The SN74ALB16245DGGR is a high-performance, 16-bit bus transceiver from Texas Instruments' 74ALB series, designed for 3V to 3.6V voltage operation. This non-inverting transceiver integrates two 8-bit elements, enabling bidirectional data flow between buses. Packaged in a 48-pin TSSOP with tape-and-reel (TR) delivery, it is optimized for surface-mount applications. Although marked as obsolete, it remains compliant with ROHS3 and REACH environmental standards, making it suitable for legacy designs requiring reliable signal buffering and level translation.
The SN74ALB16245DGGR offers a robust solution for bidirectional bus communication in 3.3V systems, combining high drive capability with compact packaging. While obsolete, its low-power operation, compliance with environmental standards, and reliability make it a pragmatic choice for legacy or cost-sensitive applications. Engineers should evaluate alternative active models for new designs but can leverage this IC for long-lifecycle projects requiring proven performance.
