The 74FCT16245T 16-bit high-speed, low-power transceiver is ideal for synchronous communication between two busses. It can operate as either two independent 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bit transceiver. The 74FCT16245T is ideally suited for driving high-capacitance loads and low impedance backplanes. The output buffers are designed to allow "live insertion" of boards when used as backplane drivers. The 74FCT16245T operates at -40C to +85C. (For Mil version, see 54FCT16245T)
