74VCX16838 Low Voltage 16-Bit Selectable Register/Buffer with 3.6V Tolerant Inputs and Outputs
July 1997
Revised June 2005
74VCX16838
Low Voltage 16-Bit Selectable Register/Buffer
with 3.6V Tolerant Inputs and Outputs
General Description
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) sig-
nals. 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 regis-
tered 168 pin and 200 pin SDRAM DIMM memory mod-
ules.
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 maintain-
ing low CMOS power dissipation.

Note 1:
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power
down, OE should be tied to V
CC
through a pull-up resistor; the minimum
value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the
driver.

Functional Description
The 74VCX16838 consists of sixteen selectable non-invert-
ing buffers or registers with word wide modes. Mode func-
tionality is selected through operation of the CLK and
REGE pin as shown by the truth table. When REGE is held
at a logic HIGH the device operates as a 16-bit register.
Data is transferred from I
n
to O
n
on the rising edge of the
CLK input. When the REGE pin is held at a logic LOW the
device operates in a flow through mode and data propa-
gates directly from the I to the O outputs. All outputs can be
3-STATE by holding the OE pin at a logic HIGH.

Note 2:
The Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the Absolute Maximum Rat-
ings. The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the condi-
tions for actual device operation.
Note 3:

Absolute Maximum Rating must be observed.
