Product Overview: 74ACT16240DLR from Texas Instruments

The 74ACT16240DLR is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer and line driver designed by Texas Instruments to meet the demanding needs of high-speed data transmission systems. This integrated circuit is part of the ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) family and is characterized by its high speed and low power consumption, making it ideal for interfacing with bus-oriented systems.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Buffer/Line Driver, Non-Inverting
• Number of Elements: 2
• Number of Bits per Element: 8
• Output Type: 3-State
• Current - Output High, Low: 24mA, 24mA
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (TA)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 48-BSSOP (0.295", 7.50mm Width)

The 74ACT16240DLR features two independent 8-bit sections, each with its own output enable (OE) control. This allows for greater flexibility in controlling the flow of data. The 3-state outputs can be placed in a high-impedance mode, which is essential when multiple drivers are connected to the same data bus, preventing bus contention.

With its wide operating voltage range and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels, this device can easily be integrated into mixed-technology systems. The 74ACT16240DLR is designed to drive capacitive loads of up to 50 pF with power-off disable capability on both the input and output, which helps prevent erroneous data transmission during power cycling.

Manufactured with Texas Instruments' advanced BiCMOS technology, the 74ACT16240DLR offers the best of both worlds: CMOS low power dissipation and BiCMOS speeds. This product is available in a 48-BSSOP package and is designed for surface mount technology, facilitating efficient assembly in printed circuit boards.

Whether used in personal computers, servers, networking equipment, or other digital systems, the 74ACT16240DLR provides reliable and robust performance to maintain data integrity across physical channels. Texas Instruments' commitment to quality ensures that this buffer and line driver will meet the rigorous standards of today's electronic industry.
