Product details
Overview
74FCT162H244CTPVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with bus-hold inputs, designed for memory and bus interface applications requiring high-speed (4.1 ns max propagation delay), low-noise operation, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It delivers ±24 mA balanced output drive at 5V, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and uses a 48-pin SSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT162H244CTPVC datasheet, 74FCT162H244CTPVC pinout, 74FCT162H244CTPVC application, or 74FCT162H244CTPVC equivalent, key selection criteria include bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull resistors, 24-mA balanced drive for transmission-line compatibility, Ioff protection during power sequencing, and industrial-temperature SSOP packaging.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or quad 4-bit configurable 3-state buffering via independent OE controls per 4-bit group (1OE–4OE). Its bus-hold circuitry actively retains the last logic state on each A-input when floating, preventing undefined states without external biasing.
The output stage uses current-limited drivers to reduce ground bounce (VOLP < 0.6 V) and undershoot, while edge-rate control minimizes switching noise. Propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.1 ns), output skew (< 0.5 ns), and Ioff enable robust operation in mixed-voltage or hot-swap systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 5 V ± 10% - Ensures compatibility with standard TTL/CMOS 5-V systems and stable operation under supply variation. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 4.1 ns - Enables reliable timing in high-speed address/data bus applications up to ~200 MHz clock domains. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Provides sufficient current to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external termination. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±50 µA sustain, ±100 µA overdrive - Maintains valid logic levels on un-driven inputs, eliminating need for 4.7-kΩ pull-up/down resistors. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-drive current into powered sections during partial power-down, protecting system integrity. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including factory automation, telecom infrastructure, and embedded control. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Supports handling and assembly in standard manufacturing without special ESD precautions. |
Pinout & Package
The 74FCT162H244CTPVC is housed in a 48-pin Shrunk Small Outline Package (SSOP), 300-mil body width, with 0.025-inch (0.635 mm) lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; package conforms to JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data Inputs (with bus hold) | 16 buffered inputs; each retains last logic state when floating, removing need for external biasing. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | 3-State Outputs | 16 non-inverting outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is HIGH, enabling bus sharing. |
| 1OE–4OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Four independent enables allow 4-bit, 8-bit, or full 16-bit group control - simplifies partial bus gating. |
| VCC (Pins 24, 48) | Power Supply | Dual VCC pins reduce supply inductance and improve noise immunity across wide bus layouts. |
| GND (Pins 25, 47) | Ground Reference | Dual GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for minimizing ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Eliminates external pull-up/pull-down resistors on all 16 data inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down | Disables outputs and blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe insertion/removal in live backplanes. |
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and EMI, improving signal integrity on dense PCBs and backplanes. |
| Balanced ±24-mA Drive | Matches source/sink strength to minimize duty-cycle distortion and ground/power rail collapse during heavy switching. |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.6 V at VCC = 5 V - Limits voltage droop on shared ground nets, preserving noise margins for adjacent logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bus-hold buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT162H244ATPVC | Slower 4.8 ns max propagation delay; otherwise identical bus-hold, Ioff, and drive specs. | Suitable for lower-speed designs where timing margin allows relaxed delay; same pinout and footprint. | Select when 4.1 ns speed is unnecessary and cost or inventory availability favors the 'A' speed grade. |
| 74FCT162244CTPVC | No bus-hold inputs; 24-mA balanced drive and Ioff retained; identical timing (4.1 ns). | Requires external pull-up/down resistors on all inputs; preferred where input states are always driven. | Choose when bus-hold is not needed and design already includes termination; offers same performance with simpler input behavior. |
Compared with 74FCT162H244CTPVC, the CY74FCT162H244ATPVC trades 0.7 ns speed for broader availability in some channels, while the 74FCT162244CTPVC removes bus-hold to reduce input complexity - both retain identical 48-pin SSOP packaging and Ioff safety for industrial use.

FAQ
What is the function of bus-hold circuitry in the 74FCT162H244CTPVC?
The bus-hold circuitry in the 74FCT162H244CTPVC actively maintains the last valid logic state on each of its 16 input pins when those inputs become electrically floating. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reduces component count, and prevents undefined states during power-up, reset, or signal disconnection. The 74FCT162H244CTPVC sustains this state with ±50 µA current, ensuring stability across the full industrial temperature range.
Does the 74FCT162H244CTPVC support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the 74FCT162H244CTPVC supports partial power-down via its Ioff feature. When VCC is at 0 V, the outputs are disabled and leakage current is limited to ±1 µA, preventing damaging current backflow from powered system sections into the unpowered device. This capability makes the 74FCT162H244CTPVC suitable for hot-swap applications and mixed-power-domain designs where subsystems power up/down independently.
What package type and dimensions does the 74FCT162H244CTPVC use?
The 74FCT162H244CTPVC uses a 48-pin Shrunk Small Outline Package (SSOP) with 300-mil body width and 0.025-inch (0.635 mm) lead pitch, designated O48 per TI's ordering nomenclature. Its mechanical outline complies with JEDEC MO-153, measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.95 mm max height. The package includes dual VCC and GND pins to minimize supply inductance and ground bounce.
How does the 74FCT162H244CTPVC differ from the standard 74FCT16244CTPVC?
The 74FCT162H244CTPVC differs from the 74FCT16244CTPVC primarily in input structure: it includes bus-hold circuitry on all 16 inputs, whereas the 74FCT16244CTPVC has standard TTL-compatible inputs requiring external biasing when floating. Both share identical 4.1 ns speed grade, ±24 mA drive, Ioff, and SSOP packaging. The 74FCT162H244CTPVC also replaces the 74FCT16244CTPVC's higher 32 mA source/64 mA sink asymmetry with balanced drive.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the 74FCT162H244CTPVC?
The 74FCT162H244CTPVC has an absolute maximum storage temperature of –55°C to +125°C, DC input/output voltage range of –0.5 V to +7.0 V, maximum sink current per pin of –60 mA, and total power dissipation limit of 1.0 W. Static discharge voltage exceeds 2000 V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015. These ratings define stress limits beyond which device reliability may degrade; the 74FCT162H244CTPVC is specified to operate continuously within –40°C to +85°C at 5 V ±10%.
