Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16244ETPVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting three-state buffer/line driver designed for high-speed memory and bus interface applications. It features 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive capability, Ioff partial-power-down support, edge-rate controlled outputs to minimize noise, and operates across –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 5V ±10%. It is optimized for driving high-capacitance loads and low-impedance backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16244ETPVC datasheet, CY74FCT16244ETPVC pinout, CY74FCT16244ETPVC application, or CY74FCT16244ETPVC equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength (64 mA sink), ground-bounce performance (VOLP <1.0 V), propagation delay (max 6.5 ns), Ioff-enabled power-down safety, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit groups of non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low three-state enable (OE) inputs enabling flexible 4-bit, 8-bit, or full 16-bit bus control. Its flow-through pinout simplifies PCB layout and reduces trace skew.
The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down to prevent current backflow, while edge-rate control limits di/dt and significantly improves system-level noise immunity. Output skew is guaranteed ≤250 ps, supporting tight timing margins in synchronous bus systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - Ensures compatibility with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and stable operation across industrial voltage variation. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Enables direct driving of heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF traces) and unterminated backplanes without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 6.5 ns - Supports high-speed data transfer up to ~150 MHz bus rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded configurations. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <1.0 V at VCC = 5V, TA = 25°C - Reduces switching noise-induced logic errors on shared ground planes. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0V - Prevents damaging back-current flow when powered down in mixed-voltage or hot-swap systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including factory automation, motor control, and telecom infrastructure. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service. |

| GND (Pins 1, 12, 25, 36) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable reference for all output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents reverse current flow during VCC ramp-down or hot-insertion, eliminating need for external isolation diodes. |
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), improving signal integrity on dense PCBs. |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides of package, minimizing trace crossovers and reducing layout complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT162244TPVC | 24 mA balanced drive (sink/source), lower ground bounce (VOLP <0.6 V), no Ioff | Better suited for transmission-line driving with series termination; less suitable for high-current backplane loads | Select when driving controlled-impedance traces (e.g., 50 Ω) and minimal undershoot is critical. |
| CY74FCT162H244TPVC | 24 mA balanced drive with bus-hold inputs, eliminates need for external pull resistors | Preferred for floating-input scenarios (e.g., unpopulated slots, hot-plug connectors); higher input leakage | Choose where input stability during disconnection or configuration changes is required without added passives. |
Compared with CY74FCT162244TPVC and CY74FCT162H244TPVC, the CY74FCT16244ETPVC delivers superior current drive and Ioff protection but lacks bus-hold and has higher ground bounce-making it optimal for high-fanout, high-noise-margin industrial bus interfaces rather than transmission-line or floating-input use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY74FCT16244ETPVC?
The CY74FCT16244ETPVC does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 6.5 ns maximum propagation delay supports reliable operation in bus systems with cycle times ≥15 ns-equivalent to sustained data rates up to ~65 MHz in point-to-point configurations. Actual achievable frequency depends on load capacitance, trace length, and termination; for 100 pF loads, practical limits are ~25–40 MHz without external tuning. The CY74FCT16244ETPVC is intended for asynchronous or source-synchronous interfaces-not clock distribution.
Does CY74FCT16244ETPVC support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes, CY74FCT16244ETPVC supports hot-swap applications via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, the outputs are actively disabled and high-impedance, preventing damaging current backflow from live backplanes or neighboring powered devices. This allows safe insertion/removal in modular systems. However, input clamping (VIK = –1.2 V) and ESD rating (>2000 V HBM) provide additional robustness-but external TVS or current-limiting resistors are still recommended for sustained fault conditions.
What is the purpose of the four separate OE pins on CY74FCT16244ETPVC?
The four independent active-low OE pins (1OE–4OE) on CY74FCT16244ETPVC enable granular control over its four 4-bit buffer sections. This allows designers to isolate specific data lanes-for example, enabling only address bits while holding data lines in high-Z during memory access arbitration. It eliminates need for external gating logic and supports flexible bus partitioning in multi-master or time-multiplexed architectures, directly enhancing system-level timing control and power management in the CY74FCT16244ETPVC implementation.
Can CY74FCT16244ETPVC be used with 3.3V logic systems?
No, CY74FCT16244ETPVC is strictly a 5V-only device: its absolute maximum VCC is 7.0 V, minimum operating VCC is 4.5 V (5V ±10%), and input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are TTL-compatible-not 3.3V CMOS. Driving its inputs from 3.3V logic may result in marginal HIGH recognition; connecting its 5V outputs to 3.3V-only inputs risks damage. For mixed-voltage systems, level-shifting buffers or TI's ALVC/AVC families are required instead of CY74FCT16244ETPVC.
How does the flow-through pinout of CY74FCT16244ETPVC improve PCB layout?
The flow-through pinout of CY74FCT16244ETPVC aligns inputs on one side (e.g., left) and corresponding outputs on the opposite side (e.g., right), enabling straight, short, parallel trace routing without vias or crossovers. This minimizes trace length mismatch, reduces parasitic inductance/capacitance, and lowers skew between related signals-critical for maintaining timing margins in 16-bit parallel buses. Combined with four GND/VCC pins, this layout advantage directly enhances signal integrity and eases compliance with industrial EMI standards in the CY74FCT16244ETPVC design.
