BCT/FBT bus driver — 20-bit backplane buffer
The SN74BCT29823DW is a 20-bit bus driver from the BCT/FBT series, a BiCMOS logic family that balances the speed of bipolar with the power efficiency of CMOS. It drives heavily loaded backplanes or memory buses where the fan-out exceeds standard logic.
Active lifecycle — still in production
RoHS non-compliant — the part contains lead above the threshold. No RoHS exemption is claimed. This matters for projects with RoHS-only BOM mandates; a lead-bearing part may require a waiver or a separate BOM line for non-compliant assemblies.
Bulk packaging — tube or tray only
Supplied in Bulk — loose tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel. If your pick-and-place line expects embossed tape, you will need tube feeders or a tray handler. The package is a standard 24-pin SOIC (DW body width 7.5 mm).
