Product details
Overview
74ACTQ16245SSCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional transceiver with 3-STATE outputs, designed for high-speed bus interfacing in TTL-compatible systems. It features byte-level control (OE1/T/R1 and OE2/T/R2), ±24 mA output drive, guaranteed pin-to-pin skew ≤3.0 ns, and operates across 4.5–5.5 V at –40°C to +85°C. It is used in memory address/data bus isolation and microprocessor system expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACTQ16245SSCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include simultaneous switching noise immunity (VOLP ≤0.8 V), dynamic input thresholds (VIHD ≥2.0 V, VILD ≤0.8 V), and SSOP-48 package compatibility with JEDEC MO-118 footprint.
Technical Context
The 74ACTQ16245SSCX implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional buffer sections, each controlled by dedicated OE and T/R inputs. Directional data flow (A↔B) is determined by T/R logic level, while 3-STATE operation is enabled via active-low OE. Its FACT Quiet Series architecture ensures controlled edge rates and minimized ground bounce during multi-output switching.
It supports dual-load AC characterization (50 pF and 250 pF), with propagation delays specified up to 14.6 ns (tPLH, CL=250 pF, TA=85°C) and guaranteed output skew under simultaneous switching. The device does not integrate internal termination or level-shifting - it requires external pull-ups/downs and voltage-aligned buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails; no 3.3 V operation. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads at full speed without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.0 ns (tPLH, CL=50 pF, TA=85°C) - enables >100 MHz bus toggle rates in point-to-point configurations. |
| Pin-to-Pin Skew | ≤3.0 ns (tOST) - critical for timing-critical parallel bus synchronization (e.g., ISA, VME). |
| Simultaneous Switching Noise | VOLP ≤0.8 V (VCC=5.0 V) - limits ground bounce during 16-bit burst transfers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V - ensures robust noise margin against TTL-level signal degradation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
74ACTQ16245SSCX is packaged in a 48-lead Small Shrink Outline Package (SSOP), JEDEC MO-118 compliant, 0.300" wide, with 0.025" pitch. Thermal pad not present; lead finish is matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | A0–A15 | Side A bidirectional I/O - connects to local bus (e.g., CPU address/data); shares pins between input and output based on T/R state. |
| 17, 18 | OE1, T/R1 | Byte 1 control - OE1 active-low enables A0–A7/B0–B7; T/R1 HIGH routes A→B, LOW routes B→A. |
| 19–26, 27–34 | B0–B7, B8–B15 | Side B bidirectional I/O - connects to peripheral or memory bus; functionally identical to A-side but electrically isolated per byte. |
| 35, 36 | OE2, T/R2 | Byte 2 control - independently manages A8–A15/B8–B15; allows split-bus or interleaved addressing schemes. |
| 37, 48 | GND, VCC | Power terminals - dual GND (Pin 37) and dual VCC (Pin 48 + Pin 24) reduce supply impedance for quiet switching. |
| 24 | VCC | Primary power supply - must be decoupled locally with ≤100 nF ceramic capacitor near Pin 24. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FACT Quiet Series technology | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) via controlled output slew and internal GTO logic - eliminates need for external snubbers in dense PCB layouts. |
| Byte-selectable direction control | Enables independent A↔B routing for upper/lower bytes - supports partial-word transfers without full-bus arbitration. |
| Guaranteed 3-STATE disable timing | tPHZ ≤9.3 ns (max) - ensures clean bus release before next cycle begins, preventing contention in shared-memory systems. |
| Dynamic input threshold validation | VIHD ≥2.0 V / VILD ≤0.8 V measured under 1 MHz switching - confirms reliable sampling of noisy or slow-rising signals in real-world bus environments. |
| Load-flexible AC specs | AC parameters validated at both 50 pF and 250 pF - simplifies design reuse across low-capacitance backplanes and high-fanout daughterboards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT16245TTR | TSSOP-48 package (MTD48), same electrical specs; slightly wider body (6.1 mm vs. 7.5 mm SSOP), different thermal profile. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where SSOP footprint is unavailable; requires revalidation of decoupling layout due to different lead inductance. | Select when board area is constrained and JEDEC MO-153 compliance is required. |
| SN74ACT16245DGGR | Texas Instruments part in SSOP-48; identical pinout and DC specs, but AC delays differ (tPLH max 10.5 ns vs. 9.0 ns); no guaranteed VOLP spec published. | Suitable for non-noise-critical applications; lacks documented simultaneous switching noise validation per Fairchild's FACT Quiet Series methodology. | Choose only if TI sourcing preference exists and SSN margin is verified externally. |
Compared with 74ACTQ16245SSCX, the 74ACT16245TTR offers identical functionality in a thinner package but requires layout adaptation, while the SN74ACT16245DGGR provides pin compatibility with relaxed noise performance - making the 74ACTQ16245SSCX the preferred choice for high-integrity industrial bus isolation where ground bounce must be bounded.

FAQ
What is the maximum simultaneous output switching capability of the 74ACTQ16245SSCX?
The 74ACTQ16245SSCX is characterized for simultaneous switching of all 16 outputs, with noise metrics (VOLP, VOHP) measured under worst-case 16-bit toggle conditions at 1 MHz. Its FACT Quiet Series design guarantees VOLP ≤0.8 V and VOHP ≤(VOH −1.0) V under these conditions, enabling reliable operation in high-fanout bus environments without added termination.
Does the 74ACTQ16245SSCX support 3.3 V operation?
No, the 74ACTQ16245SSCX is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. It is not rated for 3.3 V logic interfaces. Attempting to operate the 74ACTQ16245SSCX below 4.5 V may result in undefined output states, increased propagation delay, and failure to meet VIH/VIL thresholds - use level translators or 3.3 V–compatible alternatives like the 74LVC16245 for mixed-voltage systems.
How are the OE and T/R inputs used together in the 74ACTQ16245SSCX?
In the 74ACTQ16245SSCX, OE (active-low) and T/R jointly control data flow: when OE is LOW and T/R is HIGH, data passes from A-side to B-side; when OE is LOW and T/R is LOW, data flows from B-side to A-side; when OE is HIGH, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state regardless of T/R. This dual-control scheme enables precise bus arbitration in multiprocessor or DMA systems.
Is the 74ACTQ16245SSCX pin-compatible with standard 74ACT245 variants?
Yes, the 74ACTQ16245SSCX maintains functional and pinout compatibility with the 74ACT245 family, including identical SSOP-48 pin mapping for A/B I/O, OE, and T/R signals. However, the "Q" suffix denotes Fairchild's Quiet Series enhancements - improved SSN behavior and tighter skew specs - without altering physical or logical connectivity.
What decoupling is recommended for stable operation of the 74ACTQ16245SSCX?
Each VCC pin (Pins 24 and 48) of the 74ACTQ16245SSCX must be decoupled with a minimum 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of the pin, plus a 4.7 µF tantalum or polymer capacitor per power domain. This mitigates supply droop during simultaneous 16-bit switching and ensures VOLP/VOLV remain within specification per Figure 1 and Figure 2 test conditions.
