SN74LVCH16244ADGG: 16-Bit Buffer/Driver with 3-State Outputs

The SN74LVCH16244ADGG is a high-performance, 16-bit buffer/driver device from Texas Instruments designed for use in systems that require low-voltage and low-power operation without compromising speed and drive capabilities. This integrated circuit is part of the LVCH family, which is characterized by its 3.3V operation and 5V tolerant I/Os, making it suitable for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.

The device features 16 non-inverting buffers/drivers with 3-state outputs, which can be employed in bus-oriented applications. Each octal buffer/driver has separate input and output enable signals, providing flexible control and allowing for the isolation of the bus lines during high-impedance states or power-down modes. The 3-state outputs ensure that multiple outputs can be connected to a bus without causing contention.

Constructed with an advanced BiCMOS technology, the SN74LVCH16244ADGG offers optimal signal quality, which is augmented by balanced propagation delays and transition times. This contributes to its excellent performance in high-speed backplane and bus interface applications. The device operates over a broad voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and features a maximum output current of -24mA to +24mA, providing sufficient drive for most applications while maintaining low power consumption.

Packaged in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 48 pins, the SN74LVCH16244ADGG offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. The pinout is designed to match the byte-wide configuration, facilitating the design of byte or word-wide memory or data paths. The device also supports live insertion and withdrawal, minimizing system downtime during maintenance or upgrade procedures.

The SN74LVCH16244ADGG is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions. Its robust design and industry-standard footprint make it an ideal choice for telecommunications, computing, and industrial applications where high-speed, low-voltage operation is critical.

For detailed specifications and application notes, designers are encouraged to refer to the official Texas Instruments datasheets and product guides, which provide comprehensive information to ensure proper integration of the SN74LVCH16244ADGG into their systems.
