Bus transceiver for backplane data paths
The 74ACT16864DL is a bus transceiver from Texas Instruments, designed to drive and receive data on bidirectional bus lines in backplane or memory-mapped I/O subsystems.
RoHS non-compliance and compliance documentation
The 74ACT16864DL is marked RoHS non-compliant per the lifecycle record, which means it contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS exemption thresholds — a factor for BOMs that require full RoHS conformance for EU or California markets.
Package form and board integration
Supplied in Bulk packaging, the 74ACT16864DL is a through-hole or surface-mount device depending on the specific variant — the Bulk descriptor indicates loose-tube or tray delivery rather than tape-and-reel, which affects pick-and-place setup for high-volume assembly. The bus transceiver function with 3-state outputs suits shared data bus architectures where multiple drivers share a common line, common in memory-mapped peripheral buses or backplane logic.
