The SN74ALVTH162244DL from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, 16-bit non-inverting buffer/driver designed for 2.5V/3.3V voltage applications. Housed in a 48-pin SSOP package, this IC operates across dual voltage ranges (2.3V–2.7V and 3V–3.6V), making it versatile for mixed-voltage systems. With 4-bit elements (4 elements total), it offers robust signal integrity and low-power consumption, ideal for high-speed data transmission. The device is RoHS3 compliant and features 8mA/12mA (2.5V) and 12mA/12mA (3.3V) output drive, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Although marked as obsolete, it remains a reliable choice for legacy designs requiring stable buffering solutions.
The SN74ALVTH162244DL excels in high-speed, low-voltage applications with its dual-range operation and strong output drive. While obsolete, its ALVTH technology, RoHS compliance, and reliability make it a preferred buffer for legacy and mixed-voltage designs. Engineers in networking, automotive, and industrial sectors can leverage its performance for robust signal conditioning and voltage-level translation. For new designs, consider TI's active alternatives, but this IC remains a proven solution for existing systems.
