The PI74VCX16244AX is a 16-bit buffer/line driver from Pericom Semiconductor, designed for high-speed, low-power operation in 3.3V systems. This device features non-inverting outputs and is commonly used to isolate memory address drivers, clock drivers, and data bus transceiver applications. The 'VCX' family indicates very low voltage operation with controlled output edge rates, minimizing noise and ground bounce.

Applications:

• Memory address drivers
• Clock drivers
• Data bus transceivers
• Level shifting applications (3.3V to 5V)
• Backplane driving

Features:

• 16-bit buffer/line driver with non-inverting outputs
• 3.3V supply voltage
• Low power consumption
• High-speed operation
• Controlled output edge rates
• TTL compatible inputs

Benefits:

• High-speed data transfer: Ensures efficient data transmission in high-performance systems.
• Reduced noise and ground bounce: Controlled output edge rates minimize signal distortion.
• Low power consumption: Suitable for energy-efficient applications.
• Flexible interfacing: TTL compatible inputs simplify integration with other logic families.
