Universal Bus Functions Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTDX' against current ON Semiconductor documentation, as Fairchild integration may have altered part nomenclature or availability status. Confirm package dimensions and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement to ensure compatibility with assembly processes.

Universal Bus Functions Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring wide bus width (18-bit) at low operating voltages. Ensure the design supports the 1.4V minimum supply requirement and accommodates the 56-pin TSSOP footprint. Verify that the 3.6V tolerance aligns with the target system's I/O standards.

Universal Bus Functions Part Context

This device belongs to the 74VCX series of low voltage CMOS logic components. It serves as a universal bus transceiver, distinct from standard 74HC or 74VHC families by its specific low-voltage operation and high pin count configuration for parallel data handling.

Universal Bus Functions Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers under ON Semiconductor due to Fairchild integration. Verify functional equivalence regarding pinout and electrical characteristics before substituting.
