16-bit bus transceiver with 64 mA output drive
The Renesas 74FCT16952ETPVG is a 16-bit non-inverting transceiver built on the 74FCT series, packing two 8-bit elements with 3-state outputs into a 56-SSOP package. Each element sources 32 mA and sinks 64 mA, giving the bus enough drive to fan out to multiple loads on a backplane without external buffers — useful in memory-interface or control-bus applications where the trace capacitance adds up.
Housed in a 56-lead SSOP (0.295" body width, 0.025" pitch) — the 7.50 mm-wide BSSOP footprint is a standard JEDEC outline that mates with common 0.65 mm-pitch SSOP land patterns. The surface-mount package suits reflow assembly; no special handling beyond standard MSL precautions. Supply decoupling should follow the 0.1 µF per VCC pin guideline typical for 5 V logic families — the 64 mA per-element sink current creates fast edges that demand local bypass to keep ground bounce within the 3-state noise margin.
