The VCX16838 contains sixteen non-inverting selectable buffered or registered paths. The device can be configured to operate in a registered, or flow through buffer mode by utilizing the register enable (REGE) and Clock (CLK) signals. The device operates in a 16-bit word wide mode. All outputs can be placed into 3-State through use of the OE# Pin. These devices are ideally suited for buffered or registered 168 pin and 200 pin SDRAM DIMM memory modules.

The 74VCX16838 is designed for low voltage (1.65V to 3.6V) V_CC applications with I/O compatibility up to 3.6V.

The 74VCX16838 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed operation while maintaining low CMOS power dissipation.
