Product details
Overview
74FCT16245CTPAG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a FAST CMOS 16-bit bidirectional transceiver with dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit operation, ±32mA/64mA drive strength, 4.1ns max propagation delay (industrial grade), and hysteresis-equipped inputs for noise immunity. It serves as a high-speed bus interface between A- and B-side data paths in industrial backplane and synchronous communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT16245CTPAG datasheet, 74FCT16245CTPAG pinout, 74FCT16245CTPAG application, or 74FCT16245CTPAG equivalent, key selection criteria include output skew (<0.5ns), live-insertion support via power-off disable, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74FCT16245CTPAG implements two independent direction-control domains (1DIR/2DIR) and two output-enable controls (1OE/2OE), enabling flexible partitioning into two 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bit unit. Its dual-metal CMOS process delivers low static current (≤500µA) and supports operation across –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 5.0V ±10%.
All I/O pins feature hysteresis (≥100mV), clamp diodes (VIK ≤ –1.2V), and power-off leakage ≤±1µA at VCC = 0V. Output buffers are designed for low ground bounce (VOLP < 1.0V) and high-capacitance load driving-critical for backplane termination and hot-swap board interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - fixed single-rail operation; no internal regulation or multi-voltage support |
| Propagation Delay | Max 4.1ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50pF) - enables >200MHz bus handshaking in synchronous systems |
| Output Drive | –32mA IOH / +64mA IOL - drives terminated 50Ω backplanes and multiple TTL loads without external buffers |
| Input Hysteresis | ≥100mV - rejects high-frequency noise on shared control lines in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Output Skew | <0.5ns (tSK(o)) - ensures deterministic timing alignment across all 16 bits for parallel data capture |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±1µA at VCC = 0V - permits safe live insertion into powered backplanes without bus contention |
| ESD Rating | >2000V HBM, >200V MM - meets MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements for ruggedized industrial deployment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, Green, RoHS-compliant) with 0.5mm pitch; 12.5mm × 6.1mm body size; exposed pad not present; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control inputs (active HIGH) | Set data flow direction per 8-bit domain: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; overrides only when xOE is active |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable inputs (active LOW) | Force high-impedance state on respective 8-bit port; override xDIR and disable both A/B sides simultaneously |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Side-A I/O terminals | Bidirectional data ports connected to local bus or controller; internally buffered with hysteresis and drive capability |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Side-B I/O terminals | Bidirectional data ports connected to remote bus or backplane; same electrical specs as Side-A |
| VCC (Pins 11, 24, 37, 48) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise rejection across wide bus widths |
| GND (Pins 10, 23, 36, 47) | Ground reference | Four GND pins provide low-inductance return paths essential for clean switching of 16-bit parallel signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable outputs (IOFF ≤ ±1µA) prevent bus contention during hot-swap of daughterboards in modular systems |
| Dual-domain control | Independent 1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE allow asymmetric bus bridging-e.g., A→B on Port 1, B→A on Port 2 |
| Noise-immune inputs | Hysteresis ≥100mV eliminates false triggering from EMI on long traces or shared control buses |
| Backplane-optimized drive | –32mA/64mA output strength sustains signal integrity across 50Ω-terminated stubs up to 15cm in length |
| Low-skew timing | Guaranteed tSK(o) < 0.5ns ensures setup/hold margin preservation in high-speed parallel interfaces |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Modular PLC I/O Carrier |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT16245CPAG | Same pinout, identical AC/DC specs, but manufactured by Texas Instruments; lacks MIL-STD-883 screening option | Not qualified for military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C); limited to industrial grade only | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs require second-source availability without extended temp needs |
| 74LVCH16245APAG | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), lower drive (–24mA/24mA), higher propagation delay (max 5.6ns) | Designed for mixed-voltage 3.3V/5V system interfacing; incompatible with 5V-only legacy backplanes | Select only when migrating to 3.3V infrastructure and accepting reduced drive/speed trade-offs |
Compared with SN74FCT16245CPAG and 74LVCH16245APAG, the 74FCT16245CTPAG uniquely combines 5V operation, military-grade temperature support, live-insertion capability, and sub-0.5ns skew-making it irreplaceable in ruggedized, high-reliability backplane architectures where voltage, timing, and robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74FCT16245CTPAG?
The 74FCT16245CTPAG is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is explicitly defined in the ordering information and electrical characteristics tables of the official Renesas datasheet, and applies to the "CT" variant denoted in the part number. It does not support the extended military range (–55°C to +125°C) reserved for "54FCT" and "T" suffix variants.
Does the 74FCT16245CTPAG support live insertion, and how is this implemented?
Yes, the 74FCT16245CTPAG supports live insertion through its power-off disable functionality. When VCC = 0V, the I/O pins exhibit ≤±1µA off-state leakage (IOFF), placing them in a high-impedance state that prevents bus contention during hot-swap events. This behavior is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under "Input/Output Power Off Leakage" and is a defining feature of the FCT logic family.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for input voltage on the 74FCT16245CTPAG?
The 74FCT16245CTPAG specifies two absolute maximum input voltage ratings: –0.5V to +7.0V for non-I/O pins (e.g., xOE, xDIR), and –0.5V to VCC+0.5V for A-port and B-port I/O pins. These limits are documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and reflect the presence of internal clamp diodes, which conduct below –0.7V or above VCC+0.5V to protect the core circuitry.
Can the 74FCT16245CTPAG be used with 3.3V logic systems?
No, the 74FCT16245CTPAG is a 5V-only device. Its DC electrical specifications-including VIH (min 2.0V), VIL (max 0.8V), VOH (min 2.4V at –12mA), and VOL (max 0.55V at 64mA)-are guaranteed only at VCC = 5.0V ±10%. It lacks 3.3V tolerance or dual-supply capability, and interfacing directly with 3.3V systems risks violating input voltage limits or degrading noise margins.
How many independent control domains does the 74FCT16245CTPAG provide?
The 74FCT16245CTPAG provides two independent control domains: one for bits 1–8 (1DIR/1OE) and another for bits 9–16 (2DIR/2OE). This allows simultaneous but asymmetric operation-for example, transmitting A→B on the first byte while receiving B→A on the second byte-enabling flexible bus arbitration in custom protocol implementations.
