DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

The 'LVT162244A devices are 16-bit buffers and line drivers designed for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation, but

with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment. These devices can be used as four

4-bit buffers, two 8-bit buffers, or one 16-bit buffer. These devices provide true outputs and symmetrical

active-low output-enable (OE) inputs.

The outputs, which are designed to source or sink up to 12 mA, include equivalent 22-W series resistors to

reduce overshoot and undershoot.

When VCC is between 0 and 1.5 V, the devices are in the high-impedance state during power up or power down.

However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor;

the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

These devices are fully specified for hot-insertion applications using Ioff and power-up 3-state. The Ioff circuitry

disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.

The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power down,

which prevents driver conflict.
