Product details
Overview
74FCT163244APVG from Renesas Electronics is a 3.3V CMOS 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with quad-nibble, dual-byte, or full 16-bit 3-state control, 2.7–3.6V supply range, <4.8ns propagation delay (tPLH), and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a level-translating bus interface in mixed 3.3V/5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT163244APVG datasheet, 74FCT163244APVG pinout, 74FCT163244APVG application, or 74FCT163244APVG equivalent, key selection criteria include output skew (<0.5ns), rail-to-rail swing for noise margin, low ground bounce (0.3V typ.), 3.3V/5V-tolerant inputs, and SSOP-48 green package compatibility.
Technical Context
The 74FCT163244APVG implements a flow-through pinout architecture to simplify PCB layout and reduce signal crosstalk. Its four independent 4-bit groups each feature dedicated active-low 3-state enable (xOE) pins, enabling flexible bus segmentation without external logic.
It uses advanced dual-metal CMOS technology with input hysteresis (150mV typ.) for noise immunity and supports mixed-voltage interfacing: inputs accept 3.3V or 5V logic levels while outputs swing rail-to-rail under 3.3V supply, making it suitable for bridging legacy 5V peripherals to modern 3.3V buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - supports extended industrial supply tolerance without derating |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.5–4.8ns - enables high-speed bus buffering up to ~200MHz system clock domains |
| tPZH / tPZL | 1.5–6.2ns - ensures fast, deterministic bus arbitration during enable/disable transitions |
| tSK(o) | <0.5ns - guarantees tight timing alignment across all 16 outputs for synchronous data capture |
| IOL / IOH | –60mA / +90mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., backplanes, long traces) without signal degradation |
| Input Hysteresis | 150mV - rejects high-frequency noise on control and data lines in electrically noisy environments |
| ESD Rating | >2000V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for robust handling in industrial assembly |
Pinout & Package
74FCT163244APVG is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP), RoHS-compliant and green (lead-free), with 0.5mm pitch and flow-through pin arrangement optimized for minimal trace length and reduced layer count.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-Low 3-State Enable Inputs | Independent control per 4-bit group; enables partial bus isolation without global reset |
| 1A1–4A4 | Data Inputs | 3.3V/5V-tolerant; accept TTL or CMOS logic levels for mixed-supply translation |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-State Outputs | Rail-to-rail swing (VCC to GND); low ground bounce (0.3V typ.) preserves signal integrity |
| VCC (Pins 10, 24, 39, 48) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness |
| GND (Pins 11, 25, 38, 47) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated GND pins reduce ground loop impedance and suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides-eliminates layer jumps and vias in dense routing |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 150mV threshold margin-rejects EMI-induced glitches on control and data lines |
| Mixed-voltage interface | 3.3V outputs driven by 5V inputs-enables direct connection of legacy 5V logic to 3.3V buses |
| Low static power | 0.4μW typical ICC - reduces thermal load and simplifies thermal management in sealed enclosures |
| Output skew control | <0.5ns max between any two outputs-ensures simultaneous valid data sampling across 16-bit paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer/line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH162244DGGR | 3.3V-only inputs (no 5V tolerance); lower drive strength (±24mA); 56-pin TSSOP | Requires external level shifters in mixed 5V/3.3V systems; better suited for pure 3.3V FPGA I/O expansion | Select when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and board space allows larger footprint |
| 74LVC16244APAG | Same 48-pin TSSOP package; 1.65–3.6V VCC; no guaranteed 5V-tolerant inputs; higher ICCZ (10μA vs. 1μA) | Limited to 3.3V-only source logic; less suitable for legacy 5V peripheral integration | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 5V compatibility is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ALVCH162244DGGR and 74LVC16244APAG, the 74FCT163244APVG uniquely delivers 5V-tolerant inputs, tighter output skew (<0.5ns), and lower ground bounce (0.3V) - critical for industrial backplane reliability and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74FCT163244APVG?
The 74FCT163244APVG is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is fully supported across its specified VCC range of 2.7V to 3.6V and applies to all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and 3-state disable time. The device undergoes screening and characterization across this full range, making it suitable for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and automotive under-hood proximity applications.
Does the 74FCT163244APVG support 5V input logic levels?
Yes, the 74FCT163244APVG supports 5V-tolerant inputs on all data (xAx) and enable (xOE) pins. Inputs can be driven directly from 5V TTL or CMOS sources while operating from a 3.3V supply, enabling seamless level translation without external components. This capability is explicitly characterized in the datasheet's DC Electrical Characteristics table under VIH (up to 5.5V) and confirmed by absolute maximum ratings specifying VTERM(3) = –0.5V to +7V for input terminals.
What package type is used for the 74FCT163244APVG?
The 74FCT163244APVG uses a 48-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP) with green (lead-free) finish, denoted by the "PVG" suffix in the part number. It features 0.5mm lead pitch, JEDEC-standard dimensions, and a flow-through pinout that places inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side to minimize PCB routing complexity and layer count.
How many independent 3-state control groups does the 74FCT163244APVG provide?
The 74FCT163244APVG provides four independent active-low 3-state enable inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE. Each controls a dedicated 4-bit group (e.g., 1OE enables 1Y1–1Y4), allowing granular bus segmentation. This architecture supports quad-nibble, dual-byte, or full 16-bit operation modes without external logic, improving system-level flexibility and reducing gate count in bus arbitration circuits.
What is the maximum output skew specification for the 74FCT163244APVG?
The 74FCT163244APVG guarantees an output skew (tSK(o)) of less than 0.5ns between any two outputs switching in the same direction. This parameter is design-guaranteed and applies across the full operating range. Tight skew ensures deterministic timing alignment for parallel data paths-critical for reliable latching in high-speed bus interfaces, memory-mapped peripherals, and test instrumentation where simultaneous edge validity is required.
