The VCX162240 contains sixteen inverting buffers with 3-STATE outputs to be employed as a memory and address driver, clock driver, or bus oriented transmitter/receiver. The device is nibble (4-bit) controlled. Each nibble has separate 3-STATE control inputs which can be shorted together for full 16-bit operation.

The 74VCX162240 is designed for low voltage (1.4V to 3.6V) V_CC applications with I/O capability up to 3.6V. The 74VCX162240 is also designed with 26ohm series resistors in the outputs. This design reduces line noise in applications such as memory address drivers, clock drivers, and bus transceivers/transmitters.

The 74VCX162240 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed operation while maintaining low CMOS power dissipation.
