16-bit bus buffer with 24 mA drive
The 74FCT162244ATPVC: This is a 16-bit buffer organized as four 4-bit elements, each with non-inverting outputs and independent 3-state control. The symmetrical 24 mA source and sink capability per channel is enough to drive moderate capacitive loads on a 5 V backplane or memory bus without external line drivers.
Housed in a 48-lead BSSOP with a 7.50 mm body width (0.300-inch), the footprint matches the industry-standard 48-SSOP land pattern. The 0.635 mm pitch requires a fine-pitch soldering profile but is well within the capability of standard reflow ovens. No exposed thermal pad — the package relies on the leadframe for heat dissipation.
RoHS non-compliant — verify BOM requirements
Texas Instruments lists this part as RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead in the solder finish or internal construction. This is acceptable for applications with a RoHS exemption (e.g., military, aerospace, or medical life-support equipment) or for legacy repair where leaded solder is required. Confirm your assembly house's policy before committing the BOM line.
Sourcing posture
As an active Texas Instruments part, the 74FCT162244ATPVC is sourced through authorized distribution and independent channels.
