I'm working on a controller to drive some long >1m bidirectional
lines that require 220/330 termination and 48 ma. drive current
capability. For sake of argument, call them SCSI-1 SE (but they're
not SCSI (or HPIB)).
I'm finding that my choices are pretty limited. I could use a
74F621, 74FCT621 (CMOS) or a good old 75160. All appear to be within
the same approximate price range.
Can anyone make any recommendations?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck
You can always parallel outputs of something like a '244 or
similar. I've done this in the past when I needed more drive.
The CMOS versions share well but the TTL versions don't.
I found that if using TTL, I had to over spec by 100% to get
good sharing while the CMOS I found about +25% worked quite well.

you probably want to use a slower part (ls641) for a cable driver.

48 ma. is the stumbling block there--ISTR that LS is rated for 24 ma.
AS/S/F/FCT are all rated for 48.
Futurlec has the 75160B for $1.90 the each, so I'm inclined to go
that way.
Dwight, I could parallel a 244, but that'd double the package count
and not be OC, so I'm less inclined to take that approach.
