74ACTQ16541 16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
June 1991
Revised May 2005
74ACTQ16541
16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The ACTQ16541 contains sixteen non-inverting buffers
with 3-STATE outputs designed to be employed as a mem-
ory and address driver, clock driver, or bus oriented trans-
mitter/receiver. The device is byte controlled. Each byte
has separate 3-STATE control inputs which can be shorted
together for full 16-bit operation.
The ACTQ16541 utilizes Fairchild Quiet Series
¥
technol-
ogy to guarantee quiet output switching and improved
dynamic threshold performance. FACT Quiet Series
¥
fea-
tures GTO
¥
output control for superior performance.

Functional Description
The ACTQ16541 contains sixteen non-inverting buffers
with 3-STATE standard outputs. The device is byte con-
trolled with each byte functioning identically, but indepen-
dent of the other. The control pins can be shorted together
to obtain full 16-bit operation. The 3-STATE outputs are
controlled by an Output Enable (OE
n
) input for each byte.
When OE
n
is LOW, the outputs are in 2-state mode. When
OE
n
is HIGH, the outputs are in the high impedance mode,
but this does not interfere with entering new data into the
inputs.

r
0.5V.
Note 10:
Skew is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the actual propagation delays for any two separate outputs of the same device.
The specification applies to any outputs switching HIGH-to-LOW (t
OSHL
), LOW-to-HIGH (t
OSLH
), or any combination switching LOW-to-HIGH and/or HIGH-
to-LOW (t
OST
).
Note 11:
This specification is guaranteed but not tested. The limits apply to propagation delays for all paths described switching in phase
(i.e., all LOW-to-HIGH, HIGH-to-LOW, etc.).
Note 12:
This specification is guaranteed but not tested. The limits represent propagation delays with 250 pF load capacitors in place of the 50 pF load
capacitors in the standard AC load. This specification pertains to single output switching only.
Note 13:
3-STATE delays are load dominated and have been excluded from the datasheet.
Note 14:
The Output Disable Time is dominated by the RC Network (500
:
, 250 pF) on the output and has been excluded from the datasheet.

FACT Noise Characteristics
The setup of a noise characteristics measurement is critical
to the accuracy and repeatability of the tests. The following
is a brief description of the setup used to measure the
noise characteristics of FACT.
Equipment:
Hewlett Packard Model 8180A Word Generator
PC-163A Test Fixture
Tektronics Model 7854 Oscilloscope
Procedure:
1. Verify Test Fixture Loading: Standard Load 50 pF,
500
:
.
2. Deskew the HFS generator so that no two channels
have greater than 150 ps skew between them. This
requires that the oscilloscope be deskewed first. It is
important to deskew the HFS generator channels
before testing. This will ensure that the outputs switch
simultaneously.
3. Terminate all inputs and outputs to ensure proper load-
ing of the outputs and that the input levels are at the
correct voltage.
4. Set the HFS generator to toggle all but one output at a
frequency of 1 MHz. Greater frequencies will increase
DUT heating and effect the results of the measure-
ment.
5. Set the HFS generator input levels at 0V LOW and 3V
HIGH for ACT devices and 0V LOW and 5V HIGH for
AC devices. Verify levels with an oscilloscope.

:
• Determine the quiet output pin that demonstrates the
greatest noise levels. The worst case pin will usually be
the furthest from the ground pin. Monitor the output volt-
ages using a 50
:
coaxial cable plugged into a standard
SMB type connector on the test fixture. Do not use an
active FET probe.
• Measure V
OLP
and V
OLV
on the quiet output during the
worst case transition for active and enable. Measure
V
OHP
and V
OHV
on the quiet output during the worst
case for active and enable transition.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
V
ILD
and V
IHD
:
• Monitor one of the switching outputs using a 50
:
coaxial
cable plugged into a standard SMB type connector on
the test fixture. Do not use an active FET probe.
• First increase the input LOW voltage level, V
IL
, until the
output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input LOW voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
ILD
.
• Next decrease the input HIGH voltage level, V
IH
, until
the output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input HIGH voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
IHD
.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
Note A:
V
OHV
and V
OLP
are measured with respect to ground reference.
Note B:
Input pulses have the following characteristics: f = 1 MHz,

= 3 ns, t
f
