16-bit buffer with 3-state outputs
The 74ALVCH162244PAG8 is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer from Renesas' 74ALVCH series, organized as four elements of four bits each with independent 3-state output control. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) means this buffer holds its timing and drive specs across the full range, not just at room temperature — relevant for outdoor telecom or factory-floor backplanes that see thermal cycling.
48-TSSOP footprint and surface-mount assembly
Housed in a 48-lead TFSOP (thin fine-pitch small-outline package) with a 6.10 mm body width, the 74ALVCH162244PAG8 also carries the supplier device package designation 48-TSSOP — the two names refer to the same physical footprint. Surface-mount assembly places the part on the board without through-holes, saving board area in dense digital designs where a 16-bit bus needs buffering close to the connector or memory interface.
