The IC component 74FCT162H245LBCTPA is a 16-bit transceiver with tri-state outputs. It is a member of the 74FCT family of integrated circuits, which are high-speed, low-power devices designed for general-purpose data transmission applications. The 74FCT162H245LBCTPA is specifically designed to support asynchronous communication between two buses of different voltage levels or buffering between a 3.3V and 5V system.
Key features of the 74FCT162H245LBCTPA include:
1. Tri-state outputs: Each of the 16 bidirectional I/O pins has a dedicated output enable (OE) control, allowing the outputs to be connected to the bus or isolated (tri-stated) from the bus. This feature enables multiple devices to share the same bus without data conflicts.
2. Dual supply voltage support: The 74FCT162H245LBCTPA is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems, making it ideal for interfacing between different voltage domains. The device has separate VCC and VCCO pins for the core and I/O buffers, allowing flexible voltage level configuration.
3. 16-bit bidirectional data flow: The component supports simultaneous bidirectional data transmission on all 16 channels. It can be used to buffer data from a lower-voltage bus to a higher-voltage bus or vice versa and ensures seamless communication between different subsystems
