SN74ABT16241ADGGR - 16-Bit Buffers and Line Drivers with 3-State Outputs

The SN74ABT16241ADGGR is a high-performance integrated circuit designed by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor innovation. This IC is part of the ABT family, known for its advanced biCMOS technology, which combines the low power consumption of CMOS with the speed and drive capabilities of bipolar transistors. The SN74ABT16241ADGGR is specifically crafted to deliver efficient buffering and driving of bus lines in systems that require high-speed data transfer and minimal propagation delay.

This 16-bit buffer and line driver is equipped with two separate enable inputs (nOE1 and nOE2) that control four bits of the bus data for each enable pin. These enable inputs facilitate the use of the device as two independent 8-bit buffers or a single 16-bit buffer, providing flexibility for various applications. The 3-state outputs ensure that the device can be connected directly to a bus-structured configuration, allowing multiple outputs to interface with the bus without causing contention.

The SN74ABT16241ADGGR operates over a broad voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, which makes it compatible with many logic families and systems. Its inputs and outputs are designed to withstand ±200-mA continuous clamp current, ±12-mA continuous output current, and voltages of 5.5V, even when the device is powered off. This robustness adds to the reliability and longevity of the component in demanding environments.

Encased in a 48-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), the SN74ABT16241ADGGR is optimized for reduced space on printed circuit boards, making it an excellent choice for compact and high-density applications. This package also ensures improved thermal performance and signal integrity.

With its fast switching speed, high drive capability, and low power dissipation, the SN74ABT16241ADGGR is ideal for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors, memory devices, and as a general-purpose buffer in backplane and bus termination applications. Whether used in computing, networking, or industrial systems, this Texas Instruments product is a reliable and efficient solution for modern electronic designs.
