Key Differentiators

  • 20-bit width in a single package (vs SN74ABT162245 (16-bit transceiver))
  • Flow-through architecture (vs SN74ABT162841DLR (TSSOP))
  • Hot insertion support (vs 74ABT162841DL (NXP))

Design Notes

The SN74ABT162841 has a flow-through architecture with inputs on one side and outputs on the other, which simplifies PCB layout. Use a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor near each VCC pin (pins 49-52) and connect all GND pins (11, 24, 35, 48, 53-56) to a solid ground plane. Keep traces short to minimize inductance and reduce ground bounce.

The outputs have equivalent 25-ohm series resistors, which help match impedance and reduce ringing. For long traces or high capacitive loads, consider adding external series resistors if needed. The device's low ground bounce (<0.8V) helps maintain signal integrity, but proper termination is still recommended for high-speed signals.

Ensure that the OE (output enable) inputs are not left floating; tie them to GND to enable outputs or to VCC to disable. The LE (latch enable) inputs should be driven with clean signals to avoid unintended latching. Also, do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, and ensure the supply voltage is within 4.5V to 5.5V to avoid damage.
