16-bit bus transceiver in 48-TSSOP
The 74FCT16245ATPAG8 is a 16-bit non-inverting transceiver with 3-state outputs, built in the 74FCT series by Renesas. Two 8-bit elements each have independent direction and output-enable controls, so a single package handles bidirectional data flow on a 16-bit bus.
Output drive and supply rail
Sourced 32 mA and sinks 64 mA per output — enough to drive a heavily loaded parallel bus or backplane without external buffers.
Package and tape-and-reel logistics
The -TAPG8 suffix signals Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) delivery, so it feeds directly into a pick-and-place line without retooling from a tube-packaged sibling like the 74FCT16245ATPVG.
