What are the key features of 74AHC16540DGVRE4?

  • 16-bit inverting bus driver with dual independent active-low output enable pins, allowing two 8-bit buses to be independently controlled from a single device
  • AHC (Advanced High-speed CMOS) logic family delivering fast propagation delays under 6 ns while maintaining low power consumption on 3.3 V or 5 V supplies
  • 3-state outputs with 8 mA sink current enabling connection to shared data buses without bus contention when the device is not driving
  • 48-pin TSSOP (DGVR) fine-pitch package minimizing PCB footprint for dense multi-bus interface boards and memory expansion designs
  • E4 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant packaging meeting modern environmental requirements for consumer and industrial electronics manufacturing

What is 74AHC16540DGVRE4 used for?

74AHC16540DGVRE4 is used in address and data bus buffering on microprocessor boards where 16-bit parallel buses must be driven across long PCB traces or through connectors with capacitive loading above 50 pF. It is well suited for FPGA I/O expansion designs where dual 8-bit bus segments need independent enable control to isolate subsystem data paths. The AHC speed grade also makes it appropriate for memory interface boards where bus turnaround times under 10 ns are necessary for high-frequency SRAM or FIFO access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide is the data bus that 74AHC16540DGVRE4 can drive, and how are the outputs organized?

74AHC16540DGVRE4 drives a 16-bit wide data bus, organized as two independent 8-bit banks each controlled by its own active-low output enable pin. This dual-bank structure allows the device to serve two separate 8-bit buses simultaneously or to selectively tri-state one bank while the other drives, a key advantage in split-bus or mux-demux backplane designs.

What logic family does 74AHC16540DGVRE4 belong to, and how fast are its outputs?

74AHC16540DGVRE4 belongs to the AHC (Advanced High-speed CMOS) logic family, which combines CMOS low-power consumption with propagation delays typically under 6 ns at 3.3 V. This speed is approximately 3 times faster than standard HC logic (18 ns typical) and enables reliable bus operation at clock rates above 100 MHz in buffered memory or peripheral interface applications.

Can 74AHC16540DGVRE4 drive multiple memory chips in parallel on a shared address bus?

Yes, 74AHC16540DGVRE4 can drive multiple memory chips in parallel. Each 3-state output sinks up to 8 mA and sources comparable current, sufficient to charge the combined input capacitance of 4 to 8 standard CMOS memory devices (each with 5 pF–10 pF input capacitance) within a 6 ns propagation budget. For heavier loads exceeding 50 pF total, an additional series termination resistor of 22 ohm to 33 ohm is recommended to suppress ringing.

Which package does 74AHC16540DGVRE4 use, and what are the key differences from a DIP equivalent?

74AHC16540DGVRE4 uses a 48-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, occupying roughly 70% less board area than a comparable 48-pin DIP package. The TSSOP is SMT-only, so it requires a reflow soldering process; however, the reduced parasitic inductance from the shorter leads improves signal integrity at frequencies above 50 MHz compared to through-hole DIP alternatives.
