The NXP 74ALVT16646DGG is a high-performance, bi-directional transceiver designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. It is part of NXP's advanced low-voltage technology family and is suitable for operation in 2.5V and 3.3V systems. This makes it an ideal choice for interfacing between different voltage domains in a mixed-voltage environment.

Key Features

• High-Speed Data Transfer: This device supports high-speed data transfer rates, making it suitable for high-performance computing and communication applications.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Designed to operate at 2.5V or 3.3V, the 74ALVT16646DGG is optimized for low-power consumption while maintaining signal integrity.
• 16-Bit Bidirectional Data Path: It features a 16-bit bus interface, allowing for efficient data transfer in either direction through the use of a direction control (DIR) pin.
• Output Enable (OE) Feature: The output enable (OE) function allows the user to place the output in high-impedance mode, thus preventing bus contention.
• Bus-Hold Data Inputs: The bus-hold feature on the data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying board design and reducing component count.
• Flow-Through Architecture: Its flow-through pinout arrangement facilitates easy PCB layout by reducing the need for cross-over traces, which in turn reduces signal skews and improves signal integrity.

Package and Quality

The 74ALVT16646DGG comes in a 48-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) which is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT). The package is designed for space-saving on PCBs and is widely used in modern electronic applications. NXP's commitment to quality ensures that this product meets stringent industry standards for performance and reliability.
