Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX162244 Low Voltage Buffer Datasheet
The 74LCX162244 is an advanced CMOS device containing sixteen non-inverting buffers with 3-STATE outputs. It features equivalent 26Ω series resistors in the outputs to reduce overshoot and undershoot, making external termination unnecessary for many applications.
Designed for low voltage (2.5V or 3.3V) environments, the device can interface with a 5V signal environment. The outputs are capable of driving up to +12 mA at Vcc = 3.0V. The chip is nibble-controlled, allowing separate control inputs for each group of four bits.
