The 74FCT163245CPAG is a 16-bit non-inverting transceiver with 3-state outputs, organized as two 8-bit elements. Output drive is rated 8mA source and 24mA sink — the asymmetric sink strength handles capacitive loads on long PCB traces without needing external buffers on the low side.
48-TSSOP footprint and surface-mount assembly
Supplied in a 48-TFSOP package (0.240" body width, 6.10mm) with a 48-TSSOP supplier device package designation. The 0.50mm pitch fine-pitch TSSOP demands a controlled solder-paste stencil and a reflow profile matching JEDEC MSL level — no moisture-sensitive bake is needed if the floor life is respected. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, covering industrial ambient conditions. The 3-state outputs allow bus sharing on a common backplane without contention during power sequencing.
