Product details
Overview
74FCT163244CPVG from Renesas Electronics is a 3.3V CMOS 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with quad-nibble/dual-byte/16-bit selectable 3-state control, rail-to-rail output swing, <250ps output skew, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a level-translating bus interface in mixed 3.3V/5V systems, such as backplane data routing in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT163244CPVG datasheet, 74FCT163244CPVG pinout, 74FCT163244CPVG application, or 74FCT163244CPVG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V ±0.3V supply tolerance, 50mA output drive capability, 3.5pF input capacitance, 1.5ns min propagation delay, and compatibility with SSOP-48 green packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74FCT163244CPVG implements a flow-through pinout architecture using 0.5µm dual-metal CMOS technology, enabling simplified board layout and reduced signal crosstalk. Its four independent 4-bit groups each feature dedicated active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE–4OE), supporting flexible bus segmentation.
All inputs-including A1–A4 per group-exhibit hysteresis (150mV typical) and tolerate 5V logic levels, while outputs deliver rail-to-rail swing with low ground bounce (0.3V typ.) and support up to 24mA sink current at VOL ≤ 0.4V under VCC = 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V extended range; enables robust operation across power rail tolerances in industrial environments |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.5ns (min), 4.8ns (max); ensures sub-5ns propagation for high-speed parallel bus timing budgets |
| tPZH / tPZL | 1.5ns (min), 6.2ns (max); guarantees fast output enable/disable for dynamic bus arbitration |
| IOL / IOH | ±60mA (DC), 200mA (sink peak); supports driving heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs |
| CIN / COUT | 3.5pF / 3.5pF (typ); minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity |
| tSK(o) | <0.5ns (guaranteed by design); eliminates inter-bit skew-induced timing violations in synchronous 16-bit transfers |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0V (min VIH), 0.8V (max VIL); provides 150mV hysteresis margin against noise in electrically noisy industrial settings |
Pinout & Package
74FCT163244CPVG is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP), green RoHS-compliant, with 0.5mm pitch and 12.0mm × 6.2mm body size. Pin numbering follows standard SSOP top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit group; enables selective bus isolation without affecting other nibbles |
| 1A1–4A4 | Data inputs | 16 total inputs tolerant of 3.3V or 5V logic; no external level shifters required in mixed-supply systems |
| 1Y1–4Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Non-inverting outputs with rail-to-rail swing; drive capability supports stubbed backplane traces |
| VCC (Pins 24, 48) | Power supply | Dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide package body |
| GND (Pins 25, 47) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins provide low-inductance return path for high-frequency switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Maximizes noise margin in 3.3V systems by delivering VOH ≥ VCC–0.2V and VOL ≤ 0.2V at light load |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 150mV threshold separation improves immunity to slow-edge or noisy signals common in industrial wiring |
| Mixed-voltage input compatibility | Accepts 5V-tolerant inputs while powered from 3.3V, eliminating need for discrete translators in legacy upgrades |
| Low ground bounce (0.3V typ.) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise that could corrupt adjacent data or clock lines on dense PCBs |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and corresponding output pins aligned on opposite sides of package, minimizing trace length and crosstalk |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | Lower drive (24mA), 1.65–3.6V VCC, no 5V-tolerant inputs without external bias | Suitable only in pure 3.3V systems; requires redesign if 5V inputs present | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and higher drive is unnecessary |
| 74ALVC16244PW,118 | Same 5V-tolerant inputs, but 1.65–3.6V VCC range and 24mA drive; TSSOP-48 package | Lacks industrial temp rating (–40°C to +85°C); rated only to +85°C with derated performance above +70°C | Choose only for commercial-temp applications where footprint compatibility is critical and 5V input tolerance remains essential |

The 74FCT163244CPVG 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 DC and AC electrical characteristics, including propagation delay, output drive, and input hysteresis. The device undergoes screening and characterization to guarantee performance within this range.
Does the 74FCT163244CPVG support 5V logic inputs while powered from 3.3V?
Yes, the 74FCT163244CPVG supports 5V-tolerant inputs across its entire operating range. Input pins (xAx) accept voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC, enabling direct connection to 5V TTL or CMOS sources without level-shifting circuitry. This capability is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet's VIH specification and absolute maximum ratings.
What package type is used for the 74FCT163244CPVG?
The 74FCT163244CPVG uses a 48-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP) with green RoHS-compliant finish. Its dimensions are 12.0mm × 6.2mm with 0.5mm lead pitch. The "PVG" suffix in the part number directly denotes this SSOP-48 green package variant, confirmed in the official Renesas ordering information table.
How many independent 3-state control groups does the 74FCT163244CPVG have?
The 74FCT163244CPVG has four independent active-low 3-state enable inputs: 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE. Each controls a separate 4-bit group (nibble), allowing selective tri-stating of subsets of the 16 outputs. This architecture supports quad-nibble, dual-byte, or full 16-bit bus configurations without external logic.
What is the maximum output current capability of the 74FCT163244CPVG?
The 74FCT163244CPVG delivers ±60mA DC output current per pin, with peak sink capability up to 200mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (VCC = 3V). These values are specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under IODL and IODH parameters and are guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range.
