The 74FCT16543T 16-bit high-speed, low-power latched transceiver is organized as two independent 8-bit D-type latched transceivers with separate input and output control to permit independent control of data flow in either direction. The 74FCT16543T is ideally suited for driving high-capacitance loads and low-impedance backplanes. The output buffers are designed with power off disable capability to allow "live insertion" of boards when used as backplane drivers. The 74FCT16543T operates at -40C to +85C
