Device identity and key parametric
The 74FCT163H245CPACT is a 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver from Texas Instruments' FCT logic family, designed for high-speed data flow between two independent buses. It is listed under the Microcontrollers & Processors category, though functionally it is a logic-level translation and buffering component, not a processor core.
Package and supply format
Supplied in Bulk packaging, the 74FCT163H245CPACT ships as loose units — not tape-and-reel — which is typical for through-hole or larger surface-mount parts ordered in moderate quantities.
