16-ch, 4.5-V to 5.5-V buffers with TTL-compatible CMOS inputs and 3-state outputs

The 'ABT16241A devices are 16-bit buffers and line drivers designed specifically to improve both the performance and density of 3-state memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.

These devices can be used as four 4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. These devices provide true outputs and complementary output-enable (OE and OE\) inputs.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE\ should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver. OE should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the driver.

The SN54ABT16241A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ABT16241A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
