Product Description
Pericom Semiconductor’s PI74FCT series of logic circuits are produced in the Company’s advanced 0.6 micron CMOS technology, achieving industry leading speed grades.
The PI74FCT16540T, PI74FCT162540T, and PI74FCT162H540T are inverting 16-bit buffer/line drivers designed for applications driving high capacitance loads and low impedance backplanes. These high-speed, low power devices offer bus/backplane interface capability and a flow-through organization for ease of board layout. These devices are designed with three-state controls to operate in a Quad-Nibble, Dual-Byte, or a single 16-bit word mode.
The PI74FCT16540T output buffers are designed with a Power-Off disable allowing "live insertion" of boards when used as backplane drivers.
The PI74FCT162540T has ±24 mA balanced output drivers. It is designed with current limiting resistors at its outputs to control the output edge rate resulting in lower ground bounce and undershoot. This eliminates the need for external terminating resistors for most interface applications.
