SN74AUC16244ZQLR - Texas Instruments 16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver

The SN74AUC16244ZQLR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer and line driver designed to deliver fast and reliable digital signal transmission for advanced computing and high-speed communication applications. Fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology, this device features a low-voltage operation that minimizes power consumption without compromising on speed or output drive capabilities.

The SN74AUC16244ZQLR operates over a voltage range of 0.8V to 2.7V, which makes it suitable for interfacing with next-generation low-voltage logic devices. With its robust output drive, it can effectively drive transmission lines and reduce signal distortion in challenging electrical environments, ensuring signal integrity is maintained.

This integrated circuit is equipped with 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver gates with 3-state outputs. The 3-state outputs allow for connection directly to a bus-structured configuration, enabling the device to either drive the bus lines or to isolate them entirely by placing them in a high-impedance state. This feature is particularly useful in applications where multiple peripherals are connected to the same bus and need to communicate without interference.

The SN74AUC16244ZQLR is housed in a compact 56-pin BGA (Ball Grid Array) package, which not only saves space on the printed circuit board but also enhances thermal performance and signal integrity due to its reduced lead inductance. The device also supports the use of flow-through architecture, which simplifies PCB layout by allowing inputs to be placed near the corresponding outputs.

Key features of the SN74AUC16244ZQLR include its low static power consumption, edge-rate control circuitry that minimizes output switching noise, and bus-hold circuitry which maintains the last active state during power down to prevent floating inputs and reduce system power-up initialization time.

This product is a reliable choice for designers looking to optimize their high-speed digital systems with a buffer and line driver that combines low power operation with high-speed performance. The SN74AUC16244ZQLR is ideal for applications such as servers, networking equipment, and telecommunication infrastructure.
