Product details
Overview
74FCT162646ETPVCT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC with balanced 24 mA output drivers, designed for bidirectional data transmission between two buses (A and B) in high-noise industrial systems. It features Ioff partial-power-down support, edge-rate control for noise reduction, typical ground bounce <0.6 V at 5 V, and operates across −40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT162646ETPVCT datasheet, 74FCT162646ETPVCT pinout, 74FCT162646ETPVCT application, or 74FCT162646ETPVCT equivalent, this device is selected for synchronous bus interfacing where controlled slew rate, low ground bounce, and register-based data staging are required - especially in backplane and transmission-line-driven systems.
Technical Context
The 74FCT162646ETPVCT implements dual 16-bit D-type registers with independent clock inputs (CLKAB/CLKBA), direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), and source-select inputs (SAB/SBA). Its architecture supports real-time transparent mode and registered storage mode, enabling multiplexed data routing between A and B buses without simultaneous transfer.
It uses Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing current backflow, and integrates edge-rate control to limit dV/dt - reducing system-level switching noise and EMI. The balanced 24 mA drivers include internal current-limiting resistors, minimizing need for external termination and suppressing undershoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no level-shifting required. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - balanced sourcing/sinking enables clean signal integrity on transmission lines without external resistors. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.6 V at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - reduces false triggering in multi-load systems. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 5.4 ns (bus-to-bus) - supports high-speed synchronous bus handshaking up to ~185 MHz effective throughput. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor control cabinets. |
| Ioff Support | Enabled at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current when powered down while other system rails remain active. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - withstands handling and board-level electrostatic events without latch-up or parametric shift. |
Pinout & Package
74FCT162646ETPVCT is housed in a 56-lead SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), 300-mil body width, JEDEC MO-118 compliant, with 0.025-inch pitch. Package dimensions: 11.35 mm × 18.67 mm × 2.4 mm (L×W×H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit section: LOW routes B→A, HIGH routes A→B. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Disables all A/B outputs to high-impedance state when HIGH; enables tristate output when LOW. |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB | Register Clock (A→B) | Loads data from A bus into B register on LOW-to-HIGH transition; controls registered A→B path. |
| 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register Clock (B→A) | Loads data from B bus into A register on LOW-to-HIGH transition; controls registered B→A path. |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Source Select (A Bus Output) | Selects whether A outputs drive real-time B data (SAB = L) or stored B register data (SAB = H). |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Source Select (B Bus Output) | Selects whether B outputs drive real-time A data (SBA = L) or stored A register data (SBA = H). |
| A1–A16 | Data Register A Inputs / Outputs | Bi-directional port: inputs when loading A register; outputs when driving B bus or holding stored data. |
| B1–B16 | Data Register B Inputs / Outputs | Bi-directional port: inputs when loading B register; outputs when driving A bus or holding stored data. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT162646CTPVCT | Same package, same pinout, but faster 5.4 ns max propagation delay (vs. 9.0 ns for E-grade); lower ICC dynamic current. | Preferred for new designs requiring tighter timing margins or lower power; not drop-in if timing budget relies on E-grade delay. | Select CY74FCT162646CTPVCT for higher-performance industrial control where propagation delay must be ≤5.4 ns. |
| 74FCT162646ATPVCT | Same package and pinout, 6.3 ns max propagation delay; intermediate speed grade between E and C variants. | Suitable for cost-sensitive upgrades from E-grade where moderate timing improvement is acceptable without full C-grade cost premium. | Choose 74FCT162646ATPVCT when balancing performance gain and procurement cost in volume production. |
Compared with 74FCT162646ETPVCT, the C-grade offers 40% lower propagation delay for timing-critical paths, while the A-grade delivers measurable improvement over E at lower cost than C - all share identical Ioff, drive strength, and thermal specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74FCT162646ETPVCT?
The 74FCT162646ETPVCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 9.0 ns maximum propagation delay (bus-to-bus) and 5.0 ns minimum clock pulse width imply reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz in well-terminated systems. Real-world timing depends on load capacitance, PCB routing, and supply stability - design validation requires worst-case timing analysis using the device's published tPLH/tPHL and setup/hold values.
Does the 74FCT162646ETPVCT support hot-swap or live-insertion?
Yes, the 74FCT162646ETPVCT supports partial-power-down via its Ioff circuitry: when VCC = 0 V, output leakage remains ≤±1 µA even with input/output voltages up to 4.5 V, preventing damaging back-current during hot-plug events. This makes it suitable for modular backplane systems where cards may be inserted or removed while the main chassis remains powered.
Can the 74FCT162646ETPVCT drive 50 Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes - the 74FCT162646ETPVCT's balanced ±24 mA output drivers, combined with integrated current-limiting resistors, provide near-ideal matching to 50 Ω lines without external series termination. Measured ground bounce remains below 0.6 V, and edge-rate control suppresses reflections and overshoot, enabling clean signal integrity on controlled-impedance PCB traces up to 20 cm.
What is the difference between 74FCT162646ETPVCT and CY74FCT162646ETPVC?
The 74FCT162646ETPVCT and CY74FCT162646ETPVC share identical electrical specs, pinout, and functionality. The prefix "CY" denotes original Cypress Semiconductor branding prior to TI's acquisition; post-acquisition, TI standardized part numbering to "74FCT…" for consistency. Both are functionally and physically interchangeable in existing designs.
Is the 74FCT162646ETPVCT RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74FCT162646ETPVCT is manufactured with Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) eco-plan: Pb-free, bromine-free, and antimony-free, with CU NIPDAU lead finish. It meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating and is qualified for standard 260°C reflow profiles without special baking requirements.
