description

The 'ALVTH16244 are 16-bit buffers/line drivers designed for 2.5-V or 3.3-V V_CC operation, but with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment. These devices can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer.

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

When V_CC is between 0 and 1.2 V, the device is in the high-impedance state during power up or power down. However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.2 V, 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.

The SN74ALVTH16244 is available in TI's thin very small-outline package (DGV), which provides the same I/O pin count and functionality of standard Widebus packages in less than half the printed circuit board area.

The SN54ALVTH16244 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALVTH16244 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
