Product details
Overview
74ACTQ16541MTDX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with 3-STATE outputs, byte-controlled via dual independent OE inputs (OE1/OE2 for lower/upper byte), rated for 4.5–5.5 V operation, sourcing/sinking ±24 mA per output, and guaranteed pin-to-pin output skew ≤4.3 ns under 50 pF load. It serves as a memory/address bus driver in high-density digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACTQ16541MTDX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include simultaneous switching noise immunity (VOLP ≤0.8 V, VOHP ≤VOH+1.5 V), dynamic input thresholds (VIHD ≥2.0 V, VILD ≤0.8 V), and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with JEDEC MO-153 footprint.
Technical Context
The 74ACTQ16541MTDX implements two independent 8-bit buffer sections, each with dedicated active-low Output Enable (OEn) control, enabling selective 8-bit or full 16-bit bus driving without inter-byte timing coupling. Its FACT Quiet Series architecture incorporates GTO output control to suppress ground bounce and supply droop during multi-output switching.
AC performance is load-dependent: propagation delays range from 3.0 ns (tPLH, CL=50 pF) to 14.3 ns (tPLH, 16 outputs switching, CL=250 pF); 3-STATE enable/disable times are specified at 2.6–8.7 ns (CL=50 pF), while pin-to-pin skew is guaranteed ≤4.3 ns across all data-to-output transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and margin against supply ripple. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA per output - Supports direct drive of 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LSTTL loads. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–7.8 ns (CL = 50 pF) - Enables reliable operation in sub-100 MHz address/data bus applications. |
| Pin-to-Pin Skew | ≤4.3 ns - Guarantees deterministic timing alignment across all 16 outputs for synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Quiet Output Noise | VOLP ≤0.8 V, VOHP ≤VOH+1.5 V - Limits simultaneous switching noise to preserve signal integrity on shared VCC/GND planes. |
| Dynamic Input Thresholds | VIHD ≥2.0 V, VILD ≤0.8 V - Provides robust noise immunity against crosstalk and ground bounce in dense PCB layouts. |
| Package | TSSOP-48 (JEDEC MO-153, 6.1 mm wide) - Surface-mount footprint optimized for automated assembly and thermal dissipation in compact systems. |
Pinout & Package
74ACTQ16541MTDX is housed in a 48-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 6.1 mm body width, 0.5 mm lead pitch, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEn (OE1, OE2) | Active-low byte enable | Separate controls for I0–I7/O0–O7 (OE1) and I8–I15/O8–O15 (OE2); shorting enables full 16-bit operation. |
| I0–I15 | Non-inverting data inputs | Directly pass logic state to corresponding outputs when respective OEn is LOW; high-impedance when OEn HIGH. |
| O0–O15 | 3-STATE buffered outputs | Drive external bus/load when enabled; present high-impedance state (Z) when disabled-no contention on shared lines. |
| VCC, GND | Power and ground terminals | Dual VCC/GND pairs (pins 1/24/48 and 2/25/47) reduce switching noise coupling and improve decoupling effectiveness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FACT Quiet Series technology | Guaranteed simultaneous switching noise suppression (VOLP/VOLV, VOHP/VOHV) verified per Figure 1 test setup. |
| GTO output control | Reduces ground bounce and supply droop by controlling output transition timing relative to internal clock edges. |
| Byte-wise 3-STATE control | Independent OE1/OE2 allows interleaved or staggered bus access-critical for memory banking and multi-master arbitration. |
| Guaranteed output skew | ≤4.3 ns max tOST ensures deterministic timing across all 16 outputs, eliminating setup/hold violations in parallel buses. |
| High-drive capability | ±24 mA output current supports direct connection to unterminated 50 Ω traces or legacy TTL loads without external buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT16541DGGR | TI part in same TSSOP-48 package; identical pinout and DC specs, but AC timing slightly looser (tPLH max 8.5 ns vs. 7.8 ns @50 pF). | Valid for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 0.7 ns delay margin is acceptable; lacks Fairchild's GTO noise control architecture. | Select when sourcing flexibility is prioritized and noise-critical timing margins are not required. |
| 74LVC16244APAG | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA still met), but no guaranteed skew spec and no quiet-series noise characterization. | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3 V systems; requires level translation if interfacing with 5 V buses-adds component count and timing uncertainty. | Choose only for 3.3 V-native designs where 5 V tolerance and deterministic skew are not required. |
Compared with SN74ACT16541DGGR and 74LVC16244APAG, the 74ACTQ16541MTDX uniquely delivers guaranteed 4.3 ns skew, GTO-controlled quiet switching, and 5 V operation-all in a JEDEC MO-153 TSSOP package-making it irreplaceable in noise-sensitive, timing-critical 5 V bus architectures.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74ACTQ16541MTDX?
The 74ACTQ16541MTDX operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This range ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic systems while providing margin against supply rail variation. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as absolute maximum ratings specify VCC from –0.5 V to +7.0 V but reliable operation is only guaranteed within the recommended 4.5–5.5 V window per the datasheet.
Does the 74ACTQ16541MTDX support independent control of its upper and lower bytes?
Yes, the 74ACTQ16541MTDX features two independent active-low Output Enable inputs: OE1 controls outputs O0–O7 (lower byte), and OE2 controls O8–O15 (upper byte). This allows selective activation of either 8-bit segment or both together-enabling flexible bus partitioning, memory banking, or staggered data transfers without external logic.
What is the maximum guaranteed output skew for the 74ACTQ16541MTDX?
The 74ACTQ16541MTDX guarantees a maximum pin-to-pin output skew (tOST) of 4.3 ns under standard conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification applies to any combination of rising/falling transitions across all 16 outputs and is critical for maintaining setup/hold timing in synchronous parallel buses.
How does the 74ACTQ16541MTDX mitigate simultaneous switching noise?
The 74ACTQ16541MTDX uses Fairchild's FACT Quiet Series technology with GTO (Ground Transition Optimization) output control to minimize ground bounce and supply droop. Measured noise parameters include VOLP ≤0.8 V and VOHP ≤VOH+1.5 V under worst-case switching conditions (Figure 1 test setup), directly supporting signal integrity in high-density PCB layouts.
Is the 74ACTQ16541MTDX pin-compatible with other 16-bit ACT buffer families?
The 74ACTQ16541MTDX shares identical pinout and function with the 74ACT16541 and 74ACTQ16541SSC variants-differing only in package (TSSOP vs. SSOP). However, it is not pin-compatible with non-Q variants like 74ACT16244, which has different OE architecture (four 4-bit enables) and no guaranteed skew or quiet-series noise specs.
