54ACTQ16245FMQB; 16-BIT TRANSCEIVER - Circuit Schematic

Hi,

We've procured part number 54ACTQ16245FMQB (16-BIT TRANSCEIVER WITH THREE-STATE OUTPUTS) from National Semiconductor. Since TI acquired NSC in 2011, Can you provide a circuit schematic for this part number?

Thanks,

  • Hi Brian,

    I'm not sure there is still a circuit schematic available.  What type of information about the device do you want to understand?

    Regards,

  • Hi Lee,

    We're performed failure analysis on this part. We're trying to understand the layout of the device so we know what we're looking at under high magnification using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also having the schematic would help us trace out possible paths of potential ESD damage sites.

  • Hi Brian,

    Several engineers have looked through design folders from that timeframe.  We did not find any design schematics from the logic devices.  All I could find is a generic graphic from a period datasheet.  The input on these devices was fairly standard CMOS.  The outputs were split into several smaller pieces to implement the Gradual Turn-On scheme to reduce the output edge rate and device noise.
