The 74ALVCH16244 16-bit buffer/driver is designed specifically to improve the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters. The device can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. The 74ALVCH16244 has "bus-hold" which prevents floating inputs and eliminates the need for pull-up/down resistors. The 74ALVCH16244 operates at -40C to +85C
