The 16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver is for bus interface or signal buffering applications requiring high speed and low power dissipation. These devices have a flow through pin organization, and shrink packaging to simplify board layout. All inputs are designed with hysteresis for improved noise margin. The three-state controls allow independent 4-bit, 8-bit or combined 16-bit operation. These parts are plug in replacements for 54/74ABT16244 where higher speed, lower noise or lower power dissipation levels are desired. The FCT16244T/AT/CT/ET are ideally suited for driving high capacitance loads (>200pF) and low impedance backplanes. These "high drive" buffers are designed with power off disable capability to allow "live insertion" of boards when used in a backplane interface. The FCT162244T/AT/CT/ET have balanced output current levels and current limiting resistors. These offer low ground bounce, minimal undershoot, and controlled output fall times, reducing the need for external series terminating resistors while still providing very high speed operation for loads of less than 200pF.
