Bus driver for wide data paths
The Cypress CY74FCT163244CPACT is a 16-bit bus driver from the FCT (Fast CMOS TTL) series, designed to buffer and drive heavily loaded data buses in digital systems. It accepts TTL-level inputs and provides CMOS-level outputs with high output drive capability, making it suitable for memory address/data lines, backplane interfaces, and processor bus isolation.
Active lifecycle, RoHS flag
A key BOM consideration: the part is RoHS non-compliant (per), so it is intended for legacy or exempt assemblies where lead-bearing solder is permitted. For RoHS-compliant designs, a lead-free alternative from the same FCT family should be evaluated.
