Product details
Overview
CY74FCT163244APVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state buffer/line driver with balanced 24 mA output drive, designed for memory and clock bus interface applications requiring high-speed (4.1 ns propagation delay), low power (ICC < 10 µA), and 5V-tolerant I/O in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT163244APVC datasheet, CY74FCT163244APVC pinout, CY74FCT163244APVC application, or CY74FCT163244APVC equivalent, this device serves as a pin-compatible FCT-C speed replacement for LCX/LPT families in 3.3V systems with live-insertion support, edge-rate control, and robust noise immunity.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT163244APVC implements four independent 4-bit groups of non-inverting buffers, each controlled by dedicated active-low 3-state enable inputs (1OE–4OE). Its architecture supports flexible 4-bit, 8-bit, or full 16-bit bus operation without internal logic coupling between groups.
It features current-limiting resistors integrated into 24 mA balanced output drivers, power-off disable (IOFF < ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V), and input hysteresis (100 mV) for noise rejection - all operating across VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V with 5V-tolerant inputs/outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct use in 3.3V systems with margin for supply variation. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.1 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - Supports >200 MHz bus timing in synchronous interfaces. |
| Output Drive (IODL/IODH) | ±24 mA balanced - Sustains signal integrity driving 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to +7.0 V - Allows safe interfacing with 5V logic sources without level shifters. |
| Power-Off Disable (IOFF) | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-driving and enables hot-swap capability in backplane systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
| Output Skew (tSK(O)) | < 250 ps typical - Ensures tight timing alignment across all 16 outputs for parallel data paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin SSOP (O48), 300-mil body width, JEDEC MO-118 compliant, 0.025-inch pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data Inputs (4 groups × 4 bits) | CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 5V-tolerant signals; no bus hold function. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | 3-State Outputs (4 groups × 4 bits) | 24 mA balanced drivers with current-limiting resistors; high-impedance when OE asserted. |
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-Low Output Enable (per group) | Independent control per 4-bit segment; enables mixed-width bus partitioning. |
| VCC (Pins 24, 48) | Power Supply | Dual VCC pins reduce supply inductance and improve noise immunity on wide buses. |
| GND (Pins 25, 47) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins provide low-inductance return path for 16 outputs and minimize ground bounce (Volp). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FCT-C speed grade | 4.1 ns max propagation delay ensures compatibility with high-frequency memory and clock distribution timing budgets. |
| 24 mA balanced output drive | Supports fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads or point-to-point 50-Ω traces without external termination. |
| Power-off disable (IOFF) | Enables live insertion into powered backplanes by blocking current flow when VCC = 0 V. |
| Edge-rate control circuitry | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and EMI emissions during output transitions. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds JEDEC Std 17 - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage conditions. |
Applications
| Memory Interface Buffering | Clock Distribution Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving address/data buses between FPGA and SRAM/Flash in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting 3-state buffer isolating and strengthening parallel 16-bit memory bus signals. Use Value: 4.1 ns delay and <250 ps skew preserve setup/hold margins across all 16 lines at 100+ MHz operation. |
Use Scenario: Distributing a single system clock to multiple ASICs or memory banks in telecom line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, high-drive clock fanout buffer with independent enable control per quadrant. Use Value: Dual VCC/GND pins and edge-rate control minimize jitter accumulation and ground bounce in multi-load clock trees. |
| Hot-Swappable Backplane Interface | Legacy Bus Translation Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing modular I/O cards to a powered 3.3V backplane with 5V-tolerant control lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-tolerant buffer enabling safe insertion/removal while main system remains operational. Use Value: IOFF ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V prevents back-powering and signal contention during card swap. |
Use Scenario: Bridging 5V microcontroller GPIOs to 3.3V peripheral buses in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-tolerant bidirectional buffer (with external direction control) for mixed-voltage subsystems. Use Value: 5V-tolerant inputs eliminate need for discrete level shifters; 24 mA drive sustains signal integrity over PCB traces. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT163244CPVC | Same package (SSOP), but 4.8 ns propagation delay (slower speed grade); identical VCC range, drive, and pinout. | Lower-speed applications where timing budget allows ≥4.8 ns delay; otherwise functionally interchangeable. | Select CPVC only if design tolerates slower propagation; APVC preferred for timing-critical 100+ MHz buses. |
| SN74LVC16244ADGGR | 3.3V-only I/O (not 5V-tolerant); 24 mA drive; 3.5 ns typical delay; same 48-pin TSSOP footprint (Z48), not SSOP. | Requires external level shifting for 5V source signals; unsuitable for live-insertion due to lack of IOFF spec. | Choose only in fully 3.3V systems with no 5V interfacing or hot-swap requirements; verify layout compatibility with TSSOP vs SSOP. |
Compared with CY74FCT163244CPVC and SN74LVC16244ADGGR, the CY74FCT163244APVC uniquely combines 4.1 ns speed, 5V-tolerant I/O, power-off disable, and SSOP packaging - making it the sole option for industrial hot-swap 3.3V bus interfaces demanding both performance and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY74FCT163244APVC?
The CY74FCT163244APVC does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 4.1 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) supports reliable operation in systems with bus cycle times ≥8.2 ns - corresponding to effective data rates up to ~120 MHz for single-data-rate interfaces. Actual usable frequency depends on board layout, load capacitance, and system timing margins.
Does CY74FCT163244APVC include bus-hold circuitry on its inputs?
No, the CY74FCT163244APVC does not include bus-hold functionality. That feature is exclusive to the CY74FCT163H244 variant. The CY74FCT163244APVC requires externally terminated or actively driven inputs to avoid floating states - unlike its H-series counterpart which retains last valid logic state automatically.
Can CY74FCT163244APVC be used with a 5V supply voltage?
No, CY74FCT163244APVC must operate within VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V. While its inputs and outputs tolerate up to +7.0 V (5V-tolerant), applying 5V to VCC exceeds absolute maximum ratings and will damage the device. It is designed exclusively for 3.3V core logic systems interfacing to 5V peripherals.
What is the purpose of dual VCC and GND pins on CY74FCT163244APVC?
The dual VCC (pins 24, 48) and dual GND (pins 25, 47) on CY74FCT163244APVC reduce power supply inductance and distribute current across the 16-output structure. This minimizes ground bounce (Volp) and improves noise immunity - critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed parallel bus applications.
Is CY74FCT163244APVC RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, CY74FCT163244APVC is RoHS-compliant and lead-free (Pb-Free), meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Per TI's packaging documentation, it uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish and falls under the "Pb-Free (RoHS)" eco-plan classification with JEDEC-standard moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating.
