74LVTH16244TSS

Detailed Description:

The 74LVTH16244TSS by Texas Instruments is a 16-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state outputs, part of the LVT (Low-Voltage BiCMOS Technology) family. This integrated circuit is designed to provide high-speed drive with the capability of working with low-voltage power supplies, ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V. Its primary function is to increase the drive capability of bus lines, signal lines, or memory address registers while maintaining speed and reducing the power consumption typically associated with higher voltage levels. The buffer also incorporates bus-hold data inputs, eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors and ensuring stability in open-bus conditions. The TSS suffix indicates a Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, which is ideal for space-saving applications in today’s increasingly compact electronic devices. This IC finds extensive use in memory address driving and bus interface or buffering applications across various digital systems, where its ability to operate under low voltage with high-speed performance is particularly advantageous.
