Product details
Overview
74FCT16245ETPVG8 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 capability, <3.2ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables synchronous bus-to-bus communication in backplane and high-capacitance load applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 datasheet, 74FCT16245ETPVG8 pinout, 74FCT16245ETPVG8 application, or 74FCT16245ETPVG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include output skew (<0.5ns), power-off disable for live insertion, hysteresis-enhanced noise margin, and TSSOP-48 green package compliance.
Technical Context
The 74FCT16245ETPVG8 implements two independent direction-controlled 8-bit transceivers (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B) via dedicated xDIR/xOE inputs per side. Its dual-metal CMOS process delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and rail-to-rail output swing under 5.0V ±10% supply.
Output buffers feature active power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±1μA at VCC = 0V), enabling hot-swap capability. Propagation delay asymmetry is minimized by design: tSK(o) < 0.5ns across all outputs switching in the same direction, critical for timing-critical parallel bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - supports standard TTL/CMOS logic level compatibility |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤3.2ns @ CL=50pF - ensures sub-4ns data path latency for 300+ MHz bus timing |
| IOH / IOL | –32mA / +64mA - drives heavy loads including unterminated backplanes and multi-drop buses |
| tSK(o) | <0.5ns - guarantees tight output alignment for parallel data capture without skew-induced setup violations |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0V min / 0.8V max - provides robust noise immunity with 100mV hysteresis on all inputs |
| Power-off Leakage | ±1μA @ VCC=0V - enables safe live insertion without bus contention or damage |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, telecom infrastructure, and embedded computing |
Pinout & Package
74FCT16245ETPVG8 is housed in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), lead-free and RoHS-compliant (Green designation "PVG"). The package features 0.5mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), and JEDEC MO-153AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Inputs | Active-HIGH control: HIGH = A→B flow; LOW = B→A flow per 8-bit section |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Inputs | Active-LOW: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces both ports into high-Z state |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Side-A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines for Bus A; internally 3-state with hysteresis |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Side-B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data lines for Bus B; identical electrical specs to Side-A |
| VCC (Pins 10, 20, 30, 40) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise rejection across wide bus |
| GND (Pins 9, 19, 29, 39, 48) | Ground | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±1μA) prevents backdrive and bus contention during board hot-swap |
| High-noise-margin inputs | Hysteresis ≥100mV eliminates false triggering from EMI or ground bounce on shared control lines |
| Low-output skew | tSK(o) < 0.5ns ensures simultaneous valid data arrival across all 16 bits for reliable latch capture |
| Backplane-optimized drive | 64mA sink current sustains signal integrity driving >50pF/cm trace capacitance on long parallel runs |
| Industrial temp qualification | Full functionality verified from –40°C to +85°C with no derating required for timing or drive strength |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT16245ATPVG | Slower tPLH/tPHL (max 4.1ns vs 3.2ns); same pinout, package, and drive strength | Suitable where 250MHz bus timing margin permits longer propagation delay | Select when lower cost is prioritized over maximum speed; identical layout and firmware integration |
| 74LVCH16245APAG | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V); LVCMOS levels; lower drive (±24mA); different pinout | Requires level translation for 5V systems; not drop-in compatible with 74FCT16245ETPVG8 | Choose only for new 3.3V designs needing lower power; redesign required for voltage and pin mapping |
Compared with SN74FCT16245ATPVG and 74LVCH16245APAG, the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 delivers the fastest propagation delay in the FCT family while maintaining full 5V compatibility, live-insertion safety, and industrial temperature resilience-making it optimal for timing-critical, mixed-voltage backplane systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74FCT16245ETPVG8?
The 74FCT16245ETPVG8 does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.2ns) and output skew (<0.5ns) enable reliable operation on buses toggling up to 250–300MHz, assuming proper PCB layout, termination, and load capacitance ≤50pF. System-level timing must account for board trace delays and setup/hold margins at the receiving device.
Does the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3V and 5V domains?
No-the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 operates exclusively from a 5.0V ±10% supply and features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). While it can interface with 3.3V logic outputs (if VOH ≥ 2.0V), it cannot be powered from 3.3V nor safely drive 3.3V-only inputs without level translation due to its 5V output swing.
How does the power-off disable feature of the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 work during live insertion?
When VCC drops to 0V, the 74FCT16245ETPVG8's IOFF leakage remains ≤ ±1μA on all I/O pins, placing them in a high-impedance, non-driving state. This prevents backfeeding, bus contention, or latch-up when the device is inserted into a powered backplane-enabling true "live insertion" without disrupting system operation or damaging connected components.
Can the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 be used as two independent 8-bit transceivers?
Yes-the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 integrates two fully independent 8-bit transceiver sections (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B), each with dedicated direction (1DIR/2DIR) and output enable (1OE/2OE) controls. This allows simultaneous bidirectional data transfer across separate bus segments-for example, CPU-to-peripheral and DMA-to-memory paths-without internal coupling or timing interaction.
What is the significance of hysteresis on the 74FCT16245ETPVG8 inputs?
The 74FCT16245ETPVG8 incorporates ≥100mV input hysteresis on all control and data pins, raising the effective VIH threshold when transitioning from LOW to HIGH and lowering the effective VIL threshold when transitioning from HIGH to LOW. This suppresses chatter caused by slow edges or noise on shared control lines (e.g., xOE/xDIR bused across multiple devices), ensuring glitch-free direction and enable state transitions.
