description

This 16-bit buffer/driver is designed for 2.5-V to 3.6-V V_CC operation.

The SN74ALVCH16540 provides a high-performance bus interface for wide data paths.

The 3-state control gate is a 2-input AND gate with active-low inputs so that if either output-enable (or ) input is high, all corresponding outputs are in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, should be tied to V_CC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.

The SN74ALVCH16540 is available in TI's shrink small-outline package (DL), which provides twice the I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed-circuit-board area.

The SN74ALVCH16540 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
