Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16244CTPVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting three-state buffer/line driver designed for high-speed memory and bus interface applications. It delivers 64 mA sink and 32 mA source drive capability, supports Ioff partial-power-down protection, operates at 5V ±10%, and features typical output skew <250 ps. It is used in industrial backplane drivers requiring robust noise immunity and fast propagation (1.5–4.1 ns).
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16244CTPVC datasheet, CY74FCT16244CTPVC pinout, CY74FCT16244CTPVC application, or CY74FCT16244CTPVC equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SSOP-48 package mapping, confirmed drive strength and timing specs, Ioff behavior, and two validated alternative parts with documented differences in output balance and bus-hold functionality.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT16244CTPVC implements four independent 4-bit groups of non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low three-state enable (OE) inputs. Its output stage uses asymmetrical drive-64 mA sink / 32 mA source-to optimize high-capacitance load driving while minimizing ground bounce (typical VOLP <1.0 V).
It integrates edge-rate control circuitry to suppress switching noise and includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs and blocks reverse current when VCC = 0 V. The device is fully specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 5V ±10% supply operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT162244CTPVC | 24 mA balanced (sink/source) drive; integrated current-limiting resistors reduce ground bounce (VOLP <0.6 V). | Better suited for controlled-impedance transmission lines; less ideal for high-sink-demand backplanes. | Select when driving long traces or stubbed buses where symmetrical edge control and reduced undershoot are prioritized. |
| CY74FCT162H244CTPVC | 24 mA balanced drive plus bus-hold on all inputs; retains last logic state when inputs float. | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors; improves reliability in noisy or intermittently connected environments. | Select when input floating risk exists (e.g., connector-based systems) and bus-hold functionality adds value over raw drive strength. |
Compared with CY74FCT16244CTPVC, CY74FCT162244CTPVC trades higher sink current for lower noise and symmetrical drive, while CY74FCT162H244CTPVC adds bus-hold but reduces drive strength-making CY74FCT16244CTPVC optimal for high-sink, low-skew backplane applications where external biasing is already implemented.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT16244CTPVC?
The CY74FCT16244CTPVC does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, as it is a combinatorial buffer-not a clocked device. Its performance is defined by propagation delay (1.5–4.1 ns) and output skew (<250 ps), enabling reliable operation in data/address buses running up to ~100 MHz with proper layout and termination. System-level timing must be verified using these parameters in conjunction with load capacitance and trace impedance.
Does the CY74FCT16244CTPVC support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT16244CTPVC includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs and blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V. This allows safe insertion or removal in live backplane systems and supports partial-power-down modes in mixed-supply designs-confirmed in the datasheet's "Partial-Power-Down Applications" section and electrical characteristics table (IOFF ≤ ±1 µA).
What is the pin-compatible replacement for CY74FCT16244CTPVC in TSSOP package?
The CY74FCT16244CTPACT is the TSSOP-48 (Z48) variant of the same device, sharing identical logic, timing, drive strength, and pinout with the CY74FCT16244CTPVC (SSOP-48). Both use JEDEC-standard 48-pin layouts with matching signal assignments; only package dimensions and thermal characteristics differ-no PCB redesign is required for migration between them.
How does the CY74FCT16244CTPVC handle ground bounce during high-current switching?
The CY74FCT16244CTPVC limits ground bounce via edge-rate control circuitry and dual GND pins (Pins 1 and 25), achieving typical VOLP <1.0 V at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C. Its asymmetrical 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive also reduces transient current imbalance, and the flow-through pinout minimizes ground loop inductance-key factors verified in the "Output Drive Characteristics" and "Features" sections of the datasheet.
Is bus-hold functionality present on the CY74FCT16244CTPVC inputs?
No, bus-hold is not present on the CY74FCT16244CTPVC. That feature is exclusive to the CY74FCT162H244CTPVC variant, as explicitly stated in the Functional Description and Pin Description sections. The CY74FCT16244CTPVC requires externally biased inputs (to VCC or GND) when unused or disconnected-per datasheet Note 4: "Unused inputs must always be connected to an appropriate logic voltage level."
