74FCT162827NCTPA

The 74FCT162827NCTPA is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that falls under the category of digital logic devices. It is designed and manufactured by IDT (Integrated Device Technology), a leading semiconductor company. The IC belongs to the FCT series, which stands for Fast CMOS TTL. The 74FCT162827NCTPA is an 18-bit buffer and line driver with 3-state outputs. It is primarily used in bus-oriented systems to drive heavily capacitive loads while minimizing the load on the system's bus drivers. The IC can handle large capacitive loads and has a high switching speed, making it ideal for high-speed applications. Key features of the 74FCT162827NCTPA include: 1. 18-bit Buffer: The IC has 18 buffered inputs and 18 buffered outputs that can drive the signals effectively. 2. 3-state Outputs: The outputs of this IC are 3-state, meaning they can be in three different states: high logic level, low logic level, or high-impedance state. The high-impedance state allows multiple devices to be connected in parallel to a bus line. 3. Latch-Up Protection: The IC has built-in latch-up protection circuits that prevent damage to the device during high-voltage or high-current transients. 4. Power Supply: It requires a single power supply with a voltage range between 4.5V and 5
