The CY74FCT16952ATPVC is a dual 8-bit non-inverting transceiver from Cypress's 74FCT family, with 3-state outputs on both ports. Two independent 8-bit elements let it handle a 16-bit data path or two separate 8-bit buses in one package.
56-pin SSOP — rework and layout notes
Fine-pitch but still hand-reworkable with hot air if you preheat the board and use a wide nozzle. The 56-SSOP has a moderate thermal mass; a 30-second preheat at 150°C before reflow helps avoid pad lifting. No exposed pad, so all heat goes through the leads — keep the soldering iron tip clean and use a chisel bit for the outer rows if touch-up is needed.
Not a full mil-spec part, but the industrial range covers most commercial and light-industrial use without a cost premium.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
For BOM planning, there is no imminent obsolescence risk, but as with any 5V logic device, the broader industry trend toward lower voltages means long-term availability is worth tracking.
