The document introduces the 74ABT16541 16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. The device features sixteen non-inverting buffers with 3-STATE outputs, which can be used as a memory and address driver, clock driver, or bus-oriented transmitter/receiver. It has separate control logic for each nibble and can be operated in 8-bit or 16-bit mode. The device has high sink and source capability, guaranteed switching noise level and latchup protection, as well as glitch-free bus loading and non-destructive hot insertion capability.
