Product details
Overview
74ABT16541CSSCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with independent 3-STATE outputs, designed for memory and address bus driving, clock distribution, and bidirectional bus transmission. It features byte-level control (OE1/OE2), ±32 mA output drive (32 mA source / 64 mA sink), 4.5–5.5 V supply operation, and guaranteed simultaneous switching noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT16541CSSCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3-STATE timing (tPZH ≤ 5.2 ns), output drive strength (IOL = 64 mA), dual-nibble enable architecture, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with JEDEC MO-118.
Technical Context
The 74ABT16541CSSCX implements two independent 8-bit buffer sections, each controlled by dedicated active-low OE inputs (OE1 for I0–I7/O0–O7; OE2 for I8–I15/O8–O15). Its ABT logic family delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and rail-to-rail output swing under load.
It guarantees latchup protection per JEDEC JESD78, supports hot insertion without damage, and maintains high-impedance glitch-free bus loading across full power-up/down cycles. Propagation delays are specified at CL = 50 pF (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns) and skew is bounded (tOST ≤ 2.0 ns).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74ABT16541CSSCX?
The 74ABT16541CSSCX supports a maximum toggle frequency of 100 MHz under specified conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40 °C to +85 °C, CL = 50 pF). This rating is derived from AC electrical characteristics including tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.9 ns and tOST ≤ 2.0 ns, ensuring reliable timing margins in high-speed address and data bus applications. The 74ABT16541CSSCX achieves this performance without requiring external termination or biasing networks.
Does the 74ABT16541CSSCX support hot insertion, and what design features enable this?
Yes, the 74ABT16541CSSCX supports non-destructive hot insertion, enabled by internal circuitry that prevents latchup and limits I/O stress during partial power-up. Key features include guaranteed latchup protection per JEDEC JESD78, high-impedance glitch-free behavior across full power cycling, and input/output structures rated for –0.5 V to 7.0 V. These ensure the 74ABT16541CSSCX remains undamaged and electrically benign when inserted into a live 5 V backplane.
How are the OE1 and OE2 pins used in the 74ABT16541CSSCX, and can they be tied together?
The OE1 and OE2 pins on the 74ABT16541CSSCX independently control the 3-STATE outputs for the lower (O0–O7) and upper (O8–O15) bytes. They are active-low and may be shorted together for unified 16-bit operation, or driven separately for nibble-selective bus gating. This flexibility allows the 74ABT16541CSSCX to serve both full-width and segmented bus architectures without external logic, preserving timing integrity and reducing component count.
What is the output voltage swing specification for the 74ABT16541CSSCX at full load?
At full load (IOL = 64 mA), the 74ABT16541CSSCX guarantees VOL ≤ 0.55 V (min) and VOH ≥ 2.0 V (min at IOH = 32 mA) over the full operating temperature and voltage range. These values reflect actual drive capability into real-world bus loads, not just light test conditions. The 74ABT16541CSSCX maintains these levels while delivering simultaneous switching noise immunity - critical for maintaining signal integrity in dense memory subsystems.
Is the 74ABT16541CSSCX pin-compatible with other 16-bit ABT buffers such as the 74ABT16244?
No, the 74ABT16541CSSCX is not pin-compatible with the 74ABT16244. While both are 16-bit ABT buffers, the 74ABT16244 uses inverted outputs and different pin assignments (e.g., OE grouping, power pin locations). The 74ABT16541CSSCX has dedicated OE1/OE2 pins and a specific SSOP-48 layout per package number MS48A. Substitution requires schematic and layout revision - verify against Fairchild DS012149 and the 74ABT16541CSSCX physical dimensions drawing before redesign.
