SN75ALS162: Smaller package device to realize GPIB implementation

Part Number: SN75ALS162

Hi,

I'm looking into devices such as SN75ALS162DWR & SN75ALS160DWR for backplane GPIB implementation & although both devices are targeted for such application but i'm facing space constraints for the moment. I'm in midst of looking for newer devices which offers similar performance but in a much smaller footprint & package. Hence appreciate if any suggestions can be provided.

Regards,

Leo

  • Hi Leo,

    I unfortunately don't know of any more modern updates to SN75ALS16x specifically, but I'll loop our logic buffer team in case there are any more general-purpose devices that could be used for this kind of application.

  • Hi Leo,
    Can you tell me more about your application? I'm not familiar with Max's parts, but I know the logic portfolio very well.

    What voltage / frequency do you need? How many channels? What the load from the backplane? Is there a common termination used, or are you designing this 'from scratch'?

    Any details you can give me would be helpful.
  • Hi,
    I'm using these devices to connect FPGA output pin to a GPIB connector which is a commonly used connector for Test & Measurement equipment. Connection is rather simple whereby GPIB I/O ports connected to external GPIB connector & Terminal I/O ports connected to FPGA. In such case of looking for potential replacements, is it okay to use devices which are not GPIB compliant?

  • Hi Leo,
    I didn't see a voltage or frequency anywhere in your reply. These are necessary information.
