NXP 74LVCH16244ADGG: 16-bit Buffer/Line Driver

The NXP 74LVCH16244ADGG is a high-performance, low-voltage, 16-bit buffer and line driver designed to support the demands of high-speed signal transmission while maintaining low power consumption. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of NXP's advanced 74LVCH family, which is known for its capabilities in interfacing between different voltage and bus capacitance requirements. The device is particularly suitable for driving bus lines or buffer memory address registers in applications that require high-speed, low-power operation.

Constructed with 16 non-inverting buffers with 3-state outputs, the 74LVCH16244ADGG provides a high degree of flexibility in bidirectional data flow control, making it an ideal choice for bus-oriented systems. Each octal buffer has separate input-enable (nOE) and output-enable (nOE) controls, which allow the transmitter to be disabled while maintaining the high-impedance state necessary to share a data bus with multiple devices.

The device operates over a wide voltage range of 1.2V to 3.6V on the V<sub>CC pin, allowing it to interface with low-voltage systems and significantly reduce power consumption. Additionally, the 74LVCH16244ADGG features balanced output drive with current limiting resistors, which helps reduce the effects of simultaneous switching outputs (SSO), thereby improving signal integrity.

Key features of the 74LVCH16244ADGG include:

• 16-bit high-speed buffer/line driver
• 3-state non-inverting outputs
• Wide operating voltage range: 1.2V to 3.6V
• 5V tolerant inputs/outputs for interfacing with 5V logic
• Low power consumption
• High-impedance output state for bus-oriented applications
• Output drive capability of +/-24mA at 3.3V
• Bus hold on data inputs to retain last input state
• Complies with JEDEC standard JESD8-5A
• ESD protection exceeds JESD 22

The 74LVCH16244ADGG is housed in a 48-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) type package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its robust design and advanced features make it a versatile component for a wide range of applications, including servers, telecom infrastructure, computing peripherals, and high-speed data paths in communication systems.

With its combination of high-speed performance, low power operation, and advanced features, the NXP 74LVCH16244ADGG is a reliable and efficient solution for modern digital systems requiring high-quality, high-speed buffering and line driving capabilities.
