IDT74FST163244PAG8

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The IDT74FST163244PAG8 is a 16-bit bus switch manufactured by Renesas Electronics, housed in a TSSOP-48 package. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and requires a supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. The device features four independent output enable inputs (xOE) that control the connection state between A and B ports. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 15Ω at VCC=Min., low input capacitance of 6pF, and high-level output current capability of 128mA. Propagation delay is typically 0.25ns, with disconnect delays up to 5.6ns.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Feature Summary

• Provides zero-delay signal paths through n-channel FETs for connecting or isolating two ports without inherent current sink or source capability.
• Supports hot insertion capability due to lack of conduction when VCC is not applied.
• Features very low power dissipation and TTL-compatible input/output levels.
• Offers high electrostatic discharge protection exceeding 2000V per MIL-STD-883.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Applications

• High-speed data routing in digital systems requiring minimal signal delay.
• Bus isolation applications where low on-resistance is critical.
• Hot-swappable interface circuits utilizing the device's power-off isolation properties.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PAG8 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the TSSOP-48 green package configuration. Ensure the component meets the required industrial temperature range specifications (-40°C to +85°C) for your application environment. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to confirm compatibility with existing design files and verify RoHS compliance status as indicated in the product specifications.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Selection Notes
