Product details
Overview
74FCT163244CPAG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 3.3V CMOS 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with quad-nibble 3-state control, rail-to-rail output swing, and mixed-voltage interface capability (3.3V/5V tolerant inputs). It operates across –40°C to +85°C and delivers <250ps output skew for high-speed bus interfacing in industrial backplane systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT163244CPAG8 datasheet, 74FCT163244CPAG8 pinout, 74FCT163244CPAG8 application, or 74FCT163244CPAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V supply range (2.7–3.6V), ±60mA drive strength, 4.8ns max propagation delay, low ground bounce (0.3V typ.), and SSOP-48 package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74FCT163244CPAG8 implements a flow-through pin architecture with four independent 4-bit groups, each controlled by dedicated active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE–4OE). Its dual-metal CMOS process enables TTL-compatible input thresholds while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
All 16 inputs accept 3.3V or 5V logic levels, enabling level translation between legacy 5V components and modern 3.3V buses. Outputs switch rail-to-rail with guaranteed VOH ≥2.4V at –8mA and VOL ≤0.4V at 24mA, supporting robust noise margin in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - supports extended industrial supply tolerance without regulation |
| Propagation Delay | 4.8ns max (CL = 50pF, RL = 500Ω) - ensures timing closure in 100+ MHz bus designs |
| Output Skew | <0.5ns - minimizes data eye distortion across all 16 outputs |
| Drive Strength | ±60mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long traces, multiple receivers) |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5V to 5.5V on inputs - enables direct connection to 5V logic without external level shifters |
| Quiescent Current | 10μA max - reduces standby power in always-on industrial controllers |
| ESD Rating | >2000V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 for rugged handling in manufacturing |

| 1A1–4A4 | Data inputs | 16 total inputs; 5V-tolerant with hysteresis for noise immunity |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Rail-to-rail swing, ±60mA drive, low ground bounce (0.3V typ.) |
| VCC (Pins 24, 48) | Power supply | Dual VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve signal integrity |
| GND (Pins 1, 12, 25, 36) | Ground reference | Four GND pins minimize ground loop inductance and suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interface | 3.3V core with 5V-tolerant inputs eliminates external level translators in hybrid systems |
| Flow-through pinout | Input–output alignment simplifies PCB routing and reduces trace crosstalk |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 3.3V-only inputs (no 5V tolerance); 3.6ns max tPD; 24mA drive | Suitable only in pure 3.3V systems; lower drive limits use in lighter-loaded buses | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage requirement and load current stays below 24mA |
| 74ALVC16244PW,118 | 3.3V supply; 5V-tolerant inputs; 3.9ns max tPD; ±24mA drive | Lower drive capability restricts use to short-trace, low-capacitance interconnects | Prefer where board space is constrained (TSSOP-48) and full 60mA drive is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVC16244ADGGR and 74ALVC16244PW,118, the 74FCT163244CPAG8 provides superior drive strength and true 5V input tolerance-critical for retrofitting legacy systems-while maintaining compatible timing and package footprint for drop-in evaluation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74FCT163244CPAG8?
The 74FCT163244CPAG8 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is fully supported across its specified VCC range of 2.7V to 3.6V and guarantees all electrical parameters-including propagation delay, drive strength, and noise margin-within those limits. The device uses thermal design and process controls validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 for temperature cycling reliability.
Does the 74FCT163244CPAG8 support 5V input logic levels?
Yes, the 74FCT163244CPAG8 accepts 5V-tolerant inputs on all A-pin terminals (1A1–4A4), with VIH guaranteed up to 5.5V and VIL down to –0.5V. This allows direct interfacing with legacy 5V TTL or CMOS components without external level-shifting circuitry, making it ideal for upgrading mixed-voltage systems while preserving timing integrity.
What package type is used for the 74FCT163244CPAG8?
The 74FCT163244CPAG8 is supplied in a 48-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP) with green RoHS-compliant finish, designated "PAG" in Renesas' ordering nomenclature. Its dimensions are 12.0mm × 6.2mm with 0.635mm lead pitch, and it features four GND and two VCC pins for optimal power integrity in high-speed layouts.
How many independent 3-state control inputs does the 74FCT163244CPAG8 have?
The 74FCT163244CPAG8 has four independent active-low 3-state enable inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE. Each controls a distinct 4-bit nibble (e.g., 1OE governs outputs 1Y1–1Y4), enabling flexible bus segmentation, partial bus driving, and power-gating of unused sections without affecting other data lanes.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the 74FCT163244CPAG8?
The 74FCT163244CPAG8 delivers ±60mA DC output current per Y-pin under specified conditions (VCC = 3.3V, VO = 1.5V). This high drive strength supports heavy capacitive loads-such as long PCB traces or multiple fan-out destinations-while maintaining VOL ≤0.4V at 24mA and VOH ≥2.4V at –8mA, ensuring reliable logic-level compliance.
