The Infineon CY74FCT16374ETPAC is a 16-bit bus driver from the FCT series, designed to buffer and drive high-capacitance backplanes or memory-array address/data lines in digital systems. Its FCT logic family gives it a balanced combination of speed and output drive, making it a fit for bus-oriented boards in telecom, industrial control, and legacy computing equipment where 5 V tolerant inputs are still the norm.
Active lifecycle and RoHS note
Designs that require full RoHS compliance for lead-free assembly will need to select a different variant or accept a waiver for legacy/repair applications.
Packaging and handling
the CY74FCT16374ETPAC is typically supplied in tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel. For a pick-and-place line, plan to transition to a tape-compatible variant or handle the parts in tube feeders.
