universal Bus Functions Part Context
