Product details
Overview
74FCT162H245CTPACT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting bus transceiver with bus-hold inputs, 24-mA balanced output drivers, 4.1-ns max propagation delay (A↔B), and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation. It operates at 5V ±10% across –40°C to +85°C and is used in bidirectional data routing between microprocessor buses and peripheral subsystems in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT162H245CTPACT datasheet, 74FCT162H245CTPACT pinout, 74FCT162H245CTPACT application, or 74FCT162H245CTPACT equivalent, key selection criteria include bus-hold input retention, 24-mA drive strength with low ground bounce (<0.6 V), TSSOP-48 package compatibility, and industrial temperature compliance without external biasing resistors.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-octal bidirectional data flow controlled by separate DIR and OE signals per 8-bit section, enabling independent or unified 16-bit operation. Its bus-hold circuitry actively maintains last-valid logic state on all A- and B-side inputs during high-impedance conditions, eliminating pull-up/down requirements.
It features edge-rate-controlled outputs to minimize switching noise and ESD protection >2000 V. The Ioff specification ensures no backflow current when VCC = 0 V, supporting hot-insertion and power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5 V ±10% - Fixed single-supply operation compatible with TTL/CMOS logic families. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 4.1 ns - Enables high-speed synchronous bus transfers up to ~240 MHz system clock edge rates. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Balanced sourcing/sinking supports transmission-line driving without external termination. |
| Bus Hold Current (IBBH/IBBL) | ±50 µA - Maintains stable input logic level during floating conditions; eliminates external bias resistors. |
| Ioff | <±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during partial power-down or hot-swap events. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems with thermal cycling reliability. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Robust handling in manufacturing and field service environments. |
Pinout & Package
74FCT162H245CTPACT is housed in a 48-pin TSSOP (DGG) package, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm max height, 0.5-mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control inputs (per octal) | Active-HIGH signal selects data flow direction: A→B (DIR=H) or B→A (DIR=L). |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable inputs (active LOW) | When HIGH, places corresponding A/B outputs in high-impedance state; enables bus isolation. |
| A1–A16 | Port A bidirectional I/O terminals | Connect to local bus; bus-hold active on all pins to prevent floating during tri-state or unconnected states. |
| B1–B16 | Port B bidirectional I/O terminals | Connect to remote bus; identical bus-hold and drive characteristics as Port A. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and ground | Four VCC and six GND pins distributed for low-noise decoupling and reduced ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-hold inputs | Maintains last valid logic state on all 32 data pins without external resistors-reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| 24-mA balanced output drivers | Minimizes undershoot/overshoot and ground bounce (<0.6 V typical), enabling clean signal integrity on stubbed or unterminated traces. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents reverse current flow when VCC is off, supporting safe hot-plug and mixed-voltage domain interoperability. |
| Edge-rate control | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN), easing EMC compliance in dense PCB layouts with multiple parallel transceivers. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT162245CTPACT | No bus-hold; 24-mA drive; same 4.1-ns delay and TSSOP-48 package. | Requires external pull-up/down resistors on all inputs; higher risk of floating-induced glitches in unpopulated slots. | Select when bus-hold is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over robustness in dynamic slot configurations. |
| SN74LVCH16245AQPWREP | 3.3-V only; 32-mA drive; 5.6-ns max delay; enhanced ESD (4-kV HBM); automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C). | Not 5-V tolerant; incompatible with legacy 5-V buses unless level-shifted; suited for new 3.3-V automotive ECUs. | Select for next-gen 3.3-V designs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and higher drive strength, not for drop-in replacement of 74FCT162H245CTPACT. |
Compared with CY74FCT162245CTPACT, 74FCT162H245CTPACT adds bus-hold for plug-and-play reliability in modular systems; compared with SN74LVCH16245AQPWREP, it retains 5-V compatibility and faster propagation but lacks automotive qualification and 3.3-V operation.

FAQ
What is the function of bus-hold circuitry in the 74FCT162H245CTPACT?
The bus-hold feature in the 74FCT162H245CTPACT actively retains the last valid logic state on all 32 data inputs (A1–A16 and B1–B16) when those inputs float to high impedance. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing component count and preventing undefined states during hot-swap, unpopulated slots, or tri-state transitions. It is implemented via weak feedback transistors with ±50 µA sustain current.
Does the 74FCT162H245CTPACT support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the 74FCT162H245CTPACT fully supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff specification: when VCC = 0 V, leakage current is limited to ±1 µA, preventing damaging back-current flow through powered-down I/Os. This enables safe hot-plug capability and mixed-voltage domain interoperability in systems where subsystems power up/down independently.
What is the maximum operating speed supported by the 74FCT162H245CTPACT?
The 74FCT162H245CTPACT guarantees a maximum propagation delay of 4.1 ns (A↔B) under industrial conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = +85°C). This supports reliable bidirectional data transfer at bus clock rates up to approximately 240 MHz for edge-aligned timing, assuming adequate board-level signal integrity and load capacitance ≤50 pF per line.
Can the 74FCT162H245CTPACT be used as two independent 8-bit transceivers?
Yes, the 74FCT162H245CTPACT can operate as two independent octal transceivers: Section 1 (pins A1–A8/B1–B8/1DIR/1OE) and Section 2 (pins A9–A16/B9–B16/2DIR/2OE) each have dedicated direction and output-enable controls. This allows asynchronous data flow-for example, CPU-to-peripheral on one side while peripheral-to-memory occurs on the other-without internal contention.
What package type and footprint does the 74FCT162H245CTPACT use?
The 74FCT162H245CTPACT uses a 48-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrunk Small Outline Package), TI package code DGG, with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height. It complies with JEDEC MO-153 and requires a land pattern matching IPC-7351 "SOIC-TSSOP-DGG-48" with non-solder-mask-defined pads and 0.125-mm stencil thickness for optimal reflow yield.
