The SN74ABT162244DL is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments' 74ABT family, packaged in a 48-lead SSOP (0.295" body width). It buffers four 4-bit banks independently, each with its own output-enable control, so a single device can drive a 16-bit data bus or be split into narrower lanes.
Output drive and signal-integrity margin
This drive strength is enough to switch the capacitive load of a short backplane trace or a handful of CMOS inputs without needing an external line driver, but it will not push a long unterminated bus — the 12 mA limit means the edge rate into a 50 pF load is moderate, so the layout still matters for signal integrity above 50 MHz.
